Listening to DAB radio (Australia, U.K.,
Europe and Russia models only)
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) uses digital signals for clearer sound
and more stable reception compared to analog signals. The unit can also
receive DAB+ (an upgraded version of DAB) that allows for more stations
using MPEG-4 audio codec (AAC+), which has a more efficient
transmission method.
Y
• The unit supports Band III (174 to 240 MHz) only.
• Be sure to check the DAB coverage in your area in that not all areas are currently being
covered. For a list of nationwide DAB statuses and worldwide DAB frequencies, check
WorldDMB online at http://www.worlddab.org/.

For details on the antenna connection, see “Connecting the radio antennas” (p.38).
