P
PDA – Personal Digital Assistant
Small, pocket-sized computer, usually equip-
ped with a touch screen and the Windows CE
or Palm OS operating system.
PP (Polypropylene) cone
The PP cone developed by Blaupunkt is a
solid, reliable cone. Acoustically, it creates a
perfect frequency response and an extremely
pleasant sound in the upper mid-range.
The PP cone is used in all the speakers in the
In Car series as well as the ODsb 5000.
Preamp-Out
Preamp output to control external amplifiers,
available in either 2-channel or 4-channel
versions. A maximum of 3 volts output is
standard. To improve sound quality and the
control of external amplifiers, the top-of-the-
line car radios have a maximum 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).

PWF (Platinum Woven Fiber) cone
The PWF cone is made of a very durable,
woven fibreglass material. Thanks to the cone
fibre, which was specially developed by
Blaupunkt, the PWF cone delivers an optimal
frequency response with first-class resolution
(particularly in the upper mid-range), con-
trolled bass and excellent inner attenuation.
The PWF cone is used for all coaxial (ODx)
and component systems (ODc) in the OD
series.

RDS – Radio Data System
RDS is a service provided by radio stations.
In addition 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 currently available:
AF – Alternative frequency:
The car radio automatically selects the
frequency with the best reception for the
program you are currently listening to.
EON:
When a traffic announcement (TA) is broad-
cast, the radio will automatically switch from
a station that does not transmit traffic infor-
mation to one that does in the same broad-
casting network.
M/S – Music/Speech:
In future, a number of radio stations will
differentiate between music and speech pro-
grams. 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.
The TravelPilot DX-R52’s precise locating
makes sure you arrive safe and sound –
like all Blaupunkt navigation systems, it is
accurate right down to within three
metres.
Entering your destination is incredibly
quick and easy. The intelligent speller
offers you only those letter combinations
that make sense for your input.
And of course there are also a number of
different route options available. You can
select your options so that the system will
calculate your route either with or without
ferry connections, for example.
The TravelPilot navigation system is integrated
into the car radio and controlled using the car
radio keypad. The voice providing the spoken
driving recommendations is emitted via the
hi-fi speakers; symbols appear in the radio
display. The navigation CD is inserted into the
integrated CD/CD-ROM drive.
Neodymium tweeter
Tweeter equipped with neodymium magnets.
Neodymium has much greater magnetic field
strength than conventional materials and
drives speakers very powerfully despite the
relatively small magnets. This makes it
possible to design very small tweeters, which
nonetheless produce outstanding sound.
NTSC (National Television
System Committee)
US-American colour television system. The
colour picture is optically divided into the
three primary colours of red, green and blue
in the TV camera and fed into three TV picture
tubes.
➞ PAL
O
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 but-
tons directly on the unit to select the desired
menu item and to alter the corresponding
value or perform the corresponding function.
PTY – Program Type:
A function that is supported by an increasing
number of radio stations, whereby the car
radio can search for stations broadcasting
specific program contents (e.g. news, rock,
pop, sport, etc.).
RT – Radiotext:
Additional information supplied by the radio
station on the programme (e.g. title of the
programme, name of the artist, etc.).
Reinforced Seam Surround
Subwoofer with a max. power >1000 watts
are subjected to enormous mechanical pres-
sure. The joint between the surround and the
cone in particular can tear under the strain
of continuously high cone excursion. An extra
seam sewn 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.
S
Scan
Scans all radio stations within reception
range (Radio Scan), preset station buttons
(Preset Scan) or music titles (CD Scan, CC
Scan).
Sender 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.
Sensitivity
Measurement for the volume of a speaker
at 1 watt of input, measured at 1 metre’s
distance. Sensitivity is measured in dB.
SHARX®
Digital adaptive filter designed to optimise
channel separation in the receiver. Even stati-
on signals that are extremely close to one
another are separated cleanly. SHARX® is part
of the DigiCeiver and TwinCeiver concepts.
