GENERAL

Thank you for deciding to use a Blaupunkt product. We hope you enjoy using this new piece of equipment. Please read these operating instructions before using the equipment for the first time. The Blaupunkt editors are constantly working on making the operating instructions clearer and easier to understand. However, if you still have any questions on how to operate the equipment, 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. We provide a manufacturer guarantee for our products bought within the European Union. You can view the guarantee conditions at www.blaupunkt.de or ask for them directly at: Blaupunkt GmbH Hotline CM/PSS 6 Robert Bosch Str. 200 D-31139 Hildesheim Germany The COMPACT DRIVE MP3 is an MP3 player that plays MP3 music files stored on the Microdrive (hard disk). CF cards (storage media) are not recognized by the COMPACT DRIVE MP3. MP3 is a process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for compressing 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 supplied SCM (write-/ read device). For further details, please read the chapter entitled Write-/ read device. You can connect the COMPACT DRIVE MP3 Player to many Blaupunkt car radios. For further details, please read the chapter entitled Compatibility with Blaupunkt car radios.

IBM MICRODRIVE

IBM Microdrive

Microdrive (hard disk)

The hard disk can be inserted into and removed from the write-/ read device whilst the computer is switched on.

COMPATIBILITY

Compatibility with Blaupunkt car radios
Our engineers have made it possible to connect the COMPACT DRIVE MP3 Player to the following car radios: q Skyline 2 and future Skyline devices Dallas MD 70, Denver CD 70, Frankfurt C 70, Hamburg CD 70, London CD 70, Madrid C 70, New Orleans CD 70, Orlando MD 70, San Francisco CD 70 q Funline 3 devices (only with CDNaming) and future Funline devices Acapulco CD 51, Casablanca CD 51, Heidelberg CD 51, Palm Beach C 51, Verona C 51 q Navigation devices

Compatibility

Carefully hold and pull the hard
disk between your thumb and index finger out of the protective transportation cover.
Insert the hard drive (with its contact edge foremost) into the write-/ read device. Click it into place with a light press. The hard disk is visible, and data can now be written onto it.
Storing MP3 files in a directory on your hard disk
You can create up to 99 directories. Each of these directories can contain up to 99 music tracks. The maximum number of characters for directory names and track names is 90. Note: MP3 files that are stored in subdirectories and not in directories are not recognized by Compact Drive MP3.
Update DX-R70 / RNS149/150
For the navigation devices DX-R70, RNS 149 and RNS 150, you will need to carry out the following update: Note: The read/write device is installed and the Microdrive is visible as an additional drive (removable disk) in Explorer. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. If the CD-ROM does not start automatically, open the Windows My Computer icon and then open the CDROM drive. Run the Start.html file by double clicking on it. 15
Converting audio files into MP3 files Run the MP3 Software on the
CD-ROM and follow the programs instructions. Tip: You can also use any other standard conversion program.
Now select the language and then
select Updates. The following characters are either incorrectly displayed or not displayed at all. q Funline 3 series: ;:!%&=?#@ q Skyline 2 series: $~^
Please follow the displayed
steps. After copying has completed (approx. 15 seconds), you can remove the Microdrive from the read/write device. Now all you need do is carry out the following three steps on the DX-R70: 1. The DX-R70 and Compact Drive MP 3 must be switched off! 2. Insert the Microdrive. Switch on the DX-R70 and wait for the device to start playing. 3. Switch off the DX-R70. When you switch on the device again, it will be ready to operate. You can now change MP3 directories using the display buttons on the right that are located next to the new up / down display text. The up/down rocker switch is used to change tracks. Note: You should delete the Dxr70.fkp or RNS 149/150.fkp file from the Microdrive. If you delete these files, you will be able to restore the Compact Drive MP3 to its original delivery condition by carrying out the update again using the CLEAR.FKP file. Note: Some devices cannot display the whole character set.

The radio cannot be switched on/off using the remote control. Amplifier All Blaupunkt amplifiers can be used. CD changer The following CD changers can be obtained from accessory retailers for connection with this device: CDC A02, CDC A 08, CDC A 072 und IDC A 09. You can also connect the CDC A 071 CD-changer by using an adapter cable (Blaupunkt no.: 889 093). Compact Drive MP3 As an alternative to a CD changer, you can connect a Compact Drive MP3 to access MP3 music tracks. If you connect a Compact Drive MP3, you will first need to use a computer to store the MP3 music tracks on the Microdrive hard disk inside the Compact Drive MP3. Then, when the Compact Drive MP3 is connected to the car radio, you can play the tracks like normal CD music tracks. The Compact Drive MP3 is operated in the same way as a CD changer. Most of the CD changer functions can also be used with the Compact Drive MP3.

THEFT PROTECTION

Theft protection

Removable control panel

As a way of protecting your car radio against theft, the unit is equipped with a removable control panel (flip-release panel). Without this control panel, the car radio is worthless to a thief. Protect your equipment against theft by taking the control panel with you every time you leave your vehicle. Do not leave the control panel in your vehicle not even in a hiding place. The control panel has been designed to be easy to use. Note: Never drop the control panel. Never expose the control panel to direct sunlight or other heat sources. Store the control panel in the supplied case. Avoid making direct skin contact with the control panels contacts. If necessary, clean the contacts with a lint-free cloth soaked in alcohol.
Detaching the control panel
The control panel latch mechanism opens. In addition to the removable control panel, your car radio is equipped with a KeyCard for added security. The KeyCard is required to activate the unit if the device was disconnected from the car radio power supply (e.g. after installing/removing the device or disconnecting the battery during repair work). Once you have reactivated the device after its power supply was cut, you should remove the KeyCard. Without the KeyCard, the car radio is worthless to a thief. Note: Never store the KeyCard in the vehicle. If you are going on a longer journey, take the KeyCard with you. The KeyCard has been designed to be easy to use and carry around. Inserting the KeyCard To insert the KeyCard in the unit,

Press the

button 2.

MP3 MODE
You can also use this car radio for playing CD-Rs and CD-RWs containing MP3 music files. MP3 is a process developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for compressing CD audio data. Compression allows data to be reduced to around 10% of their original size without a noticeable loss in quality (at a bit rate of 128 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 in quality.
