Ken: Hi, I'm Ken. We're here at the Crutchfield studios with Deb.
Deb: And I'm the proud new owner of a Dual XHD7714 car stereo. When I got it, it was
$200 chock full of features.
Ken: Yeah, you've been telling everybody about this and, you know, as I look at it, I see,
it looks like it does a lot. Care if I quiz you on it?
Deb: Feel free.
Ken: Alright. I see you've got Bluetooth. Are you using Bluetooth?
Deb: I'm using Bluetooth like mad, because when my phone rings the radio mutes and on
the display it tells me the phone number of who's calling. And instead of reaching around
for this, all I got to do is hit this one button, and I can answer my calls.
Ken: That's nice. And you get the number like you said.
Deb: Yeah.
Ken: So you know who to take a call from and...
Deb: ...Who to ignore.
Ken: Yeah, that's..
Deb: I'm sorry, call back later.
Ken: That's important sometimes, right? And over here, got a nice set of inputs. Got the
USB and the aux input.
Deb: Right.
Ken: Are you using those?
Deb: Yes, those are for my iPod. You get the two connector, you use both inputs when you're
playing your iPod and it gives you full control.
Ken: Okay, and what about the display. Do you see what's on the iPod?
Deb: Yeah, you get title and artist information.
Ken: Okay.
Deb: It's really cool.
Ken: Great. And, I notice we've also got an HD radio. Is that built in?
Deb: Yes.
Ken: Wow.
Deb: You don't need an extra adapter box, it's built into the radio. And I've got preset
1 is an HD station for me. Preset 2 I set for a regular station.
Ken: Now, how about the sound quality difference?
Deb: Sound quality is phenomenal. The sound quality for the HD station is practically
CD. And I'm using factory speakers, and I can tell the difference.
Ken: Nice, and I hear a lot of HD stations have different programming on different channels.
Have you found that to be the case?
Deb: On the lower, the public radio stations you get as many as three stations per station
basically.
Ken: Nice, and I got to ask you about this one. I've been looking at this. It's got this
button that says 'Tag.' What is up with 'Tag.'
Deb: You're it! Actually, 'Tag' is iTunes tagging. When you, on an HD station, when
you hear a song that you like, instead of trying to find, you know, fumble through your
purse for your pen trying to write down the song, you just hit the 'Tag' button. It remembers
title and artist. When you plug in your iPod, it transfers the info, when you go to iTunes,
transfers the info there and you can buy the song.
Ken: At your convenience, right?
Deb: At your convenience.
Ken: Pretty neat. Well, we've covered a lot: Bluetooth, HD, Tag, inputs. Am I forgetting
something?
Deb: Yeah. It does one thing. Still plays CDs. I have a ton of CDs and it still plays
CDs.
Ken: All your favorites, right?
Deb: Everything.
Ken: Sounds like a winner. Well, as you can see, Deb's a pretty happy camper. If you want
to find out more about this receiver, you can go to Crutchfield.com/7714.
