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.
• 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
.
• For details on the antenna connection, see “Connecting the radio antennas”
