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 the two bands are referred
to as “channels” and each has a channel
name (e.g. 12 A ).
Several available DAB stations are combined
into one channel in an “ensemble”.
DAB is not currently available in all areas . In
DAB Radio mode, it will show when you are in
an area with no DAB service . Starting DAB radio mode

t
o FM
In
DAB setup/Advanced settings you
can change to the FM frequency band for au-
tomatic station 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.
Once the corresponding FM station has been
found, (FM) is displayed after the station
name. When reception for the corresponding
DAB station returns, the unit will switch back
to DAB mode after a short time. The (FM)
display is hidden.
If the reception of the selected DAB station is
too weak and the station can no longer be
found on the FM frequency band, the radio
will be muted. Note
The radio stations are responsible for the
c ont
ent broadcast. 13
