Thank you for deciding to use a Blaupunkt
product. We hope you enjoy using this new
piece of equipment.
Before using the device for the first time,
please read these operating instructions. The
Blaupunkt editors are constantly working on
making the operating instructions clearer and
easier to understand. However, if you still
have any questions on how to operate the
unit please contact your dealer or the telephone hotline for your country. You will find
the hotline telephone numbers printed at the
back of this booklet.
Road safety
Road safety has the first priority. Only
make adjustments to your car radio when
the traffic conditions allow . Familiarise yourself with the device before you start driving.
You must be able to hear audible alarms
from police vehicles, fire engines or ambulances promptly when inside the vehicle. Y ou must therefore listen at an appropriate volume when travelling.
Fitting
If you want to fit your car radio yourself, read
the fitting and connecting notes at the end of
the guide.
Accessories
Only use accessories approved by Blaupunkt.
Remote control
The optional RC 10, RC 10 H, and RC 08
remote controls allow you to control your car
radio’s basic functions safely and conveniently.
Amplifier
Any Blaupunkt amplifier can be used.
CD changer
The following Blaupunkt CD changers can be
connected:
CDC A 06, CDC A 08, CDC A 072 and IDC
A 09.
If an adapter cable is used (Blaupunkt No.
7 607 889 093) the CDC A 05 or CDC A 071
CD changers can also be connected.
Microdrive™ player
As an alternative to a CD changer, you can
also connect a Compact Drive MP3 player in
order to access additional MP3 tracks. In the
case of the Compact Drive MP3, you first use
a computer to store the MP3 tracks on the
Microdrive™ hard disk of the Compact Drive
MP3, and then, when the Compact Drive MP3
is connected to the car radio, you can play
the tracks like normal CD tracks.

MP3 MODE
MP3 mode
On the Los Angeles MP71 you can also play
CD-Rs containing MP3 music files.
MP3 is a process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for compressing CD audio data.
Compression allows data to be reduced to
around 10% of their original size without a
noticeable loss in quality (at a bit rate of 128
Kbit/s). If a lower bit rate is used to convert
CD audio data to MP3, you can create smaller files but there will be a loss of quality.
Preparing the MP3 CD
The various combinations of CD burners, CD
burning software and CD blanks may lead to
problems arising with the ability to play certain CDs. If problems occur with your own
burned CDs, you should try another brand of
CD blank or choose another blank colour.
Best results are achieved with CD blanks that
provide 74 minutes of playing time.
The format of the CD must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or Level 2. 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.
In order to avoid overly long access times,
you should not create more than 20 directories on any MP3-CD that you want to play on
the Los Angeles MP71 (though a maximum
of 127 directories are technically possible).
These directories can be individually selected on the Los Angeles MP71.
Each directory can contain up to 254 tracks
and subdirectories, which can also be selected. A maximum of 8 levels of directories are
allowed.
20
Fig. 1Fig. 2
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).
Each track can be named using the PC. The
directory name can be displayed in the Los
Angeles MP71’s display. Name the directories and tracks using your CD burner software.
The software’s operating instructions will provide details on how to do this.
Note:
● When naming directories and tracks you
should avoid using 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 can also
sort the files manually. To do so, you should
MP3 MODE
place a number (e.g. “001”, “002”, etc.) before each file name – the leading zeros must
also be included.
Each track can be given a name (ID tag). The
track’s name can also be shown in the display.
When creating (encoding) MP3 files from the
audio files, you should use bit rates up to a
maximum of 256 kB/sec.
Only MP3 files with the “.MP3” file extension
can be played on the Los Angeles MP71.
Note:
To ensure uninterrupted playback,
● do not change the file extension to
“.MP3” of any files other than MP3 files
and then attempt to play them!
● Do not use “mixed” CDs containing non-
MP3 data and MP3 tracks.
● Do not use mix mode CDs containing
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 and inserting a CD” in the “CD mode”
chapter .

can be emphasised or reduced (with a gain
of +8 to -8 dB).
The following filters are available:
● LOW EQ32 - 200 Hz
● MID EQ250 - 1,600 Hz
● HIGH EQ2,000 - 12,500 Hz
These filters can be set without using any
measuring instruments. It allows the sound
properties in the vehicle to be significantly
affected.
Adjustment instructions
When setting the equalizer, we recommend
you use a CD, cassette or MiniDisc (depending on your car radio) which you are familiar
with.
Before making any adjustments to the equalizer zero the tone settings and deactivate the
loudness. For more information, read the section on “Tone and volume”.
➮ Listen to a CD, tape cassette or Mini-
Disc (according to how the radio is
equipped).
