CD and WMA/MP3 Playback

Enjoy your favorite CDs or CD-R/RW discs, or burn CD-R/RWs full of MP3/WMA digital audio files for hours of playback on a single disc.

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.
