All2008eXcelonmultimediaunitsandtheKenwoodtheDNX7120

trol external electronic devices right from on-screen icons and is an
excellent selling feature.

erlywiredtoanexternalrelayforpoweringelectricaldevices.Individual
switches can be set to either “latched”or “pulse.” The latched setting is
likeflippingalightswitch—it’seitheralwaysonoroff.Thepulsedset-
ting turns on at the button push, but only stays on for a pre-determined
amount of time before automatically switching off.

Pick Your Faves
Our 2008 eXcelon and Kenwood video
units include a Source Select feature
that lets you pick three favorite icons,
like iPod, Tuner, and DVD. Selectable from the Setup menu, choose
any source you want, and you can even name the icons like PlayStation
instead something lame like Video 1 or Video 2.

select the panel close position that best matches the tilt of the vehicle’s
console. Whenever the key is turned off, the unit will go back to the home
position or saved position. The panel’s close position is stored in non-
volatile memory so it remains even if battery power is lost.
Background Check
Our 2008 line lets you trans-
fer and store three digital
images to use as a wall-
paper background. Simply
save the images to a USB
thumb drive and transfer
the images to the monitor’s
memory using the USB con-
nection. Up to three images
