monitor. The resolution of the display is 480 (h) x 234 (v) for a total of
336,950 pixels. The screen has a 120° horizontal viewing angle (60° left or
right), and a 90° vertical viewing angle (30° up and 60° down).

24-Bit D/A Converter: The SD-900W is equipped with a high
performance 24-bit, 192KHz, multi-bit Sigma Delta modulation DAC which supports
sample rates from 8-192 kHz.
MOSFET Amplifier: The Valor SD-900W 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 SD-900W
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 SD-900W are as follows:
- RMS Power: 17 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4
ohms, 20-20kHz, 10% THD)
- Peak Power: 40 watts x 4 channels (160 watts
total)
2V/5ch Preamp Outputs: The SD-900W features front,
rear, and mono-subwoofer 2V preamp outputs.
Subwoofer Level: You can
independently adjust the head unit's mono-subwoofer preamp output volume level

Preset EQ: The in-dash receiver features a preset EQ (User,
Flat, Jazz, Pop, Classical, Rock, News, Urban, Rave, Movie, Techno) to adjust
your audio system to meet the acoustical characteristics of your vehicle & type
of music you are listening to.
Bass & Treble: The
User mode lets you independently adjust the Bass & Treble between -7 and +7.
Fade/Balance Controls: You can individually adjust between -7and +7
for the unit's Fade and Balance. The unit's mono-subwoofer preamp output is
non-fading.
Loudness: You can turn the Loudness function on
to boost treble and bass frequencies at low volume levels.
Key Beep: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to
confirm button operation. You cannot turn this function off.

stations each. The preset stations can be entered manually or automatically.
Once your preset stations are set, you can easily scan through only your preset
stations.
Local Seek Mode: In the Local Seek Mode, the unit will only
tune in stations with very strong signals during Seek tuning.

audio files, JPEG still image files, and MPEG video files burned onto DVD+R/RW,
DVD-R/RW, and CD-R/RW discs in ISO 9660 and Joliet format.
Control Screens: During DVD playback, you can control
certain operations simply by touching an area of the screen. You can touch the
top left of the screen (A) to return to the main menu; touch the top middle of
the screen (B) to display playing information; touch the lower left of the

If the unit is shut off or switched to the tuner mode while a disc is playing,
the next time disc is selected as the source, playback will resume from the
point where it left off.
