Oversized high-definition display

An optically gapless 25.7 cm (10.1 in) high-definition LCD panel offers enhanced picture quality, and its clean interface enables safer and easier operation than ever.
 

Easily adjustable tilt and swivel

The newly designed tilt and swivel mechanism lets you manually adjust the oversized high-definition display's viewing angles. The display joint's screw-less structure gives you a range of ±15 degrees, both horizontally and vertically, with no tools required—even after installation.

Sound customisation

The built-in DSP offers sound processing and time alignment—down to a remarkable 1 cm for each of the five addressable channels (four speakers and subwoofer via pre-out). A 14-band EQ lets you adjust the overall sound to your music or taste, and with the three-zone crossover, you can arrange the perfect match of front, rear and subwoofers.
