dealer. Be sure to take the time to explain the features of this amazing piece, like USB Direct Control, System Q-EX, 3 gold-plated RCA pre- outs (5V) with HPF & LPF, DSP, 4-Band parametric EQ (front & rear), and 512MB internal storage.

OEL Is Not

Your Average Display

The bright 4096 color customiz- able OEL display is a real eye-catcher, especially with Graphic Motion Analyzer, and it’s easy to see even in bright daylight. It projects bright, vivid colors, responds faster than conventional LCD displays, and OEL is a very efficient, self-emitting device that will project uniform brightness across the entire display. Combine the OEL display with our customized motion graphics and customers see digital images with amazing clarity.

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 flash 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.

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.

Picture Engine

Customized graphics and personal photos can be

copied to a USB thumb drive and downloaded on the KDC- X991 and KDC-X792’s displays. We also offer Picture En- gine that lets customers customize wallpaper on their single DIN Kenwood displays. The picture engine website is at

The KDC-X991 uses O.D.D. (Offset Dual Differential) that cre- ates high quality sound by eliminating the digital distortion/noise in the digital-to-analog converter. O.D.D. uses two sets of 24 bit D/A converters with one slightly offset. When these signals are recombined, the digital noise is greatly reduced, making this one of the best sounding digital-to-analog converters out there.

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- ing features like A2DP music streaming and text messaging. Nerd of the 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.
