Nakamichi's NA780 CD receiver combines easily accessible controls with a bevy of ways to enjoy your music, including AM/FM radio, a CD player, a USB port, SD card slot, and an auxiliary input. The NA780 also offers a detachable faceplate for theft-deterrence, a rarity for double-DIN (4" tall) CD receivers. Its sleek design lets it look as good in your dash as it sounds.
How do you like your music?
Whether you plug your thumb drive or compatible Android™ smartphone into the front USB port, load a CD, or connect a portable audio player, you can choose from a variety of easily accessible musical options. An SD card slot is tucked behind the detachable faceplate, so you can groove to WMA and MP3 files on recordable CDs, USB drives, or on SD cards. The NA780 also includes an aux input for portables and a second front USB port designed just for charging a USB device that needs some juice.
The NA780's AM/FM tuner includes the Radio Data System (RDS), so you can check out the station info on the receiver's big 2-line display.
Sound quality to rock your ride
This Nakamichi's strong amp will impress you with its clean power, so turn it up if you want. You can use the 3-band equalizer for precise adjustment of the highs, mids, and lows, while eight EQ presets allow quick shifts to a tone curve that matches your music. The Listening Position function tailors the speaker balance for the best output for your location in the vehicle.

SD Card Slot: The NA780 CD receiver features an SD-card slot located behind its detachable front-panel. The SD-card slot supports SD and SDHC memory cards with MP3/WMA music files. The unit's face-plate must be detached to insert or eject an SD/SDHC memory card.
Front-Panel USB Port: The Nakamichi NA780 features a front panel USB (type-A) port that is hidden behind a flip-out cover. The USB port enables connection and control of a portable USB mass-storage class (MSC) device; such as select Android smartphones (Froyo/Gingerbread only), portable digital audio players, or USB thumbdrives. The unit supports playback & control of MP3/WMA music files loaded onto a compatible USB MSC device. USB portable devices that can be charged via USB will be charged when plugged into the CD receiver's USB port (max. 0.5A), and the vehicle's ignition switch is set to ACC or On. The head unit's USB port does not support the Apple iPod, iPhone, or iPad.

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.
