You can listen to the Digital Audio Broadcast-
ing using this product. This section describes
operations for Digital Audio Broadcasting.
For improved DAB reception, ensure a DAB
aerial with phantom power input (active type)
is used. Pioneer recommends using “AN-
DAB1” or “CA-AN-DAB.001” (active aerial sold
separately). Current consumption of DAB aer-
ial should be 100 mA or less.
Digital Radio (DAB) features the following:
! High sound quality (nearly as high as for
CDs, although it may be reduced in some
cases in order to allow more services to be
broadcast)
! Interference-free reception
Some individual services in an ensemble may
be further subdivided into Service Compo-
nents. The main Service Component is called
the Primary Service Component, and all auxili-
ary Service Components are called Secondary
Ser vice Components.
