RQTT0867

DAB stands for digital audio broadcasting. It is a new form of radio that is
broadcast digitally. Digital audio provides a superior quality of sound
compared to regular analogue broadcasting.

There are two types of DAB bands, “BAND III” (Receivable on this unit) and
“L BAND” (Not broadcast in the UK, and not receivable on this unit).

There are 41 frequencies on BAND III. Among those frequencies, 7 are
used in the UK (current as of November, 2005).

The number of stations that make up one frequency differ between DAB
and analogue radio. Analogue stations all broadcast on different
frequencies, even if it is the same company doing the broadcasting. With
DAB however, it is possible to broadcast a number of stations on the same
frequency.
In DAB terminology, a group of stations on the same frequency is called an
ensemble.

Depending on the region there is a difference between broadcast
frequency and stations broadcast along the same frequency. For
this reason, a memory of receivable stations should first be created
and then selected from those memorized stations.
DAB Auto Scan

This function searches for currently receivable stations and inputs them into
unit memory.
When DAB is selected for the first time, this function starts automatically.

Station names are updated automatically when a station name that was
stored in memory before the update was selected. However preset
registered station names are not changed, therefore you need to perform
presetting again.

When a new station name is found on the frequency currently being
broadcast, it is automatically added to the list of station names created
with Auto scan.

As shown in the above diagram, an ensemble consists of a group of
stations which have primary services, they can also have secondary
services. This means, for example, that commentary on sports events from
different areas can all be broadcast at once.

Even if the station is stored into memory, some stations may not broadcast
depending on the time of day etc. If this occurs, “NO SERVICE” is
displayed.

• Deleting stations that are no longer broadcasting is not automatic. If you want

to delete a station, perform Auto scan again and the new memory is created.

• When a new frequency begins broadcasting, stations on that new

frequency are not automatically added to memory. Perform Auto scan to
add them to memory. Also, you may need to change the Auto scan range if
the new frequency is outside the factory set Auto scan range (→ Page 5).

FM radio stations can be tuned manually by selecting the
station's frequency.

The unit scans for a station automatically.

Auto tuning may not function when there is excessive
interference.
