Kenwood 200-Disc CD Changer

Kenwood 200-Disc CD Changers have many different features that make
them ideal complements to your Kenwood receiver. Some changer mod-
els can store disc and track titles for all loaded discs, and then download
this information to your receiver for display on PowerTouch’s screen.
Others can play 2 different CDs in 2 different rooms at the same time
with the VR-4900/KRF-V9993D. You can easily activate all these features
using just a few of PowerTouch’s buttons.
