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 enjoyed. Unlike with conventional analogue radio transmitters, with DAB multiple stations are transmitted 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 also 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 audio information in a piece of music that is below the so-called listening threshold can be filtered out of the transmitted signal. 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

In the case of digital radio, audio streams are continuous data streams that 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 could relate to the channel currently being broadcast (DLS e.g. track, artist) or could be independent of this (e.g. news, weather, traffic, tips).

7.2 DAB (digital radio) reception

Press the MODE button and select DAB Mode. Digital Radio appears on the display.

7.2.1 Performing the station scan

The automatic scan (Full Scan) scans all DAB Band III stations and thereby finds all stations being broadcast within the reception range.

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 holding down the MENU button and use the <,> and SELECT buttons to select the [Auto Scan] menu item.

[Scanning...] appears on the display.

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

If no stations are found, check the antenna and change the installation location if necessary (Point 5.3.2).

7.2.2 Selecting stations
