IMPORTANT – DAB Recording

this could constitute music piracy.
WHAT IS DAB?
DAB is the latest digital technology which gives you crystal clear sound, and
easy tuning. You don't need to search for channels across a waveband: the
autoscan function creates a list of all the radio channels in your location from
which you can chose your favourites.
DAB has extra stations not available on other wavebands, and displays
scrolling text which may give news, contact details or song lyrics and titles.
With DAB, Services are bundled into groups, called Ensembles or
Multiplexes. Some Radio stations may have additional secondary services
which appear for special programmes or events - for example sports pro-
grams.
