Two phones can be connected at the same time. The package specified by the seller includes an external microphone for hands-free calls.

Music sources and connections

The CD player plays MP3 and WMA files from CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs. It also supports CD Text, MP3 text display, last-position memory and random playback.

The illuminated front USB port plays AAC, MP3, WAV and WMA files. Compatible phones can be controlled, used for music playback and charged through this connection. The front AUX input is intended for other music devices equipped with an analogue audio output.

Two RCA pre-outs can be configured for front and rear channels or for a subwoofer channel. They carry the audio signal to an external amplifier or a powered subwoofer.

The seller’s description specifies compatibility with Android 4.1 or later versions from that period and with the iPhone 5 or later models available at the time. Operation with current devices, operating systems and apps has not been confirmed.

Audio adjustment

A five-band graphic equaliser, source level adjustment, and high-pass and low-pass filters provide useful control over the system’s channels. Advanced Sound Retriever and direct subwoofer control are also listed. The MOSFET power rating is 50 W × 4, but this figure is not stated as continuous RMS power.
