DAB – unlike normal radio, groups together several radio stations and transmits them on one 

frequency.

Dynamic label segment is a scrolling message that the broadcaster may include with

the bar will be from left to right.

Secondary Service

Secondary services contain extra services that are related to the primary station. E.g. A 

sports station may want to add extra commentaries. The secondary services are inserted 

directly after the primary station in the station list. Services that contain secondary services 

will display at the end of the programme service name. To select the secondary station, 

press the   button on the top of the CD player or on the remote control. When the 

secondary service ends, the radio will automatically switch back to the primary station.
