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 30.
• This tuner supports Band-III and L-Band.
• This tuner does not support data services.
• This tuner does not support reception in countries
outside of Europe.
