Kenwood XR-S17P manual In-Dashcd Receivers, Key features to remember about, eXcelon receivers

IN-DASH CD RECEIVERS

Listen closely. You can almost hear the competition sweating it out. With better receivers priced below $250 (where most of the business is), we’re squishing the other guys like bugs, and connectivity features they’re just rolling out are “been there, done that” for Kenwood.

Most Kenwood receivers and all eXcelon receivers include the kind of features and connectivity you’ve come to expect like WMA, MP3, AAC file compatibility, USB connectivity, front or back aux inputs, and satellite, Bluetooth, and HD Ready. Heck, even our entry-level Kenwood models include front Aux and RCA pre-outs with crossovers. This year, we’re tilting the scales with things like built-in Bluetooth and wireless music streaming, FL full-dot displays with four lines of text, interactive lighting, and 1-wire iPod connection.

Selling CD Receivers is all about

connectivity, and connects like Kenwood!
