Kenwood Excelon KDC-X891 CD receiver with MP3/WMA/AAC playback

Having trouble seeing the readout on your stereo? The Kenwood Excelon KDC-X891 CD receiver offers a motorized faceplate with several tilt-position settings to give you the best viewing angle — even if your stereo's low in the dash. The 3-line display highlights your song text info, and it's loaded with animations and wallpapers that you can customize with your own images. The sleek faceplate features an attractive, uncluttered look that'll complement any interior.

Use the USB input to control your thumb drive or USB-capable portable. For iPod®, add the optional connecting cable. Use Kenwood's "Supreme" sound feature to add some sparkle and body back to those compressed music files.

The potent power section and premium digital-to-analog converter deliver music that's robust and full of detail. You can shape the sound with the 3-band parametric equalizer, which lets you adjust the centerpoints for your treble, midrange, and bass controls.

You'll appreciate the three sets of 5-volt preamp outputs if you're adding external amplifiers to your stereo system. And the receiver's high- and low-pass filters let you tune the sound to suit your speakers, whether you use the preamp or speaker outputs. The Graphic Motion Analyzer feature calculates G-forces during acceleration, braking, and cornering, and includes a stopwatch.
