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. There is information at www.digitalradio.de or www.digitalradio.ch, for example.
7.1.1 Data compression
By doing so, 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 TUNE/SCAN knob to select the [Full Scan] menu item.
[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 5.3.2).
7.2.2 Selecting the station
To select a DAB+ station, turn the TUNE/SCAN knob and confirm the station selection by pressing the TUNE/SCAN knob.
7.2.3 Storing DAB+ stations on a memory slot

Select a channel (5A to 13F) using the TUNE/SCAN knob. The signal intensity will now be shown on the display. If a DAB+ station is being received on a channel, the station ensemble name is displayed. The antenna can now be aligned to the maximum signal intensity.
Stations with a signal intensity below the required minimum signal intensity (vertical bar) are not transmitting a strong enough signal. If required, align the antenna as described in Section 5.3.2.
7.2.7 Volume adjustment (DRC)
With the Volume Adjustment menu item, the compression rate is set which balances the dynamic variations and thereby the accompanying volume variations.
Press the MENU button and use the TUNE/SCAN knob to select the [Adjust Volume] option.
Use the TUNE/SCAN knob to select the compression rate:
DRC high - High compression
DRC low - Low compression
DRC off - Compression switched off.
Confirm by pressing the TUNE/SCAN knob.
7.2.8 Deleting inactive stations
This menu item is for removing old stations and those no longer being received from the station list.
