The KDC-X879 is loaded with Future Ready/Already features like the 3D MASK Pro 3-dimensional motorized 2-piece control and display system. Turn the ignition on and the faceplate automatically opens to reveal individual control and display panels that feature easy-to-use controls and a huge 192 x 36 ultra-fine pitch 8-tone dot matrix readout with incredible graphics. And 3D MASK Pro is self-hiding: turn the ignition off and it revolves all the way around, showing only a blank panel that looks like there's no stereo at all! Audiophile-quality Burr-Brown 24-bit D/A converters maximize audio resolution, while high-voltage (5.0V) preouts and System E's+ Advanced Crossover System maximize performance with external amplifiers. And when you connect the KDC-X879 to our new Kenwood Excelon amplifiers you can perform the amps' A.M.S. (Amplifier Management System) adjustments from the driver's seat. Advanced 2-way communication even shows you the amps' A.M.S. adjustment settings and operation information on the KDC-X879's display. MP3/WMA compatibility means that in addition to conventional CDs and CD-R/RWs, you can play music CD-R/RWs that you burn on your computer. There's even a telephone mute that works with cell phone hands-free kits and puts the KDC-X879 in standby mode when your cell phone rings.
