receiver features an integrated iPod dock to securely connect your
iPod/iPhone, without the use of any cables. The integrated iPod dock is accessed by folding down
the head unit's front-panel display and sliding the iPod dock to the right of
the receiver. The fold-down face can then be closed and the iPod dock is now
positioned to the right of the head unit's front-panel display to connect your
iPod/iPhone. You can then position your iPod on the dock, vertically or
horizontally. The XML8150 offers audio playback, control, song/artist
information display and charging of your connected iPod/iPhone. You can search your
iPod/iPhone's music from the XML8150 by Playlist, Artist, Album, Song, Genre,
Audiobook, or Podcast. The head unit also supports Fast Forward/Reverse,
Repeat/Random, & Intro playback functions for your iPod/iPhone. You can also
choose to control your iPod/iPhone from its clickwheel or touchscreen.
Note: The integrated iPod dock cannot be placed back
inside the head unit with an iPod/iPhone attached. You must remove
your iPod/iPhone before inserting the iPod dock back behind the unit's
fold-down front-panel. If you prefer, you can use the head unit's front-panel USB
port to connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad with the docking cable that comes
with your Apple device. The iPad is too large to fit on the head unit's
integrated iPod dock.

input for temporary connecting an external portable audio device, such as a portable MP3
player.
Built-in Bluetooth
Built-in Bluetooth: Bluetooth hands-free communication is
built into the Dual XML8150, making it easy to integrate a Bluetooth
enabled cellular phone (up to 10). Bluetooth is a two-way wireless communication
system allowing you to make & receive cell phone calls, or stream digital audio
from your Bluetooth enabled phone on the XML8150 digital media receiver.
- Hands-free Communications (HFP): The built-in
Bluetooth hands-free feature allows you to talk on your cell phone through
the XML8150 without the need of holding it in your hand, which helps avoid
any traffic violations by keeping you focused on the road. Incoming calls
will be automatically appear on the display and a ring tone will heard
through your car speakers. You can answer a call from the head unit or have
the head unit automatically answer any incoming calls. You can dial a number
from the head unit or the included remote control. In addition, you can view a list of the 10 most
recent phone calls dialed, received, or missed. The XML8150 even supports
call waiting. An external microphone is included for better audio
performance (no integrated front-panel mic).
- Audio Streaming (A2DP/AVRCP): The built-in Bluetooth audio streaming
feature allows you to stream digital audio from your Bluetooth enabled
mobile phone to the XML8150 & control the playback of the audio through
the head unit.
Note: Due to the differences in Bluetooth technology,
some mobile devices may be incompatible, function improperly, or may not
support all features when used with the XML8150.
Radio Functions
AM/FM Tuner: The Dual XML8150 features a built-in AM/FM
tuner with manual, seek, scan, & preset tuning.
Preset Tuning: The built-in AM/FM tuner allows you to store
up to 18 FM station presets and 12 AM station presets. You can tune your presets
manually or have the head unit do it automatically.
Scan Tuning: Press the Scan button on the included remote
control to preview strong stations on the current band, pausing for five seconds
at each. Press Scan again to select station or cancel the function.
Local: The Local function allows only strong radio stations
to be received, blocking stations with weaker signals.
European Tuning: You can switch the tuner between USA or
European tuning.
HD Radio Ready (with iTunes Tagging): HD Radio operation
requires connection of the Dual HDM90 HD Radio tuner (070HDM90,
sold separately). With HD Radio you will be able to receive digital AM/FM
broadcasts from local stations where available. This new technology will
significantly improve audio quality and reception, as well as include
information such as artist name and song titles or traffic news, viewable on the
receiver's display. The Dual HDM90 HD Radio tuner is also capable of iTunes
tagging. iTunes tagging gives you the ability to tag a song (up to 64) and
stores it to a connected iPod. The next time your iPod is connected to iTunes,
the tagged songs are displayed with the option to purchase them from the iTunes
Store.
Note: This function can be operated with the following
iPod/iPhone models - iPod nano (3rd/4th/5th/6th gen), iPod classic
(80/120/160GB), iPod touch (1st/2nd/3rd/4th gen), & iPhone (2G/3G/3GS/4/4S).
Audio Section
MOSFET Amplifier: The Dual XML8150 is equipped with a
MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET
amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased
power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More
power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not
pushing the limits of the amplification circuit.
CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the XML8150
are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement
standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were
developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and
between manufacturers. The power output specs for the XML8150 are as follows:
- CEA2006 Specs: 18 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms,
20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N)
- Maximum Power Output: 60 watts x 4 channels (240 watts
total)
Preset EQ Curves: The Dual CD Receiver features the
following preset EQ curves to customize your music listening - Flat, Pop, Jazz,
Classic, Beat, Rock, or User.
3-Band EQ: The User Preset EQ setting allows you to adjust
the unit's 3-Band EQ.

frequencies at low volumes.
2V/6Ch Preamp Outputs: The Dual XML8150 is equipped with
three pair of 2-Volt preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The front & rear
speakers are fading, while the subwoofer output is non-fading. The subwoofer
preamp output's level can be adjusted independently from 0-12. Adjusting the
subwoofer level to 0 turns the subwoofer output off.
Subwoofer Control: The unit's non-fading RCA subwoofer outputs feature
a variable low-pass filter (80, 120, 160Hz, or Off) and output level (0-12).
Source Volume Level: The Source Volume Level control allows
a gain adjustment for each audio source (Tuner, iPod, Aux, SD/SDHC, and USB). You can set
the source volume level (+/-6dB) for each mode, depending on the relative volume
of each audio source.
Program Volume: You can se the XML8150 to power-on to the
same volume level (1-46) every time.
Key Beep: When this function is enabled, every button press
will output a beep tone.
