    Remote Control

    Supreme
    When a music file is compressed, some frequencies signals are lost, particularly if it is encoded using a low bit rate. The Supreme technology is a Kenwood-original audio compensation technology that compensates for this loss and reproduces music in a more natural form, thereby making it possible to play music recorded using low bit rates (64k to 96k) in an audio-quality equivalent to music recorded using a higher bit rate (equivalent to 128k). Enjoy a natural, rich sound, even with lower compression ratios.

    What's in the Box
    Kenwood KDC-MP142, wireless remote (batteries included), sleeve, trim ring, wiring harness, installation tools, installation manual, operation manual, warranty card.

    5 out of 5 stars Looks good, one question   July 28, 2010
    Hemp>Else
    I bought this a while ago with a Jensen max power760 and I have yet to hook it up (need speakers) would I be able to hook up an amplified Subwoofer with the jensen powering all 4 speakers on this unit, or can it only run one amp? Thanks


    5 out of 5 stars does its job and sounds good doing it   July 5, 2010

    Very satisfied with this system, a nice upgrade from my factory set up. My main purpose for buying the cd deck was to be able to output to a subwoofer. I love the feature that allows you to turn on or off the sound that you send to the sub essentially being a "kill switch" if you want to cut the sub entirely (although a bit frustrating to find in the users manual because it is not set up as a default option). All in all its a cd deck that outputs good sound (I still have factory speakers so I haven't noticed a ton of change but it does sound clearer) and allows for control of the subwoofer. I would recommend this cd player to anyone on a budget but still want a great sounding system.


    5 out of 5 stars Great Receiver   June 27, 2010
    C. Hayes
    I purchased a refurbished receiver and installed it yesterday. Compared to the aftermarket JVC receiver it replaced, the sound difference is night and day. Installed it in a 2004 Acura RSX with a combination of factory (front) and aftermarket (rear) speakers along with a Bazooka powered sub. Before, the sub barely added bass and the factory speakers and after market speakers distored. Now with this receiver, the sound is incredible. No distortion, lots of bass, and overall great sound. Not to mention, the red back lighting of the buttons looks cool in a car with black interior and red back lighting on the interior lights. For the price, it can't be beat and I would recommend this unit to anyone!

    Its a pretty good player only problem is the face keeps slipping off but that could be an installation issue.
