Digital audio broadcastingGENERAL INFORMATION
Digital radio reception
Digital audio broadcas ting (DAB) provides a
clear signal with minimal interference, hiss or
fading. After a channel (or station) has been
tuned and stored, you do not need to retune.
Radio signals travel in a straight line so large
obstacles, such as tall buildings, can shield the
vehicle from the signal, causing temporary loss
of reception (known as dead spots).
Digital radio is tran smitted from regional
terrestrial transmitters. Some local digital radio
channels are not available outside the range of
a transmitter. If you want to listen to new local
channels as you move around the country, you
will need to use the auto-tune function (AUTO)
to build new channel lists. Digital radio channels are organised into
groups called ensemble s (also known as
multiplexes). Some indi vidual channels may
also provide a number of subchannels. For
example, if several sports events are being held
simultaneously, the ch annel may temporarily
choose to broadcast each different event on a
separate subchannel.

region you are located.

message Auto-tuning will be displayed along

AUTO button again.
CHANNEL OPTIONS

the FM/DIGITAL button repeatedly to toggle

will be selected for playback automatically.
Note: If this is the first time you have used
DAB, before you can select a channel, you need
to build a list of availa ble channels using the
auto-tune function. See CHANNEL
AUTOMATIC TUNING (page 236).
Digital radio channels are organised into
groups called ensembles and some individual
channels may provide a number of
subchannels. You can search for channels,
subchannels or ensembles to find the digital
broadcast you require.

alternative channel and return later to see if the
problem has been resolved. If you are unable to
