Standard representation: Main DAB RA-
DIO menu. The DAB radio receiver is compatible with the
standards DAB, DAB+ and DMB audio.
In Europe, digital radio broadcasts on fre-
quencies from band frequency III (174 MHz
to 240 MHz) and band frequency L
(1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called
“
channels
”, and are abbreviated accordingly
(f
or example, 12 A). Several DAB stations are combined in one
channel with the additional services availa-
ble in a “block”.
D

AB is not currently available in all areas . In
DAB Radio mode, it will show when you are in
an area with no DAB service .
Enabling DAB radio mode
In the
RADIO main menu, press the function
key ››› Fig. 9 BAND and select
DAB .
The list of stations will be updated and the
last DAB station selected will be played, pro-
vided it can be received in the current loca-
tion.
The station selected at that time is shown on
the top line of the screen. The block selected
is shown underneath it ››› Fig. 9 .
Ad dition

al DAB stations
Some DAB stations temporarily or perma-
nently offer additional programmes , (for ex-
ample, for broadcasting sports events). Addi-
tional stations are selected in the same way
as the conventional DAB stations. The DAB
main menu shows the name of the additional
station set under the name of the main DAB
station. The additional stations cannot be
stored. Automatic station tracking: change from DAB
to FM
In DAB setup/Advanced setup you can change
to the FM fr

equency band for automatic sta-
tion tracking.
When the DAB station you are listening to
can no longer be received (for example, due
to DAB no longer being available), the unit
will try to locate and tune in this station in
the FM band frequency.
For station tracking across various frequen-
cies, the DAB station and the FM station must
broadcast the same station code, or the sta-
tion in FM that corresponds to the equivalent
in DAB, must be indicated through the DAB.
When a corresponding FM station is found, it
will show FM after the station name. When its
DAB equivalent can be received again, it will
change to DAB mode after a certain time. The
FM indication will disappear.
When the signal of a DAB station is very weak
and its FM equivalent cannot be found, the
radio will be muted.
