OPEL ASTRA J 2017 Infotainment system

Radio101The traffic announcement is aborted,
but the radio traffic service remains
switched on.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks)
With EON you can listen to radio
traffic announcements even if the
station you have set does not
broadcast its own radio traffic service.
If such a station is set, it is displayed
in black as for radio traffic service
stations TP.
Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcast system.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information
● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcast 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 Auto
ensemble linking and/or Auto
linking DAB-FM in the DAB
settings menu.
● 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 is
improved, 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 99 is

102Radioactivated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TP if you do not wish DAB
reception to be interrupted by FM traffic announcements.
Configuring DAB
Press CONFIG .
Select Radio settings and then DAB
settings .
The following options are available in
the configuration menu:
● Auto ensemble linking : with this
function 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.
● Auto linking DAB-FM : with this
function 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.
● Dynamic audio adaption : with
this function activated, the dynamic range of the DAB signal is reduced. That means the level
of the loud sounds is reduced, but
not the level of the quiet sounds.
Therefore the volume of the
Infotainment system can be
raised to a point where the quiet
sounds are audible, without the
loud sounds being too loud.
● Frequency band : after selection
of this option it can be defined
which DAB wavebands are to be
received by the Infotainment
system.

● Audio CDs with copy protection, which are not in compliance withthe audio CD standard, may not
play correctly or not at all.
● Self-recorded CD-Rs and CD- RWs are more vulnerable to
mishandling than prerecorded
CDs. Correct handling,
especially in the case of self-
recorded CD-Rs and CD-RWs,
must be ensured. See below.
● Self-recorded CD-Rs and CD- RWs may not play correctly or not
at all. In such cases it is not the

e.g. MP3, are stored), the audio
tracks part and the compressed
files part can be played
separately.
● Avoid leaving fingerprints when you change CDs.
● Put CDs back in their sleeves immediately after removing themfrom the CD player in order to
protect them from damage and
dirt.
● Dirt and liquids on CDs can smear the lens of the CD player
inside the device and cause
faults.
