DAB tuner*
The digital radio provides you with additional
stations that are transmitted with high sound
quality.
Up to 15 stations may be broadcast on the
same frequency. These stations are combined
into what is know as an ensemble. Each station
can transmit additional information, such as
weather reports or the name of the artist per-
forming the current music track.
Individual stations may also offer several differ-
ent programmes. Sports stations, for example,
may broadcast different sports events at the
same time. You then have the option of choos-
ing a particular sports event.
The following functions can be operated in the
same way as the radio if you select an ensem-
ble:
