The Kenwood KDC-X979 CD/MP3/WMA Receiver

Pricegrabber says: "The Future Ready/Already KDC-X979 will really take your mobile music into the future. The built-in DSP processor features digital time alignment, a 3-band parametric equalizer and DSP cabin size adjustments that make it easy to get amazing sound in every seat. Dolby Pro Logic II processing reproduces any 2-channel source in 5.1-channel surround sound through the KDC-X979's 5.1-channel high-voltage preouts.

24-bit D/A converters maximize audio resolution, and the digital System E's+ Advanced Crossover System tailors the KDC-X979's output for your system's speakers. Connect the KDC-X979 to our new Kenwood Excelon amplifiers and you can perform the amps' A.M.S. adjustments from the driver's seat. Advanced 2-way communication even shows you the amps' A.M.S. adjustment settings and operation information on the KDC-X979's display. Speaking of displays, the KDC-X979's new 3D MASK Pro motorized control and display system features a huge 192 x 36 ultra-fine pitch 8-tone dot matrix readout with incredible graphics--in fact, you can customize it with your own graphics or a 5.3-second MPEG movie!

There's even a telephone mute that works with cell phone hands-free kits and puts the KDC-X979 in standby mode when your cell phone rings.
