About the Dual DV604i
An affordable multimedia solution
An affordable multimedia solution
Dual's DV604i DVD receiver offers affordable touchscreen functionality that doesn't skimp on the features you need. You can play DVDs and CDs, as well as music and video through the two A/V inputs, microSD card slot, or USB port, with easy control from the 6.2" touchscreen. The rear camera input let you install a rear-view camera for easy viewing right from the receiver's screen.
Awesome video options
You can view movies and video on the 6.2" screen when your car is parked, and it also works as a great display for system and song info. If you want to share the fun, you can use the two video outputs to install rear video screens and play movies on the go to keep the backseat posse happy.
And music
This Dual's built-in amp cranks out a real-world 18 watts RMS per channel, a lot more punch than most factory radios. Four EQ presets make it easy to access different sound options, while the included remote lets the passengers get in on the action. If you want some added impact to your tunes, three sets of preamp outputs make it easier to connect amplifiers for your speakers or a subwoofer.
You'll need a wired connection to your parking brake to access settings and other features on this receiver. Your parking brake must be connected and set in order to view video on its screen.
