Moderately Priced and Still Loaded

Four entry-level receivers are great buys for customers who want an ex- cellent unit but can’t fork out much cash. The KDC-138 CD receiver has a front-panel aux input with sensitivity control, subwoofer level control with bass boost, and even an RCA pre-out that can be used as a full range or subwoofer output. Its bigger brother, the KDC-MP208 WMA/MP3/CD re- ceiver, has front panel aux input with sensitivity control, subwoofer level control with bass boost, RCA pre-out, and includes a remote control. The KDC-MP208 also includes a 14 segment 8-digit display.

The KDC-MP338 and KDC-MP238 have two RCA preouts and are Satellite, HD Radio, and Bluetooth Ready. Both have external media control so you can play and control your iPod with the KCA-iP500 iPod interface and include Supreme technology for compressed audio files. The KDC-MP338 even comes with blue illumination around the front aux input.

Priced to sell, the KDC-MP338 and KDC-238 are satellite, HD Radio and Bluetooth Ready.

For customers who want a great radio at a penny-pincher’s price, our 2008 receiver line includes the KDC-MP208 and KDC-138. Both have a front-mounted stereo mini aux input for connection to external audio sources or an iPod and both offer up 50 Watts x 4 MOSFET power.

Supreme Technology

An exclusive Kenwood technology, Supreme brings sparkle back to compressed music files by restoring the critical high- frequency information lost during the compression process. With the Su- preme function turned on (it’s selectable in the setup Menu), your lower bit-rate (96 kbps) MP3, WMA, and AAC files will approach the sound quality of higher bit-rate recordings. Supreme is on all new eXcelon re- ceivers and all Kenwood receivers above the KDC-208.

Full Range or Switched—Your Choice

The pre-out (rear or single depending on the model) can be full range or switched to accommodate a subwoofer amplifier. The output has a selectable low-pass crossover so that if the amp doesn’t have it, or you’d like to tune the system from the driver’s seat, now you can. The advan- tage is you can add a subwoofer amp and control it from the radio. This subwoofer out also includes a level adjustment, so the subwoofer volume can be adjusted from the radio, too.
