Listening to the DAB+
Digital Audio Broadcasting is a digital transmission system
where audio signals are converted to digital signals for
broadcasting. DAB+ is broadcast as a group of data called
multiplex (ensemble) which may contain one or more
stations (services). Each station contains a primary
service and there may be one or more secondary
services. This allows several programmes or services to
be transmitted on a single frequency.
When turned on for the first time, the unit scans radio
stations automatically to create a station list. You can
make the Auto Scan again when you move the unit to
other areas or add multiplex channels to the station list.
