DAB broadcast reception
Receiving DAB broadcast means selecting one
service among the multiplex radio programmes into
an ensemble, not receiving one frequency such as the
current FM/MW broadcasts.
To receive a DAB broadcast in this unit, it is
necessary to scan using the DAB search function and
to find the available ensemble in advance.
Any broadcast found during the DAB search are
stored in the unit.
When tuning the unit to the DAB broadcast, it
receives the signal according to the stored information
list.
–What is RDS?
Introduced by the European Broadcasting Union
(EBU) in 1987, the Radio Data System (RDS) allows
information such as station name, etc., to be received
via the 57kHz sub-carrier signal of FM broadcasts.

SLEEP
However, the availability of the RDS data varies
according to area. It therefore may not always be
possible to receive the RDS information.
