Overview of DAB
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new
multimedia broadcasting system that replaces
the current FM/AM broadcast to transmit audio
programmes with a quality comparable to that of
CDs
*
.
Each DAB multiplex radio station converts
programmes (services) into an ensemble, which
it then broadcasts. Each service contains one or
more components. All services and components
are identified by name, so you can access any of
them without having to know their frequencies.
Furthermore, additional information (called
programme associated data) can be broadcast
along with the services in the form of text.
With DAB digital radio, you can enjoy:
– CD sound quality without any hiss or crackle to
spoil the sound
*
– both music and data services from a single tuner
(this tuner does not support data services)
– the same radio stations of the same frequency from
anywhere in the country
– multiple programmes (services) from a single
frequency
* Some service components may not match CD quality
sound.
Notes
• The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your
country or region. It may not be broadcasted or may
be in test phase.
• DAB programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 to
240 MHz) and/or L-Band (1,452 to 1,491 MHz),
with each band divided into channels. Each of these
channels has its own channel label. For details on the
channel labels and frequencies that this tuner
supports, see the Frequency Table on page 22.
• This tuner supports Band-III only.
• This tuner does not support data services.
• This tuner does not support reception in countries
outside of Europe.
