Selecting the operating mode

Enhancing the display legibility

You can select from the Radio (TU), MiniDisc (MD) and CD changer (CDC) modes.

MD can be selected only if a MiniDisc is inserted.

CDC can be selected only if a Blaupunkt A 06, A 072, A 08 or A 05, A 071 or IDC A 09 CD changer is connected and a magazine containing at least one CD is inserted.

Toggling between operating modes:

• Press TU, MD or CDC. If TU is pressed again, menu level 2 is called

up. Radio function adjustments can be made on this level. Menu level 1 is called up automatically if no input is made for approx. eight seconds.

The display can be adjusted to your preferred viewing angle in order to enhance legibility.

Proceed as follows:

• Press DSC. ”ANGLE” appears on the display.

• Use the rocker << >> to select opti- mum legibility for your driving position.

After selecting the setting:

• Press DSC.

Page 16

Radio operation with RDS (Radio Data System)

The Radio Data System provides FM recep- tion with enhanced convenience.

An increasing number of radio stations now broadcast RDS information supplementary to the programme proper.

As soon as stations can be recognized, the station code appears, in some cases with indication of the region, e.g. NDR1 NDS (Niedersachsen).

With RDS, the station keys become programme keys. You now know exactly what station you are receiving, and you can therefore also select the desired station.

RDS offers you further advantages:

AF - alternative frequency

The AF (Alternative Frequency) function en- sures that the best available frequency of the station being received is selected automatically.

Switching AF on/off: During radio mode

• Press TU: menu level 2 is called up.

• Press AF briefly.

This function is active when “AF” is lit in the display.

”AF” then appears in reverse video on the corresponding key.

The radio may be muted briefly during the search for the channel with the best reception.

If “SEARCH” appears on the display when the unit is switched on or when a stored frequency is called up, the unit is automatically searching for an alternative frequency.

”SEARCH” disappears when an alternative frequency has been found, or when the frequency band has been completely searched.

If the station can no longer be received with satisfactory quality:

• Select a different station.

REG Regional

At certain times, the broadcast stations transmit different programme content according to the region. For example, German Radio 1 serves the northern regions Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg and Lower Saxony, and at certain times broadcasts regional programmes which differ in content. If you are listening to a regional programme and wish to continue to receive it, switch to REG ON in the DSC menu. If you are leaving the region in which the regional programme can be received, or if you wish to enjoy the full RDS service, switch to “REG OFF”. Switching REG over:

• Press the DSC key and ly until “REG ON/OFF” appears in the display.

• Press << >> to toggle between REG ON and REG OFF.

• Press DSC to leave the DSC menu and save the settings.

Traffic programme reception with RDS-EON

EON is the exchange of station information within a transmission chain.

Many FM stations transmit up-to-date traffic announcements for their broadcasting region.

Stations which transmit traffic announcements transmit a signal which is recognized and evaluated by your car radio. When such a signal is recognized, “TP” (Traffic Programme) appears in the display.

In addition, some stations transmit no traffic announcements of their own, but offer with RDS-EON the facility of receiving traffic announcements from a traffic programme station within the same transmission chain.

If priority for traffic announcements is to be activated whilst such a station (e.g. NDR3) is being received, “TA” (priority for Traffic Announcements) must appear in the display.

When a traffic announcement is broadcast, the unit switches automatically to the traffic announcement programme (in this case NDR2). The traffic announcement is played, after which the unit switches back to the programme (NDR3) previously selected.

Activating/deactivating priority for traffic programmes

”TA” appears on the display when traffic programme priority is activated.

Activating/deactivating priority:

• Radio mode: Press the TU key again to call up the function menu (not necessary in MD/CDC mode).

• Press the TA softkey (S6).

The function menu of the audio source is called up automatically during a traffic announcement. If the TA softkey is pressed during a traffic announcement, priority is deactivated only for the duration of this particular announcement. The unit switches back to the previous state. Priority remains active for further traffic announcements. A number of keys have no function during a traffic announcement.

Warning tone

Should you leave the broadcast range of a selected traffic announcement programme, a beep sounds as a warning at intervals of approx. 30 seconds. Pressing a station key on which a station without a TP signal is stored also causes a warning tone to sound.

Deactivating the warning tone

Select a different station with the traffic announcement service:

• Press the rocker or

•a station key on which a traffic announcement programme is stored.

or Deactivate traffic programme station priority:

• Press the TA softkey (S6).

Automatic seek run

If you are listening to MDs or CDs and you leave the broadcast range of the selected traffic programme station, the radio automatically looks for a new traffic programme station. If a traffic announcement station is not found within approx. 30 seconds of the start of the seek run, a beep sounds as warning at intervals of 30 seconds. To switch off the warning tone, follow the procedure described above.

Adjusting the volume for traffic announcements and the warning tone

This volume is set in the factory as a default. You can however change it by means of DSC (refer to “Programming with DSC – TA VOL”).

Equalizer setting

The sound in the vehicle is influenced decisively by the acoustic characteristics of the passenger compartment, substantially more than by the characteristics of the loudspeakers.

The position and installation of the loudspeakers and the volume to the rear, for example of the door or parcel shelf, are however also important.

Even when suitable loudspeakers have been selected and installed properly, resonances in the passenger compartment may have a detrimental effect upon the sound.

This can result in the bass frequencies booming or being absent, mid-frequencies encroaching excessively, musical instruments or voices being strongly distorted, or the sound generally being muffled.

The subjective sound impression can be improved considerably by suppression or amplification of certain frequency ranges by the car radio.

This unit is equipped with two parametric filters. The first filter, “LOW EQ”, can be adjusted from 32 to 500 Hz, the second, “HIGH EQ”, from 630 to 10 000 Hz. In this case, parametric means that one frequency can be increased or reduced for each of the two filters (+10 to -20 dB). The bandwidth/quality of the two filters can also be adjusted.

The parametric filters can be adjusted exactly without instruments.

In addition, you can select from seven preprogrammed equalizer settings, which are adjusted for different musical styles. Refer to the “Selecting pre-set sound settings” section.

The steps required for adjustment are described in the table.

Adjustment instructions

The instructions below represent a recommendation only. You can adjust the sound characteristics according to your own personal preference.

We recommend that you use a familiar music MiniDisc for adjustment of the filters. The MiniDisc should include tracks with a range of instruments and voice. Pure electronic music is not suitable for evaluation purposes, since the original sound is not known.

Before adjusting the equalizer, set the bass, treble, balance and fader to “0”.

This setting is described in the condensed instructions under 8 AUD.

Now listen to the MiniDisc with which you are familiar.

Evaluate your impression of the sound according to your taste.

Now read the “Tonal effect/problem” column in the table, and look for solutions under “Measure”.

Use the LOW EQ filter for settings in the bass and lower mid-range, and the HIGH EQ filter for the treble and upper mid-range.

The “HIGH EQ” and “LOW EQ” filters can be adjusted in the DPE menu:

• Press DPE to call up the DPE main menu.

Adjusting the frequency level

• Press / repeatedly until “HIGH EQ” or “LOW EQ” appear in the display.

• Press << or >> once or several times to select the frequency.

• Press

/ once or several times to

adjust the level (GAIN +8 ... GAIN -8).

• Press << or >> once or several times to select a different frequency and to adjust the level accordingly.

• Press DPE or EXIT to save the selected level and to return to the DPE main menu.

• Press DPE or EXIT again to close the DPE menu.
