The model variant RX-D485 also has a DAB + tuner for digital radio reception on board, as Yamaha built it into the Aventage top models.

A new marketing campaign to promote DAB+ in Germany will run from 2 to 11 May. The campaign will be jointly promoted between Digitalradio Deutschland, ARD, Deutschlandradio and its members.

The Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM) has tendered a mandate for a four-year information campaign on DAB+ from 2019, to enable smooth transition from FM to DAB+.

ARD, Deutschlandradio, private providers and other members of Digitalradio Deutschland will begin a marketing campaign promoting DAB+ from 2 to 11 May with the slogan "DAB+, because that's the way radio goes today."

GatesAir is getting ready to send its final shipments of transmitters to Norway, bringing the total of its transmitters deployed to 1218 in support of Norway's transition to DAB. GatesAir says it has been involved in Norway’s DAB digital radio activity since the nation’s first tests in 1994.

The model variant RX-D485 also has a DAB+ tuner for digital radio reception on board.

This accessory, in addition to allowing you to listen to FM radio stations, supports the DAB standard, which means that it receives and decodes this type of signal and offers in areas covered in Italy (for radios that already support it from now) very high quality broadcasts, with sound comparable to that of CDs or digital players.

The range of DAB stations is endless. There’s 40 presets available – 20 for FM and another 20 for DAB.

ARD, Deutschlandradio, private providers and other members of the association Digitalradio Deutschland will be promoting DAB+ together within the framework of an action period from 2 May to 11 May. Among the cross-media measures include TV and radio spots, print and online motifs and program notes. The radio spots put a focus on the digital reception under the slogan "DAB+, because that's how radio goes today".

Sessions scheduled to take place during the event will focus on digital and key markets, the user experience, the connected car, the dashboard, technical aspects, the aftermarket, as well as the role of dealerships.
