CD and WMA/MP3 Playback

Not feeling like waiting for a disc to burn? Throw a bunch of tunes on a USB thumb drive and play back directly, using the front-panel USB input.
Superior iPod and iPhone Connectivity
Enjoy the familiar operational feel of your iPod and iPhone, with album/artist/song/playlist on-screen display and more. The simple control mode enables system operation using just the iPod/iPhone controls, including ABC search. For audio playback, just use a standard 30-pin to USB cable, like that provided with your iPod / iPhone. As an added bonus, iTunes Tagging via the HD Radio makes it easy to purchase the songs you like.
Front-panel USB for playback from USB thumb drives and iPod control.
Two pairs of 2V preamp outputs for system expansion.
Front-Panel Auxiliary Input
For your other MP3 players, or pretty much anything with a headphone output, a convenient front-panel 3.5mm auxiliary input is provided.
Beat EQ and MAGNA BASS EX for Precisely Powerful Sound
In addition to providing 3 preset equalization patterns, Beat EQ lets you customize the level and range of the bass, midrange, and treble of each pattern. In addition, MAGNA BASS EX boosts the 50Hz range, to deliver dynamic bass performance. You'll get full-range sound at any volume level.
45W x 4 MOS-FET Power Amp
CZ301 has a MOS-FET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) power amplifier capable of delivering 45W x 4 of high quality sound with superior linearity and less distortion than conventional power amps even with the volume cranked up.
Two 2V Preamp Outputs
If you still need a little more power, the CZ301 provides two stereo pairs (four channels) of two-volt RCA outputs (front + rear/subwoofer) for expanding your system, complete with high- and low-pass filters and a separate subwoofer volume.
HD Radio Ready With iTunes Tagging and SIRIUS Direct Connect
CZ301 is ready for connection to HD Radio tuner (THD301) for crystal clear digital quality radio, with iTunes Tagging for easy purchase of songs heard over the radio. Or connect the optional SIRIUS Direct Connect for genre-specific programming from music and talk, to news and traffic, from coast to coast.

Clarion CZ301 CD/MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver with USB Port Reviews
| 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Delivers, This review is from: Clarion CZ301 CD/MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver with USB Port (Electronics) When I saw the price I thought this was worth a shot. The price is well below MSRP. The reason I wanted this unit was it combined iPod control through the usb and Sirius. I listen very little to CD (surprise!) but wanted the option just in case. I really didn't have any major issues but I would like to have seen a nicer display with more info displayed. What I didn't know but the installer told me was that it could be connected to my steering wheel volume and station controls. I did this and am very happy. Very good stereo. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Mixed feelings, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Clarion CZ301 CD/MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver with USB Port (Electronics) Pros:Amazing sounding. Tons of personalized EQ options, so many that I don't know what to do with. CD player, radio, USB connection for ipods or even just a flash drive, etc. Amazing. My car speakers are honestly pretty poor (and tend to crackle when pushed a little too hard) but even so, music sounds beautiful coming out of this thing. Has a real "surround sound" feel to it. Cons: Error. Error. Error. I am worried what this thing is doing to my ipod. There has not been one car drive where we haven't had an error message when connecting my ipod. The Clarion also causes my ipod to constantly reset itself. Thankfully it hasn't crashed - I have not lost songs. But it worries me. It can be very very frustrating listening to your favorite song and then all of a sudden SILENCE, because the ipod is now inexplicably resetting itself. Part of me loves the clarion and I'd be lying if I said I haven't gotten a ton of use out of it and never drive... Read more  What's missing!!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Clarion CZ301 CD/MP3/WMA/AAC Receiver with USB Port (Electronics) Pro reviews say that this head is lacking in features though I have no idea what they're talkin' about. This thing has an aux front input, a USB, it's bluetooth ready and HD and sirius ready. It will take steering column controls and it has a remote. What's missing. This is the heart of a killer system of 4 Clarion 1632's which just scream. |
