Radio data system (RDS)

reception.

32RadioAdvantages of RDS● On the display, the programme name of the station appears
instead of its frequency.
● During a station search, the Infotainment system tunes in to
RDS stations only.
● The Infotainment system always tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set station by means of AF
(alternative frequency).
● Depending on the station received, the Infotainment
system displays radio text that
can contain e.g. information on
the current programme.

Traffic Programme (TP)
Radio traffic service stations are RDS stations that broadcast traffic news. Ifthe traffic service is switched on, the
function currently active is interrupted
for the duration of the traffic
announcement.
If the radio traffic service is activated,
[TP] is shown in the top line of all main
menus. If the current station or media played is not a radio traffic service
station, [ ] is displayed and a search
is started automatically for the next radio traffic service station available.
As soon as a radio traffic service
station is found, [TP] is highlighted. If

necessary. If regionalisation is
switched off, alternative frequencies
of the stations are selected without
regard to regional programmes.
Set Region - On or Region - Off .

Radio33Digital audio broadcasting
DAB broadcasts radio stations
digitally.
Advantages of DAB ● DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcasted 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 can be avoided
by activating DAB to DAB
Linking and/or DAB to FM
Linking in the DAB menu (see
below).
● 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 31 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. DeactivateTP if you do not wish DAB
reception to be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.

options, activate the radio function
and then select the DAB waveband.
Select MENU in the interaction
selector bar to display the DAB menu.

display the DAB categories list.
Select the desired categories. The

(programme) on another DAB
ensemble (if available) when the DAB

DAB to FM Linking
If this function is activated, the device switches over to a corresponding FM
station of the active DAB service (if
available) when the DAB signal is too
weak to be picked up by the receiver.Set DAB to FM Linking - On or DAB
to FM Linking - Off .
L Band
