Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcasting system.
Advantages of DAB ■ DAB stations are indicated by the programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
■ With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can bebroadcasted on a single frequency(ensemble).
■ Besides high-quality digital audio services, DAB is also able to
transmit programme-associated
data and a multitude of other data
services including travel and traffic
information.
■ 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 orFM 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 canbe avoided by activating DAB to
DAB Linking and/or DAB to FM
Linking in the DAB option menu
(see below).
■ Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon 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 is
improved, whereas AM or FM
reception is considerably impaired in such cases.
■ When DAB reception is enabled, the FM tuner of the Infotainment
system remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable FM stations. If TP 3 120 is activated,
