The radio station is responsible for the content of the broadcast
information.OperationIn Europe, digital radio has two DAB broadcasting standards, DAB+ and DMB
radio. The digital radio broadcasts on frequencies from waveband III
(174 MHz to 240 MHz) and waveband L (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called “ channels”, and are abbreviated
accordingly (for example, 12 A).
In one channel, several DAB stations join together with the additional avail-
able services, forming an “ Ensemble”.
These additional services are used to send additional information to the
radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.). DAB is currently not
available in all areas. When the DAB radio mode is active,
in areas where DAB is not available, the symbol of an aerial crossed out is
displayed.
Depending on the settings, in DAB mode incoming DAB messages are played
(for example, news, sport, weather forecasts, warnings, etc.) ⇒ page 27.
As a general rule, while you are driving the DAB tracking function changes to
the channel of the currently playing digital station with the best reception.
This permits additional settings to be made ⇒page 27.
Note
If the symbol of a crossed-out aerial is displayed “
µ”, this indicates that the
currently playing digital station on the channel selected is no longer available
in this location.
Note
Some digital stations also offer the radio text service. This is activated in
exactly the same way as for a conventional radio station ⇒ page 21.
Note
The DAB radio receiver is compatible with the DAB and DAB+ standards.

28DAB programme tracking and switching from DAB to FM
The DAB and FM station should broadcast the corresponding station identi-
fier in order to run programme tracking in several frequencies.
When the DAB reception is poor, the unit tries to find and tune into the corre-
sponding DAB station in the FM band.
As long as the station is broadcast through the FM band, (FM) is displayed
behind the station name. When the station can be found again in DAB, the
(FM) display disappears.
If the reception of a DAB station is poor and it cannot be found on FM either,
the radio volume is muted.
The DAB programme tracking function can be switched off if you do not wish
to change stations automatically, as the loss of signal is for a short time only,
for example, when driving though a tunnel.Function button: Result
: the incoming DAB messages are played with the
DAB radio mode on. If there is no FM station temporarily available and the
TP function is on, the DAB traffic reports are played in any operating mode
as TP reports ⇒page 21.
: tracking of activated programmes. To switch off, untick the
check box.
: The unit may be set to switch to the FM fre-
quency band when required for automatic station tracking.

Media modeIntroduction“Media sources ” are audio sources containing audio files on various different
data media (e.g. CD, memory card, exte rnal MP3 player). These audio files
can be played by the radio and navigation system from its corresponding
drives or audio input sockets (internal CD changer, memory card slot, AUX-IN
multimedia socket etc.).
The supported file formats listed are collectively referred to below as “audio
files”. A CD containing audio files of these types is referred to as an “audio
data CD”.
Additional Information:•Safety notes

30Restrictions and notes
Dirt, high temperatures or mechanical damage may damage the data
mediums. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Observe copyright laws!
CDs recorded in UDF or Direct CD format cannot be played. Under Windows
Vista
® ensure that the correct format is selected.
The unit may be unable to read individual tracks or the entire data medium
due to the data medium configuration or the devices and programs used for
recording. Information can be found on th e Internet on the best ways to create
audio files and data media (compression rate, ID3 tag etc.).
Due to the larger quantity of data, it takes longer to read a data medium
containing compressed audio files (MP3, WMA etc.) than a “normal” audio
CD. Complex folder structures can also slow down the reading of a data
medium.
Playlists only determine a certain playing order. There are no files stored in a
playlist. The unit will not play a playlist if the files are not on the data medium
at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths).
Playing order of files and foldersAudio files
 on data media are often organised by means of folders
p and
playlists
B to determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
numeric order.
