PRELIMINARIES INTRODUCTION

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 aected 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 (1452­1492 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 ser vices 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 DCR1401 for use in those
locations where there is no usable DAB service.
