About the Axxera XDMA7100
Sure, you might pull out a CD every once in a while, but it's nice to have choices if you usually listen to music on an iPod® or memory device. That's why the Axxera XDMA7100 gives you plenty of ways to enjoy your music when you're on the road.
Ready for anything
Once you connect your iPod to the front-panel USB slot, you'll enjoy the ease of browsing through the tunes in your music library with the '7100's control knob, so you can place your iPod out of the way in the console.
If you don't use an iPod you're still covered — you can plug a thumb drive loaded with MP3 or WMA files into the USB slot. Need more options? The SD card slot behind the fold-down face will handle cards with up to 16GB of music. You'll find a minijack input on the front panel, along with RCA inputs on the back of the receiver, giving you the ability to add just about any audio source.
And CDs haven't been forgotten — slide in all your store-bought discs or home-brewed mixes, including MP3 and WMA discs.
More features
Axxera gives you some nice tools for sound, with a 3-band EQ for fine adjustments and seven handy EQ presets for quick changes to the overall sound. You'll also appreciate the remote control for easy control on-the-fly, especially if you have demanding passengers. Two pairs of preamp outputs let you add amps and subs for a high-powered system.
Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Axxera stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Axxera, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.
Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.

Audio Section
MOSFET Amplifier: The Dual Axxera XDMA7100 is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit.
CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the XDMA7100 are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs for the XDMA7100 are as follows:
- CEA2006 Specs: 18 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N)
- Maximum Power Output: 60 watts x 4 channels (240 watts total)
Preset EQ Curves: The Dual Axxera CD Receiver features the following preset EQ curves to customize your music listening - Flat, Pop, Jazz, Classic, Beat, Rock, or User.
Bass & Treble: The User Mode lets you independently adjust bass & treble (+/-6dB).
Loudness: The Loudness function enhances the bass & treble frequencies at low volumes.
2V/4Ch Preamp Outputs: The Dual Axxera XDMA7100 is equipped with two pair of 2-Volt preamp outputs (Front, R/Sub). The R/Sub preamp output can be switched between a rear-channel full-range output or a non-fading subwoofer preamp output.
Note: The unit does not feature a built-in low-pass crossover for the subwoofer preamp output (when activated). You will need an external amp with a built-in low-pass crossover.
Subwoofer Level: When the subwoofer preamp output is activated, you can adjust the output level (0-12) of the sub preamp output.
Source Volume Level: The Source Volume Level control allows a gain adjustment for each audio source (Tuner, CD, Aux and USB). You can set the source volume level (+/-6dB) for each mode, depending on the relative volume of each audio source.
Program Volume: You can se the XDMA7100 to power-on to the same volume level (1-46) every time.
Key Beep: When this function is enabled, every button press will output a beep tone.
Radio Functions
AM/FM Tuner: The Dual XDMA7100 features a built-in AM/FM tuner with manual, seek, scan, and preset tuning.
Preset Tuning: The built-in AM/FM tuner allows you to store up to 18 FM station presets and 12 AM station presets. You can tune your presets manually or have the headunit do it automatically.
Local: The Local function allows only strong radio stations to be received, blocking stations with weaker signals.
European Tuning: You can switch the tuner between USA or European tuning.
Display Features
Detachable Face: The face-plate is detachable to deter theft and comes supplied with a hard-plastic carrying case to store the receiver's face when detached.
Note: The headunit includes two face-fixing screws for use if you prefer that the unit's face-plate always stays attached.
Display Settings: The headunit offers the following display settings.

12/24 Hour Clock: The unit's built-in clock will display 12-hour AM/PM time in USA frequency spacing mode. In European frequency spacing mode, the clock will display 24-hour time.
Note: The clock can be set to stay on even when the headunit is turned off.
Power-On Message: This feature allows a "Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening" text message to be shown on the unit's LCD screen when it is powered on.
Demo Mode: You can enable or disable the units demonstration mode.
Remote Control
Wireless Remote Control: The XDMA7100 comes supplied with a 21-button IR wireless remote control which provides complete control of the Dual CD Receiver.
