DAB

((only for certain countries))

(Digital Audio Broadcasting) is an optimised digital transmission standard designed for the mobile reception of radio transmissions. Several stations are combined into ensembles and transmitted on one single frequency. Digital radio stations can be transmitted nationally, regionally or locally.

Digital stations are selected and saved in the same way as analogue stations. The following section therefore lists only those features specific to DAB.

Some stations only transmit programmes at certain times. If you have selected a station that is subsequently removed from the ensemble, it will no longer be received. You will continue to receive the other programmes in the ensemble. Select either a different programme or a different ensemble.

Searching for an ensemble

An ensemble consists of multiple radio programmes. Every ensemble is transmitted in a certain area (national, regional or local) in the same way as a traditional AM/FM radio station.

  

Select << or >> in the DAB radio display.

 

COMAND searches upwards or downwards for ensembles. You will see a message to this effect. You will see the available stations of the nearest ensemble found.

 

Subprogram

Some digital radio stations transmit additional sub-programmes. These include, for example, information on events taking place in a certain region or regional news.

  

In the DAB radio display, select DABSub-programmes.

 

The names of the main and sub-programmes appear, and you hear the corresponding information.

  

To select a sub-programme: turn or slide .
