Fig. 1 in order to
start Radio mode.
After you switch to Radio mode, the available
frequency bands (FM, AM and DAB) are ini-
tially displayed in the bottom line of the
screen ›››
Fig. 2. After roughly 5 seconds, they
are replaced by the “station buttons”
››› Fig. 3. Stations can be stored to the station
buttons ›››
page 12. The station that is playing will appear in the
centre of

the screen. For stations with RDS,
the name of the station will appear instead of
its frequency if reception is good enough, for
example RADIO 1.
RDS and automatic station tracking
(only in FM) RDS is a radio data service which makes it
pos
s

ible to receive additional services such
as the display of station names, automatic
station tracking (AF) and the TP function (Traf-
fic Program ››› page 16).
With automatic station tracking, when the ve-
hicle is in motion the station always changes
to the frequency with the best reception in
that moment. If the reception is poor, the unit
may be muted for a short time as it searches
for alternative frequencies (AF).
RDS does not exist everywhere nor is it avail-
able for all stations.
Depending on the country and the unit, it is
possible that the RDS and the alternative fre-
quencies (AF) are deactivated ›››

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
 .

s
on

ly possible if the TP station is available.
Some stations that do not have their own
traffic news support the TP function by broad-
casting traffic reports from other stations
(EON). Traffic announcements broadcast by
the linked traffic news stations interrupt the
current audio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the unit button TP
› ››
Fig. 1 7 .
If the s
t

ation 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 ).
● Press the TP unit button to switch the TP
f u
nction off

again.
When in areas without TP coverage the TP
function is activated, and search is begun for
a traffic news station, ending in the failure to
find a station. The search then returns to the
station to which it was originally tuned. The
TP function remains switched on (display: No
TP ). It is necessary to deactivate the TP func-
tion, otherwise no stations will be found in
the subsequent search using the arrow but-
tons.
TP function activated
While traffic news monitoring is switched on
and enabled, TP is displayed ››› Fig. 14. In radio mode, the selected station must sup-
port

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 dis-
played and you will need to start a manual
station search using the arrow buttons  ›››

D

uring a station search with the arrow but-
tons or the scan function (SCN), the unit will
only tune to stations that support the TP
function.
In Media mode or while the unit is muted, the
unit will automatically tune to a traffic news
station in the background, provided the TP
station available has a good signal. This op-
eration may take some time depending on
the situation.
Incoming traffic announcement (INFO)
An incoming traffic announcement (display: INFO ) will interrupt the active audio mode.
● If required, the radio is switched to the traf-
fic news
station (EON) for the duration of the
traffic announcement.
● The Media mode will be paused and the
volume w
ill be adjusted to the preset level.
● During the announcement, the announce-
ment v

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).
