Clarion built the DB285USB CD receiver for convenience, with the ability to play all of your favorite media file types and an ergonomic design that puts all the important function buttons in easy reach. The versatile stereo also features user-friendly front-panel USB and auxiliary inputs that allow you to plug in your thumb drives, hard-disk drives, and portable audio players.
Gone are the days of lugging around your CD collection. The DB285USB plays MP3 and WMA files, whether burned to disc or stored on thumb drive. You can carry an entire music library in your pocket and plug it into the front-panel USB slot, or burn a road trip's worth of music onto a single disc.
A muscular built-in amplifier keeps the sound coming on strong. The Z-Enhancer equalizer offers three preset settings, and the Magna Bass EX bass boost kicks up the lows when you want some thump. Two sets of preamp outputs give you the option of connecting outboard amplifiers and subwoofers.
