THE LINK BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR MUSIC

Music – we all move to different beats whether it’s hip-hop, reggae, jazz or disco.Clarion has adopted an ‘Any Source, Any Time’ way of thinking.

With provisions for USB memory devices, SD card slots, front panel auxiliary inputs and easy-to-use iPod® interfaces, there’s no portable device you can’t enjoy through your audio system.

Front AUX input terminal for quick connection of portable music players

Plug it in and turn it up! Connect any audio and video portable device. The front panel auxiliary input featured on several source units provides connectivity with clarity.

USB terminal to increase connectivity to a variety of peripheral devices

Drag and drop - that’s all you have to do to copy your entire music collection onto a USB memory stick. Then simply plug it in to your Clarion USB-enabled head unit and listen to countless hours of your favourite music. For 2007, Clarion USB-enabled radios will allow you to access more than 65,000 songs from a single USB device, and view ID3 tag information so you know what you’re listening to.

Control of iPods on the main unit

The EA1276 interface takes iPod integration to another level. It features the capability of navigation through playlists, similar to changing tracks on a CD. The EA1276 will charge the battery in your iPod as you listen, so you’ll be ready to go when you arrive at your destination.

Support of wide variety of digital era media and compression formats

Now, playing that music is just as easy. Clarion has added Apple iTunes® AAC file support to our existing MP3 and WMA compressed digital audio compatibility.

Sound Restorer complements sound content lost during compression

When audio files are compressed into MP3, WMA, or AAC format, every attempt is made to remove information which is not easily heard. This is called perceptual encoding. The drawback is that frequencies over 10 kHz are often lost or distorted. Clarion’s exclusive “Sound Restorer” processing recreates those subtle nuances and harmonics back into the recording. Compressed music files simply won’t sound like compressed music any longer.

SLIDETRAK sideways control

Clarion takes H.M.I. to the next level with SLIDETRAK for precise control of key features on the head unit. Simply swipe your fingertip to easily adjust the volume. Preset radio station and CD track controls are also incorporated into the multifunctional display, so you can navigate through preset stations or select your favourite music track by sliding your finger to either side of the display. SLIDETRAK also maximises available space on the head unit to create a large, easy-to-read display. This promotes safe driving, as you can now operate the stereo while keeping the eyes on the road.

SHOOTING STAR: Buttons put together could be associated with the image of shooting stars

Advances in H.M.I. design takes many forms. The new DB178RMP through to DXZ378RMP feature our new Shooting Star control panel design. Shooting Star puts all the controls as close as possible to the driver and allows for a larger, easier to read LC display that contains more information. A centrally located rotary volume knob underscores this advanced design.

FB278RBT - Cool design, totally different from units in the past

Clarion isn’t afraid to be different. This is what was behind the design of FB278RBT. A unique featured set combined with our ‘Metal Shark Gill’ design which makes this deck stand out in the crowd. Unconventional materials, indirect lighting and aggressive styling combine to make a source unit that will attract attention, even before you turn it on.

DUB278RMP - A modern living room for cars

Clarion designers thrive on creativity. The result – DUB278RMP. This unit incorporates a simple and stylish design, one that is smooth and clean. The H.M.I. interface is clear and effective, adding to the uncluttered look. Add unique features like front-panel auxilliary input and USB with variable colour illumination, and DUB278RMP stands out in the crowd.
