TP traffic news station function (Traffic Programme)
Fig. 10 Traffic news monitoring in Media mode.
The TP (Traffic Programme) function is not available for all versions.
When the radio version does not have the traffic news reception function,
no action is taken when the TP
button is pressed (
TP is not displayed in the
upper left of the screen).
While traffic news monitoring is on (display: TP ⇒ Fig. 9), traffic announce-
ments will interrupt the current Audio mode.
Traffic news monitoring with the TP function is only possible if a traffic news
station is available.
Some stations that do not broadcast their own traffic news support the TP
function through a link to a traffic news station (EON). Traffic announce-
ments broadcast by the linked traffic news station interrupt the current au-
dio mode.
Switching the TP function on and off
● Press the unit button TP

⇒  Fig. 1 2.
If the station that is currently selected in FM mode does not support the TP
function, the unit will automatically search for a TP station (display: TP
SEEK). While traffic news monitoring is switched on and active,
TP is displayed at
the top left of the screen ⇒ Fig. 9.
● Press the TP
unit button to switch the TP function off again.
Activated TP function and station selection
In FM mode, the selected station must support the TP function. If a station
selected via the station buttons or manual tuning does not support the TP
function, traffic news monitoring is not possible (display: NO TP).
If the currently selected traffic news station can no longer be received,
NO TP is also displayed and you will need to start a manual station search using the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 1 ⇒ page 11.
During a station search with the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker switch or the scan func-
tion (SCAN), the unit will only tune to stations that support the TP function.
If you activate the TP function in areas where TP is not available, it will be-
gin to search for traffic news stations but it will not be able find any. The
search will finish on the last station you were listening to. The TP function
remains switched on (display: No TP). We recommend you deactivate the TP
function, otherwise in the next station search with the 
SEEK / ... 
rocker
switch no stations will be found.
In AM mode or Media mode or while the unit is muted, the unit will always
automatically tune to a traffic news station in the background, provided the
reception of said station is good. This procedure may take some time, de-
pending on the situation. In AM mode or Media mode the currently selected
traffic news station is displayed next to TP ⇒ Fig. 10.
In units with a DAB radio receiver, depending on the settings, the traffic an-
nouncements from a DAB traffic news station can be played ( DAB TRAFFIC
ANNOUNCEMENT ON  ⇒  page 52).
Reception of traffic announcements (INFO)
An incoming traffic announcement (display: TP-INFO) will interrupt the active
Audio mode. 

Audio mode
● If required, the radio is switched to the traffic news station (EON) for the
duration of the traffic announcement.
● The Media mode will be paused and the volume will be adjusted to the
preset level.
● During a traffic announcement, the traffic announcement volume setting
can be adjusted with the volume control . The adjusted setting will be ap-
plied to subsequent announcements.
● Interruption by a traffic announcement can be stopped by pressing the
TP
unit button. The TP function remains active and the next traffic an-
nouncement will again interrupt the current Audio mode. 

DAB* radio mode
Function only available in Europe
Introduction
Some units are equipped with an additional DAB radio receiver. DAB is a
digital broadcasting standard for the terrestrial reception of radio programs.
Operation
DAB is also known as “digital radio” and is broadcast over band III
(174 MHz - 240 MHz) and band L (1452 MHz - 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred to as “channels” and each
has a channel name (e.g. 12 A).
Several DAB stations are combined in a channel with the additional services
available in a station “ensemble”.
Using these additional services additional information can be sent to the
radio (e.g. news, sports, weather, warnings, etc.).
DAB is currently not available in all areas. In areas without DAB,  is dis-
played in DAB radio mode.
Settings can be made to display and play messages, to browse stations and
to browse traffic news stations (TP function) ⇒ page 52.

the corresponding memory level ⇒ Fig. 11.
The stored stations are stored and tuned as described in Radio mode
⇒  page 10.
The last DAB radio station tuned in DAB-Radio A-1 is displayed in the centre
line of the screen and is played, if it can still be received in the current loca-
tion. The group of stations currently selected is displayed in the upper right

After selecting the last (or first) DAB station in the current ensemble, the
unit changes to the first (or last) DAB station in the next ensemble.
According to the SEEK MODE system settings, you can only change to the
stored stations ⇒ page 52.
Changing the set of stations
● Briefly press the  ENS / ... 
rocker switch ⇒ Fig. 1

If the location is changed, the list of stations should be updated ( UPDATE)
so that the radio does not search for the groups available in the previous
location in the wrong channel ⇒ page 20.
Changing DAB frequency band channels by hand
● Turn the settings knob ⇒ Fig. 1 8
.
The channel selected is displayed in the centre of the screen. If a DAB group
is broadcast on the channel selected, its name will be displayed at the top
right of the screen and the first DAB station of the group will be played.
Scan function (SCAN) and Autostore
The operating and handling of these additional functions is the same as
that described for FM and AM Radio mode ⇒ page 10.
Note
If the data of a channel has been tuned in cannot be decoded, No Audio will
be displayed after the name of the group. The DAB stations of a group of
this kind cannot be played. Function only available in Europe

An “additional station” is a subsidiary station of the selected DAB station
and is often only temporarily available (for instance, for broadcasting sports
events).

Media mode Introduction
“Media sources” are audio sources containing audio files on various differ-
ent data media (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These audio files can be
played by the radio system from its corresponding players or audio input
sockets (internal CD player , external CD changer, AUX-IN multimedia sock-
et).

DIN IEC 76 (CO) 6/ VDE 0837. The unit only accepts 12-cm standard CDs.
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”.

nutes).– CD Digital Audio specification .

Restrictions and notes
Contamination, exposure to high temperatures and mechanical damage can
render a data medium unusable. Please observe the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Variations in the quality of data media produced by different manufacturers
may lead to problems during playback.
Please 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. Compatibility with all encoding/recording software, recording de-
vices and recording media cannot be guaranteed. Incompatible USB devi-
ces can make noise, interrupt playback or not playback at all. Information
about the best ways to create audio files and data media (compression
rate, ID3 tag etc.) can be found on the Internet.
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 me-
dium.
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 stored on the
data medium at the locations referred to by the playlist (relative file paths). Playing order for audio data CDs
Fig. 14 Example of an MP3 CD structure.
Audio files  on data media are often sorted by folders  and playlists
 to
determine a certain playing order.
Tracks, folders and playlists on a data medium are sorted by name in alpha-
betic or numeric order.
Subfolders are treated like folders and numbered in accordance with the se-
quence on the CD.
The illustration ⇒ Fig. 14 shows a typical MP3 CD that contains tracks
,
folders  and subfolders.
Accordingly, the tracks and folders on this CD are played and displayed in
the following order: Tracks 1
and 2 in the root directory
of the CD (display: ROOT).
Tracks 3 and 4 in the first folder F1 in the root directory of the CD
