Plug in a thumb drive or other USB storage device for playback of your favorite MP3/WMA files, with easy folder navigation. The port will also charge portable devices, and offers control of some music phones via the receiver.
Direct iPod Control
The eXcelon series is as iPod-friendly as it gets. Enjoy direct control of your device, along with great features such as:
Front Auxiliary Input
Listen to external audio devices like MP3 players using the front auxiliary input. The USB port and Aux input are both illuminated, and kept safe from dust when not in use with a sliding cover.
FM/AM Tuner
When you feel like letting someone else control the programming, switch to the radio. Store your favorite stations as presets for instant access--mixed preset tuning allows both FM and AM stations to be preset on the same preset band.
Serious Room To Grow
The KDC-X494 is ready for you to add Kenwood components for SAT/HD radio, Bluetooth, or a CD changer.
It's also ready for system building. While the built-in 50W x 4 MOSFET amp is plenty powerful, it also features three 4V preamp outputs (front, rear, subwoofer) for adding external amps and speakers. It includes a rear/subwoofer switch with a subwoofer level and adjustable low pass filter, so you can send just what you need for your system.
System E's+ Crossover System
A single IC that allows the user to select from 8 different high-pass filter crossover frequencies plus pass-through, with independent selection for front and rear outputs. This makes it easy to optimize the performance of all amps and speakers in a car audio system without needing an external electronic crossover. System E's+ also incorporates a phase switch and low-pass filter for the non-fading output. The low-pass filter has selectable cutoff frequencies of 50Hz, 80Hz, 120Hz and Through.
Sound Excellence DSP
The Sound Excellence audio enhancement feature brings out all of the music masked by road noise and includes a unique iPod EQ function that improves iPod sound quality by deactivating the EQ setting, allowing you to select from twenty-two EQ curves optimized for iPod playback in any vehicle.
System Q EX Sound Control
Five factory pre-set equalization curves (Rock, Top40, Pops, Jazz and Easy, plus a flat setting) and three speaker matching curves (OEM, 6x9, 5/4 plus a flat setting) that can be combined to give the user extreme flexibility over the sound's tonal character. The preset curves include midrange contouring, giving music more clarity and presence. System Q EX allows the user to modify the preset curves by changing the amplitude of the bass, midrange and treble compensation, and the Q of the bass and midrange compensation. The new curves can then be saved as presets for future recall

Pioneer DEH-6300UB CD Receiver with iPod/iPhone Control, Pandora player and MultiColor LCD Review
The DEH-6300UB is an iPhone-friendly and flexible player that lets you enjoy your music from a variety of sources. It is fully compatible with iPod and iPhone, allowing direct control via the CD tuner, and ready to play back your CDs and digital files. It's ready for your iPhone Pandora app as well, letting you enjoy it through your receiver. Separately customize your display and key illumination to get just the effect you're after, and read it all on the brilliant two-line LCD display.
Color Customization with over 210,000 colors variation lets you precisely match the receiver illumination to the vehicle's interior lighting, ore create any other effect you're going for. Key and display illumination colors can be adjusted separately, for even more visual flare.
Connect a USB thumb drive or other device for direct playback of MP3, WMA, or WAV audio files. It's a handy way to grab some tunes before you hit the road. A standard auxiliary input is also provided, so you can connect pretty much any MP3 player or other device for your enjoyment.
Connect your iPod or iPhone to the USB port, and enjoy music playback and basic controls (track up/down, fast forward, rewind, pause, repeat, and shuffle). Connected iPods will also get a charge, so no worries about depleting your battery.
Fans of the Internet music service Pandora, rejoice! Many of Pioneer's 2011 models, including the DEH-6300UB, feature Pioneer's new Pandora Ready feature, which gives you direct control of Pandora through your iPhone. Launch Pandora on your connected iPhone, and you'll be able to experience it through your receiver, complete with bookmarking and thumbs up/down buttons.
Tune into your favorite stations with Pioneer's Supertuner IIID technology, complete with 24 presets.
Have you ever heard a great song on the radio, but couldn't remember what it was called or who sang it when you went to go look for it later? Now you don't have to worry about missing out on great music. iTunes Tagging gives you the power to "tag" all of your favorite songs without having to scramble for a piece of scrap paper in the car, then later preview or purchase music at iTunes Music Store. Works with stations transmitting RDS artist/song data.
Hear the detail, warmth and clarity, the way the artist intended it, from all of your highly compressed MP3 and WMA files stored on your USB device, iPod and portable media players. By restoring data (especially higher frequencies) that tends to get lost in the digital compression process, Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever technology enhances audio reproduction nearly all the way up to 20 kHz frequencies.
Powered by Pioneer's MOSFET 50W x 4 amplifier, the DEH-6300UB serves up serious performance with minimal distortion, for great sound regardless of the source. Two 2V RCA preouts provides flexibility to expand your system, complete with high- and low-pass filters.

Sony CDXM30 Marine CD Receiver MP3/WMA/AAC Player Review
Play your music while you're out on the water. The CDX-M30 marine CD receiver features multiple ways to listen to your tunes while boating. In addition to offering HD Radio and satellite radio capabilities (with add-ons), this receiver plays CDs and supports MP3/WMA playback. You can also connect virtually any portable audio device via the front auxiliary input. A flip-down face, coated circuit board and UV-resistant paint helps keep this radio protected from the elements.
One little cable is all it takes to listen to your iPod, portable music player, or portable DVD player through your Sony Marine system (cable sold separately). No need to mess around with FM modulators to listen to your MP3 player in the car--the auxiliary input is built right into the face of the head unit, and even features an adjustable input level. All you need to do is plug and play.
The faceplate is also where you'll see the one-line white LCD display and switchable blue/red key illumination. You can tilt it from 0 to 45 degrees for easy viewing/use.
Play back all your favorite CDs, along with CD-R/RW discs. Better yet, why not burn a CD-R/RW full of MP3 and WMA files, for hours of music on a single disc? Dial it all in with Sony's EQ3 three-band equalization to get just the sound you're after.
A UV Resistant front panel coating protects faceplate helps prevent discoloration from the sun, very important in marine applications.
The sun's not the only damaging element out there... A conformal coating on the circuit board helps protect the electronic assembly from damage due to contamination, salt spray, moisture, fungus, dust, and corrosion, all standard fare in the harsh marine environment.
The Sony Marine CDX-M30 delivers 52 watts of peak power to all four speakers for full-range, bass-pumping sound.
If that 52 watts x 4 isn't sufficient, the CDX-M30 offers three 2V RCA preamp outputs (front, rear, and sub), so you can boost your boat's sound system with minimal effort and maximum flexibility. Use the preouts to add a subwoofer and external amplifiers, or another audio component.
The CDX-M30 gives you a great starting point, and the option to expand down the raod. HD Radio ready capability lets you receive digital audio broadcasts when used with an optional HD Radio tuner. You can do the same with satellite radio, using either XM or SIRIUS satellite radio UniLink adapters. Got an iPod you can't leave behind? The optional XA-120IP allows users to connect, charge, and control compatible iPod devices directly from the radio.
