Digital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcast system.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information
● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcasted on a single
frequency (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 andtraffic 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.
● There is no fading (weakening of
the sound that is typical of AM or FM reception). The DAB signal is
reproduced at a constant volume.
● 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 Auto
ensemble linking and/or Auto
linking DAB-FM in the DAB
settings menu.
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand 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 best receivable FM stations. If TP 3 80 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the
strongest signal are issued.
Deactivate TP if DAB reception
should not be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.
Configuring DAB
Press CONFIG .
Select Radio settings and then DAB
settings .

Radio83
The following options are available in
the configuration menu:
Auto ensemble linking
With this function activated, the
device switches over to the same
service (programme) on another DAB ensemble (frequency) when the DAB
signal is too weak to be picked up by
the receiver.
Set the function to On or Off.
Auto linking DAB-FM
With this function activated, the
device switches over to a
corresponding FM station of the
active DAB service when the DAB
signal is too weak to be picked up by
the receiver.
Set the function to On or Off.
Dynamic audio adaption
With this function activated, the
dynamic range of the DAB signal is
reduced. That means the level of the
loud sounds is reduced and the level
of the quiet sounds is increased.
Therefore, the volume of the
Infotainment system can be raised to
a point where the quiet sounds are
audible, without the loud sounds
being too loud.
Set the function to On or Off.
Band selection
Select the menu item Band selection
to display the respective menu.
To define which DAB wavebands are
to be received by the Infotainment
system, activate one of the options:
