LISTENING TO DAB STATIONS (U.K. and Australia models)

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) uses digital signals for
clearer sound and more stable reception compared to
analog signals.
This unit can also receive DAB+ (an upgraded version of
DAB) that allows stations using MPEG-4 HE-AAC v2
audio codec, which has a more efficient transmission
method and provides higher sound than DAB.

Preparing the DAB tuning

Before tuning into DAB stations, an initial scan must be
performed. The initial scan starts automatically when you
select DAB as the input source for the first time.
Press repeatedly to select
the DAB mode.
y
You can also perform the initial scan manually by INIT SCAN
(☞ P. 17, 19).
While the scan is in progress, "Scanning" and the
percentage of the progress of scan appear on the front
panel display.
When scanning is complete, the number of receivable
DAB stations appears on the front panel display for a
while, then the unit airs the first station as stored in station
order.
Note
This unit can receive Band III (174 - 240 MHz) only.
