34RadioDigital audio broadcasting
Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcasting system.
Advantages of DAB ● DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
● 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 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.
● 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 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 (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 best receivable
FM stations. If TP 3 32 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station which is
currently best receivable are issued. Deactivate TP if you donot wish DAB reception to be
interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.
DAB settings
To configure the DAB settings
options, activate the radio function
and then select the DAB waveband.
Select MENU in the interaction
selector bar to display the DAB menu.
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 DAB service currently
