Digital audio broadcasting
DAB broadcasts radio stations
digitally.DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information ● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcast on a single 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 and
traffic 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.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
● 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 Autoensemble 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 90 is
activated, 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 .

Radio93Select 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 (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 beraised 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.
