When the DAB band is selected for the first 
time after replacing the car battery or 
changing the connections, the initial scan 
starts automatically. Allow the initial scan to 
finish. (If interrupted, the initial scan will 
start again the next time you select the DAB 
band.) If no DAB station is stored by the 
initial scan, perform an auto scan (page 9).
Tip
Set “ANT-PWR” to “ON” (default) or “OFF” 
depending on the type of DAB antenna (aerial) 
(page 21).
DAB
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is a 
transmission system on terrestrial networks. 
DAB stations bundle radio programs 
(“services”) into an ensemble, and each 
service contains one or more components. 
The same service can sometimes be received 
on different frequencies.
