Sony's sharply styled CDX-GT340 CD receiver offers exceptional performance and a wallet-friendly price tag. You'll get full iPod® control when paired with Sony's optional adapter, and this receiver's ready for further expansion with Sony's optional satellite radios or HD Radio™ tuner.

But you don't need to add on to enjoy this stereo. It plays MP3 and WMA files from disc, as well as all of your store-bought and home-burned CDs. Plug any portable audio player into the front-panel auxiliary input, and check out your favourite tracks and playlists. The CDX-GT340's tuner delivers Radio Data System info from participating AM or FM stations, including station call letters and song info (artist, title, and album).

The rock-solid built-in amp and CD deck deliver great sound. Go ahead and build a full system with external amps and subs. Two sets of preamp outputs provide a clean signal to your amps, while adjustable high- and low-pass filters ensure maximum efficiency and clean sound from your speakers. The handy remote control lets your passengers run the show without bothering the driver.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with the receiver's optional iPod adapter.
