Our take on the Dual XDMA7715

Put Dual's XDMA7715 CD receiver in your dash and show off your sense of style. Press a button and watch the motorized faceplate slide down to reveal a bright, black-and-white dot-matrix display that stretches across the face, while the big control knob and menu buttons stay within easy reach below — an attention-grabbing arrangement that's easy to use.

The powerful built-in amplifier guarantees great sound — whether from regular CDs or those you've filled with MP3 and WMA files. Five preset tone curves and a loudness setting allow you to adjust the sound to your liking. Use the included remote control to run the show while you keep your eyes on the road.

You can mount the "iPlug" auxiliary input in a handy spot for connecting a portable music player, and you can add an optional adapter for fingertip control of your iPod® from the receiver. The optional Bluetooth® adapter works with your compatible phone to bring you the safety and convenience of hands-free calling.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Features

Two-step, Motorized Display: The rotary knob, preset buttons, and other control buttons reside on the outside of the faceplate. This unit also has a DIN-sized display behind the faceplate. When the open button is pressed, the motorized faceplate slides down to reveal the display. From the factory the faceplate is semi-permanently attached but instructions are included for converting it into a removable faceplate by removing two phillips-head screws. A hard face case is supplied for projection of the removable face when detached.

Auxiliary Input: The DUAL XDMA7715 is equipped with rear-mounted, stereo RCA auxiliary input jacks on a 6" pigtail. If you aren't using the aux input, it can be turned off in the menu so when you toggle through the sources aux doesn't appear.

iPlug: This unit features the iPlug, a 39" interface cable with male RCA jacks that connect an iPod, or other auxiliary source, to the receiver's rear auxiliary input. The iPlug has a dash-mountable 3.5mm female mini-jack that your portable device plugs into and can be attached using the supplied adhesive or self-tapping screws. The measurements of the iPlug housing are 1.776" width, 0.794" height, and 1.997" depth.

CD Playback And Search Functions: The DUAL XDMA7715 features a Single Track Repeat Mode, All Tracks Random Mode and a 10 Second Scan of each track on your CD disc. The unit also provides a high-speed audible track search of your CD-audio disc in forward or reverse. In addition, you can skip to the next or previous tracks on your CD.

Skip Protection: An internal buffer provides ESP (electronic skip protection) to virtually eliminate skipping. The unit also features a 3-beam laser pick up for dependable reading of your CD discs.

MP3/WMA Playback: This unit can play MP3 and WMA files that have been recorded with constant bit rate (MP3: 8-320 kbps/WMA: 32-192 kbps) or variable bit rate compression on CD-R and CD-RW discs. The disc must be recorded using ISO 9660 level 1 or level 2, Yellow Book MODE 1 or, Yellow Book MODE 2 FORM 1. In addition, this unit is compatible with ID3 Tag version 1.x. Discs should be recorded with a maximum of 256 folders and files and 8 folder levels.

MP3/WMA Search Modes: The preset buttons and other buttons on the front panel can be used for entering letters or numbers to assist you in locating specific MP3 or WMA files and folders. The following search functions can be performed by this unit:

  • Alphanumeric File/Folder Search: search for file or folder names by entering alphanumeric characters
  • File/Folder Navigate: search for all available files within a folder

AM/FM Tuner: The XDMA7715 features a built-in AM/FM tuner with up to 18 FM and 12 AM station presets. The unit features 3 FM bands and 2 AM bands that can store 6 presets each. In addition to manually tuning your presets, the radio can also automatically store the six strongest stations in the current band you have selected, which is very helpful when traveling. Once your presets are stored you can use the unit's Preset Scan feature to scan through the stored presets in a given band pausing for 5 seconds for each station.

Preset EQ Curves: You can choose from five preset curves: Pop, Jazz, Classic, Beat, and Rock. Any adjustment to the bass or treble settings automatically cancels the current EQ curve.

Bass And Treble: The unit's bass and treble can independently be adjusted from -6 to +6.

Loudness: Activating the Loudness feature will enhance the bass and treble frequencies when listening to music at low volumes.

Source Audio Memory: Individual bass and treble settings are retained in memory for AM, FM, CD, AUX, iPod and Bluetooth modes.

3-Sets Of Preamp Outputs: The DUAL XDMA7715 features Front, Rear and Subwoofer preamp outputs rated at 2-volts. The unit's subwoofer preamp output level can be adjusted from 0 to +12.

Turn-on Volume: You can preset the unit's volume when it is powered on. Each time the unit is turned on, the volume is reset to the preset level regardless of the volume level when the unit was last turned off.

Display Priority: You can set the unit to a source display or time display priority. When set to source display priority, the radio tuner frequency, CD track/elapsed time, selected MP3/WMA information, or Aux display will be displayed by default. The clock can be accessed temporarily when the Display button is pressed. When the time display priority, the clock is displayed by default, while the source information can be accessed temporarily with the Display button.

12/24 Hour Clock: When the unit's radio tuning interval is set to USA spacing, the clock is displayed in a 12-hour format. If the unit is switched to European frequency spacing, the clock switches to a 24-hour format.

Clock Display Note: Normally, the display illuminates only when the unit is on. You can program it so the clock is displayed when the unit is off. In this case the clock is displayed when the ignition key is turned on. In order to see the clock display the face must be open.

Waste of time and money

Written By Aaron, Lumberton, Texas on Sunday, August 30, 2009
 
I purchased this unit, and was thrilled with the way it looked and performed. Super easy installation, Yes it was great for about 3 months. Then the unit would start to reset,( time, sub lvl, everything). Then the rotary knob would turn up the volume in any direction. Then the motorized face stopped working, it would no longer open. CD stuck inside to this day. This unit isn't worth the time wasted installing it, it now sits in the local river. Good luck Dual...

No Guessing

Written By Badger, Franklin Park, NJ on Thursday, December 25, 2008
 
I endured my old stock cassett player in my Dakota for the last nine years,
mostly out of fear of taking the dash apart. The instructions they sent with
the unit were spot-on! Right down to what size socket to use, and exactly
what screws to remove. The receiver sounds great and is easy to figure
out, even for the electronicly challenged like myself. Simple to install, simple
to use, sounds great..you cant ask for more. The other fella here is right
about the blue lites, just a tuch intense..but worth the compromise.

A little too bright

Written By Kenny, Oklahoma on Friday, October 10, 2008
 
I installed a similar model in my son's pickup and he was very happy with it. I just installed this model in my own pickup and I'm very pleased. The controls aren't as hard to figure out as they may look, the sound quality is good. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of how bright the blue lights are. There is no option to dim them and they are a little too bright for my tastes. Don't get me wrong, they're not blindingly bright, but it would be nice to be able to dim them a little.

DUAL

Written By Bashore, Julesburg, CO on Monday, April 28, 2008
 
Bought this receiver for my 2005 f150 and was easy to install the stock deck left a big hole in my dash and had the receiver holder that crutchfield send me and when we put the receiver and it wouldn't operate correctly with it installed in the holder. So I had to bolt it too the dash where the stock one was and had to find some black rubber to cover up the holes other than that it works perfectly and am happy with it.

Great quality for the price!

Written By Todd, Hemet, CA on Monday, April 21, 2008
 
This is an excellent receiver fo the price. Good sound quality and easy to operate features. The display is bright and easy to read and the sliding front display works smooth. I also purchased the bluetooth device BTM60 with this reciever and the installation was simple and the unit pairs with other devices quickly, the sound quality through this receiver is excellent when streaming music with bluetooth (cd quality) When using a cell phone an incoming number is shown on the receiver display.
