Thank you for deciding to use a Veloci-
ty product. We hope you enjoy using
this new piece of equipment.
Before using the device for the first time,
please read these operating instruc-
tions. The Velocity-Blaupunkt editors are
constantly working on making the op-
erating instructions clearer and easier
to understand. However, if you still have
any questions on how to operate the unit
please contact your dealer or the tele-
phone hotline for your country. You will
find the hotline telephone numbers print-
ed at the back of this booklet.
Road safety
Road safety has absolute prior-
ity. Only operate the unit if the road
and traffic conditions allow you to do
so. Familiarise yourself with the unit
before setting off on your journey.
When inside your vehicle, you should
always be able hear police, fire fight-
er and ambulance sirens in time. For
this reason, set the volume of what-
ever you are listening to to a reason-
able level.
Note: If the unit is connected to a
car radio, the volume control of the
VDP 01-MP3 should only be used
once to adjust the level between the
tuner and the VDP 01-MP3. Retract
the knob into the unit after you have
made your adjustments.
The reason for this is that large vol-
ume differences will occur when
switching from the tuner to the VDP
01-MP3 if the level on the VDP 01-
MP3 was subsequently increased.
GENERAL
The VDP 01-MP3 is an MP3 player in-
corporating a digital sound processing
(DSP) system and an equalizer for play-
ing MP3 music files stored on Multime-
dia-Cards (MMC).
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 orig-
inal 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 au-
dio data to MP3, you can create small-
er files but there will be a slight loss of
quality.
The VDP 01-MP3 comes supplied with
an MMC that has a capacity of 32 MB.
You can record MP3 files onto MMCs
using the optional MMC Driver 01. For
further details, read the MMC DRIVER’s
operating instructions.
The VDP 01-MP3 can be directly con-
nected to a car radio equipped with a
line input (AUX) or can be connected to
an amplifier.
You also have the option of connecting
up to three external audio sources to
the AUX inputs of the VDP 01-MP3. The
audio signals supplied by the devices
connected to the AUX inputs can be op-
timised using the digital sound process-
ing system and the equalizer.
