(However, I do now have one for stock that has been in the back of a few Blau decks over the years.) That said, the New York 800 arrives with every DIN plug imaginable. I have always fretted when I wanted to test the line-out on a Blaupunkt deck and discovered that I didn’t have the right RCA DIN socket-filler. The New York 800 has many of these sockets and all are filled, as there is a panoply of connectivity with AV outputs, reversing camera input and lots of RCAs out to feed to amplification, including a mono LF feed that is subject to an on-board crossover that can be set to 60Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz or a bit more. Where other makers will have RCA cords hanging directly out of the back of the machine, the Blaupunkt will have its RCAs and so forth on leads that finish in smaller chunky DIN plugs that fit into sockets on the back of the headunit’s panel.

– Outputs: Video x 2 CVBS, Pre-amplifier (channels, voltage): 4-channel (2V) plus mono Subwoofer Outīloody hell what an utter beast of a machine! First off, I have to get over the fact that historically as still now, Blaupunkt are the only maker I know to use the full DIN plug-and play wire system on the backs of their headunits. – Signal to Noise Ratio and Dynamic range not quoted – Three band Semi-parametric Equaliser with presets and customisable ‘˜User’ setting – Audio/Video: one front A/V and one rear A/V inputs and reversing-up camera video only input – USB Inputs: Two one Front & one Rear, mass storage device (MSD) iPod Direct control, iPhone: Direct control

– Microphone: Integrated plus rear connector wired remote microphone and two clips also supplied

– Display: 6.2in digital touch screen display 800 x 480 pixels (384,000) – Media player reads: MP3, WMA, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, JPEG, DivX, Xvid playback – Will Play: DVD: DVD-ROM, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, DVD-ROM CD: CD-ROM, CD-DA, CD-R/-RW, VCD

The demo rig will feed the front and rear RCAs out to the recently reviewed 2011 special edition Blaupunkt GTA4 amplifier, reviewed here: link and into two sets of Infinity speakers reviewed here: link and here: link The subwoofer output will also be tested and I’ll hook up my phone, as well, by Bluetooth. Us lazy Euro types often hate to RTFM, so we’ll see how easy it is to suss out.

One is about simple intuition and on some machines an ‘˜expert mode’ for fitters only, whereas a Japanese maker will often expect the buyer of the product to engage with it and learn from the manual step-by-step. The Blaupunkt HMI has always been high quality in the past, it’ll be cool to find out how easy this unit is to use versus the Japanese ones, as Blaupunkt do approach from a different angle. This deck is on paper, equipped to read all sorts of files and formats, so we will see what it makes of the digital side.Īlso, I will play some stuff from CD and DVD to check out the audio performance and picture quality. I also have a Verbatim 8GB weeny-stick so small it looks like a baked bean, that has been stuffed half full of movies and all sorts of files, some of which the previous machine that had it plugged into, didn’t like. I have a 4th Gen iPod touch and we’ll try it out with that. The rear one can be used to connect an iPod or iPhone and offer full direct control and as long as you have the J-link lead, you can watch video as well from the ‘Pod. The front has a panel that pops open to reveal USB and SD(HC) slots as well as the front 3.5mm tip-ring-ring-sleeve A/V jack. These include AV inputs and USB sockets of which there is one of each on both the front and the back of the machine. (Sony still offer SACD home decks as do some high end HiFi outfits via ‘˜universal’ disc spinners and I have a single-DIN Sony SACD/DVD player I use for reference.) Next the other holes. It does not decode SACD nor DVD-Audio, both of which are really finished as automotive formats. This is a DVD mechanism and can read all the DVD recordable formats as well as the CD ones. It has the full panoply of slots and holes and pluggy bits. Made for the well over 50% of all cars that have a double DIN aperture (even if they look like they don’t, it is often the case behind the panels) and is the Tour-De-Force of the Blaupunkt headunit line up.
