Listening to DAB radio (U.K., Europe, Australia and Russia models)
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 HE-AAC v2
audio codec, which has a more efficient transmission method.
Note
▪ The unit supports Band III
to
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. .
