7 DAB+ (digital radio) function

7.1 What is DAB+?

DAB+ is a new digital format through which crystal clear sound with no noise can be heard. In contrast to conventional analogue radio stations, DAB+ can be used to broadcast multiple stations on one and the same frequency. This is referred to as an ensemble or multiplex. An ensemble is comprised of the radio station, as well as several service components or data services, which are broadcast individually by the radio stations. For further information go to www.dabplus.de or www.dabplus.ch.

7.1.1 Data compression

With this, digital radio takes advantage of the properties of human hearing. The human ear does not perceive sounds which are found under a specific minimum volume. Data which are found under the so-called audibility threshold can, therefore, be filtered out. This is possible because, in a digital data stream, the relevant relative volume for other units is saved for every unit of information. Moreover, in an audio signal, the quieter parts are superimposed by louder ones at a specific limit value. All the sound information below the threshold of hearing in a piece of music can be filtered out of the signal to be broadcast. This leads to a reduction of data in the data stream to be transmitted, with no perceptible difference in sound for the listener (HE AAC v2 process as a supplementary codification process for DAB+).

7.1.2 Audio stream

With digital radio, audio streams are continuous data streams which contain the MPEG 1 audio layer 2 frames and thereby represent acoustic information. This enables standard radio channels to be broadcast and listened to on the receiver side. Digital radio provides you not only with excellent sound quality radio but also additional information. This may refer to the programme being broadcast or be independent information (e.g. news, weather, traffic, tips).

7.2 DAB+ (digital radio) reception

Press the MODE button until [DAB] is shown on the display.

If DAB+ is being started for the first time, a complete scan will be performed. After the scan is complete, the first station is played back in alphanumeric order.

7.2.1 Performing a complete scan

The automatic scan (Complete scan) scans all DAB+ band III channels and thereby finds all stations being broadcast within the reception area.

After the scan is complete, the first station is played back in alphanumeric order.

In order to perform a complete scan, open the menu by pressing the MENU button and use the <,> and OK buttons to select the menu item [Complete Scan].

[Scanning...] appears on the display.

During the scan a progress bar and the number of stations found is displayed.

If no station is detected, check the telescopic antenna and, if required, change the installation location (Section 5.3.3 / 3.2.1).

7.2.2 Selecting stations

By pressing the buttons, the station list can be called up and you can switch between the available stations.
