Digital Radio (DAB) (Only for DDX4018DAB) DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of the digital radio broadcasting systems available today. It can deliver digital quality sound without any annoying interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it can carry text and data. In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines several programs (called "services") to form one "ensemble." The "Primary component" (main radio station) is sometimes accompanied by a "secondary component" which can contain extra programs or other information.

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of the digital
radio broadcasting systems available today. It can
deliver digital quality sound without any annoying
interference or signal distortion. Furthermore, it can
carry text and data.
In contrast to FM broadcast, where each program
is transmitted on its own frequency, DAB combines
several programs (called “services”) to form one
“ensemble.”
The “Primary component” (main radio station) is
sometimes accompanied by a “secondary component”
which can contain extra programs or other
information.
