Hi-Res audio Wireless

High-resolution audio is high-quality sound that significantly exceeds CD standards and can play 192 kHz / 24 bit audio files.
LDAC is an audio compression technology that allows high-resolution audio sources to be transmitted via Bluetooth. Approximately 3 times more data can be transmitted compared to a conventional Bluetooth codec (SBC). High-resolution audio sources can be processed without converting them to lower frequencies and bit rates. With these features, unprecedented, high-quality sound is achieved.

4 camera connection

The DMX9720XDS has 4 camera inputs, providing maximum convenience, flexibility, and safety. You can connect a KENWOOD control panel (DRV-N520 sold separately) (or a front camera), rear and blind spot cameras (left/right). Screen switching between the 4 cameras can be easily controlled via the receiver's large display.
(The AV input can be assigned as the 4th camera input).
