Ideal replacements for OEM systems, the DPX503 and DPX303 offer consumers the latest in connectivity and sound performance.

Kenwood USA Corporation is officially launching two new double DIN-sized CD receivers. The DPX503 and DPX303 offer high performance audio features and portable player connectivity to consumers with aging, broken or otherwise unsatisfactory double DIN factory radios.

The DPX503 has a large multi-line display with full-spectrum variable illumination that looks great installed. Connectivity features include an illuminated front Aux input and USB port with 1-wire high-speed iPod control. One wire iPod control allows consumers to control their iPods from the receiver using the USB cable that comes with their iPod (5th generation iPods).

Compatible with MP3/WMA/AAC compressed audio files, the DPX503 includes a large multi-control wheel that allows easy music search. Two RCA 2.5V pre-outs (rear switchable to low pass with filter and level control) are ready for system expansion and low pass and high pass filters control unwanted frequencies.

One wire iPod control allows consumers to control their iPods from the receiver using the USB cable that comes with their iPod (5th generation iPods).

The DPX303 Double DIN CD receiver includes a large fine-dot display with four lines of text and a large multi-control wheel for quick and easy music search. For iPods or other potable music devices, the DPX303 includes an illuminated front auxiliary input. This model is also compatible with MP3/WMA/AAC files and incorporates two RCA pre-outs (2.5V) switchable to accommodate a subwoofer amplifier. Users can add iPod control with the KCA-iP500 iPod interface.

Both the DPX503 and DPX303 CD receivers have an extra large Dual DIN bezel for a factory-look installation and both offer 50W X 4 power. IR remote controls are included and both models are Bluetooth, Satellite and HD Radio Ready.
