Radio33Digital audio broadcasting
DAB broadcasts radio stations
digitally.
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
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 bya broadcasting station (even if
the signal is very weak), sound
reproduction is ensured.
● In the event of poor reception, the
volume is reduced automatically
to avoid the output of
disagreeable noises.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 to DAB
Linking and/or DAB to FM
Linking in the DAB menu (see
below).
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (aphenomenon that is typical of AMand 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 Infotainmentsystem remains active in the
background and continually
searches for the best receivable
FM stations. If TP 3 31 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. DeactivateTP if you do not wish DAB
reception to be interrupted by FM
traffic announcements.

options, activate the radio function
