In addition to being the tightest in-dash
receiver ever built, the KDC-X991 can rip
regular CDs to WMA format and copy USB
data to its built-in 512MB ash memory.
A Little DAP Will Do
The KDC-X991’s Digital Audio Platform (DAP) lets users tailor the sound
to their car to create an exceptional front soundstage and very well-de-
fined center image. The DSP portion also features audio enhancements
like SRS WOW HD for clarity and acoustic presence, a sound manage-
ment system, 5-channel digital time alignment, and high performance
audio capacitors. Remember, a big bonus of the DAP is that it can rip
regular CDs to WMA format and copy USB data to its built-in 512MB
flash memory. You can do this while you’re playing tunes, and you can rip
in real time while you’re listening to your music from CD.

The Receiver that Swallowed Bluetooth
®
!
The KDC-BT838U with built-in Bluetooth module and in-
teractive lighting effect is turning more heads than a swim-
suit model. Beautiful inside and out, the KDC-BT838U
includes our KCA-BT200 Bluetooth hands-free cell phone module with
Parrot technology. All your customer needs is a Bluetooth compatible
phone and away they go.
The KCA-BT200 incorporates Parrot technology that offers some excit-
ingfeatureslikeA2DPmusicstreamingandtextmessaging.Nerdofthe
year award goes to this acronym, but A2DP is cool. Basically, it’s a profile
that defines how high quality audio (stereo or mono) can be streamed
from one device to another over a Bluetooth connection, like music
streamed from a mobile phone to a Kenwood head unit. (All of our 2008
Digital SRS WOW offers 10 adjust-
ment levels and enhanced adjust-
ments for TruBass with separate
front and rear settings. Having sepa-
rate front and rear TruBass settings is great for systems with
a subwoofer because it can be used on just the front speak-
ers, creating a strong presence for the bass. This will make the
bass sound more like it’s coming from the front of the car, which
integrates the bass better with the rest of the sound.
Time Alignment—Find Your Sweet Spot
You’ve probably heard the term “sweet spot,” which refers to
the most optimum seat or position in which to listen to audio.
The home theater guys have the luxury of space, but a car’s
interior is difficult to manipulate to find the sweet spot. Achiev-
ing a good soundstage is tough because some speakers are
close and some are further away. Vocals can smear, and the
soundstage can be undefined or inaccurate. Time Alignment on
the KDC-X991 fixes this and lets you and your customers adjust
their vehicle speaker distance from 0 to 20.3 feet.

one of the best sounding digital-to-analog converters out there.
