or 2, Joliet, or Romeo formats. The player can recognize up to 8 hierarchical
levels, up to 255 files per folder, and up to 510 total files. Bit rates for MP3
are 8-320 kbps, plus VBR (Variable Bit Rates). Bit rates for WMA are 48-192
kbps. This unit is compatible with, and will display MP3 and WMA ID3 tags.
Shooting Star DCP Design: In this design, all the frequently used controls
are as close as possible to the driver for ease of operation. The organizing of
the controls on the left side of the DCP allows for a large easy to read
display. This enables you to see station or track information quickly and easily
with minimal distraction from the road. Additionally, a precision rotary volume
control knob is centrally located for optimum control from either the driver's
or passenger side seat.
Flip Down Control Panel with High Visibility Display The DXZ475MP features a flip-down detachable face with a 13-Segment 2-line
display making the radio theft deterrent and easy to read. With the ability to
display text characters as well as numbers, you can see the name of the track
that is playing or check the time. It's high contrast white on black design
makes it easy to see under any lighting conditions. The unit comes with a hard
plastic face-case to provide protection for the detachable control panel.
Screen Saver: This unit features a screen saver function which allows
you to show various kinds of patterns and characters in the operation status
indication area of the display in a random order. You can turn this function on
or off.

Radio stations and TV stations. The number of titles that can be entered for
each mode are as follows.
- CD Mode: 50 titles

Z-Enhancer:
The Z-Enhancer function features three types of sound tone effects stored in
memory. You can choose from the following.
- B-Boost: Bass frequencies
are emphasized from -3dB to +3dB
- Impact: Bass and Treble
frequencies are emphasized from -3dB to +3db
- Excite: Bass and Treble

feature is on, the bass and treble controls cannot be adjusted.
Bass and Treble: When not using

(+/-14
dB).
Magna Bass EX (Extend): The
Magna Bass EX feature provides an extra boost of bass when activated. Unlike
conventional loudness features which boost the low frequency range at around
100Hz, the Magna Bass EX boosts the low- and center-range frequencies of about
50Hz. By focusing on the lower frequencies, the added bass impact won't distort
or muffle the high frequencies.
Switchable Rear/Sub Preamp: The
Rear preamp output can be set to Rear (Full-Range) when running a pair of
full-range speakers off the preamp outputs or to LPF 120, LPF 80, or LPF 50 when
using the preamp output as a subwoofer output. If you have set the preamp output
to one of the Low Pass Filter settings you can independently adjust the volume
of the subwoofer level between -6dB and +6dB. Both the front and rear preamp
outputs are attached to a 7.5'' pigtail.
High Pass Filter: The DXZ475MP
also features a High Pass Filter that can be set to either 120Hz or "Through".
The "Through" setting allows for full-range while the 120Hz setting only allows
frequencies above 120Hz to reach your speakers.

connect the receiver to external amplifiers, you can turn off the built-in
amplifier for better sound quality.
Auto Store: Auto Store is a
function for automatically storing up to 6 stations in sequential order in the
provided preset bands. The receiver features 3 FM bands and 1 AM band; giving

the stations stored in the preset memory momentarily. This function is useful
when searching or a desired station in memory.
Instant
Station Recall (ISR): You
can store one radio station in Instant Station Recall (ISR) memory and recall it
from any mode (except Power Off). Once the ISR station has been recalled, you
