For owners of portable digital music players, the CDX-GT300 and CDX-GT400 receivers have an auxiliary input on the faceplate that makes it easy to plug in and play through car speakers. Both units are satellite radio ready, with a flip-down detachable faceplate and a wireless remote.
"We know that people transfer and store their music in different ways," said Andrew Sivori, general manager of Sony Electronics mobile electronics division. " This years Xplod lineup offers something for everyone."
The CDX-GT500 CD receiver has a full-motion florescent (FL) display with a "space producer" graphics engine. The "aux lite" auxiliary input allows for a customized installation for MP3 player integration and boasts three sets ofpreamp outputs.
With a motorized, synchro-flip, detachable faceplate, the CDX-RA700 unit is designed for those who wont settle for a "factory stock" stereo in their dash.
In addition to standard MP3 and ATRAC3/3plus playback, the CDX-GT300, 400, 500 and CDX-RA700 models can play WMA files burned to a disk.
