Technical Help with Blaupunkt equaliser settings

[trueno]

Hello to all!
I recently bought from Ebay an OEM Blaupunkt Radio (Model 169)
for my FIAT PANDA. The problem is I can't find how equaliser is turned on or off!!! I played with the buttons MENU and AUDIO in all possible ways and there seems an "EQ" menu does not exist. However on the screen I see a "EQ" sign which means the equalizer is turned on.
Does anyone know how to enter the EQ menu? Or ,do you have a link for the radio manual?
thanks in advance, STEVE

The left and right arrow buttons switch between pop, rock, jazz & User EQ settings IIRC. To enter a new user setting, press and hold the up(?) arrow until the eq band starts flashing.

I think

Thanks , but in order to press the buttons to change through Pop-rock etc , i must be in EQ mode. How am I supposed to be there??

press audio button, bass should be displayed, use arrows to scroll up and down till you get to eq....

 

[trueno]

I did it... When bass is displayed , using the up and down arrows just changes the bass level from -6 to +6... I tried and the left and right arrows but they are inoperative... Anything else please????

On my o5 multijet this is what I found; in manual horizontal arrow buttons are 5 and vertical are 6. First press menu and use 6 to scroll to EQ SELECT,then use 5 to go to EQ SELECT USER via PRESET, JAZZ, CLASSIC and ROCK, then use 6 to go to USER EQ SETTING and 6 vertical bars should appear. Use 5 to select each bar and 6 to alter bars up and down. Finally press menu to go back to tuner, cd or changer if fitted. Best of luck! Not sure what bars do but you can have hours of harmless fun playing with them.

Thanks again , but what I can't find is the "EQ SELECT" option.
When i press MENU , my options are (using the up and down arrows) : REGIONAL MODE , CD DISPLAY , SENSITIVITY , SVC SETTING (?) , PHONE SETTINGS , HICUT FUNCTION , and IGNITION TIMER.
When I press AUDIO , my options are BASS , TREBLE , BALANCE CENTER and FADER CENTER.
Where is the EQ SELECT option????????
Anyone with a manual of the radio???????

morning....i have the destructions in front of me. using audio button and scrolling through you should have, bass, treble, balance, fader, loudness, equalizer, user equalizer. if it,s not there you might have a different head unit.
I have a 100 hp with mp3 head unit.

 

[trueno]

Well , probably I have a different head unit.
In my unit for example the LOUDNESS option is written with smaller letters under the word AUDIO , in the AUDIO button and is activated-deactivated pressing and holding down the AUDIO button.
But somewhere must be the EQ SELECT option because the "EQ" sign is lit on the screen which means that is enabled.
Here is a picture

This is the same unit as the one in my wife's Panda....

I will look when I get home and let you know (unless someone else does in the meantime!)

you do not have the user eq settings with that head unit. the eq displayed is refering to the loudness. turn of loudness and eq should disapear from display.

Right....My wife's '05 Eleganza looks to have the same model Head Unit...

When I press Menu I get the following (and this is also what the manual says):

EQ SELECT: USER EQ SETTINGS : REGIONAL MODE : CD DISPLAY : SENSITIVITY : SVC SETTING : PHONE SETTINGS : HICUT FUNCTION : IGNITION TIMER

The EQ is turned off by selecting PRESET under the EQ SELECT....

The choices are PRESET (OFF) : USER : CLASSIC : ROCK : JAZZ

As to why you aren't getting those options....Erm sorry I have no idea!

 

[trueno]

Well ... what I can say...Thank you all for your answers though!!

I think

Have tried this and just can't get the EQ to start flashing so that I can manually input my own settings. When I press and hold the 'Up' button it just continues to scroll through the options in the menu. :bang::bang:

 

[ThisBitterPill]

From memory....

At the EQ SELECT screen select USER using left / right buttons

Then press up to get to the USER EQ SETTINGS and press left / right to get to the Equalizer....

Then scroll left / right to select each band and up/down to change it....

The Equalizer only has an effect if you have USER selected at the EQ SELECT screen

This may be wrong as it's from memory so I apologize in advance if it is!

Erm well i'm having the same trouble with these settings..i'm very good with these technical gizmos but this just baffles me. i have done what the manual says by pressing 5 etc.. and 6 etc.. to select band to change but this doesnt work i've tried allsorts but its still not sorted. anyone else having the same trouble as me?

 

[gianry]

I have an idea about the issue as I have the same too.
I bought a radio CD from Ebay and my radio has been modified to remove the cancheck control.
I think the code to remove the cancheck has changed the Audio eq parameters .
In my Blupunkt radio Cd when I press the MENU button I don't see EQ settings and ignition time settings

 

[clair80]

:bang:

when you press the MENU button on the front panel what you can choose?

I 'v the following menu entries:

REGIONAL MODE
CD DISPLAY
SENSITIVITY
SVC SETTING (my car haven't the signal for speed)
PHONE SETTINGS
HICUT FUNCTION
IGNITION TIMER


I cannot disable equalisation but I have the EQ on the display
