SAFETY CONCERNS
– 3 –
We always recommend you have your Blaupunkt DVD/MP3 player professionally installed but the installation process is
often so easy that the average consumer can achieve success with little trouble. All operating instructions should be
followed. Regardless of person installing, you should be sure to review the following points before proceeding with the
installation:
■
READ THE MANUAL! Understanding the product and installation limitation before lifting a screwdriver. Follow
Instructions -
■
POWER SOURCES - Make sure to use operate only from the type of power source indicated on the rear panel. For
products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. Do not overload
the power source to prevent a risk of fire or electric shock.
■
POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might
be fatal.
■
POWER CABLE - Make sure to route power cables appropriately so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed upon or against them, paying special attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
■
CLEANING - Disconnect this product from the power source before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth.
■
WATER & MOISTURE - Do not use this product near water.
■
ACCESSORIES - Do not place this product on an unstable object. Any mounting of the product should follow the
manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
■
LIGHTNING - During a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from
the power source prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
■
OBJECT & LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into this product and/or liquid entry to product could result
in a fire or electric shock.
■
SERVICING - Any attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards.
■
DAMAGES REQUIRING SERVICE - Disconnect this product from the power source and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions;
a) Damage to the power cord or plug
b) Water damage
c) Product malfunction or change in performance
d) If the product has been dropped
■
PART REPLACEMENT - Make sure to use the replacement parts specified and/or approved by the manufacturer to
prevent potential fire, electric shock or other hazards. Upon completion of any service or repair, be sure to perform
safety checks by qualified service personnel.
■
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AT ALL TIMES - Flying debris are always dangerous.
■
PROTECT THE VEHICLE - Always disconnect the negative battery cable before starting any kind of installation work.
This prevents a possible high current electrical short (potential fires).
■
HEAT - Keep all products away from nearby hot components such as amplifiers, radiators, heat registers, stoves or
vehicle components that heat up over time such as hoses, high current wires, and braking systems components.
Make sure to leave enough room for ventilation on openings and slots to protect if from over-heating.
■
GIVE YOURSELF LOTS OF TIME - Rushing to complete an installation nearly always ends up with problems.
■
WHILE DRIVING, KEEP EYES ON THE ROAD AND NOT ON THE MONITOR. KEEP THE VOLUME LOW.
Please record the model and serial number located at rear panel.
Model No. Serial No.

KEY FEATURES
1. SUPERB SOUND QUALITY: Dolby Digital system developed by Dolby laboratories and DTS
developed by DTS Inc., features in DVD and audio CD. *Some DVD/MP3 player might not
ready for DTS features.
2. HIGH DEFINITION: The unit adopts MPEG2 coding format and brings the horizontal resolution over 500 lines.
3. UNIQUE FUNCTIONS: Multi-angle and multi-language bring unique functions if your DVD media has capability.
4. COMPATIBILITY: Compatible with most DVD, SVCD (Super Video CD), VCD (Video CD), CD & MP3
formatted disc (see below).
5. ZOOM & ANGLE: Enjoy up to 4 times larger pictures on your monitor.
WHAT IS MP3?
It is the compression technology developed by MPEG (the Moving Picture Experts Group) in 1988. MPEG had
developed a compression system for digital television video data and their accompanying soundtracks. The part of the
MPEG format is MPEG audio Layer-3, abbreviated as MP3. It is a special compression technology to fit in smaller
spaces for example, DVD movies, HDTV broadcasts and DSS satellite systems.
A typical MP3 files is about 1/11 the size of an equivalent CD-audio file. Therefore, about 13 hours of CD-quality songs
can be stored in MP3 format. A CD stores songs as digital information. The data on a CD uses a high-resolution,
uncompressed format. Music's analog waveform on digital media (CDs and CD-Rs) is sampled 44,100 times per
second (44.1KHz). The samples are 2 bytes (16 bits) long, and there are 2 separate channels for left and right speakers
for stereo sound. Thus, CD stores 1,411,200 bits per second. (44,100 samples/second x 16 bits/sample x 2 channels)
1.4 million bit per second is 176,400 bytes per second. If an average music is 3 minutes long, music consumes about
32Mbytes of space on CD. An audio CD has a capacity of 654.7 MB, and can store up to 74 minutes of music. The
most common bit rate for MP3 is 128,000 bits per second (128K), which produces very close to CD-quality sound,
1,411,200 bits per second. Now, you see a tremendous space reduction to 9 percent. The more bit rate is the better
sound quality, but more space to store.
NOTE on MP3: For high quality sound, we recommend converting MP3 files with sampling frequency of 44.1KHz and a
fixed bit rate of 128kpbs. Note that the unit may not play tracks in the order that you record them to the disc.

Before disassembling your beautiful new car you need some basic installation knowledge and skill with common hand
and power tools. Following such basic installation tips and warnings will prevent possible damage to the vehicle and also
prevent possible fires.
■
AGAIN...READ THE MANUAL! There is a lot of helpful information in this manual that will save time and prevent
problems later.
■
COVER THE VEHICLE WORK AREAS - Use fender covers or blankets to protect the work areas from scratches or dings.
■
DISCONNECT THE (-) LEAD ON THE BATTERY - No sparks or fires please!
■
"REVIEW" THE INSTALLATION - Before using any tools or moving vehicle components, take five minutes to review the
installation intentions.
■
"REVIEW" THE VEHICLE - Before drilling any holes or cutting into any surfaces, make sure there are no fuel or hydraulic
lines behind the surfaces. Also make sure there are no wires routed directly behind or near the desired mounting.
■
ENSURE PROPER FIT - Before cutting or drilling, make sure the DVD/MP3 player will physically fit in its desired location.
Check for clearance around rear deck torsion bars or other structural elements.
■
EVERY CAR IS ASSEMBLED DIFFERENT - Every auto manufacturer uses different assembly techniques. Take care in
removing/modifying all trim panels and mounting surfaces since they often use unique screws or snap fasteners that are
difficult to replace if they are lost or broken.
■
BE CAREFUL WITH CABLE ROUTING - When routing audio cables, make sure RCA and speaker wires are routed away
from high current power lines for audio amplifiers and vehicle systems lines when possible. This will help prevent noises
from creeping into the audio system, plus prevent potential damage to the vehicle wiring itself.
■
BE CAREFUL WITH ALL CONNECTIONS - When making connections, make sure each connection is clean and properly
secured. Observe all polarity markings carefully to ensure proper end performance.
■
CAUTION - FUEL TANKS AND FUEL LINES ARE NOW LOCATED DIRECTLY BENEATH THE REAR DECK IN MANY
CARS - CHECK FOR ADEQUATE CLEARANCE BEFORE EVEN CONSIDERING SUCH A MOUNTING LOCATION!
INSTALLATION WARNINGS!
For most installations, simple hand tools are adequate to install an aftermarket products. Depending upon the mounting
locations used, you will need power tools for drilling and cutting plastics and metal. A good starting list is summarized below:
■
Tape measure and ruler
■
Marking pen and starting punch
■
Phillips and flat blade screwdrivers (small and medium sizes)
■
Nylon wire bundle ties
■
Pliers: standard vice-grip and needle nose styles
■
Light-duty trim pry-bar for removing door trim
■
Cutting shears or nibbling tool for cutting thin and medium gauger metal
■
Wire cutters, wire strippers, electrical tape, crimping pliers and appropriate crimp-on terminals
■
Power drill with appropriate sized drill bits
