At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere.
That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team — they open the box,
verify contents, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs.
We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
Features
MP3 Compatibility: The
CDC-X504MP can play MP3 files recorded onto CD-R, CD-RW and CD-ROM discs. The
discs must be recorded in ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2, Romeo, or Joliet formats.
Recorded MP3 ID Tags are also displayed on the unit's front panel display. (No
compatible bit rate information is provided.)
DSSA: You can adjust the sound
stage and tone balance to best serve a particular seat in the vehicle using the
Driver's Sound Stage Adjustment (DSSA). The DSSA control is preset for the front
left or front right seat. Once you have chosen a particular seat setting, you
can further manually adjust the balance and fader settings.
Front Panel Aux Input: The
CDC-X504MP features a 1/8" stereo mini-jack on the front panel to allow you
to connect a portable cassette, Minidisc, or MP3 player. The volume of the
connected auxiliary source unit can be controlled by the receiver.
Switchable Rear Preouts: This
unit has one pair of preamp outputs which can be switched between
"Rear" and "Subwoofer." When the preouts are switched to
"Subwoofer" they are not affected by the fader control, plus you can
independently select the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter (78Hz, 125Hz,
or Off), and adjust the volume of the subwoofer (+10 to -10 and Attenuate).
H-Bass: Instead of a loudness
control, this unit is equipped with an H-Bass function. Conventional bass boost
circuits also affect the mid-bass and midrange, resulting in a muddy, "boomy"
sound. H-Bass provides true deep bass enhancement for a dynamic bottom end that
does not destroy the clarity of vocals and other mid-frequency content. H-Bass
enhancement can be switched on or off, and does not affect the preamp output
signal when it is switched to "Sub."
Equalizer: The receiver has 7
preset equalizer curves for different music types: Hip-Hop, Vocal, Club, Jazz,
Pops, Rock, and Custom. Once you have selected a preset EQ curve, you can
further adjust the low (60Hz), mid (1kHz), and high (10kHz) bands from -10 to
+10dB.
Source Level Adjuster: The
relative level of each source (FM/AM/CD/AUX) may be adjusted, from -6dB to +6dB
in 1dB steps, and
the setting will be retained in memory. The level of each source can be set so
there won't be drastic leaps in volume when changing from one source to another.
Dimmer: You can lower the
brightness of the display and button illumination by switching on the dimmer in
the menu. The dimmer function is controlled manually, and is not affected by the
vehicle's headlight circuit.
Remote Control: The CDC-X504MP
is equipped with a wireless remote control (RM-Z304). With the remote, you can
control the following functions:
- Power
- Volume
- Source
- Display
- Seek Tuning +/-
- Track Skip (MP3 File Skip)
- Radio Presets (MP3 Folder Skip)
- Fast forward/reverse search
(CD/MP3)
- Attenuate
