THE FINEST IMPROVED YET FURTHER
The 2007 lineup of DIN CD receivers continues the Kenwood tradition of ultimate audio quality allied with unmatched convenience and ease of use. New models offer iPod USB direct control and a multi control wheel that puts all operation under the control of a single knob. Now, single cable connection lets you enjoy all the music stored in your iPod, as well as giving you unied control over the iPods wide range of functions. The USB port also allows connection of a multi-card reader, as well as charging the battery of USB devices with rechargeable power supplies. And Kenwoods unique Supreme technology compensates for high frequency loss that occurs with heavily compressed music data.
CAR ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS 2007-2008
iPod USB DIRECT CONNECTION
Compatible with iPod nano and 5G iPod, experience high speed control with USB connection (approximately 160 times faster than previous models). When connecting an iPod, it automatically starts the iPod Mode, so that you can operate the headunit just like your iPod by using the Multi Control Wheel.

USB INTERFACE

The all-new USB models support longer data length than previous models, for playback of various USB devices. It is also possible to connect a multi card reader through the USB port, and whats more, if the connected USB device selected has a rechargeable battery, it can draw power via bus with any source.

MULTI CONTROL WHEEL

Added to the current easy to operate 4-way+Push control knob our high-end models come with a Multi
Control Wheel, equipped with an additional rotary function. Now you can control all operations via a single control knob just as smoothly as with an iPods scroll Wheel. Kenwood suggests a new method of selecting source and operation that is easier than ever!

HIGH PERFORMANCE 24BIT DAC
Kenwoods top end models incorporate a high-performance 24-bit DAC featuring low crosstalk between left and right channels, high resolution and crystal-clear sound reproduction with extremely low noise. In particular, this new DAC divides the amplitude direction of the signal into 64 levels and reduces amplitude level, allowing effective suppression of noise both inside and outside the signal band.

DIGITAL AUDIO PLATFORM

The top end model features a newly developed Digital Audio Platform - an innovative platform that improves dynamic range and noise tolerance. CD and USB sources are input directly to the DSP as digital signals, skipping the digital-to-analogue conversion. This provides a crystal-clear sound quality with less degradation. Also, this is the rst step to the Full Digital Audio Platform that will be realised in the near future.

FULL COLOUR OEL
