Digital audio broadcasting (DAB)

● With DAB, several radio programmes (services) can be
broadcasted 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 andtraffic 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.
● Interference caused by stations that are on nearby frequencies (a
phenomenon 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 isimproved, 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 TA 3 101 is
activated, traffic announcements
of the FM station with the best
reception are issued. Deactivate
TA if DAB reception should not
be interrupted by FM traffic
announcements.
Alternative frequencies If the DAB signal of a service is too
weak to be picked up by the receiver, the Infotainment system can
automatically tune to an alternative
FM frequency to continue the
programme.
