Congratulations! You are the now the owner of an exceptional in-car (12VDC) & home (110VAC) DVD/MP3 player from
the audio and video enthusiasts at Blaupunkt. Not only do we offer you a great product but also a supportive owner's
manual. Although technically informative, we are also are very concerned about the end consumer using proper
installation techniques for the highest performance possible from their new in-car & home DVD/MP3 player. Most
important to us are concerns with safety and the installation process. Since our Blaupunkt retail dealers have the tools
and experience for an optimized and safe installation, we always recommend they do the final vehicle integration. But,
should you choose to install these products yourself, please take the time to read this manual completely and abide by
all precautions.
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING BLAUPUNKT!

WHAT IS MP3?
It is the compression technology developed by MPEG (the Moving Picture Experts Group) in 1988. MPEG had
developed a compression system for digital television video data and their accompanying soundtracks. The part of the
MPEG format is MPEG audio Layer-3, abbreviated as MP3. It is a special compression technology to fit in smaller
spaces for example, DVD movies, HDTV broadcasts and DSS satellite systems.
A typical MP3 files is about 1/11 the size of an equivalent CD-audio file. Therefore, about 13 hours of CD-quality songs
can be stored in MP3 format. A CD stores songs as digital information. The data on a CD uses a high-resolution,
uncompressed format. Music's analog waveform on digital media (CDs and CD-Rs) is sampled 44,100 times per
second (44.1KHz). The samples are 2 bytes (16 bits) long, and there are 2 separate channels for left and right speakers
for stereo sound. Thus, CD stores 1,411,200 bits per second. (44,100 samples/second x 16 bits/sample x 2 channels)
1.4 million bit per second is 176,400 bytes per second. If an average music is 3 minutes long, music consumes about
32Mbytes of space on CD. An audio CD has a capacity of 654.7 MB, and can store up to 74 minutes of music. The
most common bit rate for MP3 is 128,000 bits per second (128K), which produces very close to CD-quality sound,
1,411,200 bits per second. Now, you see a tremendous space reduction to 9 percent. The more bit rate is the better
sound quality, but more space to store.
NOTE on MP3: For high quality sound, we recommend converting MP3 files with sampling frequency of 44.1KHz and a
fixed bit rate of 128kpbs. Note that the unit may not play tracks in the order that you record them to the disc.
