A vivid display

These days, vehicle cameras are a must for safer driving, and Kenwood gives you two video inputs for front- and rear-view cameras. Kenwood also provides an electronic angle adjustment for the display, so you can tailor the screen’s contrast for the best viewing in your vehicle’s dash location. This Kenwood plays video content in bright, clear detail when you’re parked.

Great news for audiophiles — this receiver supports high-res file playback of music stored on a USB drive. Do you use Pandora™ and Spotify™ all the time on your smartphone? This receiver makes it easy (Plus, there’s Apple Music for iPhones.) And if you’re looking for radio stations that won’t fade away as you leave the city limits, add a SiriusXM tuner (not included) to this Kenwood to enjoy satellite radio’s extensive programming wherever you may roam.

Excelon-level sound

This receiver’s suite of sound-crafting tools includes a 13-band equalizer, deep crossover settings, and built-in digital time alignment. Bring back the depth and detail for all your digital music sources with this receiver’s processing power. If your car speakers are located down low in the doors, this receiver offers Stage EQ, which adjusts your music’s frequencies to virtually “raise” your speakers for better, more natural imaging.

The DMX706S also includes three pairs of 4-volt gold-plated RCA preamp outputs that provide an ultra-clean signal when it’s time to add amplifiers to your system. And if you’re building a 3-way system, this Excelon receiver gives you that next-level crossover capability.
