10)  DAB signal recording

DR301 has DAB signal record feature that enables you to record live broad-
casts while listening. DAB recordings are stored in the SD card inserted in
the slot. The recording method makes a copy of the DAB broadcast data
stream. This is in MP2 format, and the bit-rate will be the same as the origi-
nal broadcast. The bit rate of the broadcast is shown on the display. The
amount of memory used will depend on the service you want to record. As a
rough guide the amount of memory required for a 10 minute recording at
common bit rates is as follows:

64kbps        5MB                  128kbps     10MB

192 kbps    15MB                   256kbps     20MB
