If you've been thinking about upgrading to a touchscreen radio, Kenwood's DDX26BT DVD receiver brings a lot of upper-end features to the table, such as Bluetooth®, Internet radio control, and deep sound-sculpting controls. And it's all accessed via a crystal-clear 6.2" touchscreen display. You also get control over your iPhone® or Android™ using a wired USB or wireless Bluetooth connection. It's easy to see why this receiver is a great choice for all your media, including CDs, DVDs, and even high-res music files.
WIRELESS BLUETOOTH CONVENIENCE
If you're not the only driver in the car with a smartphone, this Kenwood enables you to pair two phones simultaneously. And when you're streaming audio, the Music Mix feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can pick their favorite tunes for a mega driving playlist. You can wirelessly stream and control the playback functions of just about any Internet radio service, including Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz. Many portable high-res audio players also include Bluetooth, so you can stream your music collection on your journey. You can even control playback and set up this receiver's robust tone controls using Kenwood's free Remote app on your phone.
LOTS OF MUSIC CHOICES
The DDX26BT lets you enjoy your favorite Pandora® Internet Radio stations from your iPhone or from your Android. The rear-panel USB port can handle MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, and high-res FLAC music files on a thumb drive, too.
You can set up the display's background with your own image (really fast car not included).
SET THE TONE
This receiver sports a 13-band equalizer that allows you to set up separate tone curves for different audio sources. And if you're in a hurry, you can choose from the eight built-in EQ presets. Combine that with the built-in digital time alignment processor, and you can put yourself right in the front row of the show. Got a noisy car? This receiver's Drive EQ mode also boosts certain frequencies that help overcome that pesky road noise.
THE "VIDEO" IN AUDIO/VIDEO
Besides all the great audio options, the DDX26BT also provides handy video options like a backup camera input that supports onscreen parking guidelines. If you've got a restless backseat crew, you can feed them some video by connecting additional monitors to this receiver's video output. You can watch the videos on this Kenwood's display when your vehicle's parking brake is engaged.
