Digital radio DAB
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is the digital transmission of radio programmes
based on the DAB, DAB+ or DMB standards. It allows multiple stations to be
transmitted in a single frequency in the form of a so-called ensemble. It also al-
lows for the transmission of additional data and information (e.g. messages,
sport, weather, warnings, etc.)
In regions without DAB coverage, the following symbol appears in DAB Radio
mode .

DAB programme tracking
If a DAB station is a member of several ensembles, when the signal is poor, the
same station is searched in a different ensemble.
Auto-change DAB -FM
If the DAB signal is poor, the unit will try to find a corresponding FM station for
the DAB station you are currently listening to.
For auto-change to work, the DAB and FM stations must send a sender ID.
While the station is being received via the FM frequency band, (FM) will appear
next to the station name . When the corresponding DAB station is in range again, the (FM) display disappears.
If a DAB station is also not available in the FM frequency band due to poor recep-
tion, the radio will be switched to mute.
If you do not want automatic station change (e.g. when driving through tunnels,when reception may be lost temporarily), you can deactivate this func-tion » page 9 , Settings in RADIO mode .

Traffic Programme TP
The display “ TP” in combination with a station name (e.g. in the station or preset
list), indicates a traffic programme station.
Irrespective of which radio station you are listening to, an additional receiver part
in the unit ensures that a traffic programme station can always be received as
long as the traffic programme function is switched on. During media mode, the
unit always searches for an available traffic program station in the background.
The availability of traffic programme monitoring is identified by the letters “ TP” at
the top right of the screen.
If no traffic programme station can be received because, for example, radio recep- tion is interrupted in general, “ No TP” will be displayed instead of “ TP”.
