Digital audio broadcasting Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcast system.DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.General information ■ With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcast on a single frequency (ensemble).
■ As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out by a
broadcasting station (even if the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
■ There is no fading (weakening of the sound) that is typical of AM or
FM reception. The DAB signal is
reproduced at a constant volume.
■ If the DAB signal is too weak to be picked up by the receiver, receptionis interrupted completely. This can
be avoided by activating DAB AF
and/or DAB FM in the audio
settings menu.
■ Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not occur
with DAB.
Page 147 of 177

Radio147
■ If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings, the
reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably impaired
in such cases.
■ The radio is also capable of reveicing DAB+ and DMB-Audio.
