reception.Advantages of RDS ■ On the display the programme name of the set station appears
instead of its frequency.
■ On station search the Infotainment system tunes in to RDS stations
only.■ The Infotainment system always tunes into the best receivable
broadcasting frequency of the set
station by means of AF (Alternative

■ Depending on the station that is received the Infotainment systemdisplays radio text that can contain,
for example, information about the
current programme.
RDS is only possible on the FM band.

Digital audio broadcastingDigital 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 bebroadcast 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, reception
is interrupted completely. This can
be avoided by activating DAB AF
and/or DABFM in the DAB settings
menu.
■ 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 isimproved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably impaired
in such cases.
■ The radio is also capable of reveicing DAB+ and DMB-Audio.
Ensembles Several programmes are alwayscombined into a so-called ensemble
on a frequency.
Scrolling through ensembles
You can scroll through ensembles
which you have already received
once (the ensembles need to be

memory level appears briefly on the

programme are displayed.
