Built-in DAB/+ Tuner

DAB KDC-BT73DAB

DAB is a digital radio technology for broadcasting radio stations, used in various countries particularly in Europe. In comparison to traditional AM and FM radios, DAB delivers cleaner, crisper sound due to the noise reduction implemented. Furthermore an upgraded DAB+ was released in 2007, which features a higher audio quality and better reception. Kenwood's built-in DAB+ receivers are maximised in design, top-end performance and affordability.

Using the latest digital chip set means listening to digital radio on the move is free of annoying breaks and distortion. Clever technology will even switch from DAB to FM (and back again) if there is a local signal problem.

 

FM/AM Tuner

A high quality FM/AM tuner with Presets (18 DAB / 18 FM / 3 AM). Mixed Preset Memory is also available which enables stations with a different band (DAB/FM/AM) can be memorised to the [1] - [6] buttons according to the setting of "Preset Type". The tuner comes with a traffic interruption option and radio data system.

 


 

Dual USB Front & Rear Inputs (iPod/iPhone & USB Devices)

Dual USB KDC-BT73DAB

For convenient connection to your portable music device via the dual USB (Front/Rear) inputs or AUX input.

Portable USB devices or sticks make it possible to create and store compilations of your favourite music and bring them into the car for easy connection and playback via the USB (Universal Serial Bus). Compatible formats for USB are: MP3, WMA and WAV. The USB input includes a fast charging power supply.

They can even display tag information, provided the files are not protected by DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Support your devices at the same time with a front panel mounted USB input and a rear mounted input. Play your music from one USB input and use the other to charge your other device or switch between the two devices for playback (USB device & iPod-iPhone).

An LED status indicator for rear USB is found on the front panel and shows it is in use.
