Sony CMT-NEZ7DAB User Manual

This manual mainly explains operations using 
the remote, but the same operations can also be 
performed using the buttons on the unit having 
the same or similar names.

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a new 
multimedia broadcasting system that replaces 
the current FM/AM broadcast to transmit audio 
programs with a quality comparable to that of 
CDs

*

. 

Each DAB multiplex radio station converts 
programs (services) into an ensemble, which it 
then broadcasts. Each service contains one or 
more components. All services and components 
are identified by name, so you can access any of 
them without having to know their frequencies.
Furthermore, additional information (called 
program associated data) can be broadcast along 
with the services in the form of text.

– CD sound quality without any hiss or crackle to 

spoil the sound

*

– both music and data services from a single tuner 

(this tuner does not support data services)

– the same radio stations of the same frequency from 

anywhere in the country

– multiple programs (services) from a single 

frequency

* Some service components may not match CD quality 

sound.

• The status of the DAB broadcast depends on your 

country or region. It may not be broadcasted or may 
be in test phase.

• DAB programs are broadcast in Band-III (174 to 240 

MHz) and/or L-Band (1452 to 1491 MHz), with each 
band divided into channels. Each of these channels 
has its own channel label. For details on the channel 
labels and frequencies that this tuner supports, see 
the Frequency Table on page 31.

• This tuner does not support data services.
