allows

  you   to   continue   listening   to   the   same   station,   by  
automatically

  switching   to   the   corresponding   "FM"   analogue  
station

  (if   there   is   one).
If   the   "DAB"   station   being   listened   to   is   not   available   on   "FM"   ("DAB/
FM"
  option   greyed   out),   or   "DAB / FM   auto   tracking"   is   not   activated,  
the

  sound   will   cut   out   while   the   digital   signal   is   too   weak.

This

system

 
which
 
processes
 
the   digital   signals   from   the   media   players  
(radio,

without   changing   the   audio   settings.  
This
 
processing

 
takes
 
account
 
of   the   characteristics   of   the   passenger  
compartment

 
to
 
produce
 
optimum   results.
The
 
Arkamys© software installed in your audio system processes the
 
digital

a
