Clarion VRX578RUSB: An affordable multimedia head unit from Clarion


The Clarion VRX578RUSB takes High End multimedia to the masses. Equipped with our industry leading iPOD user interface with Video Playback, a USB slot, 2-Zone entertainment and compatibility with Clarion bluetooth hide-away products, the Clarion VRX578RUSB provides you with functionality like you'd never expected.

The VRX578RUSB brings high-end multimedia to the car. The 1-DIN Multi-Format Media Station with a 7" touch control panel is equipped with Clarions iPod® user interface including video playback, a USB port, and two-zone entertainment. It is also compatible with the BLT373 Bluetooth® interface from Clarion. With all of this, it enables an undreamt-of functionality. The VRX578RUSB achieves perfect multimedia and the highest comfort and, for the first time, waives all compromises in the equipment!

To ensure that the sound is convincing even without an additional power amplifier, there are already four powerful MOSFET power amplifiers with 50 watts integrated into the device. A 24 bit D/A converter provides first-class sound quality, as do the integrated active crossovers, whose high-pass filters even protect the speakers connected to the integrated power amplifiers from energetic bass frequencies. The VRX578RUSB sets new standards in functionality and performance with the H.M.I. interface from Clarion. In keeping with this, the VRX578RUSB is controlled with a control panel that works intuitively and simply so that the driver can always keep his eyes on the road. The iPod has revolutionised the market for portable media like no other device, and Clarion has achieved an exemplary integration of the iPod. This allows for audio controls as well as video playback to take place via the iPod.

The multimedia station also plays back DivX files. DivX is the most common video compression format worldwide, allowing you to watch videos any place at any time. If you connect any given USB storage medium to the VRX578RUSB, you can access up to 15,000 songs in MP3, WMA, or AAC format from iTunes®. Furthermore, the ID3 tag data are shown on the display, revealing information about the current album, the artist, and the song. The system can support a maximum of 255 folders, with up to 15,000 songs per folder.

2-zone entertainment serves to entertain all of the car’s occupants: The driver can listen to his favourite radio station, for example, while the passengers on the rear seat can enjoy a DVD movie using, for instance, one of Clarion’s top entertainment devices.
