The DXZ865MP is one of source units with Clarion's next generation Optimedia technology. The Optimedia touch screen combines gorgeous graphics with fingertip control. In 2006, Optimedia has evolved from its first-generation monochrome to full color. We didn't stop with color, of course. This display technology vastly improves the quality of motion graphics, and revamped layouts make it easy to navigate through the on-screen menus. For unequaled looks and unequaled control… Optimedia.

Road noise and wind noise can seriously degrade sound quality in vehicles. Low frequency road noise drowns out bass, and high frequency wind noise drowns out treble, so we fight back with the ADF circuit in our high-end source units. Clarion's unique Anti-Distortion Filter eliminates phase distortion and lets you hear a more natural frequency balance. The result: Crystal-clear sound… with low frequencies and high frequencies in perfect harmony.

Clarion equipped the DXZ865MP with a Low-Pass Filter designed for optimal subwoofer performance. Users can select cut-off frequencies of 50, 80, and 120 Hz… attenuating upper bass, midrange and treble frequencies to keep your bass pure and unadulterated. Selecting the correct cut-off frequency gives you harder, tighter and cleaner bass.

What's the best way for Clarion's DXZ865MP source unit to pump 212 watts of power through four channels (53 × 4) with superior linearity? MOS-FET amplification, of course. Metal-oxide field-effect transistors are smaller and more efficient than typical “chip” amplification sections, and Clarion's power section delivers more power, less distortion, and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. Crank it up, turn it down, but, either way, Clarion's MOS-FET amplifier pumps out power like you've never heard it.
