There was a time when the meaning of “multimedia” was limited to audio and video. Today, the term embraces much more. Clarion’s innovations in the mobile electronics industry have done much to expand the types of media that can now be operated from a single, integrated source unit.

Clarion is proud to announce two new DVD multimedia stations—the VZ400 and VX400. These advanced digital multimedia controllers, designed for use in protected, dry locations, provide touch panel control for AM/FM and satellite radio, DVD, portable devices, hands-free cell phone operation, rear vision and camera.

Both DVD multimedia stations feature a spacious touch control panel. The VZ400, a single DIN unit with a flip up screen, is ideal when space is limited. The double DIN VX400 features a stationary mounted touch screen.

Both units provide iPod™ direct control via a USB port (requires optional CCA748 to play iPod™ video). With Bluetooth® built -in, cell phone calls can be listened to over the audio system.

Music lovers will notice right away how clean and distinct are the bass, mid-range and high frequency responses. This is the result of built-in high pass and low pass filters coupled with a 3-band parametric equalizer that enables customization of the entire sound spectrum.

A dedicated rear vision RCA input enables connection to a camera to allow a yacht to back into a slip with an unobstructed view (optional CK625E required).
