instead of its frequency.
■ On station search the Infotainment system tunes in to RDS stations
only.

144Radio
■ The Infotainment system alwaystunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set station by means of AF (Alternative Frequency).
■ Depending on the station that is received the Infotainment system
displays radio text that can contain,
for example, information about the
current programme.
RDS is only possible on the FM band.
Switching RDS on/off
If RDS is switched on, the RDS

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
broadcast on a single frequency (ensemble).
■ As long as a given DAB receiver can pick up the signal sent out by a
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, receptionis interrupted completely. This can
be avoided by activating DAB AF
and/or DAB FM in the audio
settings menu.
■ Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AM
and FM reception) does not occur
with DAB.

Radio147
■ If the DAB signal is reflected bynatural obstacles or buildings, the
reception quality of DAB is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably impaired
in such cases.
■ The radio is also capable of reveicing DAB+ and DMB-Audio.
