DAB tuning information

To listen to DAB radio, you need to tune to the correct frequency to receive the service you want, just as you do with AM or FM. However, as the frequencies allocated to DAB are not particularly easy to remember, they have been allocated a code, known as a frequency block.

Below is a list of the 大象传媒 radio services on DAB and the frequency block they are broadcast on.听 To see what DAB services you can receive at your location, use our Transmitter Checker tool.

大象传媒 Local DAB听听

大象传媒 Local and Nations radio services on DAB digital radio are transmitted by commercial broadcasting operators.听In some areas there is not yet a local DAB service on air, so not every 大象传媒 station is currently available on this platform.

Some older radios may require a 鈥渇ull scan鈥 to pick up stations in blocks 10A, 10B, 10C and 10D. There are a few different ways to perform a full scan, this depends on the radio model.听

Press听"Menu"听> Select听"Scan Type"听> Select听"Full Scan"听(not "Local Scan")听

Press and hold the button labelled听"Auto-Tune"听or听"Scan"听to start a full scan (a short press starts a "Fast Scan").

It may be necessary on occasion to perform a factory reset if the channels are not found after a full scan.听

Resetting your DAB Radio removes all presets, stored stations and favourite stations and alarm/timer settings and resets all options to defaults. To reset:

1. Press and hold the Menu button for three seconds. The screen shows 鈥楧o you want to reset?鈥.

2. Select OK to reset or cancel to exit without resetting.听听听听听听听听听听听听听听听
