The Kenwood eXceleon DDX896 is an In-Dash Double DIN DVD/CD/MP3/WMA Multimedia Receiver. This Kenwood Receiver is also equipped with a built in AM/FM Tuner which features 18 FM presets and 6 AM presets, allowing you to program all your favorite radio stations. The Dual Zone capability option allows the playing of separate sources to the front of the vehicle and the rear of the vehicle simultaneously. The 24-Bit Digital to analog converter, high-pass and low-pass filters, 13 band equalizer with 9 selectable tone curves, Bass Boost, and the 5.1 audio outputs for Dolby Digital produce incredible sound clarity.

Sound quality isn’t the only thing you get from the Kenwood DDX-896, the 6.95” Touchscreen TFT-LCD monitor provides excellent viewing quality. Kenwood’s reverse tilt mechanisms with multiple angle adjustments presents the perfect viewing angle from no matter where you’re sitting. The widescreen touch sensitive panel display, variable color button illumination, and interactive video graphics allow easy navigation through its menu while producing enhanced video quality.

This Kenwood CD/DVD receiver also has plenty of expandability options starting with the built-in Bluetooth by Parrot. The Bluetooth includes cables and a microphone, providing complete hands-free operation when receiving or making a call from inside your vehicle. With the built-in USB port, you will have full control with the latest iPods and iPhones, giving you even more playback options. Sirius and XM Satellite Radio, HD Radio, and compatibility with steering wheel controls are some other excellent options that make the Kenwood DDX896 a top of the line receiver for 2010.

Customer Testimonial

SonicElectronix.com definitely has excellent customer support. I ordered a subwoofer from them and realized I had gotten an incompatible sub for my amp. I called the Customer Commitment Team and Harry helped me pick out the correct sub, figure out the wiring diagram and got it shipped that day.
