The device allows analogue radio reception of FM and AM frequency ranges as
well as DAB digital radio reception.
The radio reception DAB allows multiple stations to be transmitted in a single
frequency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also allows for the transmis-
sion of additional data and information (e.g. messages, sport, weather, warn-
ings, etc.).
CAUTION
■ Car parks, tunnels, tall buildings or mountains can disrupt the radio signal
even causing it to fail completely.■
For vehicles with window antennas; if the windows are covered in foil or with
metallic film stickers, reception interference may be experienced.
■
In countries where the RDS function is not supported sufficiently, we recom-
mend turning off the RDS and AF functions. Otherwise, these settings can af-
fect the functionality of the radio.

DAB programme tracking
If a DAB station is a member of several station groups, when the signal is poor,
the same station is searched in a different station group.
Auto-change DAB -FM
If the DAB signal is poor, the unit will try to find a corresponding FM station for
the DAB station you are currently listening to.
For auto-change to work, the DAB and FM stations must send a sender ID.
› While the station is received on the FM band (
) is displayed after the sta-
tion name. The () marker disappears when the relevant DAB station can be
received again ).
› If a DAB station is also not available in the FM band due to poor reception,
the device will be switched to mute.
› If you do not want automatic station change (e.g. when driving through tun-
nels, when reception may be lost temporarily), you can deactivate this func-
tion .
L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different frequency ranges
are used. In some countries the DAB radio reception only in the so-called L-
band.
› If you have any problems with the DAB wireless reception it is necessary to
ensure that the DAB Automatic tuning in L-band is on.
› If no DAB radio reception in the L-band is possible in the country, then it is
better to leave this menu item switched off. This causes the channel scan to
be faster.23Radio

Due to differing quality requirements from different card manufacturers, it is
not always possible to guarantee the playback from SD memory cards.
Some files on the SD memory card or the complete SD memory card cannot be
played back or their reproduction may be limited.
CAUTION
■ Only use SD cards in standard size. When using smaller SD card with the
adapter the SD memory card may fall out or the adapter while driving the vehi-
