| Tuner |
FM/AM. FM 76.0–90.0 MHz (Japan domestic band, 100 kHz steps), AM 522–1,629 kHz (9 kHz steps). FM usable sensitivity 9.3 dBf (0.8 uV/75 ohm), 50 dB quieting 15.2 dBf, response 30 Hz–15 kHz (plus or minus 3 dB), S/N 75 dB mono, selectivity 80 dB or better, stereo separation 40 dB (1 kHz). AM sensitivity 28 dBu |
| Power |
47W x 4 max output, 29W x 4 rated (4 ohm, 1 kHz, 10% THD), pre-out 1.5V into 10 kohm, 600 ohm or less output impedance. Pre-out selectable as non-fader, front or rear |
| Equaliser |
Two modes. Easy gives genre preset curves. Pro gives a three band parametric: bass centred at 60, 70, 80, 100 or 150 Hz with Q of 1.0 to 2.0 and a bass extension switch, mid at 0.5, 1, 1.5 or 2 kHz with Q of 1.0 or 2.0, and treble at 10, 12.5, 15 or 17.5 kHz, each adjustable plus or minus 12 dB, with three storable memories |
| MD spec |
GaAlAs laser diode (780 nm), 1-bit D/A with 8x oversampling, 400 to 900 rpm CLV, 20 Hz–20 kHz (plus or minus 1 dB), THD 0.005% (1 kHz), S/N 90 dB, dynamic range 90 dB, separation 85 dB, wow and flutter below measurable limits |
| CD spec |
GaAlAs laser diode (780 nm), 1-bit D/A with 8x oversampling, 500 to 200 rpm CLV, 10 Hz–20 kHz (plus or minus 1 dB), THD 0.01% (1 kHz), S/N 93 dB, dynamic range 93 dB, separation 85 dB, wow and flutter below measurable limits |
| Traffic information (TI) |
Hold the button for a second from any source and the tuner jumps straight to Japan's AM road traffic broadcast, switchable between 1620, 1629 and 522 kHz, then back again. This is the Japanese highway radio service, not an RDS data feed, so it is of no use outside Japan |
| Convenience |
Navigation voice mute, security code, attenuator, auto antenna support, name presets for up to 10 discs and 30 radio stations, and title and text auto scroll with a 13 step display dimmer |
| Expansion |
CD and MD changer control, up to two changers with the optional KCA-S210A switching unit, which also provides the AUX input alongside the CA-C1AX adapter |
| Remote support |
Supports a wireless remote, so you can even add one to control it from across the cabin |
| Electrical |
14.4V nominal (11 to 16V operating), 10A maximum draw |
| Form factor |
Double DIN (2-DIN), 178 x 100 x 155 mm, approx. 2.3 kg |
