About DAB programmes
The DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) system
transmits several programmes on one frequency
simultaneously, by compressing audio signals.
• A DAB station has multiple programmes on
one frequency.
• 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 the DAB programmes are broadcasted
on several different frequencies, the same
programme can be enjoyed over large areas.
• When you turn this unit on and select the 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:
•
To improve audio quality, the receiver needs to
tune in to an ensemble. While the receiver is being
tuned in to the ensemble, the Audio outputs are
muted. The tuning time is not fixed.
•
The following functions can be used by the same
operations as the RDS operations (see page 35):
• AF function
• TA (Traffic Announcement)
• Selecting PTY
• PTY seek
• PTY preset memory
• Emergency broadcast
• Setting volume of TA, emergency broadcast
(ALARM), information, and PTY
