f the double-sized factory radio in your vehicle leaves you yawning, Kenwood's DPX-MP4070 CD/cassette receiver delivers a 4-way entertainment wake-up call — CD, cassette, radio, and MP3/WMA playback. This versatile radio will play CDs, CD-Rs, and CD-RWs, including discs that you've loaded up with your favorite MP3 and WMA music files. Its full-logic cassette deck features Dolby B noise reduction and metal tape capability, while Kenwood's CR-2 tuner pulls in stations far and near.

The muscular built-in amplifier (22 watts RMS/50 peak x 4) will rock your speaker system. Plus, this model is ready for performance-enhancing expansion — you'll find two sets of preamp outputs to simplify adding external amps. The face features simple controls for easy operation, and the "Color Shock" display gives you a choice of 67 different background colors. You can set a color for each source, change colors every 6 hours, or scan continually through all 67 colors.

It's all about great sound, and the DPX-MP4070 lets you shape the music to perfection. System Q+ offers nine adjustable EQ curves, along with bass, treble, and midrange controls with adjustable centerpoints. SRS WOW uses home theater technology to improve bass response, focus the soundstage, and create a convincing "3D" surround effect.
