The Kenwood KDC-W6041U CD receiver delivers great sound with style. The gloss black control panel eliminates the clutter of buttons and simply use the two control knobs and the fluorescent 3-line display to navigate the stereo's onscreen menus. The blue illuminated CD slot accepts all of your CDs, including discs loaded with MP3, WMA, and AAC files, while the display shows song and artist information. Kenwood KDC-W6041U allows you to connect your iPod to the USB input, and use the control knob to search through folders to find your favorite tune in a flash. You can also use the USB input to connect a flash drive or hard drive loaded with music. The CD section of Kenwood KDC-W6041U features scan, random, and repeat functions, as well as a 24-bit DAC for unparalleled CD reproduction. If you're building a full system, you can connect and control an outboard amp with the set of 2.5 volt preamp outputs.
