Sony has unveiled two new Xplod in-car CD audio systems in the form of the Xplod CDX-GT920U and the Xplod CDX-GT620U in-dash units, both of which have been designed from the ground up very much with digital media in mind in offering a host of digital audio file format support as well as sporting integrated USB ports.

Featuring Sony’s Quick BrowZer technology offering intuitive playlist navigation, both the CDX-GT920U and CDX-GT620U, as well as featuring a USB port, offer MP3, non-DRM AAC and non-DRM WMA playback via both CD and the aforementioned USB flash memory drives and also come with a faceplate mounted aux input allowing you to hook you your portable digital media players with ease. The higher priced CDX-GT920U also comes with iPod, HD Radio and satellite radio compatibility.

Whilst the CDX-GT920U also sports multi-line display offers smooth, clean, solid movement of graphics and a higher resolution at 30 x 39 DPI and eight degrees of contrast for improved readability as opposed to the CDX-GT620U’s black LED display – as can be seen courtesy of the supplied imagery.

      I have purchased a sony explod about 7 months ago, and for the past 3 months i have been experincing problems with the cd player, I cant understnd why it just goes silent but if I change from the cd to FM station the sound is perfect, My concern is that the CD has a problem and i need to either exchange the radio or some one to tell me what i can do.

      Very disappointing for Sony product
