Glossary
Quality factor Q
Glossary
It determines the filter quality of
the equalizer, i.e. the edge steep-
ness and filter bandwidth, de-
pendent upon the characteristic
frequency.
AF – Alternative frequency
The range of FM stations is limited.
For this reason, FM programmes
are distributed to different fre-
quencies. The AF RDS service
sends these frequencies to the
tuner. If the reception deterio-
rates because the vehicle leaves
the reception area of a frequency,
the tuner can automatically change
to the best receivable frequency.
ID3 tags
ID3 tags contain additional infor-
mation for MP3 files (e.g. artist,
title, album, genre, year).
Mass storage device
Format for storage media that can
permanently store large amounts
of data, such as USB removable
storage devices (USB stick or USB
hard disk).
DEQmaxEx – Digital parametric
equalizer with variable filter
quality
This function allows for a maxi-
mum of exact frequency optimisa-
tion, so that the sound spectrum
can be adjusted to the vehicle or
your individual taste.
MMC/SD card (Multimedia Card/
Secure Digital Card)
MMC/SD cards are memory card
formats that can be inserted in
card slot Dof the device. The de-
vice can play MP3 and WMA files
stored on the memory cards.
EON – Enhanced Other Network
In case of a traffic announcement
(TA), the device switches from a
non-traffic information station to
a traffic information station of the
same broadcasting network (e.g.
from NDR 3 to NDR 2). After the
traffic announcement, the system
switches back to the previously
heard programme.
MP3, WMA
MP3 and WMA are audio data for-
mats that allow for high compres-
sion with little loss in quality.
127
Glossary
Playlist
The disadvantage is that the sta-
tion may not be received without
interferences.
Playback list for MP3 or WMA files
In playlists, you determine the or-
der in which certain titles should
be played. They are created with
an MP3 manager, such as WinAmp
or Windows Media Player.
Root directory
Main directory of a data carrier.
The root directory contains all
other directories.
PTY – Program Type
Subwoofer, Subout
The device searches only for sta-
tions with preselectable program-
me content (e.g. news, rock, pop,
sports, etc.)
Separate low-bass loudspeaker.
The device has a Subout pream-
plifier output. You can connect
either an active subwoofer or a
separate power amplifier with
subwoofer.
The device automatically switches
through emergency and disaster
announcements (PTY 31).
TA – Traffic Announcement
RDS – Radio Data System
The device switches traffic an-
nouncements through, even if you
are currently listening to other
sources (e.g. CD, AUX) or the ra-
dio is muted.
RDS is a service of the radio sta-
tions. Besides the conventional
music and voice contributions,
additional information is broad-
cast in the form of encrypted dig-
ital signals which can be analysed
by the device.
TMC – Traffic Message Channel
RDS data service for area-based
traffic announcements. Digital
traffic information data channel
with continuously updated data
about the traffic situation. TMC
receivers allow for a selection of
the data flow with respect to di-
rection of travel, area or type of
street. With a push of a button,
you have access to the most cur-
rent tailor-made information at all
times.
Note:
The RDS services are not sup-
ported by all radio stations!
REG – Regional
Activating the regional service
(REG ON) prevents switching
over to a frequency with better
reception of the adjacent regional
programme. This allows for con-
tinuously a regional programme
even in peripheral regions.
128
Glossary
Your device has a TMC output,
which you can use for connect-
ing Blaupunkt navigation systems.
