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

*

. 

Each DAB multiplex radio station converts 
programmes (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 
programme 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 programmes (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 programmes are broadcast in Band-III (174 

to 240 MHz) and/or L-Band (1,452 to 1,491 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 30.

• This tuner supports Band-III and L-Band.
• This tuner does not support data services.
• This tuner does not support reception in countries 

outside of Europe.
