    Kenwood DNX9140 (or other) - Video Resolution & Bitrate settings for full screen

    For folks that have Kenwood video units, what are people using for their resolution & bit rate settings to get full screen video (no black bars, esp on left/right) under Normal mode? I tried a couple combos for both DivX (via USB) as well as MP4 (on iPod), including the max resolution of...

    Kenwood DNX9140...who has it here?

    I have the 9140 and LOVE it. Sounds totally awesome with very extensive tuning controls. The interface could be better, but once you have used it a bit and settled down with it, its pretty ok. Garmin nav is awesome. I like the sound of this much better than a single-din Pioneer I had before...

    Double din touch headunit

    I have the DNX 9140, and it does everything you are looking for - just not sure about active capability. Love the sound of it, and has tonnes of audio tweaking options including car type, dta, 13-band eq etc. Plays ipod videos, divx etc as well. The only drawback is that interface is not very...

    I hate IPods

    Updating and renaming files is easy yes, but then synching back those files to ipod/other play/hard drive is not. Neither is creating playlists on USB drives!

    I hate IPods

    I LOVE itunes for its simplicity to update the iPod. Drag and drop is SO old-school. Here's why - I like to manage my music quite actively, meaning keeping the tags updated, rename if required and what not. And I want to see those changes in the iPod that I use in car. If it were drag and drop...

    Eclipse AVN726E - Anyone have any info?

    As far as I know, the 726E does not have this feature (called Dual Zone). I went through the online manual a while back, and there was no mention of this, and the dealer I work with agreed that it does not have it. So you will not be able to run 2 a/v sources at the same time.

    9140 installed

    Nice pics! Did you experience the delay with iPod album art as well? And if yes, how bad is it?! Also, any updates to comparison of this to the Eclipse 726E, esp sound / video quality?

    Help me decide on Eclipse AVN726E, Alpine IVA-W505, Kenwood DNX8120.

    Have been looking at these myself, but the Kenwood 9140 instead of 8120. From what I have read so far, the sound quality between these three is almost the same. Nav is the best on Kenwood (garmin), features Kenwood has more than both including voice activated controls on the 9140. Have read bad...

    Eclipse AVN726E - Anyone have any info?

    You are right - it is 5V. Good to know the preference for 8120; feel better about my decision to go with 9140 now

    Eclipse AVN726E - Anyone have any info?

    Nice pics! You mean he preferred the 6620 to this? I like the interface a lot. Simple and easy to use, but it is missing good SQ features. Surprised at what you say about the sound. The preouts on this are supposed to be 8V - technically better than the 5V. If you get a chance to compare this...

    Cool! How about a review, and other questions in my post above ^

    Eclipse AVN726E - Anyone have any info?

    2 Guard - Do you get album art with the iPod? None of the pics in the manual show it, so I assumed no, but would like to hear first-hand confirmation. Also, do you have the iPod connected for video? If yes, how are the controls etc for that?
