Spice up your drive with our CD receiver's high definition 3D action graphics that look especially cool on the illuminated blue display. There are five motion patterns, including Formula 1 racecar action and a scenic cityscape called Metropolis, and 10 still images to choose from. You can also customize the background (motion/still image), opening, and ending screens using your own images stored on a CD-R/RW disc. All you have to do is download the images you like, burn them onto a CR-R/RW disc, and load the disc into the CD receiver. You'll be able to replace the pre-installed images with the new images on your disc. Using the customizing software, Image Studio, you can edit and process your own digital images (video and stills) to use as 3D Dot matrix background screens.

What if your car's four speakers could deliver the virtual ambience and soundstage depth of a 5.1-channel surround system? SRS CS Automotive technology makes that possible with multi-channel sound not just from DVD videos, but from any music source including the radio, WMAs, MP3s, and CDs. This 3D sound reproduction technology is based on HRTF (Head Related Transfer Function) theory. It compensates the signal based on the way humans determine sound directionality according to frequency changes. This lets you experience a natural sound field anywhere in the car, unlike artificial sound-field manipulation by methods such as time delay. TruBass and Focus functions are also provided to bring back the rich bass and sparkling treble tones that tend to be lost in compressed music formats like MP3 and WMA.

Other features include:

• Sound quality settings: Personalize your sound system with our SQ9 nine-band graphic equalizer. Not only does it provide manual adjustments to help you fine tune your music, but it also offers a series of one-touch equalizer settings, such as Rock, Pop, Vocal, Jazz, Club and Flat.
• Large rotary knob: A large rotary volume control knob on the left side of the front panel adds to the hi-fi audio image. Operation is easy and familiar. Push in on the large knob to make item selections, and turn to adjust level. Not only does it operate smoothly, but it also provides a satisfying tactile solidity.
• Detachable faceplate: Remove the faceplate for added security when you leave your vehicle.
