MP3. MP3 is a process developed by
the Fraunhofer Institute for compress-
ing CD audio data. Compression allows
data to be reduced to around 15% of
their original size without a noticeable
loss in quality (at a bit rate of 192 Kbit/
s). If a lower bit rate is used to convert
CD audio data to MP3, you can create
smaller files but there will be a loss of
quality. You can store MP3 files on the
Microdrive™ (hard disk) using the sup-
plied SCM (write-/ read device). For fur-
ther details, please read the chapter en-
titled “Write-/ read device”.
The Blaupunkt editors are constantly
working on making the operating in-
structions clearer and easier to under-
stand. However, if you still have any
questions on how to operate the equip-
ment, please contact your dealer or the
telephone hotline for your country. You
will find the hotline telephone numbers
printed at the back of this booklet.
