About DAB programmes
The Digital Audio Broadcasting (hereinafter
referred to as “
DAB
”) system transmits several
programmes on one frequency simultaneously,
by compressing audio signals.
∗
The group of programmes, which is
transmitted on a single frequency is called
“
ensemble
”.
∗
Some DAB stations have several ensembles
and broadcast diversified programmes.
∗
The number of programmes and the
contents which an ensemble provides
depend on the broadcast stations and times.
Since DAB programmes are broadcast on
several different frequencies, the same
programme can be enjoyed over large areas.
●
A DAB station has multiple programmes on
one frequency.
●
When you turn the unit on and select DAB
mode, the programme that starts is the one
that was selected before when the power
was turned off. If this programme is not
available, another programme is selected
automatically.
●
Programmes have their own names, just like
PS on RDS.
Note:
• For sophisticated audio quality, the receiver
needs to tune on a DAB Ensemble. While the
receiver is being tuned in to the DAB Ensemble,
the Audio outputs are muted. The tuning time is
not fixed.
