MP3/WMA
Compression standard for music data based on
the MPEG1 standard.
MP3/WMA browsing
Convenient option that lets you scroll through a
list of all the MP3/WMA titles on a CD-R/CD-RW,
USB stick, portable hard disk or MMC/SD card
without having to interrupt the song currently
playing.
MP3/WMA music on a CD-R/RW
A CD-R/RW can accommodate up to approximately
10 conventional CDs, providing that you burn the
music in MP3/WMA format.
MP3/WMA music on MultimediaCard/SD-Card
Depending on storage capacity, more than 20
hours of MP3/WMA music can be stored on the
MultimediaCard/SD card. It’s not much bigger
than a postage stamp, easy to transport and
versatile to use.
Multipath interference
The radio waves emitted directly by the radio sta-
tion are overlaid with refl ected signals (e.g. from
apartment buildings, mountains, etc.) that are
received with a slight time delay. The Blaupunkt
reception concepts effectively minimize or even
eliminate multipath interference.
DDA
Music/Speech
RDS
Navigation (dynamic)
The Traffi c Message Channel is a free service pro-
vided by radio stations; its traffi c information is
continually taken into account when computing
routes. This information permits proactive, dy-
namic traffi c jam avoidance on freeways and
main national roads.
Navigation systems, “TravelPilot”
Active route guidance system for motorists using
speech output and a screen/display. Route guid-
ance is based on navigation software (CD/DVD/
SD-card or preinstalled in internal memory) and
navigation computer (TravelPilot). Locating via
satellite (GPS), speed signal, gyroscope, and data
comparison with the digital map, depending on
the respective system. All TravelPilot navigation
systems are suitable for use and simple installa-
tion in all classes of automobiles.
Portable Navigation Systems
Portable navigation systems can be used quickly
and fl exibly, whether on foot, in your car or in a
rental car. Fast, inexpensive installation (no con-
nection to the speed signal is required), ease of
handling and use, and rapid guidance ensure
straight
forward and convenent road navigation
every time,
all the time.
Radio Navigation Systems
Radio Navigation Systems (1 DIN) are integrated
in the car radio and are controlled via the user-
friendly user interface. You receive understand-
able driving recommendations via the car hi-fi
speakers – even while you are listening to music
– thanks to the corridor function. In addition, in-
formation is provided in the form of arrow sym-
bols or the permanent map display. The multi-
standard drive plays navigation/MP3/WMA/CD-/
CD-ROMs and installation is child’s play thanks
to optional speed signal integration. This ensures
perfect integration without cable salad, adapted
to your cockpit illumination.
Stand-alone navigation systems
On-screen navigation systems consist of a color
monitor (16:9 or 4:3) and a separate navigation
unit for loading the navigation data (DVD or CD).
These systems are suitable for retrofi tting in all
vehicle models and classes. Thanks to easy op-
eration, fast pan-European route fi nding, and pre-
cise driving recommendations, drivers can navi-
gate even more conveniently and reliably.
Neodymium tweeter
Tweeter equipped with neodymium magnets. Neo-
dymium has much greater magnetic fi eld strength
than conventional materials and drives speakers
very powerfully despite the relatively small mag-
nets. This makes it possible to design very small
tweeters, which nonetheless produce outstand-
ing sound.
Optimal route
Combination of the fastest and shortest routes.
The navigation system computes the optimal route
between longer, faster freeway routes and short-
er, slower ancillary roads. In addition, you can
also increase or decrease the share (depending
on the system) of faster freeway sections in the
route computation.
OSD On-screen display
The settings menu shown on the screen. To adjust
Blaupunkt products, it is possible to use either
the remote control and/or the buttons directly on
the unit to select the desired menu item and to
alter the corresponding value or perform the cor-
responding function.

Navigation, stand-alone/portable navigation
systems
Picture upload
Permits individualization of the display back-
ground of the car radio with an arbitrary picture
that is transferred to the unit via an SD card or USB
storage medium.
Planar Power Plant
New type of power supply design with particu-
larly high effi ciency. It uses a special transformer
without any wire windings.
Plug&Play connection (amplifi ers)
Makes it easy to connect an amplifi er to an OE car
radio using an optional vehicle-specifi c adapter
cable. Advantage: There’s no need to make any
changes to the vehicle wire harness and all the
cables are cut to measure.
Portable navigation
Navigation, portable navigation systems
Preamp-Out
Preamp output to control external amplifi ers,
available in either 2-channel or 4-channel ver-
sions. The standard output is 2 volts. To improve
sound quality and the control of external ampli-
fi ers, the top-of-the-line car radios have a maxi-
mum output of up to 5 volts.
Preset equalizer
Equalizer settings that provide ideal frequency
curves at the touch of a button for different
types of music (rock, pop, jazz, techno, speech
and classical).

RDS – Radio Data System
RDS is a service provided by radio stations. In ad-
dition to the usual music and speech programs,
other information is transmitted in the form of
coded digital signals that can be evaluated by the
car radio. The following RDS services are current-
ly available:
Scan
Scans all radio stations within reception range
(Radio Scan), preset station buttons (Preset Scan)
or music titles (CD Scan, CC Scan).
Sensitivity
Measurement for the volume of a speaker at 1 watt
of input, measured at a distance of 1 meter. Sen-
sitivity is measured in dB.
SHARX®
Digital adaptive fi lter designed to optimize chan-
nel separation in the receiver. Even station signals
that are extremely close to one another are se-
parated cleanly. SHARX® is part of the DigiCeiver
and TwinCeiver concepts.
Signal time alignment
Electronically corrects the asymmetrical seating
position in the vehicle by delaying the music
channels so that the sound waves emitted by all
the speakers reach the listener at the same time.
The signal time for the Bremen MP76 can be ad-
justed right down to the last centimeter. It is pos-
sible to select different seating positions.
Silk dome tweeter
Silk dome tweeters use impregnated silk as the
cone material. Silk works with virtually no annoy-
ing resonance of its own and delivers a perfectly
balanced frequency response. The impregnation
process gives the cone material the stability it
requires to handle high power levels.
S/N – Signal/noise ratio
Maximum possible ratio of the music signal to the
basic noise, measured in decibels. The higher the
value, the better the quality of the equipment.
Softkeys
Keys at the side of the car radio display that are
allocated different functions on the display de-
pending on the sound source or the operating
menu, e.g. tuner station keys, CD Mix, Mag Mix,
Scan, AUD Bass, Treble, Balance, Fader, Equalizer
etc.
Sound presets
Preset equalizer
Source tone memory
The settings for bass/treble can be adjusted sepa-
rately for each sound source to compensate for
differences in sound quality.
SPC (Spun Paper Cone) cone
The SPC cone developed by Blaupunkt is an ex-
tremely sturdy and reliable paper cone. Thanks
to the unique polishing process and the mixture
of nine mineral materials, the mechanical SPC
cone stands apart because of its high degree of
stiffness. The SPC cone is used in the GTb 1200
and GTt 1200.
Speed signal
Impulses from the electronic speedometer/
odometer that are used to measure distances
traveled and for GALA.
Speller, automatic
Entering destinations in Blaupunkt navigation sys-
tems is as easy as can be – you are offered only
those letters that respectively make sense: Non-
existent sequences of letters are simply grayed
out.
Station list (dynamic)
Listing and automatic updating of all the radio
stations within reception range. The advantage:
you no longer need station keys and have access
to all the available stations.
Sub-out
Separate preamp output with preceding low-
pass.
Subsonic fi lter
The subsonic fi lter can be used with an amplifi er
when a subwoofer is connected. It can be set to
protect the subwoofer from mechanical overload
due to low frequencies that cannot be heard by
the human ear. Thus, the subsonic fi lter is able to
increase the power handling and the subjective
maximum sound pressure of the subwoofer.
The subsonic fi lter is used in all output stages
of the THA series and Velocity. A corresponding
adjustable fi lter can be switched on in the
Bremen MP76.
Subwoofer
Additional low bass speaker, which is driven by
an integrated or separate amplifi er with a low-
pass.

AF – Alternative Frequency:
The car radio automatically selects the frequency
with the best reception for the program you are
currently listening to.
EON – Enhanced Other Networks:
When a traffi c announcement (TA) is broadcast,
the radio will automatically switch from a station
that does not transmit traffi c information to one
that does in the same broadcasting network.
M/S – Music/Speech:
In future, a number of radio stations will dif-
ferentiate between music and speech programs.
A separate tone setting (lowering bass and treble)
can be selected (via DSC) for speech programs.
PI Code:
The car radio uses the PI code to identify the radio
station.
PS – Program Service:
Allows the display of the station name.
PTY – Program Type:
A function that is supported by an increasing num-
ber of radio stations, whereby the car radio can
search for stations broadcasting specifi c program
contents (e.g. news, rock, pop, sport, etc.).
RT – Radiotext:
Additional information supplied by the radio sta-
tion on the program (e.g. title of the program,
name of the artist, etc.).
Reading angle (horizontal/vertical)
This describes the range within which the picture
displayed on an LCD monitor can be easily iden-
tifi ed. The values indicated are for the viewing
angle from the side (horizontal) and a vertical
(from above/from below) position (e.g. horizontal
+ 45 degrees/- 45 degrees).
Reinforced seam surround
Subwoofer with a max. power >1000 watts are
subjected to enormous mechanical pressure. The
joint between the surround and the cone in par-
ticular can tear under the strain of continuously
high cone excursion. An extra seam stitched to join
these two components reliably prevents damage
to the speaker.
RP – Release Panel
Effective system of theft protection for car radios
whereby you take part of or the entire front panel
of the radio with you when you leave the vehicle.
The radio will not function without the RP. While
a CD can be directly inserted into the slot in a
regular Release Panel, a button must fi rst be
pressed on the Flip Release Panel to open it by 90°.
