Dab Radio Functions - Aston Martin Vantage S 2016 Owner's Manual

DAB Radio Functions

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) radio broadcasts digitally via a
network of transmitters. DAB radio provides more stations, more
information and a clearer sound quality. DAB is market specific.
DAB Ensembles
DAB ensembles are groups of DAB broadcasters that transmit
multiple digital radio stations on a single radio transmission. There are
usually between 6-10 radio stations per ensemble.
If the vehicle is in motion and DAB reception is lost, the vehicle
may be out of range of the ensemble.
The DAB radio sound quality may be reduced if any auxiliary
electrical equipment is connected to the vehicle.

Learn
Learn scans the DAB radio frequencies and automatically
repopulates the station list with all available stations. Learn is
automatic and performs this scan in the background each time the
audio is switched ON. To perform the learn process at any time,
complete the following:
1. From the DAB screen, push the JOYSTICK down to select
<Options>.
2. Select <LEARN> from the list. A message is shown in the screen
explaining about the function.
3. Press ENTER to start the learn function.
4. The screen shows the progress status of the scan and the
number of stations found. Once complete the station list is
updated. The first station in the list is then played.
Current Station Information
To view current station information:
1. From the DAB screen, push the JOYSTICK down to select
<Options>.
2. Select <Station Info> from the list.
3. The station name, ensemble name and frequency block for the
current station are then shown.
Station Link
A DAB station link creates a link between the same DAB stations
within different ensembles. Therefore if the radio reception on the
current station drops below an acceptable level, the DAB system
searches other ensembles and if the same station is found and has a
better signal, then this station is then used. A 'no signal' message
maybe shown whilst the system is searching.
To enable DAB links:
1. From the DAB menu, push the JOYSTICK down to select
<Options>.
2. Select <DAB link> from the list.
3. Press ENTER to switch between <ON> and <OFF>.
