Name of the station and automatic station tracking
When the RDS is available, you can view the station names in the RADIO
main menu and in the
list of FM stations
.
The FM stations send different content under one name (for example, Radio
2) in various regional frequencies, provisionally or permanently.
When driving, the automatic station tracking automatically changes to the
frequency that provides the best reception of the currently-selected station.
As a result, you may lose the regional programme you are listening to.
The automatic change of frequencies and automatic station tracking can be
linked through the
FM setup
⇒
page 20.
Radio text
Some RDS-compatible stations also broadcast additional text information
known as radio text.
The radio text is displayed in the top half of the screen, above the stored
station buttons.
The radio text display can be linked through the
FM setup

Note
●
The radio stations are responsible for the content broadcast.
●
Due to infrastructure issues, RDS functions may be limited in certain
countries, and you may not be able to use traffic reports, automatic station
tracking (AF) or programme types (PTY).
●
In some cases the name of the station is too long. This text may be
blocked/unblocked by pressing on the station name for 3 seconds (a dot
will appear on the left and right of the station name).

The DAB radio receiver is compatible with the standards DAB, DAB+ and
DMB audio.
In Europe, digital radio broadcasts on frequencies from band frequency III
(174 MHz to 240 MHz) and band frequency L (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of both bands are called “
channels
”, and are abbreviated
accordingly (for example,
12 A
).
Several DAB stations are combined in one channel with the additional serv-
ices available in a “
block
”.
DAB is
not currently available in all areas
. In DAB Radio mode, it will show
when you are in an area with no DAB service
.
