About DAB programmes
The Digital Audio Broadcasting (hereinafter re-
ferred 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 pro-
gramme 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.
