DAB Overview
DAB Overview
DAB Radio tuning is very different to traditional analogue radio tuning. In DAB mode the user is not required to know
anything about station frequencies.
Instead an organised list of the DAB radio stations receivable in the current location is created by the radio. This list
is initially organised into alphabetical order (by the first letter of the station name only).
The “Auto tune” function is the system that the DAB radio uses to create the list of available stations. The list would
be organised in the following way:
TOP
A-Example Station >B-Example Station >C-Example Station >D-Example Station >
E-Example Station >F-Example Station >G-Example Station >H-Example Station
Bottom
After Autotune has completed the radio will automatically tune to the top station in the Station List. In the fictional
Station List above this would be “A-Example Station”
This radio provides two different ways of selecting stations from the list it has created.
Using the “Up”, “Down”, and “Select / play” buttons – as described later in this manual
Using the “SKIP-” and “SKIP+” buttons – as described later in this manual
When using these buttons to select stations the list is cyclic. Using the above list as an example this means that if the
selection continues down past “H-Example Station” the next station presented will be ”A-Example Station”.
If the same thing is done in the opposite direction i.e. the selection continues up past “A-Example station” the next
station presented will be “H-Example Station”
NOTE:
There is one condition where the Station List is not sorted into alphabetical order.
This is when the “Sort by Favourites” option is switched ON using the “Menu” button as described later in this manual.
However the default setting for the unit at initial Power up is as described above.
