DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) uses digital signals for clearer sound and more stable reception compared to analog signals.

DAB is broadcasted in blocks of data called "ensembles" containing up to several radio stations that are simultaneously broadcasted.

DAB can also include an extensive amount of text information - called DLS (Dynamic Label Segment, see page 10) - which is displayed on the front panel display of the unit, enabling you to select a station by name.

DAB+ is a standard for digital radio broadcasts that uses the MPEG4 HE-AAC v2 audio format and provides higher quality sound than DAB.

YAMAHA T-D500 - Indoor DAB antenna (supplied) - 4

Notes

  • Be sure to check the DAB coverage in your area in that not all areas are currently being covered. For a list of nationwide DAB statuses and worldwide DAB frequencies, check WorldDMB online at http://www.worlddab.org/.
  • The sound quality and station information are controlled by the DAB broadcaster, not this unit. Not all DAB broadcasters transmit station information.
  • DAB signals are broadcast in Band III (174 - 240 MHz) and L Band (1452 - 1492 MHz).
