About the Clarion DB355MP
Clarion's DB355MP CD receiver is all about value. Not only does it offer plenty of speaker-driving power and convenient sound shaping controls — it adds MP3 playback to your entertainment array. That means you can burn a CD-R or CD-RW with up to 10 hours' worth of your favorite music files and take it wherever you go. It's like having a virtual jukebox in your dash!
And the DB355MP doesn't stop there. It offers Z-Enhancer's three preset sound curves for easy, one-touch tone adjustments, plus Magna Bass EX to help boost the low frequencies. Clarion's on-board amplifier (17 watts RMS x 4) powers the show, ensuring clean sound at all volume levels.
If you're building a system, you'll appreciate the set of preamp outputs. They make it easy to connect an external amplifier or powered sub for even more bass reinforcement. The faceplate detaches for an extra measure of security, and the wireless remote allows you to control the receiver from anywhere in the car.

Product Research
MP3 Playback: The unit can play MP3 files recorded onto CD-R and CD-RW discs using ISO9660 Level 1 or 2, Joliet, or Romeo formats. The player can recognize up to 8 hierarchical levels, up to 254 total files, and up to 128 total folders. Bit rates for MP3 are 8-320 kbps, plus VBR (Variable Bit Rates).
Z-Enhancer: The Z-Enhancer function features three types of sound tone effects stored in memory. You may select Z-Enhancer 1 (bass emphasized), Z-Enhancer 2 (treble emphasized) or Z-Enhancer 3 (bass and treble emphasized). When the Z-Enhancer feature is on, the bass and treble controls cannot be adjusted.
Magna Bass EX (Extend): The Magna Bass EX feature provides an extra boost of bass when activated. Unlike conventional loudness features which boost the low frequency range at around 100Hz, the Magna Bass EX boosts the low- and center-range frequencies of about 50Hz. By focusing on the lower frequencies, the added bass impact won't distort or muffle the high frequencies.
Bass/Treble: The bass control range is +/-14dB at 100Hz. The treble control range is +/-14dB at 10kHz.
Screen Saver: Thirty seconds after a button is pressed, the screen saver will activate, displaying a series of moving dashes. It can be deactivated at any time.
Top Function: The Top function resets the CD player to the first track of the disc.
Auto Reload: When a CD is ejected and left sticking out of the CD slot for 15 seconds, the unit automatically reloads the CD to protect if from damage.
Last Position Memory: If you turn off the unit while a disc is playing, it will resume playback at the stopping point when it is turned on again.
Instant Station Recall (ISR): You can store one radio station in Instant Station Recall (ISR) memory and recall it from any mode (except Power Off). Once the ISR station has been recalled, you cannot tune to another station without first disengaging the ISR function. You can, however, switch to another source.
Wireless Remote: The DB355 is equipped with the RCB-172 infrared wireless remote control. Dimensions: L=4.452", W=1.723", D=0.491".

Good stereo w/good sound. Easy to install and use thanks to Crutchfield's instructions and a straightforward owner's manual. I especially like the remote. Didn't think I would ever use a remote in my truck, but I've become quite addicted to it.
