This is an MD receiver that uses the popular electric fully automatic slide panel system for 2DIN components. Equipped with a hybrid IC "System E's" that reduces sound distortion in an ultra-high power amplifier of 44W x 4ch. The display uses a 15 x 15 dot display section to display a variety of displays, using a "Varius Sign FL Display Tube". Produces fun and beauty in the car.

  • Supports MD kana titles and CD texts
  • 12-hour clock, STOP WATCH, timer, alarm 4-mode clock function
  • Comes with a hand grip remote control that fits your hand
  • Adopts "System E's PRO" with improved quality and twin stabilized power supply.
  • Equipped with 1.5V high-voltage pre-out terminal (gold-plated) that demonstrates tremendous sound pressure for subwoofer drive
  • "Display brightness adjustment function" that can adjust the display brightness in 3 steps
