The TV picture will only be displayed when the vehicle is stationary. The touch-
screen is switched off while driving, but the sound can still be heard.
DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial)
With DVB-T, the TV signal is transmitted terrestrially. DVB-T allows reception in
high quality.
The supply of DVB-T is currently limited in particular to industrial areas and urban
centres. 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.
The TV stations which can be received are indicated in the information display
and when switching over and calling up the TV menu on the display. Analogue
and digital TV stations are displayed differently and are marked on the touch-
screen with
“Analog.” or “DVB-T ”.

Displays in TV mode
Some television stations offer bilingual programmes in so-called

“dual channel
sound”. The audio channel is selected in the Setup TV » page 11, Setup TV menu.
In this case “ Channel A” or “Channel B ” will be displayed at the top left on the
touch-screen.
A program in stereo will also be indicated by the symbol “ ” on the right on the
touch-screen under the function key  . A programme in dual channel sound will
be indicated by the symbol

“  ”.
If a TV station also transmits Video text , “VT” will be displayed at the top right on
the touch-screen. If video text is not available for the current station, the video
text function “ ” will be indicated after call up.
If the set digital TV station supports the electronical program guide it will be indi-
cated accordingly by “EPG” (Electronic Program Guide) at the top right in the
touch-screen. If EPG is not generally available at the location, only “ ” will be dis-
played after call-up of the EPG function via the function key Extras .

If you press the function key DTMF on the input screen, the character string dis-
played in the entry line will be played as a DTMF key tone sequence.
