A touchscreen that won't break the bank
If you've got the space in your dash, why not fill it with a big screen? Dual's XDVD3201 DVD receiver plays DVDs while you're parked, then becomes your touchscreen commander when you're on the road.
Tap your way through all your tunes
iPod® and iPhone® lovers, all you have to do is plug in your player to the XDVD3201's rear USB input, and you can tap your way through your music library as you see plenty of song info on the 6.2" screen. And if you don't have an iPod, no big deal — you can load up an SD™ card or a USB thumb drive with tunes, too.
Ready to grow with you
Are you planning a system? Dual gives you three sets of preamp outputs that'll make it easier to add amps and subs. You'll also find video outputs so you can hook up video screens in the back seat for your passengers to enjoy. A handy rear-camera input lets you connect a backup camera so you can park in tight spaces with confidence. And a handy front-panel audio/video input handles just about any other source that might come down the pike.
Want to keep your steering wheel controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Dual stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the XDVD3201, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Audio Section
24 Bit D/A Converter: The Dual XDVD3201 utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality.
MOSFET Amplifier: The Dual XDVD3201 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 XDVD3201 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 XDVD3201 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)
5ch/2V Preamp Outputs: The XDVD3201 features front, rear, and subwoofer 2.0-volt preamp outputs. The front & rear speaker preamp outputs are balance/fade adjustable. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading.

- Treble: select from 10khz, 12.5kHz, 15kHz, or 17.5kHz
Loudness: The Loudness function enhances the bass & treble frequencies at low volumes.

Recorded discs and SD-cards can have up to 2,000 files and 200 folders. The head unit will display MP3 ID3 Tag and WMA Tag information.
Internal Buffer: An internal buffer provides ESP (Electronic Skip Protection) for MP3/WMA discs to virtually eliminate skipping.

AV Connections
Dual A/V Inputs: The Dual XDVD3201 DVD receiver is fitted with two audio/video inputs. The unit features a front-panel 3.5mm audio/video input on the front panel of the head unit for connecting a temporary external A/V source, such as a game console. The head unit also features a composite video/stereo audio RCA input on the rear panel for connecting a permanent external A/V source, such as a Blu-ray player or mobile ATSC tuner.
Note: This rear-panel composite video input also serves as the A/V input for your USB-connected iPod (using proprietary Dual cable).
Dual Video Outputs: The two rear-panel composite video outputs allow you to connect optional external monitors. You can watch the same audio/video source that is being played on the DVD receiver on your connected external monitors.
Camera Input: The unit features a composite video input for connecting an optional rear view camera (sold separately). The video from this connection can be set to display when switched to this input, or display the rear view camera video automatically when the vehicle is shifted into Reverse gear. The white/brown wire (within 16-pin harness) must be connected to the vehicle's reverse lamp circuit for automatic video switching. Automatic video switching takes approximately 2.8 seconds. The camera image can be set to Normal or Mirrored.
Note: Audio from your music source will continue playing, while the back-up camera is displayed.
Remote Control
Wireless Remote Control: In addition to the unit's touch-screen panel and hard-key controls, the XDVD3201 also comes supplied with a full-functioning IR wireless remote control for convenient operation.
