• Can be linked to many models of factory-fitted stalk controls (requires adaptor) or accessory infra-red remote controls
• Motorised SLIDE front panel with colour OEL graphic display and user customisation
• Powerful 4 x 50W MOSFET amplifier with and three preamp outputs for external amplification

Radio tuner features:

• RDS-AF (alternate frequency) feature inaudibly retunes the receiver to the best available signal for the station that is currently selected
• TA (traffic announcement) will switch station for the duration of a traffic report. The original station is restored at the end of the report
• PTY-EON (programme type) information displays and allows selection of similar types of programme (news, pop, classics, sport etc.)
• Full coverage of LW / MW / FM wavebands with 24 presets (18FM, 6MW, 6LW)
• Auto-memory entry feature stores preset stations
• Display of 'radio text plus' information (radio text with additional information tags)

CD / MP3 / WMA / AAC features:

• Compatible with CD, MP3, WMA, AAC and WAV format files
• Integral 512MB memory for CD ripping
• CD-R and CD-R/W compatible
• Highest quality 24-bit Wolfson D/A converter circuits
• AAC compresses audio much more efficiently than the MP3 standard. Also used on the Apple iPod, Kenwood AAC compatible head units can reproduce files compressed using AAC-LC, including MPEG-4 and .m4a formats
• 'Supreme' setting restores high frequency information to MP3 and WMA files recorded at low sample rates (less than 96kbps)
• Scrolling display of CD text when present on media
• Scrolling display of MP3 ID-3 tag information
• Fast forward, Rewind, Track/File/Folder repeat, Random track play, Track repeat and Intro scan functions

DSP (Digital Sound Processor) features:

• Digital system Es+
• Parametric four band equaliser (60 - 200Hz, 250 - 1kHz, 1.25 - 4kHz, 5 - 16kHz)
• Digital time alignment digitally delays outputs from each individual speaker to ensure that all four signals reach our ears simultaneously, thus creating an optimal sound field (up to 610cm in 5cm steps)
• Sound management system allows user input vehicle and speaker types, the system will then optimise the equalisation and sound stage produced by setting the crossover, time alignment and parametric equalizer values automatically
• SRS-WOW digital is a sound field correction technology developed by SRS. The SRS 3D, SRS TruBass and SRS FOCUS systems are fused to create an ideal, natural and comfortable sound space, overcoming inherent vehicle interior limitations. It features more natural sound than ordinary surround audio and the possibility of providing any of the seats with a natural 3D acoustic field. When compressed audio (MP3 or MD) is played, it can supplement the acoustic field information lost during compression and reproduce a natural sound, closer to the original
• SRS-WOW HD digital
• ODD (Offset Dual Differential) digital / analogue conversion. A Kenwood developed digital circuit system for obtaining highly accurate music signals. In the DSP, it shifts the digital sound data into the negative direction to generate another item of data, then samples the two kinds of data and synthesizes them to reduce any distortion or error that may result from D/A conversion. It works together with the left/right independent D/A converter system to reproduce a feeling of presence in the recording.
• Dynamic range control (Wide / Normal / Midnight settings)

Amplifier features:

• Four channel 4 x 50W max MOSFET power amplifier
• Separate adjustments for bass, middle, treble, balance and fader
