Digital audio broadcasting

Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcasting system.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information
■ With DAB, several radio
programmes (services) can be
broadcasted on a single frequency
(ensemble).
Radio
■ Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data
services including travel and traffic
information.
■ As long as a given DAB receiver
can pick up the signal sent out by a
broadcasting station (even if the
signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
■ There is no fading (weakening of
the sound that is typical of AM or
FM reception). The DAB signal is
reproduced at a constant volume.
If the DAB signal is too weak to be
picked up by the receiver, reception
is interrupted completely. This
incident can be avoided by
activating Service linking DAB and/
or Service linking FM in the DAB
option menu (see below).
■ Interference caused by stations
that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not occur
with DAB.
