Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcasting system.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information ● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcasted on a single
frequency (ensemble).
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated data and a multitude of other data services including travel andtraffic information.● As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● There is no fading (weakening of
the sound that is typical of AM or
FM reception). The DAB signal is reproduced at a constant volume.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver,
reception is interrupted
completely. This incident can be
avoided by activating Service
linking DAB and/or Service
linking FM in the DAB option
menu (see below).
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM and FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB isimproved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable
FM stations. If TP 3 24 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station which is
currently best receivable are
issued. Deactivate TP, if DAB
reception should not be
interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.

Service linking DAB
If this function is activated, the device switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (frequency, if available)
when the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver.
Set Service linking DAB to On or Off.
Service linking FM
If this function is activated, the device
switches over to a corresponding FM
station of the active DAB service (if
available) when the DAB signal is too weak to be picked up by the receiver.
Set Service linking FM to On or Off.
Dynamic range compression
If this function is activated, the
dynamic range of the DAB signal is
reduced. That means that the level of loud sounds is reduced and the level
of quiet sounds is increased.
Therefore the volume of the
Infotainment system can be raised to
a point where the quiet sounds are audible, without the loud soundsbeing too loud.
Set Dynamic range ctrl to On or Off.
Selecting a frequency band
With this function, you may define
which DAB wavebands are to be
received by the Infotainment system.
