General information● With DAB, several radio

programmes (services) can bebroadcasted on a singleensemble.

● Besides high-quality digital audioservices, DAB is also able totransmit programme-associated

data and a multitude of other dataservices including travel andtraffic information.

● As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even ifthe signal is very weak), soundreproduction is ensured.

● In the event of poor reception, thevolume is reduced automaticallyto avoid the output ofdisagreeable noises.If the DAB signal is too weak tobe picked up by the receiver,reception is interruptedcompletely. This incident can beavoided by activating DAB-DABLinking and/or DAB-FM Linkingin the DAB menu (see below).

● Interference caused by stationsthat are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does notoccur with DAB.

● If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings,the reception quality of DAB is

improved, whereas AM or FMreception is considerablyimpaired in such cases.

● When DAB reception is enabled,the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in thebackground and continuallysearches for the FM stations withthe best reception. If TP 3 23 isactivated, traffic announcementsof the FM station with the bestreception are issued. DeactivateTP if DAB reception should notbe interrupted by FM trafficannouncements.

62 Radio

Radio data system (RDS)RDS is a service of FM stations thatconsiderably improves the finding ofthe desired station and its fault-freereception.

Advantages of RDS● On the display, the programme

name of the station appearsinstead of its frequency.

● During a station search theInfotainment system tunes in toRDS stations only.

● The Infotainment system alwaystunes into the best receivablebroadcasting frequency of the setstation by means of AF(alternative frequency).

● Depending on the station that isreceived, the Infotainmentsystem displays radio text thatcan contain e.g. information onthe current programme.

RDS settingsTo configure the RDS settingsoptions, activate the radio functionand then select the FM waveband.Press MENU to display the FMwaveband menu.

RDSSet RDS to On or Off.NoteIf RDS is set to Off, RDS functionsare not available.

Traffic ProgrammeRadio traffic service stations are RDSstations that broadcast traffic news. Ifthe traffic service is switched on, thecurrently active function is interruptedfor the duration of the trafficannouncement.Activate or deactivate Traffic Program(TP).If the radio traffic service is activated,[TP] is shown in the top line of all mainmenus. If the current station or mediaplayed is not a radio traffic servicestation, [ ] is displayed and a searchis started automatically for the nextradio traffic service station. As soon

as a radio traffic service station isfound, [TP] is highlighted. If no radiotraffic service station is found, [ ]remains on the screen.If a traffic announcement isbroadcasted on the respective radiotraffic service station, a message isdisplayed.To interrupt the announcement andreturn to the function previouslyactivated, dismiss the alert.

RegionSometimes RDS stations broadcastregionally different programmes ondifferent frequencies.Set Region to On or Off.If regionalisation is switched on,alternative frequencies with the sameregional programmes are selectedwhere necessary.If regionalisation is switched off,alternative frequencies of the stationsare selected without regard toregional programmes.

Radio 63

Digital audio broadcastingDAB broadcasts radio stationsdigitally.

Advantages of DAB● DAB stations are indicated by the

programme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.

● With DAB, several radioprogrammes (services) can bebroadcasted on a singlefrequency (ensemble).

● Besides high-quality digital audioservices, DAB is also able totransmit programme-associateddata and a multitude of other dataservices including travel andtraffic information.

● As long as a given DAB receivercan pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even ifthe signal is very weak), soundreproduction is ensured.

● In the event of poor reception, thevolume is reduced automaticallyto avoid the output ofdisagreeable noises.

If the DAB signal is too weak tobe picked up by the receiver,reception is interruptedcompletely. This can be avoidedby activating DAB to DABLinking and/or DAB to FMLinking in the DAB option menu(see below).

● Interference caused by stationsthat are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand FM reception) does notoccur with DAB.

● If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings,the reception quality of DAB isimproved, whereas AM or FMreception is considerablyimpaired in such cases.

● When DAB reception is enabled,the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in thebackground and continuallysearches for the FM stations withthe best reception. If TP 3 62 isactivated, traffic announcementsof the FM station with the bestreception are issued. Deactivate

TP if DAB reception should notbe interrupted by FM trafficannouncements.

DAB settingsTo configure the DAB settingsoptions, activate the radio functionand then select the DAB waveband.Press MENU to display the DABwaveband menu.

DAB AnnouncementsBesides their music programmes, alot of DAB stations also broadcastannouncements of variouscategories. If you activate some or allcategories, the currently receivedDAB service is interrupted when anannouncement of these categories ismade.Select DAB Announcements todisplay the DAB categories list.Select the desired categories. Theselected categories are marked with9.NoteDAB announcements can only bereceived if the DAB waveband isactivated.
