You can connect one or two antennas  
to the device. If two antennas are con-  
nected (strongly recommended - the  
second antenna is included), you can  
use directional reception when tuning  
into stations in DDA radio mode. Direc-  
tional reception considerably improves  
reception quality in most cases.

press the MENU button 9.  
In static FM radio mode there are four  
memory banks (FM1, FM2, FM3 and  
FMT) at your disposal. You can store  
six stations in each of these memory  
banks. The receiver automatically tunes  
into the best receivable frequency for  
any station that you access from mem-  
ory.

PRE mode (static)  
If you only have one antenna con-  
nected to the device and you con-  
figured it in the setup menu (see  
“Setting the number of antennas”),  
the device uses one tuner to play  
the tuned station while at the same  
time using the second tuner to  
search continuously for the best  
available frequency for the tuned  
station (if the RDS function is acti-  
vated).

RADIO MODE  
DDA digital directional antenna mode Selecting the radio mode  
(static)  
To switch between static and dynamic  
modes,  
If you have two antennas connect-  
ed to the device and configured  
them in the setup menu (see “Set-  
ting the number of antennas”), the  
tuned station will be received in  
DDA radio mode using both anten-  
nas. The TwinCeiver continuously  
analyses the signals from both an-  
tennas and uses them to calculate  
a “clean signal” in order to reduce  
reception interference. This proc-  
ess developed by Blaupunkt has a  
similar effect to using a directional  
antenna. Reception quality is im-  
proved considerably, particularly in  
areas suffering from reception in-  
terference due to reflections off  
buildings and hills, etc. In excep-  
tional cases, for instance if two dif-  
ferent stations are received on the  
same frequency, an undesirable  
effect will be the result. If this is the  
case, you should select dynamic  
radio mode (see “Selecting the ra-  
dio mode” below).

dio mode.

messages that it receives during the two  
hours after it was last switched off. In  
addition, you can set two fixed timers.  
The device records all the traffic mes-

If you like your files to be in the correct  
order, you should use burner software  
that places files in alphanumerical or-  
der. If your software does not provide  
this feature you also have the option of  
sorting the files manually. To do so, you  
should place a number (e.g. “001”,  
“002”, etc.) at the beginning of each file

Since using some burner software can  
lead to inconsistencies in the way items  
are numbered, you should ensure that  
the root directory D01 either contains  
only subdirectories containing tracks  
(Fig. 1) or only tracks (Fig. 2).  
Do not use “mixed” CDs containing  
both non-MP3 data and MP3  
tracks.  
Do not use mix-mode CDs contain-

You can name each directory using a  
PC. The device is capable of displaying  
the directory name. Name the directo-

software. The software’s instruction  
manual will provide details on how to  
do this.  
Switching to MP3 mode  
MP3 mode is activated in the same way  
as normal CD mode. For further details,  
please read the section entitled “Switch-

You can choose between different  
sound effects for your music:  
This ensures that the volume level and

such as when crossing railway tracks,  
are not taken into account.

In order for this feature to work properly  
for your vehicle, you must calibrate it  
using the calibration microphone.  
Please carry out the DNC calibration  
after the DSA calibration. Before carry-  
ing out the calibration, you should per-  
manently attach the calibration micro-  
phone near the console using the sup-  
plied Velcro tape. However, do not place  
it in the footwell, near locations where  
booming sounds can be heard or near  
the ventilation/heating.

Adjusting the subwoofer phase  
Subwoofer and centre  
speaker  
You can connect a subwoofer and a  
centre speaker to this device.  
You can adjust the phase of the sub-  
woofer output to suit your subwoofer.  
The phase setting can be adjusted in  
steps of “45°” to between “-135°” and  
“180°”.  
In order to optimise the sound still fur-  
ther when using a subwoofer and cen-  
tre speaker, you can set a low-pass fil-  
ter for the subwoofer and a high-pass  
filter for the front and rear channels sep-  
arately.

Press the softkey 5 assigned to  
the “SUBOUT” display item.  
Adjusting the subwoofer boost  
level (gain)  
Press the softkey 5 assigned to  
the “PHASE” display item.  
You can set a permanent volume boost/  
reduction level between -6 and +6 for  
the connected subwoofer and therefore  
emphasise or tone down the subwoof-  
er’s bass reproduction. The setting that  
you should select depends on the in-  
stallation position and location of the  
subwoofer in your vehicle. If necessary,  
find out which setting you prefer by try-  
ing out the various settings.  
Move the joystick 8 to switch be-  
tween the available settings.  
When you have finished making your  
changes,  
press the joystick OK 8 or the  
AUDIO button :.  
Setting up the low-pass filter  
You can use the low-pass filter to set a  
frequency up to which the subwoofer  
will work. All the signals above the set  
frequency will be “cut off” and not sent  
to the subwoofer.  
Press the AUDIO button :.  
“AUDIO MENU” appears in the display.  
Press the softkey 5 assigned to  
the “SUBOUT” display item.  
You can choose between the following  
frequencies: “40 Hz”, “50 Hz”, “63 Hz”  
and “100 Hz”. If your subwoofer is fitted  
with a built-in low-pass filter, you can  
also select the “FLAT” setting and thus  
allow all the frequencies to be sent to  
the subwoofer.  
Press the softkey 5 assigned to  
the “GAIN” display item.  
Move the joystick 8 up/right to  
boost the gain or move it down/left  
to reduce the gain.  
When you have finished making your

Setting up the subsonic filter  
To avoid interference due to extremely  
low frequencies, you can set the sub-  
sonic filter to limit the frequency re-  
sponse of the device at the lower end  
of the range. This makes particularly  
good sense if you are using a small sub-  
woofer. If you set up the subsonic filter,  
all the frequencies below the set fre-  
quency will be suppressed. When set-  
ting up the subsonic filter, you should  
base the settings that you choose on  
the specifications of the loudspeakers  
in your vehicle.  
press the joystick OK 8 or the  
AUDIO button :.  
Setting up the centre speaker  
You can select the frequency above  
which you want a connected centre  
speaker to be driven.  
The following frequencies are available:  
“200 Hz”, “400 Hz”, “800 Hz”, “1600 Hz”  
and “3200 Hz”. If you select the “FLAT”  
setting, all the frequencies (including the  
bass) will be reproduced by the centre  
speaker. You should only select this  
setting if your centre speaker has a built-  
in high-pass filter.  
The following frequencies are available:  
“20 Hz”, “25 Hz”, “32 Hz” and “40 Hz”.  
You can also set a quality factor “Q” in  
five steps for the selected frequency:  
“Q1”=0.5, “Q2”=0.7, “Q3”=0.9, “Q4”=1.1  
and “Q5”=1.3.  
Besides the frequency, you can also  
adjust the gain for the centre speaker.  
Press the AUDIO button :.  
“AUDIO MENU” appears in the display.

AMPLIFIER/SUB-OUT  
TMC  
TMC for dynamic navigation Amplifier/sub-out  
systems  
TMC stands for “Traffic Message Chan-  
nel”.  
The car sound system provides connec-  
tions that allow you to connect external  
amplifiers. You can also connect a sub-  
woofer to the device’s integrated low-  
pass filter. In order for this to work, the  
amplifier and subwoofer must be con-  
nected in the manner described in the  
installation instructions. We recommend  
you use well-matched products from the  
Blaupunkt or Velocity product ranges.  
Traffic reports are broadcast digitally  
using TMC, which means they can be  
used by compatible navigation systems  
during route planning. Your car sound  
system has a TMC output, which you  
can use for connecting Blaupunkt nav-  
igation systems. You can find out from  
your Blaupunkt dealer which navigation  
systems can be used with your car  
sound system.  
Switching the internal amplifier
