$69 off Dual XDV-8125 Vehicle CD Player with AM/TM Radio, TV Tuner, and 2.5" LCD Screen (now $280.99 with FREE shipping) Posted Monday, December 12, 2005 by David
Adding a unique twist to conventional car stereos, the Dual XDV-8125 Vehicle CD Player with AM/TM Radio, TV Tuner, and 2.5" LCD Screen includes not just a CD player and AM/FM tuner, but also a 2.5-inch LCD screen that receives live TV reception. Thanks to the TV tuner, car owners can pick up the ballgame, catch a few moments of All My Children, or watch the local news while in the car--provided they're parked, of course. The resolution is crisp at 480 by 234 (with backlight), and Dual threw in six TV presets so you can quickly surf among your favorite channels. The in-dashboard device even includes two sets of AV inputs for connecting to a DVD player, game console, or other video source.
And when watching TV isn't appropriate--such as while driving--viewers can simply adjust the motorized faceplate to reveal the CD slot and the dot-matrix LCD screen, which details the system information. The CD player supports CD-R and CD-RW playback, while the radio tuner boasts 18 FM and 12 AM station presets.
Sound-wise, the Dual XDV-8125 Vehicle CD Player with AM/TM Radio, TV Tuner, and 2.5" LCD Screen features a robust internal amplifier (22 watts x 4) that gives your music a rich, full-bodied flair. To further boost the audio, Dual included a two-band semi-parametric equalizer and five selectable EQ curves (pop, jazz, classic, beat, and rock). The multiple settings are ideal for listeners who like to customize the audio to fit their tastes. And it's easy to make such adjustments while driving due to the oversized control knob.
Other features include an adjustable viewing angle for the TV (choose from 43 tilt angles); front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs that help you build a bigger system; a video output for connecting the TV tuner to larger monitors; and a wireless remote that makes tuning easier than ever. As an added bonus, the Dual XDV-8125 Vehicle CD Player with AM/TM Radio, TV Tuner, and 2.5" LCD Screen also supports an optional camera connected to the rear of the vehicle, a nice add-on for people in SUVs or other large vehicles who frequently need to parallel park. When enabled, the screen automatically switches to the rear view camera each time the driver shifts into reverse.
