Kenwood eXcelon Z919 MP3-capable CD receiver with CD changer controls

It is said that "MP3" is the most searched-for term on the Internet. More people than ever are visiting MP3 websites and downloading desired music files onto their computers' hard drives — transferring (or "burning") compressed MP3 files onto CD-R data discs. That's great for playing back on a computer (using MP3 player software), but wouldn't you like to hear those tunes in your car? Check it out — Kenwood eXcelon's Z919 CD receiver will decode your MP3 data discs, giving you a CD changer's worth of music (up to ten hours) on one disc. Who says you can't take it with you?

And with features like DRIVE distortion-reduction circuitry, Digital Optimum Servo Control, Zero-Bit Mute, and Precision Digital Timing, you'll also get superb performance from your standard discs or CD-Rs. Kenwood rounds out the package with 4-way high power (22 watts RMS/45 peak), the powerful system-tweaking capability of the built-in KEX equalizer (with six highly-adjustable presets), and the tenacious CR2 tuner. The elegant fold-down face (with its extra-large, easy-to-read display) motors down to give you easy access to the CD slot. Three sets of preamp outputs will accommodate any plans for adding external amplifiers to your system.

The Z919 will control the Kenwood C907 10-disc CD changer. If you add one to your order, you'll save $$ with our package discount. A wireless remote control is included.
