‘Dual zone’ enables your rear-seat passengers and you to enjoy different AV sources at the same time.

For example, whilst you and the front passenger listen to the radio, the rear seat passengers can watch a DVD on optional screens.

The Aux-in allows you to connect external music and video sources (with RCA outputs). This means that you can connect your MP3 player, PDA or games console, 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.

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.

An additional RGB Input means that you can, for example, connect a navigation device to the system and have a truly integrated mobile navigation and entertainment system.

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

You can then control your CD Tuner with the steering wheel remote control.

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 CD.

 

Let your system take care of your sound. Our new Auto EQ feature monitors and analyses the acoustics inside of your car and uses the measurements to automatically adjust your audio equalisation levels.

Using a 3-band parametric equaliser Auto EQ adjusts the front and rear speakers separately. The result is audio perfectly suited to your in-car environment. (Please note: an optional microphone is required.)

Sonic Center Control is a listening position adjustment tool, which lets you optimally tune the audio output based on where you (or your passengers) are sitting.

By changing the position to the right (as shown in the screenshot), the sound image will move to the right. The driver’s side speaker timing is adjusted, with the result of an improved sound stage based on your listening position.

This feature takes the sound delay data used by DSPs and translates it into an analogue version using phase delays. However, in order to mimic a DSP’s sound delay, frequencies can only be altered up until midrange.

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.
