1979 Worlds first mobile PWM amp. The PWM switching power supply was far more efficient than conventional amps, as Sony demonstrated with the XM-1. 1950 Japans first audio tape recorder. The Type G changed recorded history. 1982 Worlds first mobile diversity reception tuner. Two FM antennas can do what one cannot minimize multipath distortion. Sony proved it with the XR-100.
1984 Worlds first mobile CD player. It only stands to reason that the company that co-invented the Compact Disc was first to bring the wonders of digital audio into the car, with the CDX-5 CD player and CDX-R7 CD/tuner.
1986 Worlds first Mobile A/V system. This included the XTV-5 and XTV-8 monitors, the EVX-S8 8mm video deck and the XVM-9 TV tuner with diversity reception.
2011 Sonys first Digital Link Sound System DLSS The XDP-PK1000 integrates iPod touch or iPhone music1 with no need to rip apart your dashboard. It even upgrades your bass, power, clarity and imaging!

2011 Worlds first Pandora internet radio control for three smartphone platforms The DSX-S310BTX supports Pandora control not only via iPhone devices1, but also Android and BlackBerry phones1.
1979 Worlds first Walkman player. Sony sets music in motion with the worlds first headphone personal stereo, the TPS-L2.
1981 Worlds first mobile frequency synthesis tuner. Before Sony, tuning a car radio meant turning a knob connected to a sloppy, imprecise variable capacitor. The Sony XT-1 changed all that.
1984 Worlds first mobile full-logic cassette deck. Before Sony, the Stop, Play, Fast Forward and Rewind buttons operated clunky levers and rods. Sony replaced them with electronically operated touchbuttons in the XR-740 and XR-780.
1986 Worlds first CD changer. Before it came into homes, the CD changer actually appeared in cars first with the CDX-J10 DiscJockey 10-disc changer.
1991 Worlds first Mobile digital preamplifier. Part of the legendary Mobile ES system, the XES-P1 included digital volume, balance, fader, parametric equalization and sound fields.
2010 Sonys first receiver with TomTom navigation The XNV-770BT in-dash AV receiver.

Installing a new car audio system... usually requires a trip to the mechanic... But if youre looking to install a new sound system in your car without all that hassle, Sonys XDP-PK1000 will install in your car without having to rip up the dashboard or perform any rewiring.

Everything I needed!
DSX-S310BTX
I am happy with this receiver and would recommend it to friends and family. It does everything I wanted out of a receiver and would buy it again in the current market. Sony Mobile Customer, Charlotte, NC
SOUNDS GREAT!
CDX-GT565UP
I literally bought, installed, listened to, and returned every other car stereo at Best Buy before coming across this one. Sony Mobile Customer, Elk River, MN
After a couple of hours of very enjoyable listening, I came away quite impressed with the sonic performance of this Sony DSX-S310BTX.
Garry Springgay, Performance Auto & Sound
Were most excited about the DSX-S310BTX with built-in Bluetooth. This in-car stereo is extra special because it is able to wirelessly stream Pandora radio from an Android or BlackBerry device, on-to your car stereo. Its actually the first of its kind to offer Pandora integration with Android and BlackBerry in such a manner.

XDP-PK1000 At a Glance
Theres never been anything quite like Sonys XDP-PK1000 Digital Link Sound System. Its more than iPhone5 integration. Its more than a subwoofer upgrade. Its the total solution that takes plain-vanilla factory radio to an entirely new level of sonic performance.
Power trip
While the hide-away DSP box drives your factory speakers, there's even more power at your command. The supplied subwoofer is driven by a powerful Class D amp with 300 watts of power to satisfy your soul.
Not all iPhone integration is created equal. Going from the headphone output to your factory radio is bush league. Going in via the FM tuner is even worse. Sony created a unique interfacepreamp-power amp that integrates your iPhone as never before. The adjustable, dash-mounted cradle for iPhone makes it easy to play back stored audio content or launch streaming audio apps.

This Digital Link Sound System makes exceptional iPhone5 integration even more accessible. Heres the easy way to connect your iPhone with maximum sound quality, to shape the sound with sophisticated Sony DSP and to power your tunes with 45 watts x 4 channels. Your factory radio never had it so good.
Power trip
Factory radios typically lack the power to take your music to the next level. Where factory radios can fall short, Sonys XDP-MU1 excels. The compact, 10 under-seat processor box includes plenty of power: 45 watts x 4. Net result? Your factory speakers will sound better than ever.
The headphone jack is a mediocre way to connect your iPhone portable into your car stereo. It degrades the sound by first making it analog. Connecting via FM radio is even worse. Sony created a unique interface-preamp-power amp that integrates your iPhone as never before. The adjustable, dash-mounted cradle for iPhone makes it easy to play back stored audio content or launch streaming audio apps.

Wires? Who needs them? Selected models provide Bluetooth protocols for hands-free calling and music streaming without wires.9 Not only does Bluetooth technology transmit phone calls and music, it puts the artist, track and title names on the receiver display. And because Sony supports a full range of Bluetooth protocols, you can even control your digital music player right from the receiver front panel! Limited by outdated Bluetooth technologies, some competitor's receivers can communicate with only one Bluetooth device at a time: either a phone or a digital music player but not both. Thanks to the advanced Sony Bluetooth technologies, Sony mobile receivers can connect two Bluetooth handhelds simultaneously. So even when youre enjoying a Bluetooth digital music player, the receiver can stay in communication with a Bluetooth phone. When the phone rings, the Sony receiver will automatically pause the music player to accommodate the call! Its no surprise that advanced Bluetooth technology comes from Sony.
Bluetooth Compatibility
Bluetooth 9 capabilities are developed according to "profiles" that may be included in specific devices. 2012 Sony Bluetooth receivers support the following profiles: Two-device operation limited by outdated Bluetooth technologies, some competitor's receivers can communicate with only one Bluetooth device at a time. Sony receivers can connect two simultaneously! So you can connect a Bluetooth phone and a Bluetooth digital music player and enjoy seamless switching when a call comes in!

Music Streaming
Forget about dealing with those messy wires. Bluetooth head units from Sony feature music streaming functionality, allowing you to wirelessly play back tunes from your Bluetooth enabled audio device.9 The A2DP profile transfers the signal with clear sound, so youll listen to your music the way it was meant to be heard.
Phonebook Access
Sony Bluetooth equipped receivers give you access to your compatible phones contact list thanks to the Phonebook Access Profile (PBAP).9 Phone book information loads seamlessly. Simply scroll through your contact list from the front panel to find the number then select it to dial.
Quick-Read Icons
Easy-to-Read Icons on the MEX-BT3000P and MEX-BT4000P light up to indicate an incoming text massage, the Bluetooth signal strength and the battery level of a Bluetooth connected smartphone.
In 2011, Sony became the worlds first mobile electronics manufacturer with Pandora internet radio control via Bluetooth technology.8 Its a tremendous benefit to the millions of Pandora account holders with Blackberry and Android smartphones. A world leader in internet radio, the Pandora service delivers the music you love anytime, anywhere. By rating songs thumbs up or down, you teach the system your musical preferences. The service then creates virtual radio stations just for you! Sony receivers integrate this service nicely, even displaying the Pandora artist name, track title, playing time and Thumbs Up/Down status. Pandora control for Android and Blackberry phones Bluetooth communication enables Pandora control with Blackberry and Android phones on the Sony MEX-BT3000P and XAV-64BT. Pandora control for iPhone, Android and Blackberry phones The following models offer Pandora control not only via Bluetooth (for Android and Blackberry phones), but also via USB 1-wire (for iPhone): MEX-BT4000P, DSX-S310BTX, XAV-601BT and XAV-701HD.

12-tone Analysis
The SensMe 12-tone analysis looks at seemingly simple parameters such as tempo (beats per minute), rhythm ratio and number of notes. But it can also identify more high-level features like three-chord songs, acoustic versus electric instruments, bright versus dark and happy versus sad. A level of timeline analysis identifies beat positions, bar lines and music structure. The system saves this information as metadata tags in the music files. This metadata accompanies the music onto compatible digital music players and USB drives. Not compatible with iPod or iPhone players.
The SensMe Channel display of Sony Mobile AV Receivers (XAV series) includes a thematic image for the channel (left) and album cover art (upper right).
SensMe Channels
In your car, SensMe channels make finding the right music as easy as picking a radio station. When you connect your compatible digital music player or USB drive to the head unit, youre ready to take advantage. Choose from any of 17 SensMe Channels, organized by mood (such as Energetic, Relax) time of day (Morning, Midnight) and driving occasion (Party Ride, Weekend Trip). The system can handle up to 500 tracks per channel. As an added bonus, Sony AV Receivers will even display the album cover art as each song plays.
SensMe Mood
How are you feeling right this minute? Happy? Sad? Somewhere in between? The SensMe mood function of Sony Mobile AV Receivers enables you to pinpoint your mood on a twodimensional chart. One dimension is Fast/Slow. The other is your choice of mood (Sad/Happy), Type (Soft/Hard), Style (Acoustic/ Electronic) or time (Morning/Midnight). The system arranges up to 200 tracks on the chart and plays the tracks in the circle around your select mood! Compatible Models: XAV-72BT, XAV-63 and 64BT.

Dynamic Loudness
When music playback is soft, the sound gets unnaturally thin. Thats because human hearing is far less sensitive to deep bass and extreme highs when the volume is low. The Loudness circuit was invented to correct this equalization imbalance. Loudness boosts the frequency extremes whenever the Volume control is turned down. Unfortunately, conventional Loudness cant take the program dynamics into account. But Sonys Dynamic Loudness can. It considers both the Volume setting and the dynamics of the content. You get powerful, natural sound at all settings of the volume control.

Listening Position
At home, youre free to sit where youll hear the best sound. In the car, youre not free at all. For example, the driver has no choice but to sit way too close to the front-left speaker. Sony compensates with the digital delay system we call Listening Position. By selectively delaying the channels, Sony aligns the arrival time for ideal sound. Independent settings for subwoofer and full-range speakers put you in complete control.

Built-in HPF/LPF Crossover
Full-range speakers may be okay for factory radio systems, but they have major limitations. For one, full-range speakers cant produce really low bass the way subwoofers can. And as the amplifier tries to push bass through full-range speakers, the treble distorts. Thats why advanced audio systems use multiple, specialized speakers, including subwoofers, mids and tweeters. And thats why Sony receivers have built-in active crossovers. The high-pass filter (HPF) strips out the bass and sends the audio signal to the internal amplifier or to the RCA outputs if you're using an external amp. The low pass filter (LPF) sends just the low bass to a subwoofer amp.
EQ3 Equalization
In the old days, your only way to adjust tone quality was the bass and treble knobs. Sony equalization goes light years beyond, with discrete bands of equalization. The result is far more sensitive, supple control. Parametric models even let you select the frequency bands, for even greater sound control. EQ3 Stage 2 Three frequency bands (60, 1,000 and 10,000 Hz) with 10 dB adjustment.

When it comes to giving you a good kick in the pants, there's no substitute for Sony amplifiers. Flexible output configurations fit your needs from one channel of power to many. With audiophile output stages, your music isnt just loud, its also clear. And sophisticated input level, crossover and low boost adjustments enable you to optimize the sound for your choice of speakers.

Channel Flexibility
Ask any audiophile or mobile audio expert. You'll hear that "bridging" a pair of amplifier channels results in a single channel of roughly twice the power. Many of today's best systems take advantage of this high power technology. That's why all Sony multi-channel amps can be bridged for maximum flexibility.
Internal Crossover
To get the full benefit of your speakers, youll need to send them the appropriate musical frequencies. Thats why our amplifiers offer internal crossovers. A crossover consists of two filters: the High Pass Filter (HPF) sends everything but the deepest bass to full-range speakers while the Low Pass Filter (LPF) sends only the deep bass to the subwoofers. Filter adjustments enable you to set the frequency at which the music "crosses over" from full-range speakers to subwoofer. A separate bass boost adjustment enables you to optimize the bass for your specific choice of subwoofer.

Class D Amplification
"Powerful" doesn't have to mean big, heavy or hot. Conventional Class AB amplifiers only manage to convert 50 to 60% of incoming power into output to the speakers. The rest gets dissipated as heat. At 90%, Sony's Class D amplification is far more efficient than traditional Class AB amplifiers. As a result, the XM-GS100, XM-1S and XM-ZZR3301 deliver incredible power without filling up or heating up your trunk. These Class D amps are designed or subwoofer use only.

Tweater Adjustments
Unlike deep bass, highs are "directional." That's why Sony o mounted the tweeter of the XS-GS1720 at a 10 angle. And o that's why you can rotate the tweeter mount 270 . So you get clear, powerful highs whether you mount the speaker on a rear shelf or at the bottom of a door.
Crossovers
Sony speakers use passive crossovers to separate the frequency bands for woofers and tweeters. These carefully designed crossover networks lower distortion by providing each driver with only the correct frequencies.
