Ultra-thin fully motorised in-dash 7-inch monitor
Armed with the largest display monitor available for in-dash applications, Clarion is coming to market with a 7-inch, widescreen monitor. The monitor operates automatically and opens and closes at the touch of a button. For optimal viewing, the monitor is also equipped with five adjustable angles. And if the monitor blocks your vehicle's air conditioner controls, Clarion provides added functionality with its Air Conditioner Access mode. This feature will tilt your monitor down momentarily, allowing for easy access to your vehicle's air conditioner controls.
Extra-large front panel display
Close the main LCD screen to automatically activate the VRX848RVD's separate display panel, which provides you with all information relative to the entertainment source in use. This separate panel utilises a simple, yet accurate display format, providing you with information such as a CD's "Play Time", or station information when using the radio tuner.
Built-in amplifier canceller
This function lets the audio signal bypass the built-in amplifier so it can be output to an external amplifier in its purest state, without any noise or distortion being introduced by the internal circuitry. Essential if you plan to expand your system with external power amplifiers.
5.1-channel Dolby Digital/dts surround
Dolby Digital and dts provide three channels of front sound (left, right, centre), together with two rear surround sound audio channels (left, right) and a dedicated low-frequency channel for a subwoofer. This combination can reproduce the dynamic sound field of a movie theatre in a relatively small space. So take the show on the road-let Clarion bring full 5.1-channel performance into your car.
Touchpad buttons with touch panel control
With its touch-panel capabilities, Clarion's in-dash 7-inch monitor allows for simple, yet accurate control of all functions, including all visual and sound related entertainment sources. Clarion also outfits its monitors with an on-screen numeric keypad so users can easily select specific tracks from a CD or DVD. The touch-panel surface is also treated to resist dust and grime so you'll always be looking at a clear, clean image.
Function display screens for full system information
Clarion's in-dash, 7-inch monitor is the source for all media and function information, allowing the user to access a host of features with a simple touch of the onscreen menu. The menu is laid out in an easy-to-understand fashion by displaying all actions related to media sources and functions.
New DSP tuner for incredibly clear reception
The built-in high-performance tuner with variable bandwidth offers high sensitivity and clear audio reception. Incorporating a new IC chip DSP, it shuts out signal interference from adjacent stations and minimises sound distortion caused by bad reception.
Flip-down front panel display
The flip-down front panel hides the DVD loading slot, and acts as the main display when the 7-inch monitor is closed. When the monitor is open, the front panel display shows secondary operation information along with the main LCD screen.
