Our take on the Blaupunkt MP3000

You want a Blaupunkt, but you rock with MP3s? Say no more! The MP3000 CD receiver plays MP3 files plus Windows Media Audio (WMA) files stored on a CD-R or CD-RW. For easy identification, the blue and white display scrolls MP3 text information (ID3 tags). Not sure where you saved your favorite song? No problem — use the file/folder search function to locate it quickly.

Of course, the MP3000 will also play your prerecorded CDs, and its sensitive ORC V tuner will make a believer out of AM/FM fans. The built-in amp has plenty of power (23 watts RMS/47 peak x 4) for most situations — if you want some extra punch, you'll find a set of preamp outputs for connection to an external amplifier. The MP3000 also has an auxiliary input for plugging in a portable cassette deck, an MD player, or a "plug and play" satellite radio tuner. An optional wireless remote is available.

Display/Button Illumination: This unit has a negative blue display with white indicators. The buttons are backlit with red illumination.

Level Meter Displays: There is a channel level meter along the left portion of the display. You may select from four meter patterns, or you may turn the meter display off.

Source Tone Memory: Each source (AM/FM/CD) can store its own bass and treble levels.

Selectable Maximum Turn-on Volume: You may set the maximum volume level that will be active when the unit is turned on. Once you've set the maximum turn on volume into memory, you won't have to worry about being overpowered by an unexpected, high-volume blast of output when you turn the unit on.  

X-Bass Bass Boost: The X-Bass feature boosts bass response, centered at 72Hz, for more dynamic sound. You may select from four levels of boost, or you may turn the X-Bass feature off.

Station Naming: You can enter names of up to 12 characters each for up to 30 radio stations.

Station Call: Once you've entered names for radio stations, you may search for and select stations by name.

Ignition-off Clock Recall: When the ignition is off, the clock can be displayed for 5 seconds by pressing the display button.

Turn On/Off Messages: When you turn on the unit, "Blaupunkt MP3 - I Want My MP3!" scrolls across the display. When you turn off the unit, "Bye-Bye" scrolls across the display. You may edit the four on/off messages, so messages of your choice are displayed. Each customized message can be up to 12 characters in length.

Auxiliary Input: Stereo RCA jacks on the back of the unit are provided to allow the connection of a portable audio source. Just connect your portable cassette, MD or MP3 player to this unit, and you can listen to the audio from the portable player through the speakers in your mobile audio system.

Optional Wireless Remote: This unit is compatible with the optional RC823 wireless remote.

Illumination/Clock Display Note

Display Illumination/Clock Display: The clock display and display illumination may be set to turn on with the ignition, or you may configure the unit so the clock and display illumination are active only when the unit is on. When your vehicle has no accessory position on the ignition switch and both power wires of the radio are connected to constant power, the unit should be set so the clock and illumination only display when the unit is on.
