with a bank-type 3+1MD changer in a 1DIN size housing. In addition to enjoying up to 3 MDs as a changer, you can use it as a single MD player by inserting an add-on MD. The display uses a multi-functional full-dot FL tube. Divided into upper and lower tiers, display with variations. The MJ909 has separate ATRAC and DAC circuit configurations, and is equipped with a newly developed "advanced multi-bit DAC" that incorporates the latest technology, which is unusual for car audio MD. It enables 24-bit processing that achieves sound quality comparable to high-quality MD home audio. The newly developed hybrid IC "System E's PRO", which further improves the functions of "System E's", twin stabilized power supplies, and an ultra-high power amplifier of 44W x 4ch, achieves the best sound quality in this class
