Connectivity

Aux-in Front, iIlluminated Aux-in

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.
Direct Sub Drive Yes

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.
Wired Remote Input Yes

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.

An additional wiring adaptor is required specific to your model of car for this feature
High Voltage Output Yes

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.
iPod Direct Control Yes

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 Preout 2 (Front+Rear or Subwoofer)

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.
USB Input Front, iIlluminated USB

Tuner Features

Radio Data System (RDS) Yes

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.
Traffic Announcement Yes

The Traffic Announcement (TA) feature lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to.

For example, if you are listening to an mp3, and a live traffic announcement is being broadcast on a particular radio station, TA will automatically detect the announcement, mute your mp3 and broadcast the announcement as it is being made.
Best Stations Memory (BSM) Yes

Best Stations Memory scans and memorises the six strongest, clearest stations available on each band.
Auto Alternative Frequency Search Yes

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 Yes

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.
PTY Search Yes

A PTY search is performed by program type as indicated in the PTY list (the program types are: News&Inf, Popular, Classics, Others). PTY also provides automatic tuning to emergency broadcasts (PTY alarm).

Audio

Advanced Sound Retriever Yes

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.
Digital Direct Yes
Graphic Equaliser 5-Band Graphic Equalizer
High Pass Filter Yes

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.
Low Pass Filter Yes

When you activate the Low Pass Filter, only those frequencies below a specified frequency are output through a specified speaker.
MIXTRAX Yes
Source Level Adjuster (SLA) Yes

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.
