Convenient control of all your music

You can also plug a music player or thumb drive into the AUX or USB inputs to check out your playlists.

And you'll be able to listen to your favorite radio stations and track weather on the global AM/FM/WB tuner. This compact, feature-packed receiver will also fit right in with your existing NMEA 2000 system.
3-1/2" color screen
You'll be able to see what's song or station is playing on the KAPPRV515's 3-1/2" color LCD screen, but you can also connect a camera and see what's going on behind your boat, or elsewhere. The water-resistant faceplate also features a rotary knob for easy control, plus easy-to-see buttons for important functions.
The start of a really cool system
The KAPPRV515 features three sets of preamp outputs (including sub outputs), so you'll have plenty of options for adding amps to your system. With 4-zone control (front. rear, secondary, and subwoofer) and plenty of sound-shaping tools, you can get the sound you want where you want it. This rugged receiver works with wired remote controls (sold separately), so you and your passengers can control the entertainment from wherever you like.
You can also control your LED speakers and other LED lighting accessories through the faceplate, with the help of the Infinity MIL-LEDPWR accessory box.
Designed for the great outdoors
This digital media receiver packs a lot of features into a compact design that fits a 3-1/2" round gauge opening. Infinity designed this marine-rated receiver with outdoor use in mind, so the weather-resistant, UV-stable face and controls will stand up to sun, salt and moisture when you're out having fun.
