Alpine CDA-7897 CD/MP3 Receiver with Ai-NET CD changer controls

How did Alpine do it? The CDA-7897 CD receiver has FantomFace XL, the world's first oversized faceplate housed in a single-DIN-sized chassis! And that's not the end of the story — this remarkable faceplate also features cutting-edge theft deterrence. When you power down, FantomFace XL retracts and a plain black panel takes its place. It looks as though the faceplate has been detached!

But this receiver's not content to be just another pretty face. The CDA-7897 will also play your MP3 files on CD-R or CD-RW, so you can bring your Internet music along. To help identify your favorite songs, the CDA-7897 can read MP3 text info (ID-3 tags). An audiophile-grade, regulated 1-bit digital-to-analog converter ensures that your music is reproduced with precision and depth.

The CDA-7897 puts a world of sonic adjustment at your fingertips. Alpine's highly-effective Media Xpander™ restores any musical sparkle that MP3 compression removed. And Bass Engine® Pro lets you personalize the sound digitally with a 5-band parametric equalizer, 6-channel time correction, and 6-position crossover with variable slope, plus subwoofer phase and level controls.

Add an Alpine Ai-NET CD changer for long-playing entertainment. This versatile receiver also features XM Satellite Radio controls — connect an optional Alpine XM tuner, and discover the future of radio with over 100 channels of coast-to-coast, digital-quality music, news, sports, and entertainment (XM antenna and subscription also required).

A wireless remote is included.
