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!
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).
➮ Do not use “mixed” CDs containing
both non-MP3 data and MP3
tracks.
➮ Do not use mix-mode CDs contain-
ing both audio tracks and MP3
tracks.
You can name each directory using a
PC. The device is capable of displaying
the directory name. Name the directo-
ries and tracks using your CD burner
software. The software’s instruction
manual will provide details on how to
do this.
Switching to MP3 mode
MP3 mode is activated in the same way
as normal CD mode. For further details,
please read the section entitled “Switch-
ing to CD mode / Inserting a CD” in the
“CD mode” chapter.
Note:
➮ When naming directories and
tracks you should avoid using ac-
cents and special characters.

You can connect a subwoofer and a
centre speaker to this device.
You can adjust the phase of the sub-
woofer output to suit your subwoofer.
The phase setting can be adjusted in
steps of “45°” to between “-135°” and
“180°”.
In order to optimise the sound still fur-
ther when using a subwoofer and cen-
tre speaker, you can set a low-pass fil-
ter for the subwoofer and a high-pass
filter for the front and rear channels sep-
arately.

the connected subwoofer and therefore
emphasise or tone down the subwoof-
er’s bass reproduction. The setting that
you should select depends on the in-
stallation position and location of the
subwoofer in your vehicle. If necessary,
find out which setting you prefer by try-
ing out the various settings.
➮ Move the joystick 8 to switch be-
tween the available settings.
When you have finished making your
changes,
➮ press the joystick OK 8 or the

Setting up the subsonic filter
To avoid interference due to extremely
low frequencies, you can set the sub-
sonic filter to limit the frequency re-
sponse of the device at the lower end
of the range. This makes particularly
good sense if you are using a small sub-
woofer. If you set up the subsonic filter,
all the frequencies below the set fre-
quency will be suppressed. When set-
ting up the subsonic filter, you should
base the settings that you choose on
the specifications of the loudspeakers
in your vehicle.

and “3200 Hz”. If you select the “FLAT”
setting, all the frequencies (including the
bass) will be reproduced by the centre
speaker. You should only select this
setting if your centre speaker has a built-
in high-pass filter.
The following frequencies are available:
“20 Hz”, “25 Hz”, “32 Hz” and “40 Hz”.
You can also set a quality factor “Q” in
five steps for the selected frequency:
“Q1”=0.5, “Q2”=0.7, “Q3”=0.9, “Q4”=1.1
and “Q5”=1.3.
Besides the frequency, you can also
adjust the gain for the centre speaker.

AMPLIFIER/SUB-OUT
TMC
TMC for dynamic navigation Amplifier/sub-out
systems
TMC stands for “Traffic Message Chan-
nel”.
The car sound system provides connec-
tions that allow you to connect external
amplifiers. You can also connect a sub-
woofer to the device’s integrated low-
pass filter. In order for this to work, the
amplifier and subwoofer must be con-
nected in the manner described in the
installation instructions. We recommend
you use well-matched products from the
Blaupunkt or Velocity product ranges.
Traffic reports are broadcast digitally
using TMC, which means they can be
used by compatible navigation systems
during route planning. Your car sound
system has a TMC output, which you
can use for connecting Blaupunkt nav-
igation systems. You can find out from
your Blaupunkt dealer which navigation
systems can be used with your car
sound system.
