The Aux-in allows you to connect external music sources (with RCA outputs).

This means that you can connect your MP3 player or PDA, for example.

 Instead of connecting 2 rear speakers, you can opt to connect a subwoofer in 2Ω mode to one of the rear speaker outputs. 70W power will be delivered to the woofer for a powerful bass sound experience, without the need for an extra amplifier.

It's an easy solution for lovers of booming bass.

The Hard Wired Remote input allows you to connect the receiver directly to your car’s own steering wheel remote control.

You can then control your receiver with the steering wheel remote control.

By providing a strong signal, with less noise and more definition, the Hi-Volt pre-outs reduce demand on the input circuit of the amps so they can work with lower gain settings, resulting in improved sound quality and a wider dynamic range.

 CD Tuners with iPod Direct Control let you control your iPod directly from the CD tuner. An optional connection cable is available (see the 'Accessories' tab to find out which one).

RCA pre-outs enable you to easily expand your sound system.

You can significantly improve your in-car sound quality by connecting extra amplifiers to your headunit, for example.

You could customize your sound system with separate amplifiers for the front speakers, the rear speakers and a subwoofer.

The RCA pre-outs let you create the exact sound you want, with the focus on complete flexibility.

 Radio Data System (RDS) is a system for providing information along with FM broadcasts.

This inaudible information provides such features as program service name, program type, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tuning, and is intended to aid you in finding and tuning in to a desired station.

Note:

• RDS service may not be provided by all stations.
• RDS functions like AF (alternative frequencies search) and TA (traffic announcement standby) are only available when your radio is tuned in to an RDS station.

Best Stations Memory scans and memorises the six strongest, clearest stations available on each band.

Auto Alternative Frequency Search occurs when the tuner cannot get a good reception, and automatically searches for a different radio station in the same network.

Auto / Manual Frequency Search enables you to search for broadcast stations manually or automatically.

The tuner will scan the frequencies until a broadcast strong enough for good reception is found.

 Use the CD Text feature to view text information from a music CD.

By pushing the display key, you can scroll between disc titles, track titles and artist name.

MP3 Text allows you to navigate your way through MP3 and WMA discs.

MP3 text displays the names of:
• folders
• files
• track titles
• artists
• album titles
• comments and
• bit rates stored on your music discs

Note: MP3 Text Display is compatible with ID3 Tag versions: 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4

 Disc Title Memory enables you to programme a 10-digit descriptive title to be displayed when a particular CD is selected.

Last Position Memory automatically resumes CD play from the last point if there is interruption to CD play.

Only the highest quality components have been selected for this system, specially selected through listening trials.

A 70µm thin copper film substrate – twice as thick as the conventional one – results in lower impedance and larger current capacity for all circuit blocks and the CD mechanism.

The custom condenser also ensures larger capacity, as well as a higher sound quality.

A high-purity Oxygen-Free Copper power cable and a highly efficient and temperature-stable amorphous chocking coil accomplish a full sound quality.

ASR stands for Advanced Sound Retriever.
Our ASR sound technology automatically restores the harmonics which were lost during the audio compression process.
ASR adjusts frequency response and sound pressure, especially in the high and low frequency ranges, to revitalise the density and presence of the compressed signal.
The result is an improved sound quality with its staging, density and feeling restored to the level of the original recording.

When the subwoofer is connected and you do not want low sound to play from the front or rear speakers, turn the high pass filter on. Only fre-quencies higher than those in the selected range will be output from the front or rear speakers.

When you activate the Low Pass Filter, only those frequencies below a specified frequency are output through a specified speaker.

At low volume levels, ambient noise levels in your car can overpower low and high frequency sounds in music.

Loudness control proves a one-button way to boost these frequencies and provide a better overall sound at low level volumes.

 Allows you to independently adjust the volume ratio between all of the headunit's sources (using the FM volume level as a reference), so the start-up volume between sources will always be the same.
