8. Digital Radio: DAB/DAB+

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB or DAB+) is the digital successor to analogue VHF broadcasting. Digital transmission differs from the familiar analogue VHF radio in the following ways.

Several stations are broadcast on one channel, the so-called multiplex (ENSEMBLE) (= program packages).

The stations that fall within a given MULTIPLEX are called SERVICES (= stations and/or data services).

In Germany, for example, the MULTIPLEXES are available regionally from public broadcasters; moreover, there are currently two MULTIPLEXES that can be received throughout Germany: DR DEUTSCHLAND and ANTENNE DE. The stations do not output disagreeable noises known from VHF; a station is either heard with a consistent quality or breaks up when error correction is no longer able to reconstruct the signal, accompanied by short, so-called "burbling" noises.

Starting to play the DAB/DAB+ radio

Use the SRC or DAB+ button to select the DAB1, DAB2 or DAB3 source.

If necessary, run a scan using the DAB SERVICE SCAN menu option (DAB SERVICE SUCHE) to find stations available in

your location (see "SETTINGS").

Tip: some of the memory sources/levels are inactive depending on the setting; only the DAB1 memory level is active by default. See "SETTINGS".

Tip: there are 5 memory slots available for each memory level.

If the PTY (program type) function is active (see "SETTINGS"), you can toggle through stations known to your car radio with the corresponding PTY ID by pressing the FR/FF buttons (to pre-select the PTY type, see "SETTINGS").

Tip: you can choose the browsing mode as the default setting, see "SETTINGS".

Saving services/recalling saved services

Favourite services can be stored under the preset stations buttons 1-5. Every memory level can store up to 5 stations. Set the desired service as described above.

Then press and hold the preset station button for a selected service for more than one second until you can hear a sound acknowledging that the service has been saved; after the beep, release the button. You can recall a saved service by briefly pressing the preset station button.

Sets the receiving region where the radio is used.

AUDIO (KLANG)

In this submenu, you can adjust the sound source by source.

Tip: the 14-band equalizer works for all sources simultaneously and can be adjusted separately for front and rear channels.

The equalizer allows you to customise the sound of your

car radio to your speakers, and then you can adjust the sound separately for each sound source using the BASS (TIEFEN) and TREBLE (HOEHEN) settings if necessary.

Tip: the range of tone control is subject to certain limitations, which are technically determined and are intended to avoid extreme settings possibly resulting in distortion and interference. For example, you cannot increase a single frequency setting by 12 dB with the equalizer and by another 12 dB by adjusting the LOW or HIGH settings – this leads to a very unnatural sound and, possibly, to distortion and clipping.

Tip: only one tone control option can be used at a time (manual equalizer setting, sound graph or volume – these options for different sound sources can then be combined with the BASS (TIEFEN) and TREBLE (HOEHEN) settings for that source).

BASS (TIEFEN)

Hz, 1 kHz, 2 kHz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, 10 kHz, 12 kHz and 16 kHz.

In addition, in the Q-FACTOR item, you can adjust the filter quality/drop of 1.00, 1.41 and 2.00 (a lower value means better filter quality/bigger drop).

Tip: when the equalizer is on, the SOUND PRESET setting has no function and is disabled.

HPF (High Pass Filter)

The split frequency (50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160 or 200 Hz) and filter slope 6 or 12 dB) can be set separately for the FRONT (VORNE) front speaker channels and/or REAR (HINTEN) rear speaker channels to cut low frequencies, e.g. if an additional subwoofer or other channels are used at the subwoofer output, or if the connected speakers cannot sufficiently reproduce the lower frequency spectrum.

LPF (Low Pass Filter)

The ignition positive pole is not connected or is not activated. Check the connections.

- At a higher volume, the display/car radio flickers or the sound turns off

Check the cross section of the power supply wire. Do not go below an impedance of 4 Ohms/channel. Have the installation performed/checked by a professional.

• The remote control does not work

Check if the battery is properly seated, remove the small plastic wrap, point the remote control at the car radio to keep the line of sight.

- The car radio does not turn on/does not respond to ignition/ always turns off automatically after a certain period of time/ cannot be turned on without ignition

Is the ignition/fixed positive pole connected properly? The ignition positive pole must switch properly between 0 V/12 V, there must be no residual voltage on the ignition positive in the "ignition off" state.

Check the car radio for correct connection, under no circumstances should you connect the car plugs directly to the car radio without first checking the PIN-to-PIN assignment.

Have the installation performed/checked by a professional.

- Settings and/or preset stations are lost, the time is not displayed properly

As a rule, the car radio saves the settings permanently, even without power supply. However, some settings are not permanently saved until properly turned off, so make sure you properly turn off your car radio.

The functions such as the time, last source, last USB/CD playback position require constant power supply. For proper operation, the car radio must be properly connected to a permanent power source which must not be interrupted.

In addition, some radio stations may transmit incorrect time signal via RDS. If this is the case, disable the RDS function responsible for the time in the menu, and set the clock manually.

- The car radio does not receive a radio signal or the signal is weak

Check the antenna for your reception range.

Check if a phantom power supply adapter may be needed.

Is the antenna installed correctly? Many antennas require a counterpole (car body).

LED lights or other electrical components may interfere with radio reception, so such interference should be excluded.

When using the car radio for the first time, make sure the radio is set to the correct radio region (see "SETTINGS").

- NO SIGNAL or NO SERVICE is suddenly displayed in the DAB mode

The current MULTIPLEX (program package) signal is too weak and audio signal decoding is not possible. Select another MULTIPLEX or check the DAB antenna. The radio suddenly displays SEEK PI (SUCHE PI)/SEEK TA (SUCHE TA) or changes stations during operation

Check your antenna and car radio settings. If necessary, deactivate the alternative frequency function (see "SETTINGS").

If the communication radio function has been enabled, poor reception may cause the radio to change stations itself, disable the communication radio function or select another station.

- The car radio displays station name in the radio mode incorrectly

Adjust the display as required with the DIS button. Check reception (check the antenna).

Note: some stations send additional information instead of the RDS station name; this is not affected by the radio.

• USB, CD, SD or other storage media do not work

Check other storage media for correct functioning, format storage media, and play different files.

- Bluetooth® problems (phonebook is not displayed, the phone does not connect, the caller cannot be heard)

Check for software updates for your cell phone and/or car radio.

Clear the car radio from the the cell phone list, and then re-establish the connection.

Confirm all authorisation requests on the cell phone with YES or check them manually in case of a connected car radio.

Use another cell phone to cross-check.

• The caller does not hear me

Check the external microphone for correct connection. Check the microphone setting in the Bluetooth® settings (if available).

Use another cell phone to cross-check.

- SUB-OUT or its setting options on the car radio do not work Make sure the subwoofer is properly connected to the SUB-Out output of the car radio, otherwise the options in the sound settings do not have any effect.

- The issue/malfunction is not specified in this case. A car radio function does not work as expected/The car radio does not behave as expected

Reset the device to factory defaults in MENU ->

VARIOUS -> NORMSET.

Verify that the software is up to date. Current software updates are available on our website or can be ordered through our service.

Note: a detailed description of the malfunction and the current car radio software version is required when contacting the service.
