GENERAL INFORMATION
Digital radio reception
DAB radio is very different from normal AM/FM
radio in both operation and sound quality. The
DAB network is designed to provide near CD
quality from radio broadcasts. In most
locations DAB signals are available without
hiss, crackle, pop or interference, and no
fading or overlap.
DAB radio can significantly increase the
number of radio channe ls/stations available.
The DAB signals are transmitted to most major
cities, towns and motorway networks.
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 transm
itted from regional
transmitters. Some local channels are not
available outside th e range of their
transmitters. If you want to listen to local
channels as you move around the country, use
the auto-tune function (AUTO) to build new
channel lists. For more information on the
auto-tune function. See CHANNEL
AUTOMATIC TUNING (page 284).
Note: If any auxiliary electrical equipment is
connected to the vehicle, then this may reduce
the DAB radio sound quality.
