PRELIMINARIES

INTRODUCTION

DAB  (Digital  Audio  Broadcasting)  technology  allows  many
more radio stations compared to FM. DAB transmissions do
away with problems of hiss and fade that plague AM and
FM broadcasts and are less likely to be affected by adverse
weather  conditions  or  other  sources  of  interference.  In
addition to speech and music DAB transmissions carry high
levels of data - far greater than the limited RDS information
available on FM stations.
Unlike  FM,  DAB  is  broadcast  on  many  frequencies.  Many
countries in Europe, including the UK use Band III (174-240
MHz);  others,  France  for  example,  use  the  L-Band  (1452-
1492 MHz). Germany uses both bands.
Your  radio  can  tune  Band  III.  Countries  in  Europe  that  use
Band III include: Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Norway,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. Your radio will tune
stations in all these countries.
Your  radio  cannot  receive  French  or  German  stations
broadcasting in the L-Band though FM services are available
all over Europe.
Being digital, DAB transmissions can have a wider frequency
range  and  greater  dynamics  than  that  available  with  FM
technology.
FM reception is available on the DR11202B for use in those
locations where there is no usable DAB service.
A headphone output is provided for personal listening.

DAB SCANNING

When first used, your radio scanned the DAB band for
available stations. The station services found were then
stored in your radio’s memory.
You can re-scan the band at any time if you move to a different
area or just to refresh the stored list of available stations.
NOTE: On some occasions, when moving to a different area,
re-scanning may not fully update the station list. In this case
it may be necessary to reset your radio (see the ‘System reset’
option on page 9).

To start a scan:

Select the DAB band.

•

Press the

•

SCAN

button.

The scanning process will take a few minutes.

Multiplex name

When a station multiplex is found, the multiplex name will
be displayed.
After the scan, the number of services found during the
scan will be shown briefly, then the radio will re-tune to the
last station playing if it is available. Alternatively, you can
continue to browse for another station as described on the
previous page.

Multiplex that is currently tuned.
DATE: Shows the current date. The date is updated by

AUDIO BIT RATE: DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE
(or the amount by which an audio signal can be compressed)
depending on the type of broadcast. This enables the amount
of stations on a multiplex to be maximised. Speech and News
are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher
Bit Rate for good fidelity.

signal being received.
In low signal areas, adjusting the aerial to increase the signal
strength indication will improve reception quality.
