Road safety
Road safety has absolute priority. Only operate your car sound
system if the road and traffic conditions allow you to do so. Familiarise yourself with the device before
setting off on your journey.
You should always be able to hear
police, fire and ambulance sirens in
good time from inside your vehicle.
For this reason, listen to your car
sound system at a suitable volume
level during your journey.
Safety notice
The car sound system and the
device’s control panel (flip-release
panel) heat up during use.
Therefore, when removing the fliprelease panel, only hold it by its nonmetallic surfaces. Allow the car
sound system to cool down first if
you want to uninstall the whole unit.
Installation
If you want to install your car sound
system yourself, please read the installation and connection instructions that
follow these operating instructions.
Accessories
Only use accessories approved by
Blaupunkt.
Remote control

CD changers
You can obtain the following CD changers from accessory retailers for connection to this device: CDC A 03, CDC
A 08 and IDC A 09.
Compact Drive MP3
You can connect the Compact Drive
MP3 instead of a CD-changer in order
to play MP3 music tracks. If you decide to connect a Compact Drive MP3,
you will first need to use a computer to
store the MP3 music tracks on the
Microdrive™ hard disk that is inside the
Compact Drive MP3. Then, when the
Compact Drive MP3 is connected to
the car sound system, you can play the
tracks like normal CD music tracks.
The Compact Drive MP3 is operated
in a similar way to a CD-changer. Most
of the CD-changer functions can also
be used with the Compact Drive MP3.

provide traffic reports to the appropriate traffic information station within the
broadcasting network that does. Once
the traffic report has been played, the
system will switch back to the programme that you were listening to before.

MP3 mode
You can also use this car sound system to play CD-Rs and CD-RWs that
contain MP3 music files.
Preparing an MP3-CD
The various combinations of CD burners, CD burning software and CD
blanks may lead to problems arising
with the device’s ability to play certain
CDs. If problems occur with your own
burned CDs, you should try another
brand of CD blank or choose another
colour of CD blank.
The format of the CD must be ISO 9660
Level 1 or Level 2 or Joliet. Other formats cannot be played reliably.
Avoid multi-sessions. If you write more
than one session to the CD, only the
first session will be detected.
You can create a maximum of 127 directories on a CD. You can use this
device to access each of these directories.
Each directory can in turn contain up
to 254 tracks and subdirectories that
can also be accessed. A maximum of
8 levels of directories are allowed.
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).
You can name each directory using a
PC. The device is capable of displaying the directory name. Name the directories and tracks using your CD
burner software. The software’s instruction manual will provide details on
how to do this.
Note:
● When naming directories and
tracks you should avoid using accents and special characters.
If you like your files to be in the correct
order, you should use burner software
that places files in alphanumerical order. 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 name - you must include the leading zeros.
MP3 tracks can contain additional information such as the artist, album and
track names (ID3 tags). This device
can display version 1 ID3 tags.
This device can only play MP3 files that
have the “.MP3” file extension.
Note:
To ensure uninterrupted playback,
● do not try changing the file exten-
sion to “.MP3” of any files other
than MP3 files and then attempt to
play them!
● Do not use “mixed” CDs contain-
ing both non-MP3 data and MP3
tracks.
● Do not use mix-mode CDs con-
taining both audio tracks and MP3
tracks.
Switching to MP3 mode
MP3 mode is activated in the same
way as normal CD mode. For further
details, please read the section entitled “Switching to CD mode / Inserting
a CD” in the “CD mode” chapter.

Equalizer
This device is equipped with a DEQ
Max digital equalizer. It provides you
with three self-calibrating 5-band equalizers and five sound presets.
The EQ1 - EQ3 equalizers can be calibrated automatically with the help of a
special calibration microphone (available as an optional accessory from
specialist retailers). If you like, you can
then adjust the automatically ascertained values manually.
Furthermore, you can also configure
all of the equalizer settings manually.
The following bands are available:
● LOW 120 - 250 Hz
● LOW 220 - 250 Hz
● HIGH 1320 - 20 000 Hz
● HIGH 2320 - 20 000 Hz
● HIGH 3320 - 20 000 Hz
You can adjust the level for one frequency of a band in steps of 25 ranging from -12 dB to +12 dB. In addition,

EQUALIZER
Switching the equalizer on/off
To switch the equalizer on/off,
➮ press and hold down the AUDIO
button : for longer than two seconds.

Automatically calibrating the
equalizer
You can electronically calibrate and
store values for three different situations.
EQ 1 for the driver only
EQ 2 for the driver and front passen-
ger
EQ 3 for the front and rear occupants
Hold the calibration microphone in the
appropriate position whilst calibration
is taking place.
The position of the calibration microphone for situation 1 (e.g. for the driver alone) is at the height of the driver’s
head.
For situation 2, the calibration microphone should be positioned between
the driver and the front passenger.
For Situation 3, it should be placed at
the centre of the vehicle interior (left/
right, front/back).
Really quiet surroundings are required
for the calibration. Any extraneous
noise will distort the measured values.
Note:
● During calibration, the tempera-
ture inside the vehicle must not
exceed 55 °C since this could lead
to falsified measurements.
The sound radiating from the loudspeakers must not be obstructed by
