CD receiver



Stock Status: Discontinued


Product Code: 113KDC138


Description Features Crutchfield Hands-on Research Accessories
 

Kenwood's KDC-138 CD receiver includes a front-panel auxiliary input with a handy feature that isn't usually found on lower-priced receivers. You can adjust the input's level so you won't get drastic changes in volume when you switch to or from the auxiliary source. This user-friendly Kenwood also features a 5-function toggle switch on the right side of the faceplate that makes it easy to adjust your settings on the go.

The stereo's built-in amplifier offers plenty of power, and you can shape the sound with a 3-band equalizer and six preset tone curves. If you're adding a subwoofer, the set of preamp outputs include a low-pass filter and level adjustment to keep the signal clean for great-sounding bass.

Another fine kenwood unit March-29-11
Reviewer: BruceD from Maryland  
I am an avid Kenwood fan and have owned several models over the years. My
mother is old fashioned and needed a basic, easy to use model for her 1997
Dodge Ram. Once installed everything sounded great, and I felt the controls
were easy enough for anyone that isn't up to snuff on technology. Her only
complaint is that the clock is fairly small and I couldnt figure out how to make it
the larger size display. I have since then installed the KDC-345U in her other
vehicle and have decided to get another one of those to put in the Ram. I'll be
installing this stereo in my Kia Spectra5 and because of having driven her truck
many times before I know I will be quite satisfied with it. I recommend this
stereo to anybody that doesnt have to have the clock out front and most
noticable and just wants a basic stereo. I use mine mainly to listen to my mp3
player with the aux cable so it will work just great.


 
Good stereo for the money March-15-11
Reviewer: jugold730 from Clarksville, MD  
Great stero for the money! My 17 year old brother installed with no hassle. The
plastic unit included so it would fit my 2005 civic was a good money saver. The bass
boost is really good. Only complaint is that it a song ID program would be nice to
have on it. Also very easy to use and easy to change the clock since daylight
savings just started. I would by it again or recommend it. Like I said a song ID
program would be nice.


 
Xcellent for the price March-11-11
Reviewer: Anonymous person from Lynchburg va  
Xcellent deal for the price. With the price as the major factor I don't think you
could reasonably ask for more. If you expect a top notch unit expect to pay a top
notch price. I would buy again if I'm just looking for a cheap stereo.

Reviewer: Jp from Califas  
Simple and easy to operate.
Bright color, smooth buttons.
Equalizer leaves a little to be desired (it resets when you switch inputs).
Also, the clock could have been bigger, with less track display.
All-in-all, worth the price when CrutchfieldŽ includes all the extra goodies.
