I noticed the same tuner oddity as the other reviewer, sometimes it starts trying to tune in the even freqencies (93.2, 93.4) instead of the odd frequencies (93.1, 93.3, etc).
I *love* the SD card, that is the reason I bought this unit. It will remember the exact spot in the song that it was playing the last time you left off.
My only complaints:
- The “blue point” is pretty bright and cannot be dimmed.
- You can change the color of the main display, but not the color of the “blue point” or the other controls on the faceplate, which is always red.
I bought this unit for the SD card reader. I’m kind of amazed how few units have this feature, considering that it is tailor made for mobile audio.
GOOD: SD CARD READER-I live on a bumpy dirt road-no skips, ever! And I can put a dozen CDs on a $10 2 gig card in 256k MP3. (Also has aux input
on front. USB cable connects in the rear, so you have to route it
out somewhere).
SOUND QUALITY
PRICE/VALUE
BAD: TUNER is weak (Blaupunkt doesn’t even publish specs for tuner
sensitivity, it is so bad-even the American distributor didn’t know.
If you really dig, you can find them on the Blaupunkt website, but
they use a different measurement than everybody else, I assume
this is to avoid comparison.) If you live in an area of good reception,
you will probably not have a problem. In fringe areas, expect static.
Also, oddly, if you choose “US” type radio frequency allocations, it does not recognize odd frequencies for FM ie 93.5-you have to choose European, and if you do that, AM frequencies are missing. Design flaw?
TONE CONTROLS-I would appreciate a couple of faders on the front, as
tone adjustments are the most frequent thing you want to access
to make up for differences in sources. As it is, you have to scroll
through several menu levels to change the tone – a pain while
driving. That said, the tone circuits are flexible, 3 band, with tunable
Q points, and there is a “mega bass” boost that is easily accessible
from the front……and I do appreciate the volume control, a good old
rotary knob.
CONCLUSION: I don’t know why a company that is known for it’s tuners is
so far behind all the other brands in reception. Other than that, a
pretty cool unit.
