Addzest DMZ545LP

The Addzest DMZ545LP is a double-DIN centre unit with MiniDisc and CD transports and an FM/AM tuner. The manual describes it as a CeNET-compatible 2DIN centre unit able to control an external DVD, CD or MD changer, and covers the DMZ545LP alongside the DMZ545BK on a shared specification page.

MDLP playback is listed among the unit's principal features. The manual states that an 80 minute MiniDisc gives 160 minutes of continuous playback in double mode and 320 minutes in quadruple mode, and that group-edited MiniDiscs are supported. MP3 appears in the manual only as a display state for an attached DVD changer, not as a format the unit's own CD transport decodes.

The CD section is quoted at 100 dB signal-to-noise with 95 dB dynamic range across 10 Hz -> 20 kHz within plus or minus 1 dB, and 0.01 percent distortion. The MiniDisc section returns 90 dB signal-to-noise, 85 dB dynamic range and 0.01 percent distortion at 1 kHz.

Sound processing is arranged in two independent layers. Z-Enhancer Plus provides five settings, listed as Bass Boost, Impact, Excite, Custom and off. A separate five-mode DSP provides Stadium, Hall, Club, Church and Living Room settings. Magna Bass EX adds 10 dB at 50 Hz at volume step 14. Tone control is a two-band arrangement with bass selectable at 60, 100 or 200 Hz across plus or minus 15 dB and treble at 10 or 15 kHz across plus or minus 12 dB.

Tuner features documented include ISR one-touch station recall, an area select function that displays station names automatically for a chosen tuner region, and 30 stations of name memory. A Message Information function displays up to 30 characters of user text as a screen saver. The auxiliary input has three selectable sensitivity settings for a 2V output, at 650 mV, 1.3V and 2.0V.
