About DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
DAB is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can
deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal
distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text, pictures and data.
In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own
frequency, DAB combines several programs (called "services") to form one
"ensemble".
The "primary component" (main radio station) is sometimes accompanied
by a "secondary component" which can contain extra programs or other
information.
• "DGTL" indicator lights up when receiving DAB digital signal and flashes
when receiving a RDS signal.
• The unit switches to DAB alarm automatically when receiving an alarm
signal from DAB broadcast.
