MP3/WMA

Compression standard for music data based on

the MPEG1 standard.

MP3/WMA browsing

Convenient option that lets you scroll through a

list of all the MP3/WMA titles on a CD-R/CD-RW,

USB stick, portable hard disk or MMC/SD card

without having to interrupt the song currently

playing.

MP3/WMA music on a CD-R/RW

A CD-R/RW can accommodate up to approximately

10 conventional CDs, providing that you burn the

music in MP3/WMA format.

MP3/WMA music on MultimediaCard/SD-Card

Depending on storage capacity, more than 20

hours of MP3/WMA music can be stored on the

MultimediaCard/SD card. It’s not much bigger

than a postage stamp, easy to transport and

versatile to use.

Multipath interference

The radio waves emitted directly by the radio sta-

tion are overlaid with reﬂ ected signals (e.g. from

apartment buildings, mountains, etc.) that are

received with a slight time delay. The Blaupunkt

reception concepts effectively minimize or even

eliminate multipath interference.

 RDS

Navigation (dynamic)

The Trafﬁ c Message Channel is a free service pro-

vided by radio stations; its trafﬁ c information is

continually taken into account when computing

routes. This information permits proactive, dy-

namic trafﬁ c jam avoidance on freeways and

main national roads.

Navigation systems, “TravelPilot”

Active route guidance system for motorists using

speech output and a screen/display. Route guid-

ance is based on navigation software (CD/DVD/

SD-card or preinstalled in internal memory) and

navigation computer (TravelPilot). Locating via

satellite (GPS), speed signal, gyroscope, and data

comparison with the digital map, depending on

the respective system. All TravelPilot navigation

systems are suitable for use and simple installa-

tion in all classes of automobiles.

Portable Navigation Systems

Portable navigation systems can be used quickly

and ﬂ exibly, whether on foot, in your car or in a

rental car. Fast, inexpensive installation (no con-

nection to the speed signal is required), ease of

handling and use, and rapid guidance ensure

straight

forward and convenent road navigation

every time,

all the time.

Radio Navigation Systems

Radio Navigation Systems (1 DIN) are integrated

in the car radio and are controlled via the user-

friendly user interface. You receive understand-

able driving recommendations via the car hi-ﬁ

speakers – even while you are listening to music

– thanks to the corridor function. In addition, in-

formation is provided in the form of arrow sym-

bols or the permanent map display. The multi-

standard drive plays navigation/MP3/WMA/CD-/

CD-ROMs and installation is child’s play thanks

to optional speed signal integration. This ensures

perfect integration without cable salad, adapted

to your cockpit illumination.

Stand-alone navigation systems

On-screen navigation systems consist of a color

monitor (16:9 or 4:3) and a separate navigation

unit for loading the navigation data (DVD or CD).

These systems are suitable for retroﬁ tting in all

vehicle models and classes. Thanks to easy op-

eration, fast pan-European route ﬁ nding, and pre-

cise driving recommendations, drivers can navi-

gate even more conveniently and reliably.

Neodymium tweeter

Tweeter equipped with neodymium magnets. Neo-

dymium has much greater magnetic ﬁ eld strength

than conventional materials and drives speakers

very powerfully despite the relatively small mag-

nets. This makes it possible to design very small

tweeters, which nonetheless produce outstand-

ing sound.

Optimal route

Combination of the fastest and shortest routes.

The navigation system computes the optimal route

between longer, faster freeway routes and short-

er, slower ancillary roads. In addition, you can

also increase or decrease the share (depending

on the system) of faster freeway sections in the

route computation.

OSD On-screen display

The settings menu shown on the screen. To adjust

Blaupunkt products, it is possible to use either

the remote control and/or the buttons directly on

the unit to select the desired menu item and to

alter the corresponding value or perform the cor-

responding function.

Navigation, stand-alone/portable navigation

systems

Picture upload

Permits individualization of the display back-

ground of the car radio with an arbitrary picture

that is transferred to the unit via an SD card or USB

storage medium.

Planar Power Plant

New type of power supply design with particu-

larly high efﬁ ciency. It uses a special transformer

without any wire windings.

Plug&Play connection (ampliﬁ ers)

Makes it easy to connect an ampliﬁ er to an OE car

radio using an optional vehicle-speciﬁ c adapter

cable. Advantage: There’s no need to make any

changes to the vehicle wire harness and all the

cables are cut to measure.

Portable navigation

 Navigation, portable navigation systems

Preamp-Out

Preamp output to control external ampliﬁ ers,

available in either 2-channel or 4-channel ver-

sions. The standard output is 2 volts. To improve

sound quality and the control of external ampli-

ﬁ ers, the top-of-the-line car radios have a maxi-

mum output of up to 5 volts.

Preset equalizer

Equalizer settings that provide ideal frequency

curves at the touch of a button for different

types of music (rock, pop, jazz, techno, speech

and classical).

Radio navigation

 Navigation, Radio Navigation Systems

RDS – Radio Data System

RDS is a service provided by radio stations. In ad-

dition to the usual music and speech programs,

other information is transmitted in the form of

coded digital signals that can be evaluated by the

car radio. The following RDS services are current-

ly available:

Scan

Scans all radio stations within reception range

(Radio Scan), preset station buttons (Preset Scan)

or music titles (CD Scan, CC Scan).

Sensitivity

Measurement for the volume of a speaker at 1 watt

of input, measured at a distance of 1 meter. Sen-

sitivity is measured in dB.

SHARX®

Digital adaptive ﬁ lter designed to optimize chan-

nel separation in the receiver. Even station signals

that are extremely close to one another are se-

parated cleanly. SHARX® is part of the DigiCeiver

and TwinCeiver concepts.

Signal time alignment

Electronically corrects the asymmetrical seating

position in the vehicle by delaying the music

channels so that the sound waves emitted by all

the speakers reach the listener at the same time.

The signal time for the Bremen MP76 can be ad-

justed right down to the last centimeter. It is pos-

sible to select different seating positions.

Silk dome tweeter

Silk dome tweeters use impregnated silk as the

cone material. Silk works with virtually no annoy-

ing resonance of its own and delivers a perfectly

balanced frequency response. The impregnation

process gives the cone material the stability it

requires to handle high power levels.

S/N – Signal/noise ratio

Maximum possible ratio of the music signal to the

basic noise, measured in decibels. The higher the

value, the better the quality of the equipment.

Softkeys

Keys at the side of the car radio display that are

allocated different functions on the display de-

pending on the sound source or the operating

menu, e.g. tuner station keys, CD Mix, Mag Mix,

Scan, AUD Bass, Treble, Balance, Fader, Equalizer

etc.

Sound presets

 Preset equalizer

Source tone memory

The settings for bass/treble can be adjusted sepa-

rately for each sound source to compensate for

differences in sound quality.

SPC (Spun Paper Cone) cone

The SPC cone developed by Blaupunkt is an ex-

tremely sturdy and reliable paper cone. Thanks

to the unique polishing process and the mixture

of nine mineral materials, the mechanical SPC

cone stands apart because of its high degree of

stiffness. The SPC cone is used in the GTb 1200

and GTt 1200.

Speed signal

Impulses from the electronic speedometer/

odometer that are used to measure distances

traveled and for GALA.

Speller, automatic

Entering destinations in Blaupunkt navigation sys-

tems is as easy as can be – you are offered only

those letters that respectively make sense: Non-

existent sequences of letters are simply grayed

out.

Station list (dynamic)

Listing and automatic updating of all the radio

stations within reception range. The advantage:

you no longer need station keys and have access

to all the available stations.

Sub-out

Separate preamp output with preceding low-

pass.

Subsonic ﬁ lter

The subsonic ﬁ lter can be used with an ampliﬁ er

when a subwoofer is connected. It can be set to

protect the subwoofer from mechanical overload

due to low frequencies that cannot be heard by

the human ear. Thus, the subsonic ﬁ lter is able to

increase the power handling and the subjective

maximum sound pressure of the subwoofer.

The subsonic ﬁ lter is used in all output stages

of the THA series and Velocity. A corresponding

adjustable ﬁ lter can be switched on in the

Bremen MP76.

Subwoofer

Additional low bass speaker, which is driven by

an integrated or separate ampliﬁ er with a low-

pass.

AF – Alternative Frequency:

The car radio automatically selects the frequency

with the best reception for the program you are

currently listening to.

EON – Enhanced Other Networks:

When a trafﬁ c announcement (TA) is broadcast,

the radio will automatically switch from a station

that does not transmit trafﬁ c information to one

that does in the same broadcasting network.

M/S – Music/Speech:

In future, a number of radio stations will dif-

ferentiate between music and speech programs.

A separate tone setting (lowering bass and treble)

can be selected (via DSC) for speech programs.

PI Code:

The car radio uses the PI code to identify the radio

station.

PS – Program Service:

Allows the display of the station name.

PTY – Program Type:

A function that is supported by an increasing num-

ber of radio stations, whereby the car radio can

search for stations broadcasting speciﬁ c program

contents (e.g. news, rock, pop, sport, etc.).

RT – Radiotext:

Additional information supplied by the radio sta-

tion on the program (e.g. title of the program,

name of the artist, etc.).

Reading angle (horizontal/vertical)

This describes the range within which the picture

displayed on an LCD monitor can be easily iden-

tiﬁ ed. The values indicated are for the viewing

angle from the side (horizontal) and a vertical

(from above/from below) position (e.g. horizontal

+ 45 degrees/- 45 degrees).

Reinforced seam surround

Subwoofer with a max. power >1000 watts are

subjected to enormous mechanical pressure. The

joint between the surround and the cone in par-

ticular can tear under the strain of continuously

high cone excursion. An extra seam stitched to join

these two components reliably prevents damage

to the speaker.

RP – Release Panel

Effective system of theft protection for car radios

whereby you take part of or the entire front panel

of the radio with you when you leave the vehicle.

The radio will not function without the RP. While

a CD can be directly inserted into the slot in a

regular Release Panel, a button must ﬁ rst be

pressed on the Flip Release Panel to open it by 90°.
