Theft protection, KeyCard

Your radio comes with two KeyCards.

DSA - Digital Sound Adjustment

This unit is equipped with a digital sound-adjustment system. This consists of three self-aligning, adaptable 7-band equalisers, a dynamic noise covering system (DNC) and five sound presets.

The three 7-band equalisers (EQ1 - EQ3) are each allocated two channels (left and right). The equalisers EQ1 - EQ3 can be automatically lined up with the aid of the microphone supplied. The automatically read values can also be altered manually. You also have the option of setting the equalisers manually.

Switching DSA on/off

To switch the equaliser off,

→ press the DSA button ⑥.

The setting last selected appears on the display.

→ Press the < button ⑦.

"DSA OFF" appears on the display.

Press the DSA button ⑥. The settings are now stored.

→ press the DSA button ⑥.

"DSA ON" appears on the display.

→ Press the > button ⑦.

The setting last selected appears on the display before the equaliser is switched off.

→ Press the DSA button ⑥. The settings are now stored.

Lining up the equaliser automatically

You can line up the equalisers electronically for three different situations, and store these settings, e.g.:

EQ 1 for the driver alone

EQ 2 for the driver and front passenger

EQ 3 for car occupants in front and back.

Hold the microphone in the appropriate position during line-up.

The position of the microphone for situation 1 (example, driver alone) is directly on a level with the driver's head.

For situation 2, the microphone is between the driver and the front passenger.

For situation 3, the microphone should be in the middle of the vehicle interior (left/right, front/back).

It is a good idea to look for really peaceful surroundings for lining up the system. Outside noises may distort the readings.

Note:

Output from the loudspeakers should not be impaired by objects. All loudspeakers must be connected up. The microphone must be connected to the car radio. Please line up the equaliser before you line up DNC.

To line up an equaliser,

→ press the DSA button ⑥;

→ select the desired equaliser using the Y / Button ⑦;

→ press the soft key ④ with the display allocation “AUTO”;

A countdown starts on the display. During this time, you have the opportunity to position the microphone. Lining up then takes place when the countdown is over.

→ Proceed in the same way with all the equalisers.

Selecting an equaliser

After automatic or manual line-up,

→ press the DSA button ⑥;

→ select one of the equalisers EQ1, EQ2 or EQ3 using the ¥ / 📄utton ⑦;

→ press the OK button ⑤.

We recommend you use a CD you are familiar with when adjusting the equaliser.

Before adjusting the equaliser, set the tone and volume balance to zero and deactivate the loudness function. To do this, please see the chapter "Audio settings".

Listen to a CD.
→ Evaluate the tone impression according to your taste.
Now consult the chart “An aid to adjusting the equaliser” under “Sound impression”.
Set the equaliser values as described under "What to do".

Programming the settings

Press the DSA button ⑥.
Select one of the equalisers EQ1, EQ2 or EQ3 using the Y or A button ⑦.

DNC - Dynamic Noise Covering

Dynamic Noise Covering – masking of vehicle noise.

When your vehicle is in motion, the DNC system raises the radio volume to the volume you consider pleasant when your vehicle is stationary.

The volume is raised depending upon frequency ranges and noise development inside the vehicle.

As a result, volume and sound remain agreeable even when vehicle noise changes. Short-term noises, such as those arising when you cross a railway track, are not taken into account.

Lining up DNC

For operation to suit your vehicle, the system must be lined up using the special microphone. Please do not line up DNC until you have aligned the hifi. The microphone should be permanently mounted near to the console using the self-adhesive tape provided, however not in the leg area, in resounding places or near the fan/heater vents.

The microphone mouthpiece should point towards the passenger area. It is best to line up the system in a quiet place with the engine switched off.

TMC for dynamic navigation systems

TMC denotes “Traffic Message Channel”. Traffic announcements are transmitted digitally via TMC and can therefore be used by suitable navigation systems for route planning. Your car radio has one TMC output for connection to Blaupunkt navigation systems. Your Blaupunkt dealer will tell you which navigation systems can be used with your car radio. When a navigation system is connected and a TMC station received, “TMC” lights up on the display.

Pre-amplifiers

External pre-amplifiers and a subwoofer can be connected via the appropriate lines of your car radio.

We recommend the use of matching products from the Blaupunkt or Velocity ranges.

Switch-on delay for external pre-amplifier

You can define a switch-on delay for pre-amplifiers connected to the pre-amp output line. The switch-on delay can be set at between 250 ms ("DELAY 1") to 2.25 seconds ("DELAY 9").

Subout/subwoofer

High-pass filter

Setting the high-pass filter

If a subwoofer is connected to your car radio, you can use a high-pass filter (HP-F) to suppress the output of lower frequencies through the internal final amplifier and an external pre-amplifier that may be connected. This filter has five adjustment levels. The settings depend on the unit installed in your car. Experiment to find your ideal setting.

Instead of the CD changer, you can also connect up a different external audio source with a line output. Such sources can be, for example, portable CD players, MiniDisc players or MP3 players.

The AUX output has to be switched on in the install menu.

To connect up an external audio source, you will need an adapter cable, obtainable from any Blaupunkt dealer.
