Depending on storage capacity, more than 20 hours of MP3/WMA music can be stored on the MultimediaCard/SD card. It’s not much bigger than a postage stamp, easy to transport and versatile to use.
Multipath interference
The radio waves emitted directly by the radio sta- tion are overlaid with reflected signals (e.g. from apartment buildings, mountains, etc.) that are received with a slight time delay. The Blaupunkt reception concepts effectively minimize or even eliminate multipath interference.

Neodymium tweeter
Tweeter equipped with neodymium magnets. Neo- dymium has much greater magnetic field strength than conventional materials and drives speakers very powerfully despite the relatively small mag- nets. This makes it possible to design very small tweeters, which nonetheless produce outstand- ing sound.

AF – Alternative Frequency:
The car radio automatically selects the frequency with the best reception for the program you are currently listening to.
EON – Enhanced Other Networks:
When a traffic announcement (TA) is broadcast, the radio will automatically switch from a station that does not transmit traffic information to one that does in the same broadcasting network.
M/S – Music/Speech:
In future, a number of radio stations will dif- ferentiate between music and speech programs. A separate tone setting (lowering bass and treble) can be selected (via DSC) for speech programs.
PI Code:
The car radio uses the PI code to identify the radio station.
PS – Program Service:
Allows the display of the station name.
PTY – Program Type:
A function that is supported by an increasing num- ber of radio stations, whereby the car radio can search for stations broadcasting specific program contents (e.g. news, rock, pop, sport, etc.).
RT – Radiotext:
Additional information supplied by the radio sta- tion on the program (e.g. title of the program, name of the artist, etc.).
Reading angle (horizontal/vertical)
This describes the range within which the picture
S
Scan
Scans all radio stations within reception range (Radio Scan), preset station buttons (Preset Scan) or music titles (CD Scan, CC Scan).
Sensitivity
Measurement for the volume of a speaker at 1 watt of input, measured at a distance of 1 meter. Sen- sitivity is measured in dB.
SHARX®
Digital adaptive filter designed to optimize chan- nel separation in the receiver. Even station signals that are extremely close to one another are se- parated cleanly. SHARX® is part of the DigiCeiver and TwinCeiver concepts.

Softkeys
Keys at the side of the car radio display that are allocated different functions on the display de- pending on the sound source or the operating menu, e.g. tuner station keys, CD Mix, Mag Mix, Scan, AUD Bass, Treble, Balance, Fader, Equalizer etc.

The settings for bass/treble can be adjusted sepa- rately for each sound source to compensate for differences in sound quality.
SPC (Spun Paper Cone) cone
The SPC cone developed by Blaupunkt is an ex- tremely sturdy and reliable paper cone. Thanks to the unique polishing process and the mixture of nine mineral materials, the mechanical SPC cone stands apart because of its high degree of stiffness. The SPC cone is used in the GTb 1200 and GTt 1200.

Navigation (dynamic)
The Traffic Message Channel is a free service pro- vided by radio stations; its traffic information is continually taken into account when computing routes. This information permits proactive, dy- namic traffic jam avoidance on freeways and main national roads.

Portable Navigation Systems
Portable navigation systems can be used quickly and flexibly, whether on foot, in your car or in a rental car. Fast, inexpensive installation (no con- nection to the speed signal is required), ease of handling and use, and rapid guidance ensure straightforward and convenent road navigation every time, all the time.

Fastest route
Combination of the fastest and shortest routes. The navigation system computes the optimal route between longer, faster freeway routes and short- er, slower ancillary roads. In addition, you can also increase or decrease the share (depending on the system) of faster freeway sections in the route computation.

RDS – Radio Data System
RDS is a service provided by radio stations. In ad- dition to the usual music and speech programs, other information is transmitted in the form of coded digital signals that can be evaluated by the car radio. The following RDS services are current- ly available:
displayed on an LCD monitor can be easily iden- tified. The values indicated are for the viewing angle from the side (horizontal) and a vertical (from above/from below) position (e.g. horizontal + 45 degrees/- 45 degrees).
Reinforced seam surround
Subwoofer with a max. power >1000 watts are subjected to enormous mechanical pressure. The joint between the surround and the cone in par- ticular can tear under the strain of continuously high cone excursion. An extra seam stitched to join these two components reliably prevents damage to the speaker.
RP – Release Panel
Effective system of theft protection for car radios whereby you take part of or the entire front panel of the radio with you when you leave the vehicle. The radio will not function without the RP. While a CD can be directly inserted into the slot in a regular Release Panel, a button must first be pressed on the Flip Release Panel to open it by 90°.
Electronically corrects the asymmetrical seating position in the vehicle by delaying the music channels so that the sound waves emitted by all the speakers reach the listener at the same time. The signal time for the Bremen MP76 can be ad- justed right down to the last centimeter. It is pos- sible to select different seating positions.
Silk dome tweeter
Silk dome tweeters use impregnated silk as the cone material. Silk works with virtually no annoy- ing resonance of its own and delivers a perfectly balanced frequency response. The impregnation process gives the cone material the stability it requires to handle high power levels.
S/N – Signal/noise ratio
Maximum possible ratio of the music signal to the basic noise, measured in decibels. The higher the value, the better the quality of the equipment.
existent sequences of letters are simply grayed out.
Station list (dynamic)
Listing and automatic updating of all the radio stations within reception range. The advantage: you no longer need station keys and have access to all the available stations.
Sub-out
Separate preamp output with preceding low- pass.
Subsonic filter
The subsonic filter can be used with an amplifier when a subwoofer is connected. It can be set to protect the subwoofer from mechanical overload due to low frequencies that cannot be heard by the human ear. Thus, the subsonic filter is able to increase the power handling and the subjective maximum sound pressure of the subwoofer.
The subsonic filter is used in all output stages of the THA series and Velocity. A corresponding adjustable filter can be switched on in the Bremen MP76.
Subwoofer
Additional low bass speaker, which is driven by an integrated or separate amplifier with a low- pass.
