Nope I wish it did. Does Kenwood now have those in their 2007 Xcellon decks?

If so I'm planning on upgrading - I'm forced to use the Kenwood iPOD adapter (ip-500 - I think) It's very slow and I have to trick the deck sometimes to get it to play normally. I have to press scan then random them random again. If I don't do this the ipod will only play 4 album out of 180

Weird

cheers

Kenwoods new KDC-X891 only has 5ch time alignment

Problem is I only use one set of pre-outs due to my AudioControl Overdrive & EQL.

I personally want to get the DDX8019 double din 6.95 DVD unit to replace my existing radio!

the 4-5 ft difference is way, way, way to small for time alighnment.

Doesn't electricity travel 186,000 miles per hour?

do the math and find out how many micro (or Nano?)seconds of delay for 5 ft.

^^186,000 miles per SECOND!! or 300,000,000 meters/second...and yeah if the previous suggestion was to use time alignment to correct for the wire difference...impossible...you'd need an adjustability in the billionth of a second category....I don't think there's a unit out there that's that accurate!!!

For 2 meters the delay is 7ns. Good luck adjusting that, lol.

Shouldn't this thread have died at the second post when the answer was no?
