Pick a source

The front-panel USB input allows you to connect and charge your iPod® or iPhone®, then access your playlists with the Nakamichi's controls. If you're into your CD collection, you'll enjoy excellent playback of your store-bought and home-burned discs – even ones loaded with MP3 and WMA files. Got a portable player or smartphone you want to listen to? Simply it into the aux input on the receiver's front panel.

Tweak your sound

Nakamichi's punchy amp delivers plenty of power, while a pair of preamp outputs makes it easier to add a powered subwoofer or an external amplifier. The NA99i receiver's wireless remote control lets you crank the volume and switch sources.

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