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.  
MP3, WMA  
MP3 and WMA are audio data for-  
mats that allow for high compres-  
sion with little loss in quality.  
EON – Enhanced Other Network  
Playlist  
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.  
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.  
PTY – Program Type  
The device searches only for sta-  
tions with preselectable program-  
me content (e.g. news, rock, pop,  
sports, etc.)

RDS – Radio Data System  
TA – Traffic Announcement  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Your device has a TMC output,  
which you can use for connect-  
ing Blaupunkt navigation systems.  
Please contact your authorised  
Blaupunkt dealer for additional  
information.  
The disadvantage is that the sta-  
tion may not be received without  
interferences.
