Listening to DAB stations (ISX-18D)
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) and DAB+ use digital signals for clearer sound and more stable reception compared to analog signals. DAB+ is based on the
original DAB standard but uses a more efficient audio codec.
DAB and DAB+ are broadcast in blocks of data called “ensembles” containing up to several radio stations that are simultaneously broadcast.
DAB and DAB+ can also include an extensive amount of text information, enabling you to select a station by name.
Other information, such as the ensemble name or the status of the digital signal, can be displayed on the DAB information display.
“DAB” described in this manual may also refer to “DAB+.”
