If you are anxious to evolve beyond the usual mobile audio system and get into mobile video, but don?t want to take out a second mortgage on your house, the CQ-DVR592U might be just what you are looking for. This 1-DIN head unit provides standard CD playback, AM/FM tuning, amplification to drive speakers, and last but not least, it also plays DVD-Video discs. The composite video output (via an RCA jack) delivers a crisp signal to an LCD monitor (not supplied); for example, the Panasonic CY-VM5800U would be ideal. The head?s own display can show CD-Text, a spectrum analyzer display, and other information. The CQ-DVR592U can play CD-R and CD-RW discs, including discs holding MP3 data. It has a six-channel analog output as well as an optical digital output for Dolby Digital and DTS data (for external decoding).
