of the unit shows all the possible versions ⇒ Fig. 1.
How the Radio mode is activated and operated depends partly on the ver-
sion of the unit.

Selecting the memory level
Fig. 7 Select the frequency band and memory level.
For each frequency band available (for example, FM and AM) there are dif-
ferent memory levels (in Fig. 7: FM1
, FM2 and AM1, AM2).
Each memory level shows six function buttons to store and tune in the radio
stations. These function buttons are called “station buttons”. When you change to Radio mode, the available memory levels are shown
first ⇒ Fig. 7 and then, after 5 seconds, the station buttons of the memory
level selected ⇒ Fig. 8.
Changing the memory level in Radio mode

Storing stations automatically (AUTOSTORE)
The Autostore function automatically stores the stations with the strongest
reception at the current moment to the six station buttons in the currently
selected memory level.
● Select the frequency band and memory level.
● Press the MENU

⇒  Fig. 1 2 unit button to open the additional functions
⇒  Fig. 6.
● Press and hold the AUTOSTORE

TP traffic news station function (Traffic Programme)
Fig. 10 Traffic news monitoring in Media mode.
The TP (Traffic Programme) function is not available for all versions.
When the radio version does not have the traffic news reception function,
no action is taken when the TP
button is pressed (
TP is not displayed in the
upper left of the screen).
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP ⇒ Fig. 9), traffic announce-
ments will interrupt the current Audio mode.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if a traffic news
station is available.
Some stations that do not broadcast their own traffic news support the TP
function through a link to a traffic news station (EON). Traffic announce-
ments broadcast by the linked traffic news station interrupt the current au-
dio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the unit button TP

⇒  Fig. 1 2.
If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the TP
function, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TP
SEEK). While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active,
TP is displayed at
the top left of the screen ⇒ Fig. 9.
● Press the TP
unit button to switch the TP function off again.
Activated TP function and station selection
In FM mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a station
selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the TP
function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,
NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station search using the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 1 ⇒ page 11.
During a station search with the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker switch or the scan func-
tion (SCAN), the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
If you activate the TP function in areas where TP is not available, it will be-
gin to search for traffic news stations but it will not be able find any. The
search will finish on the last station you were listening to. The TP function
remains switched on (display: No TP). We recommend you deactivate the TP
function, otherwise in the next station search with the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker
switch no stations will be found.
In AM mode or Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will always
automatically tune to a traffic news station in the background, provided the
reception of said station is good. This procedure may take some time, de-
pending on the situation. In AM mode or Media mode the currently selected
traffic news station is displayed next to TP ⇒ Fig. 10.
In units with a DAB radio receiver, depending on the settings, the traffic an-
nouncements from a DAB traffic news station can be played ( DAB TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCEMENT ON  ⇒  page 52).
Reception of traffic announcements (INFO)
An incoming traffic announcement (display: TP-INFO) will interrupt the active
Audio mode. 

Audio mode
After selecting the last (or first) DAB station in the current ensemble, the
unit changes to the first (or last) DAB station in the next ensemble.
According to the SEEK MODE system settings, you can only change to the
stored stations ⇒ page 52.
Changing the set of stations
● Briefly press the  ENS / ... 
rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 1
9 to the left or right.
If the location is changed, the list of stations should be updated ( UPDATE)
so that the radio does not search for the groups available in the previous
location in the wrong channel ⇒ page 20.
Changing DAB frequency band channels by hand
● Turn the settings knob ⇒ Fig. 1 8
.
The channel selected is displayed in the centre of the screen. If a DAB group
is broadcast on the channel selected, its name will be displayed at the top
right of the screen and the first DAB station of the group will be played.
Scan function (SCAN) and Autostore
The operating and handling of these additional functions is the same as
that described for FM and AM Radio mode ⇒ page 10.
Note
If the data of a channel has been tuned in cannot be decoded, No Audio will
be displayed after the name of the group. The DAB stations of a group of
this kind cannot be played. Function only available in Europe
Selecting additional DAB stations
Fig. 12 Additional station H in DAB radio mode.
An “additional station” is a subsidiary station of the selected DAB station
and is often only temporarily available (for instance, for broadcasting sports
events).
If there is an additional station available for the current DAB station, 2nd is
displayed at the top left of the screen ⇒ Fig. 11.
● Keep the 

tional station is displayed.
● ALTERNATIVELY: Press the MENU

⇒  Fig. 1 2 unit button and then the
S-AUDIO function button ⇒ Fig. 12.
The main DAB station tuned in is displayed in the centre line of the screen
to the left, with the set additional station next to it.
The number of additional stations available for the main DAB station is dis-
played next to 2nd (in Fig. 12: 1/2 for the first of two additional stations
available).
● Briefly press the 

rocker switch to change to the next addi-
tional station available.
● If no more additional stations are available, the additional station dis-
play is abandoned and the next main DAB station available is tuned in. 

Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage can
render a data medium unusable. Please observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws.
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista ®
ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for
recording. Compatibility with all encoding/recording software, recording de-
vices and recording media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible USB devi-
ces can make noise, interrupt playback or not playback at all. Information
about the best ways to create audio files and data media (compression
rate, ID3 tag etc.) can be found on the Internet.
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium
containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a “normal” audio
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data me-
dium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in
a playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not stored on the
data medium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths). Playing order for audio data CDs
Fig. 14 Example of an MP3 CD structure.
Audio files  on data media are often sorted by folders  and playlists
 to
determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order.
Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the se-
quence on the CD.
The illustration ⇒ Fig. 14 shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks
,
folders  and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in
the following order: Tracks 1
and 2 in the root directory
of the CD (display: ROOT).
Tracks 3 and 4 in the first folder F1 in the root directory of the CD
(display:  01).
