OPERATIONS DAB TUNING Preparing the DAB tuning Before tuning into DAB stations, you must perform the automatic scanning. The scanning starts automatically when you select DAB as the input source for the first time. AUTO SCAN OPERATIONS DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) uses digital signals for clearer sound and more stable reception compared to analog signals. DAB is broadcasted in blocks of data called “ensembles” containing up to several radio stations that are simultaneously broadcasted.
DAB TUNING ■ Using the automatic scanning function Use the automatic scanning function to scan the DAB station again. Autoscan Full (Full range scanning) This unit scans the entire range of Band III and L Band (see page 10). Press and hold AUTO SCAN for more than 2 seconds. This unit starts the full range scanning. “Autoscan Full” is displayed on the front panel display. Once this unit has finished scanning, this unit is tuned into the first DAB station in the registry list.
