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 best receivableFM stations. 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.

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

Advantages of RDS● On the display, the programme

name of the set 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. informationabout the current programme.

Digital audio broadcastingDigital audio broadcasting (DAB) isan innovative and universalbroadcast system.DAB stations are indicated by theprogramme name instead of thebroadcasting frequency.

General information● With DAB, several radio

programmes (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.

● There is no fading (weakening ofthe sound that is typical of AM orFM reception). The DAB signal isreproduced at a constant volume.

● If the DAB signal is too weak tobe picked up by the receiver,reception is interruptedcompletely. This incident can beavoided by activating Autoensemble linking and/or Autolinking DAB-FM in the DABsettings menu.

● 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 best receivableFM stations. If TP 3 64 isactivated, traffic announcementsof the FM station with thestrongest signal are issued.Deactivate TP if DAB receptionshould not be interrupted by FMtraffic announcements.

Configuring DABPress CONFIG.Select Radio settings and then DABsettings.

Auto linking DAB-FMWith this function activated, thedevice switches over to acorresponding FM station of theactive DAB service when the DABsignal is too weak to be picked up bythe receiver.Set the function to On or Off.

Dynamic audio adaptionWith this function activated, thedynamic range of the DAB signal isreduced. That means the level of theloud sounds is reduced and the levelof the quiet sounds is increased.Therefore, the volume of theInfotainment system can be raised toa point where the quiet sounds areaudible, without the loud soundsbeing too loud.Set the function to On or Off.
