PLAYBACK ➤ Listening to DAB radio En 42
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) uses digital signals for clearer
sound and more stable reception compared to analog signals. The
unit can also receive DAB+ (an upgraded version of DAB) that
allows for more stations using MPEG-4 audio codec (AAC+), which
has a more efficient transmission method.
• The unit supports Band III (174 to 240 MHz) only.
• 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/.
• For details on the antenna connection, see “Connecting the DAB/FM antenna”
(p.26).
Preparing the DAB tuning
Before tuning into DAB radio stations, follow the procedure below
to perform an initial scan.
1
Press DAB to select the DAB band.
The following message appears on the front panel if you
have not performed an initial scan yet.
2
Press ENTER to start an initial scan.
When the initial scan finishes, the unit automatically tunes
into the first DAB radio station as stored in station order.
• If no DAB radio stations are found by an initial scan, the message in Step 1
appears again. Press ENTER to start an initial scan again.
• You can check reception strength of each DAB channel label (p.45).
• To perform an initial scan again after some DAB radio stations are stored,
select “Init Scan” (p.65) in the “Option” menu. If you perform an initial scan
again, the DAB radio stations currently registered to the preset numbers will
be cleared.
Selecting a DAB radio station for reception
You can select a DAB radio station from the stations stored by the
initial scan.

station.

available.
