Designed for your single-sized dash opening, Clarion's VZ509 DVD receiver gives you CD and DVD playback, along with a host of built-in and optional features. Power up and a 7" touchscreen motors out, giving you fingertip control over your vehicle's entertainment system.
Go for great sound
The VZ509's premium digital-to-analog converter brings out all the details in your tunes, and the internal amp puts out plenty of power. You can set the built-in low- and high-pass filters so that your speakers see only the frequencies they were designed to handle. Got a sub? The handy subwoofer volume control lets you dial in just the right amount of bass.
BeatEQ gives you the toneshaping power of a 3-band parametric equalizer, along with three adjustable tone curves. Magna Bass EX lets you dial in big bass when you want it, and BBE MP reproduces the warmth, nuance and harmonics that may have been lost when you created your digital music files. Clarion includes a handy remote for on-the-fly changes.
Keep your backseat passengers happy
Enjoy watching DVDs up front while you're parked, or hook up a video screen in the back so the kids can watch movies as you drive. In 2-Zone mode, they can watch a DVD in back while you play your favorite driving music up front.
iPod® controls and more
Connect your iPod to the rear USB slot, and you'll get touchscreen control over your tunes — no adapter required. Add an optional adapter, and you can play videos from your iPod on the 7" screen. The VZ509 plays your store-bought and recordable CDs and DVDs, including those you've loaded with MP3, WMA, and AAC files. Load up a DVD with digital tunes, and you'll have days of music for your next trip.
Your options don't end there — add an optional satellite radio tuner and get the nearly endless variety of entertainment available. Or add a Bluetooth® adapter to enable hands-free calling and high-speed music streaming. Clarion's optional hide-away GPS system lets you add navigation to the VZ509. And three sets of preamp outputs let you add amps and subs to the mix.
