TV mode*Explanation of the technical terms“Terrestrial television” or DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestric)
With DVB-T, digital television signals are transmitted terrestrially (earthbound) and
can also be received via an aerial. DVB-T therefore offers mobile reception of high
quality without the need of a fixed aerial connection. DVB-T is therefore described
as “Terrestrial television”.
Advantages of DVB-T
In addition to a significant gain in quality, the transmitter capacity of a television
channel can be realised more effectivel y through digital transmitter technology
rather than analog signals. The greater da ta rate enables several programs of one
television channel to be transmitted bund led in one data flow (so called “Multi-
plex”). Part of the transmitter capacity can also be used for additional services, e.g.
electronic program guides or radio.
“Hybrid tuner” for analog and digital reception
The supply of DVB-T has up to now been restricted to densely populated regions,
so that an analog television receiver in the vehicle is still a prerequisite. It is for this
reason that a Hybrid tuner was developed for the unit, which consists of a
common analog TV receiver and a DVB-T receiver.
Display of analog and digital TV stations
The TV stations, which can be received, are indicated in the display of the combina-
tion instrument and when switching over and calling up the TV menus on the
screen. Analog and digital TV stations are displayed differently and are marked
⇒ page 34, “Displays in TV mode” on the touch-screen with “ Analog” or “DVB-
T ”.
OverviewThe TV picture will only be displaye d when the vehicle is stationary. The
touch-screen is switched off while driving, but the sound can still be
heard.
Starting TV mode
– Press the selector key to switch to the main MEDIA menu. The
last used media source will continue to play.
– Press the touch-screen in the Video DVD menu to open the Video DVD
menu.
– Press the function key to start the TV mode. The last set TV channel will be displayed in the pre-set aspect ratio in full picture mode.
Masking and unmasking the TV menu
– Briefly press the touch-screen when in the TV mode to insert ⇒fig. 14

If the dynamic navigation is set to manual and you are in route guidance mode you
can select to avoid the announced traffic problems on your route ⇒page 57,
“Requirements for a dynamic route guidance”.
If the navigation system is alerted of a tr affic problem on the calculated route, the
driver will be notified of this by means of an audible message and information in a
pop-up window.
The expected delay incurred in avoiding this traffic problem and the length of the
alternative route will be displayed. The expected time lost when driving through
this traffic problem will also be displayed.

Press to remain on the calculated route and to pass through the
traffic problem.
•
Press for an alternative route to be calculated taking into account
the announced traffic problem.
 Dynamic route
 Automatic
If the dynamic navigati on system is set to Automatic and you are in tour guidance
mode, you will automa tically be guided ⇒page 57, “Requirements for a dynamic
route guidance” around the announced traffic problem on your route.
After input of relevant traffic information for your route you will be advised of the
change in the current route guidance by means of an acoustic message. You will
automatically be guided around announced traffic jams or blocked roads, if this
saves time. Such announcements will take place if a
traffic problem affects the original route
calculation, the traffic problem has been solved and the navigation system can see
only one possibility of driving the actually most advantagous route.
Requirements for a dynamic route guidance
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) is a digital radio data service for continuous trans-
mission of traffic information.
The unit has a continuous background of TMC traffic reports providing a TMC
station at the current location can be received.
The quality of the transmitted traffic reports depends on the broadcast editing
carried out by the radio station. The rece ption of the TMC traffic reports cannot be
switched on or off.
The station you are listening to does not have to be a TMC station.
TMC traffic reports can only be evaluated and displayed by the unit if the navigation
data for the currently driven area is stored in the unit memory or can be called up
via an inserted navigation DVD.
The current TMC traffic reports can be di splayed by pressing the selector key
.
Note
•
There may not be any advantantage in avoiding the traffic jam if, as a result of
the TMC traffic reports, the dive rsion is also heavily congested.
•
You can manually block the information for the route in front of you if a traffic
problem ahead has not yet been included in the TMC traffic reports ⇒page 58.
