Digital radio mode (DAB, DAB+
and audio DMB)* Introduction Some units are equipped with an additional

dio receiver. »

Audio mode
The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB,
D AB+ and DMB-Audio br
o
adcasting stand-
ards.
In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
Band III frequencies (174 MHz to 240 MHz)
and the L Band (1452 MHz to 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 into one
channel with the additional services availa-
ble in a “block”.
DAB is currently not available in all areas . In
areas without DAB, is displayed in DAB ra-
dio mode. The system and functions settings
allow in this case a change of FM station
››› page 21. In the system and functions
settings there is the configuration of other
settings for the tracking of stations and for
playing DAB notifications. Note
The radio stations are responsible for the
cont ent
of the information sent. Operation

in the current location. The selected group at
that time ( DAB 5) is shown in the top line of
the screen ››› Fig. 12.

Media mode Introduction “M
edia sources” are audio sources contain-
in g audio fi
les on various different data me-
dia (e.g. CD, external MP3 player). These au-
dio files can be played by the respective data
media or by the radio input sockets.
Requirements for Media sources and
audio file
s Restrictions and notes
C
ont
amin
ation, exposure to high tempera-
tures and mechanical damage may render a
data medium unusable. Please observe the
manufacturer's instructions.
Please observe copyright laws.
The unit may be unable to read individual
tracks or the entire data device due to the da-
ta device configuration or the devices and
programs used for recording. Information about the best ways to create audio files and
data medi
a (compression rate, ID3 tag, etc.)
shall be found, for example, on the Internet.
Complex folder structures can also slow
down the reading of data.
Playlists only determine a certain playing or-
der. 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).

ble media sources ››› page 12.
● Press the function button .
The outp ut
volume of a connected external
audio source should be adjusted to that of
the other audio sources.
Adjusting the output volume
If you need to increase the output volume for
the external audio source, first lower the
base volume on the radio.
If the sound from the external audio source is
too low, increase the output volume on the
external audio source if possible. If this is not
enough, set the input volume in the system settings to
level 2 or level 3
›››
page 21.
If the sound from the connected external au-
dio source is too loud or distorted, lower the
output volume on the external audio source if
possible. If this is not enough, change the in-
put volume to level 2 or level 1 . Note
● If p l
ayback of the external audio source fin-
ishes or if the connector of the AUX-IN multi-
media socket is unplugged, the radio will re-
main in the AUX menu.
● Interference noise may be heard if the ex-

Functional description of speed-dependent
volume adjustment (GALA)
The speed-dependent volume regulation au-
tomatically increases the volume as the vehi-
cle speed increases.
You can set the degree to which the volume
increases with speed on a scale between 1
and 7.
If a low value is set, the volume increases on-
ly slightly as the speed of the vehicle increa-
ses. At a high setting the volume increases
further. At 0 speed-dependent volume ad-
justment is switched off.
DAB-FM LINKING Function
If reception of the currently selected DAB sta-
tion is lost (e.g. no DAB available), the unit attempts to find the station on the FM fre-
quency band and t
une to it.
Automatic station tracking between frequen-
cy bands only works if the DAB station and
the FM station transmit the same station
identifier or the DAB signal indicates a corre-
sponding station on the FM frequency band.
Once the corresponding FM station has been
found, (FM) is displayed after the station
name. When reception for the corresponding
DAB station returns, the unit will switch back
to DAB mode after a short time.
If the reception of the selected DAB station is
too weak and the station can no longer be
found on the FM frequency band, the radio
will be muted. 23
