Alternative frequency (FM, DAB*1), HD Radio waveband*)
While this function is switched on , the tuner attempts to switch to an alternative frequency of the current station when the reception quality becomes weaker. When the reception is lost in the DAB* waveband, the system will automatically switch to an alternative station in the FM waveband, if there is one available.
When the function is switched off, the tuner will not switch to alternative frequencies in the FM waveband. The current frequency will be maintained, and in some cases may no longer be received. The alternative frequency function is automatically switched on again when the station is changed. When the DAB waveband is set, the tuner will not switch to alternative stations in the FM waveband.
Switch regional stations (FM)1)
Important: The alternative frequency function must be switched on .
Some FM stations split up their transmission and provide different regions with regional programmes with differing content. When the function is on , the system switches to alternative region-specific frequencies.
L band (DAB*)1)
There are two wavebands for the digital radio: Band III and L band. Ensembles in the band III usually have a larger range extending into several regions. They can be received at all times. In some regions DAB is broadcast in the L band. When this option is on, stations from the L band will also be received.
Station sorting (FM)1)
A-Z: The stations are displayed in the station list in alphabetical order. Radio stations with variable station names are displayed after the alphabetical list; radio stations without station names appear at the end of the list.
ID: The stations in the station list are sorted according to the station's ID (e.g. all BBC radio stations are sorted together). Radio stations without station names are displayed at the end of the list.
Station sorting (DAB*)1)

Available sub-programmes* (additional services provided by DAB* radio stations) are listed beneath the radio station (indented).
