Sony has introduced its new Xplod CDX-GT45IP CD receiver, featuring the capability of supporting a wide range of auxiliary devices.

The features include a made-for-iPod hardwired dedicated input cable that charges the device and provides full menu control for most iPod models. All the iPod track data is displayed on the head unit's LCD display, while the player is charged.

The CDX-GT45IP player also provides a front panel auxiliary input for the connection of a MP3, mini-disc or cassette player. According to Sony, the head units enhance the sound quality of compressed audio files such as MP3, WMA and AAC files.

The 24-bit D/A conversion allows for increased accuracy in playback over a wide range of media formats and compression rates than other products in this category. The Xplod CDX-GT45IP incorporates a MOSFET 52Wx4 channel amplifier as well as two preouts for adding other gear such as subwoofers.

Along with CD and iPod functions, the CDX-GT45IP also has FM/AM & LW tuners with 18 FM and 12 AM preset buttons. The BTM (best tuning memory) feature allows easy tuning by picking up the strongest local stages and automatically setting them in frequency order to the preset buttons. Alternatively, the tuner allows options of auto tuning and manual tuning.

The CDX-GT45IP model comes in a retro, sporty look with red illumination buttons, and an intuitive operation. In addition, this set comes with Remote Commander that makes it easy to control the music from the front or the back of the car.

The Sony Xplod CDX-GT45IP head unit is available for Rs. 8,490.
