Glossary

Glossary

AF – Alternative frequency

The range of FM stations is limited.
For this reason, FM programmes
are distributed to different fre­quencies. The AF RDS service
sends these frequencies to the
tuner. If the reception deterio­rates because the vehicle leaves
the reception area of a frequency,
the tuner can automatically change
to the best receivable frequency.

DEQmaxEx – Digital parametric
equalizer with variable fi lter
quality

This function allows for a maxi­mum of exact frequency optimisa­tion, so that the sound spectrum
can be adjusted to the vehicle or
your individual taste.

EON – Enhanced Other Network

In case of a traffi c announcement
(TA), the device switches from a
non-traffi c information station to
a traffi c information station of the
same broadcasting network (e.g.
from NDR 3 to NDR 2). After the
traffi c announcement, the system
switches back to the previously
heard programme.

Quality factor Q

It determines the fi lter quality of
the equalizer, i.e. the edge steep­ness and fi lter bandwidth, de­pendent upon the characteristic
frequency.

ID3 tags

ID3 tags contain additional infor­mation for MP3 fi les (e.g. artist,
title, album, genre, year).

Mass storage device

Format for storage media that can
permanently store large amounts
of data, such as USB removable
storage devices (USB stick or USB
hard disk).

MP3, WMA

MP3 and WMA are audio data for­mats that allow for high compres­sion with little loss in quality.

Playlist

Playback list for MP3 or WMA fi les
In playlists, you determine the or­der in which certain titles should
be played. They are created with
an MP3 manager, such as WinAmp
or Windows Media Player.

PTY – Program Type

The device searches only for sta­tions with preselectable program­me content (e.g. news, rock, pop,
sports, etc.)

ENGLISH DEUTSCHFRANÇAISITALIANO

NEDERLANDS

125

Glossary

The device automatically switches
through emergency and disaster
announcements (PTY 31).

RDS – Radio Data System

RDS is a service of the radio sta­tions. Besides the conventional
music and voice contributions,
additional information is broad­cast in the form of encrypted dig­ital signals which can be analysed
by the device.

Note:

The RDS services are not sup­ported by all radio stations!

REG – Regional

Activating the regional service
(REG ON) prevents switching
over to a frequency with better
reception of the adjacent regional
programme. This allows for con­tinuously a regional programme
even in peripheral regions.

The disadvantage is that the sta­tion may not be received without
interferences.

Root directory

Main directory of a data carrier.
The root directory contains all
other directories.

Subwoofer, Subout

Separate low-bass loudspeaker.
The device has a Subout pream­plifi er output. You can connect

either an active subwoofer or a
separate power amplifi er with
subwoofer.

TA – Traffi c Announcement

The device switches traffi c an­nouncements through, even if you
are currently listening to other
sources (e.g. CD, AUX) or the ra­dio is muted.

TMC – Traffi c Message Channel

RDS data service for area-based
traffi c announcements. Digital
traffi c information data channel
with continuously updated data
about the traffi c situation. TMC
receivers allow for a selection of
the data fl ow with respect to di­rection of travel, area or type of
street. With a push of a button,
you have access to the most cur­rent tailor-made information at all
times.

Your device has a TMC output,
which you can use for connect­ing Blaupunkt navigation systems.
Please contact your authorised
Blaupunkt dealer for additional
information.

T-STORE – Travelstore

Automatic searching and storing
of the six strongest radio stations
received of the region.

Tuner

Receiving unit of the radio.

126

Glossary

USB – Universal Serial Bus

USB is an interface for connect­ing external removable storage
devices to the device.

XBASS

XBASS means raising the bass
at low volume. This renders the
sound richer even at a low vol­ume.
