DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radio

Digital radio

Receiving TA messages

In DAB mode, press the "Text"

button to display RadioText (TXT) for

the current station.

The TA (Traffic Announcement)

function gives priority to playing alert

messages on the state of the traffic.

To be active, this function requires

good reception of a radio station that

broadcasts this type of message. As

soon as traffic information is broadcast,

the media playing is interrupted

automatically to transmit the TA

message. Normal play of the media

is restored after transmission of the

message.

Digital radio provides higher quality

reception and also additional

categories of traffic announcements

(TA INFO).

The range of multiplexes (sets of

analogue messages and digital data

combined in a single signal) available is

displayed in alphabetical order.

Press and hold a button to preset

(save) the station being listened to.

The name of the station is displayed

and an audible signal confirms the

preset.

Audio and Telematics

DAB / FM station tracking

Digital radio does not cover 100% of

the country.

If "DAB AF" tracking is activated,

there is a difference of a few seconds

when the system switches to the "FM"

analogue radio station with sometimes

a variation in volume.

When the digital signal is restored, the

system automatically changes back

to "DAB".

When the digital signal is weak, the

alternative DAB frequency option,

"DAB AF", makes it possible to

continue listening to the same station,

by automatically switching to the

corresponding "FM" station (if there

is one).

If the "DAB" station being listened to

is not available, or if "DAB AF" is not

activated, the sound will cut out while

the digital signal is too weak.

Press on MENU to display the list.

Turn the knob to select "Radio" then

press to confirm.

Turn the knob to select "DAB AF",

press to activate or deactivate the

frequency.

Information and advice

The audio system plays files with the extension:

".wma", type Ver7 and Ver8 with bit rate

between 48 and 192 Kbps and type Ver9 with

bit rate between 48 and 320 Kbps.

".aac", with bit rate between 16 and 320 Kbps.

".mp3 - MPEG1" with bit rate between 32 and

320 Kbps and ".mp3 - MPEG2" with bit rate

between 8 and 160 Kbps.

The sampling rates supported are 11, 22, 44

and 48 KHz.

Insert a USB memory stick into the USB port

or connect a USB peripheral device to the USB

port using a suitable cable (not supplied).

Connect a portable device (MP3 player…) to

the auxiliary JACK socket using an audio cable.

Use only USB memory sticks formatted FAT 32

(File Allocation Table).

The system builds playlists

(in temporary memory), an operation

which can take from a few seconds to

several minutes at the first connection.

Reduce the number of non-music files

and the number of folders to reduce the

waiting time.

It is advisable to restrict file names to

20 characters, without using of special

characters (e.g.: " " ? ; ù) to avoid any playing

and displaying problems.

The playlists are updated every

time the ignition is switched off or

connection of a USB memory stick.

However, the audio system memorises

these lists and if they are not modified,

the loading time will be shorter.
