Listening to DAB radio (RX-V481D)
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) uses digital signals for clearer sound and more
stable reception compared to analog signals. The unit can also receive DAB+ (an
upgraded version of DAB) that allows for more stations using MPEG-4 audio codec
(AAC+), which has a more efficient transmission method.
Note
▪ The unit supports Band III (174 to 240 MHz) only.
▪ Be sure to check the DAB coverage in your area in that not all areas are currently being covered. For a list
of nationwide DAB statuses and worldwide DAB frequencies, check WorldDMB online at
http://www.worlddab.org/.
▪ For details on the antenna connection, see “Connecting the radio antennas” (p.25).
