IN-DASH CD RECEIVERS WWW.KENWOODUSA.COM
It’s Lava Lamp Kind of Cool
Kenwood models with 3-line full dot display (KDC-
BT838U and KDC-MP538U) include an interactive
illumination that gives the radio a smooth, relaxing
blue glow. (This feature is actually on all radios from
the5seriesup;however,the5and8serieshave
moreillumination.)Itnotonlylookscoolindashandonthesalesfloor,it
enhances user operation by illuminating each time you turn the volume,
trackforwardorbackward,etc.Iflightingisn’tyourcustomer’sthing,you
can adjust the setting in the standby mode menu. Blue illumination is also
offered on the KDC-MP438U and KDC-X492 surrounding the front USB
and aux input ports (a handy feature while driving at night).
All Kenwood and eXcelon in-dash CD re-
ceivers include either front aux or back aux
inputs. Rear Aux inputs are for customers
who prefer a cleaner look and would rather
tuck their media devices in the glove box than connect it directly to the
front of the receiver. Customers love the aux input feature because it
offers so much flexibility when connecting auxiliary audio devices like
iPods, MP3 players, video game systems, rear-seat video systems, and
more.
The Dr. Phil of Aux Inputs
Our Aux connections are sensitive and can change the volume or input
level according to the device being plugged into the radio. The output
levels of most portable devices connected to the aux terminal are low
becausetheyareadjustedforheadphones.Inordertore-adjustthis,we
added an input sensitivity adjustment function. This allows the input to be
gainedupordowntomatchothersources.How’sthatworkingforya?
Multi-Control Wheel
All eXcelon receivers and Kenwood receivers from the
KDC-MP438Uutilizeaneasytooperatemulti-control

bined with the volume control. On receivers above
these models, it functions as a separate knob. Search by turning the
knob/jog,thenpushintheknob.It’sveryeasyandintuitive!
