Kenwood's KDC-MP238 CD receiver will play your MP3 and WMA discs, and it's compatible with all of Kenwood's optional gear. You can choose from iPod® adapter, satellite radio, or even an optional Bluetooth® kit for hands-free calling.
The KDC-MP238 provides you with the tools you need to get the sound you want. System Q Sound Controls set you up with six preset tone curves and a 3-band equalizer for fine-tuning. Speaker size settings allow this versatile stereo to adjust its output to best match your vehicle's speakers, whether they're the original factory models or high-performance speakers that you've installed.
Use the Supreme Setting feature to enhance songs recorded at a low bitrate to make them sound more full-bodied and focused. The front panel features an auxiliary input, and you can adjust its sensitivity level so you won't get drastic changes in volume when you switch from the auxiliary source to radio or CD. Two sets of preamp outputs ease the job of adding external amplifiers for even more power.
Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.
