Abstract (en)

A DAB receiver (1) includes a DAB front/end unit (4), a DAB decoder (6), two audio decoders (8, 10), two D/A converters (12, 14), a recorder (22), a controller (34), an operation unit (38), and a display unit (40). When the voice of a service of DAB is formed and output by one audio decoder (8), and a broadcast of a predetermined announcement included in the same ensemble as that of the service is started, the voice of the announcement is formed by using the other audio decoder (10). As described above, two voices can be output, and the voice of the announcement is recorded on the recorder (22) or output while overlapping the voice of the service. <IMAGE>
