7 DAB+ (digital radio) function
7.1 What are DAB+ and DAB+ Cable?
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, please visit e.g. www.dabplus.de or www.dabplus.ch.
Furthermore, the DIGITRADIO 4 C can also receive DAB+ stations via the cable connection. More and more cable network providers are feeding DAB+ stations into their cable network. Ask your cable network provider whether DAB+ stations can already be received at your location. To receive DAB+ cable stations, connect the antenna connection of the DIGITRADIO 4 C to your cable connection socket and perform a station search.
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 under a specific minimum volume. Data under the so-called audibility threshold can, therefore, be filtered out. This is possible since, within a digital data stream, the relevant relative volume for other units is saved for every unit of information. Moreover, at a specific threshold, the quieter parts within an audio signal are blocked out by the louder parts. 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 with not only radio in excellent sound quality 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 station scan is performed. After the scan is complete, the first station is played back in alphanumeric order.
7.2.1 Performing a full 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, press the SCAN button on the remote control.
Alternatively:
Open the MENU > [Scan settings] > [Full scan] and press the OK button.
[Scanning...] appears on the display.
During the scan, a progress bar and the number of stations found are displayed.
If no station is detected, check the telescopic antenna and, if required, change the installation location (Section 5.3.1/3.2.1).
7.2.2 Selecting the station
By pressing the P+ or P- buttons, the station list can be called up and you can switch between the available stations.
Depending on the setting under MENU > [Scan settings] > [Change Channel], the OK button must then be pressed to play the selected channel (option: Channel Change > List) or the channel is played automatically (Option: Channel change > Channel).
7.2.3 Saving DAB+ stations to a memory slot
i The programme memory can save up to 20 stations in the DAB+ range.
First select the desired station (see section 7.2.2).
