EASY OPERATION (4 Line Text Display / Music Browser / Short Cut Bar)
The display automatically slides out, rises to your ideal viewing angle (8 presets) and
then retracts horizontally to your chosen viewing distance (4 presets) – a distinctive
Z-shaped motion that gives rise to the Zaction name. Featuring a slimmer design, the
unique Zaction mechanism allows installation in a wider range of vehicles.
NEW, FULL-AUTO “ZACTION” TV MECHANISM
REVERSE TILT MECHANISM
For adding rear-view camera to your system, a dedicated RCA video input is available
on new Kenwood In-dash monitor systems. When selecting reverse gear, the system
detects the signal from reverse line and automatically switches to view from the cam-
era. It even features a horizontal image fl ip function to provide a mirror view and give
the driver a correctly-oriented image of the rear camera view.
Depending on the vehicle, in-car monitors are installed in a variety of heights and an-
gles, and this sometimes results in reduced visibility due to refl ected glare from sunlight.
In particular, vehicles such as RVs with high mounting positions suffer from this problem.
Kenwood’s solution is the newly developed reverse tilt mechanism: in addition to the
traditional tilt mechanism that allows the bottom of the monitor to be tilted forward
over 5 positions, the reverse tilt also allows the top of the monitor to tilt forward to
eliminate refl ected glare.
When iPod or USB devices are connected via USB, 4 Line text is displayed for easy operation,
while the Music Browser function searches Tag information on the connected devices, and
sorts into orders by Genre, Artist, Album, and Title automatically. In addition the Short cut
bar function allows quick search from huge library of compressed music fi les.
The iPod Album Art function enables to the display of album art which is attached to
the song, on the main screen. With this user friendly function, you can browse your
favorite artist’s artwork on 7” Wide monitor.
