The Essentials of DAB digital radio

  Keen to understand what the advantages of this new technology are? Let us take the mystery out of DAB digital radio by summing up the key benefits.

Sony   No hiss and crackle
Digital radio is broadcast using a clever technology which reduces the likelihood of interference. This puts an end to constant hiss, crackle and fade. Listeners inside the coverage area enjoy strong, clear sound from their digital radio, usually with much less fiddling about to get the aerial position just right.

Spoilt for choice
Alongside analogue favourites, DAB digital radio brings you a wide choice of brand new stations. Whether you're looking for nonstop rock, spoken word entertainment, or relaxed, melodic music, you're sure to find something that suits you.

Sony   Tuning without numbers
Radio frequencies are all very well, but it's far easier to simply remember a station's name. With DAB digital radio, that's all you need to do. Digital radios let you select the station by name, making it quick and easy to tune in whatever you want to listen to. They also lock on to each station, meaning that there's no need to adjust the tuning dial to find the right spot.

Stay tuned
Listening to national stations in the car on an analogue radio can mean that the radio constantly retunes to the best frequency. This doesn't happen with digital radio, where all national stations are broadcast on one single frequency: giving you the freedom to listen without interruption, anywhere within the coverage area.

Sony   Read all about it
Stations broadcast extra information to the radio's display screen. This means that whilst listening to one thing, you can read about another. Whether you're looking for the name of the presenter, news or sports headlines, or details about the song, it can all appear right in front of your eyes.
