Your mobile jukebox

Whether it's a CD or USB drive, Nakamichi's NA101 CD receiver lets you enjoy all your favorite music while you're on the road. Combine that with AM/FM radio and a simple set of controls, and you've got a straightforward car stereo that's all about the music.

Get your tunes going

You can plug in your thumb drive or compatible Android™ smartphone to the front USB port, load a CD, or connect a portable audio player to get the beat going. The NA101 also includes an aux input for an iPod or Astell & Kern portable music player.

If your journey gets a little bumpy, the CD player includes electronic shock protection (ESP) to keep your tunes playing smoothly. You can add some oomph with Nakamichi's X-Bass Master bass boost.

The rest of the story

Nakamichi included two preamp outputs, so you can add an amp or powered sub for even more impact from your system. The NA101 also includes a detachable faceplate for theft-deterrence and a wireless remote control.

Android phone note: If you're going to use your smartphone with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for compatibility information.

    Disc/USB/Aux Playback

    Disc Player w/ ESP: The Nakamichi NA101 CD receiver features a single disc player that will playback CD-Audio and finalized CD-R/CD-RW audio discs. The CD receiver offers ESP (electronic shock protection) to prevent your discs from skipping.

    Front-Panel USB Port (Android Compliant): The unit's front-panel USB (type-A) port allows you to connect a USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) or USB Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) compliant device; such as your Android smartphone or USB thumbdrive. The NA101's USB port supports playback & control of a variety MP3/WMA music files stored on your USB device through the head unit. USB devices that can be charged via USB will be charged when plugged into the CD receiver's USB port (1A) and the vehicle's ignition switch is set to ACC or On.

    • MSC Playback: The Nakamichi NA101's USB port enables playback & control of music files stored on your portable USB MSC device, like your older Android smartphone (w/ OS 2.2+ [Froyo/Gingerbread]) or simple thumbdrive device through the head unit.
    • MTP Playback: The NA101's USB port also enables playback & control of stored music on your portable USB MTP device, like your newer Android smartphone (w/ OS 4.0+ [Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean/KitKat]) through the Nakamichi head unit.
    Note: You cannot use your Android smartphone's touchscreen to control music playback and you cannot select music apps from your smartphone for playback. However, you can continue to listen to stored music on your Android smartphone through the head unit while you check your Calendar, Facebook, Texts, etc on your phone.

    MP3/WMA Playback: The Nakamichi CD receiver supports the following types of MP3 and WMA music files recorded onto CD-R/RW disc or loaded onto a USB MSC/MTP device.

    Media Type CD (CD-R/RW) USB (MSC/MTP)
    File System ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2 FAT 16/32
    Playable File Types MP3: bit rate of 32-320 kbps; sampling frequencies of 8-48kHz
    WMA: bit rate of 32-320 kbps; sampling frequencies of 32, 44.1, and 48kHz
    Tags ID3 tag (v1.0 or later), WMA tag

    Playback & Search Functions: You are able to search the music tracks of music folders stored on a disc or USB device. You can also fast forward or rewind through a track, and skip to the next or previous track. In addition, you can activate repeat (file/folder/all) and random (folder/all) playback functions.

    Song/Artist Information: The CD receiver will display your USB device's stored music file information; including track number, elapsed playing time, song title, artist name, and album title.

    Off Insert/Eject + Auto Reload: A disc can be inserted or ejected with the power off. When a disc is inserted with the power off, the unit will automatically power up and begin playback. If the ejected disc is not removed within 10 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to protect it from dust.

    Aux Input: A front-panel stereo minijack is provided to allow the connection of almost any portable audio source with a 3.5mm headphone output (great for those non-Apple devices). Simply connect your portable digital music player to the unit's front-panel auxiliary input, and you can listen to the audio from the portable player through the speakers in your mobile audio system.

    Audio & Tuner Section

    20W x 4Ch Amplifier: The Nakamichi NA101 is equipped with a 20 watt RMS x 4 channel amplifier (50 watts Peak x 4 channels).

    2Ch/1.5V Line-Outputs: The NA101 is fitted with a stereo 1.5V line-output for connecting an external power amplifier. The line-output is designed for the rear channels with fading capability.

    EQ Presets + Tone Control: There are eight sound presets (Pop, Techno, Rock, Classic, Jazz, Vocal, User, and Off/Flat) that allow you to easily recall the best preset EQ curve for different types of music. The User mode allows you to manually adjust Bass  & Treble from -7 to +7.

    Bass Boost: The head unit employs DBSS and XBass to dynamically boost bass sound for low volume and high volume playback.

    Key Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation.

    AM/FM Tuner: The Nakamichi NA101 is equipped with a built-in AM/FM tuner offering manual, seek, & preset tuning. The built-in tuner provides 3 FM banks and 2 AM banks. You can store 6 radio stations in each bank, giving you 18 FM and 12 AM preset stations. Stations can be preset manually or automatically. To receive more radio stations or only stations with strong signals, you can adjust the radio sensitivity (Local Seek feature).

    Note: You can set the built-in AM/FM tuner between US standard and European tuning spacing.
    Display + Remote Features

    Detachable Face Plate: The NA101 features a detachable face to deter theft and includes a hard-plastic face case. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can also be purchased for this unit.

    Adjustable Dimmer: You can adjust the brightness of the head unit's display between High or Low.

    12/24-Hour Clock: The in-dash head unit offers a switchable 12- or 24-hour clock display. The clock is only displayed when activated; it is not displayed at the same time as song/artist, station, and track information.

    IR Remote: The Nakamichi NA101 comes supplied with an 8-button IR remote control for wireless operation of the CD receiver. The remote provides Power, Volume, Mute, Source, Audio, and Playback controls. The remote operates off of a single CR2025 Lithium cell 3V battery.

    I use a 15 gig t drive w/ 13 gigs of music, which I set on random. I am continually surprised at what plays, and over time, if I feel that I am in a music rut, I pull the t-drrive and it resets, and seems to pull content from beginning, middle, and end. I am very satisfied with the 101.
