additional information about the
current programme. If additional
information is displayed, the
programme name is hidden.
To prevent additional information
from being displayed, set PSN scroll

Digital audio broadcasting Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is
an innovative and universal
broadcasting system.
DAB stations are indicated by the
programme name instead of the
broadcasting frequency.
General information ■ With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcasted 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 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
incident can be avoided by
activating Service linking DAB and/
or Service linking FM in the DAB
option menu (see below).
■ Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon that is typical of AM and FM reception) does not occurwith 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 Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable FM stations. If TP 3 24 is activated,
traffic announcements of the FM
station which is currently best
receivable are issued. Deactivate
TP, if DAB reception should not be
interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.
