6. DAB Radio
DAB – Digital Audio Broadcasting
DAB radio is not the same as analogue radio. In DAB mode, the signals from several broadcasters
are combined and sent on the same frequency. These groups of signals are called Multiplexes
and Ensembles. Each time a group has been found, its name appears at the bottom of the display.
DAB mode - secondary services
Sometimes, a “>” symbol can be seen after the name of a station. This indicates that the station has
a secondary service. This secondary service could be in the form of a sports commentary for example.
Automatic standby (after long period of inactivity)
The CD player automatically switches to standby mode after a long period of inactivity. This occurs
when the CD player is in stop mode for a long time or if the DAB radio receives no signal.
To re-activate the CD player, first switch the function selector to
OFF
and then switch it back to
the desired function,
CD
or
DAB+/FM
.
