or
e using the unit for the first time Before using the unit for the first time, carry
out the f
o

llowing steps. This will enable you
to use the unit safely and make full use of
the functions it provides:
 Take the b

 Use suitable data media for media mode
››› page 18. Safety notes
WARNING
Any distraction may lead to an accident, with
the risk of

injury. Operating the radio system
could distract you from the traffic.
● Always stay alert and drive responsibly.
● Select volume settings that allow you to
eas
ily hear signals from outside the vehicle
at all times (e.g. emergency service sirens).
● Setting the volume too high may cause
damag
e to your hearing. This also applies if
the device is set to high volumes for a short
period. WARNING
The volume level may suddenly change when
you sw it

ch audio source or connect a new au-
dio source.
● Reduce the base volume before switching
audio source or c
onnecting a new audio
source. WARNING
The connection, introduction or removal of
dat a medi

a whilst driving may distract you
from the traffic, causing an accident. WARNING
Connecting leads for external devices may
ob s

truct the driver.
● Arrange the connecting leads so that they
do not ob
struct the driver. WARNING
External devices that are placed loose in the
vehic l

e or not properly secured could be flung
through the interior of the vehicle during a
sudden driving or braking manoeuvre, or in
the event of an accident and cause damage or
injury.
● Never fit external units on the doors, wind-
scr
een, on or near the area marked with the
word “AIRBAG” on the steering wheel, the
dash panel, seat backrests or between these
areas and the vehicle occupants. In the case
of an accident, external units can cause seri- ous injury, particularly when the airbags in-
flat
e. WARNING
Opening a CD player's housing may lead to
injurie s fr

om invisible laser radiation.
● Only have CD players repaired by a Special-
ised work
shop. CAUTION
● When in sertin

g and removing the CD, al-
ways hold it at right angles to the front of the
unit without scratching or tilting it.
● Inserting a second CD while a CD is already
insert
ed or being ejected may damage the CD
player. Always wait until the data medium
has been fully ejected! CAUTION
Any foreign objects attached to a data medi-
um and non-rou nd d

ata media can damage
the CD player.
● Only use standard 12 cm CDs!
– Do not stic

k stickers or other items to the
data medium. Stickers may peel off and
damage the drive.
– Do not use printable data media. Covers
and stickers may peel off and damage the
drive.
– Do not insert 8 cm "single" CDs or non-
round CDs or DVDs (shaped CDs). 4

Audio mode
Digital radio mode* (DAB, DAB
+ and DMB-Audio) Oper ation Fig. 12
DAB radio mode Some units are equipped with an additional
D
AB r
a
dio receiver. DAB is a digital broad-
casting standard for the terrestrial reception
of radio programs.
The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB,
DAB+ and DMB-Audio broadcasting stand-
ards.
In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
Band III (174 MHz to 240 MHz) and the L
Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz) frequencies.
The frequencies of the two bands are referred
to as “channels” and one each has a suitable
channel name (e.g. 8A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a chan-
nel with the additional services available in a
station “ensemble”. The main view of DAB radio mode shows the
name of the c

hannel and the channel's inter-
national ID, which appears above the station
name in the centre of the display.
DAB is currently not available in all areas .
When in DAB radio mode in areas with no
DAB reception, it displays: .
DAB announcements
DAB announcements are additional DAB
services that are also broadcast on the radio
(e.g. News, sports news, weather, warnings,
etc.). Note
The channel name, an indication that appears
abov e the s

tation's name, varies depending
on the country, for example“FU-E”, but not
the channel's international ID, for example
“11B” ››› Fig. 12. Automatic station tracking
DAB programme tracking
Some D
AB s
t

ations are broadcast in different
regional ensembles.
If the current station is no longer available in
your location, the unit may also switch to a
corresponding partner station.
DAB programme tracking can be switched off
in DAB settings ›››
table on page 28, SFO since it is not always required; i.e. when the
v
ehic
l

e is passing through a tunnel, the loss
of reception is only momentary and in these
the automatic station switching is not re-
quired. The radio will be muted if reception is
too weak.
Change from DAB to FM
Under DAB setup, the unit can be configured
to switch to the FM ››› table on page 28,
FML frequency band when required for auto-
m atic
s

tation tracking.
If reception of the currently selected DAB sta-
tion is lost (e.g. no DAB available), the unit
attempts to find the station on the FM fre-
quency band and tune to it. Automatic sta-
tion tracking between frequency bands only
works if the DAB station and the FM station
transmit the same station identifier or the
DAB signal indicates a corresponding station
on the FM frequency band.
If the reception of the selected DAB station is
lost and the station cannot be found on the
FM frequency band, the radio will be muted.
Starting station update (UPDATE ) During the station update, the unit scans the
gr
oup
s

of stations currently available in the
location and saves their position to make it
easier to switch among available groups us-
ing the arrow buttons  or
 .

in g audio fi
les on various different data me-
dia (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These au-
dio files can be played by the respective data
media or by the radio input sockets.

››› page 23. Restrictions and notes
C
ont
amin

ation, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Observe the manu-
facturer's instructions on the data medium.
Variations in the quality of data media pro-
duced by different manufacturers may lead to
problems during playback.
Please observe copyright laws. CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format can-
not be pl

ayed. 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. Compatibil-
ity with all encoding/recording software, re-
cording devices and recording media cannot
be guaranteed. Information can be found on
the internet regarding the best ways to create
audio files and data media (compression
rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, the unit
takes longer to read a data medium contain-
ing compressed audio files (MP3) than a
“normal” audio CD. Complex folder struc-
tures can also slow down the reading of a da-
ta medium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. 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).
