Radio25Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB)
broadcasts radio stations digitally.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information ● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcast on a single ensemble.
● Besides high-quality digital audio
services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data services including travel and
traffic information.
● As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.
If the DAB signal is too weak to
be picked up by the receiver,reception is interrupted
completely. This incident can be
avoided by activating DAB-DAB
Linking or DAB-FM Linking in the
DAB menu (see below).
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM and FM reception) does not
occur with DAB.
● If the DAB signal is reflected by natural obstacles or buildings,
the reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably
impaired in such cases.
● When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the FM stations with
the best reception. If TP 3 23 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TP if DAB reception should not
be interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.DAB Announcements
Besides their music programmes, a
lot of DAB stations also broadcast
announcements of various
categories. If you activate some or all categories, the currently received
DAB service is interrupted when an
announcement of these categories is
made.
Select Menu in the DAB radio main
menu to open the corresponding
waveband-specific submenu.
Scroll through the list and select DAB
Announcements to display a list of the
categories available.
Activate all or just the desired
announcement categories. Different
announcement categories can be
selected at the same time.
DAB-DAB Linking
If this function is activated, the device switches over to the same service
(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (if available) when the DAB
signal is too weak to be picked up by
the receiver.
