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
