The Kenwood DDX6017 fits in the dash of most double din size automobile dashes. The DVD receiver has 5 screen modes that changes each time you press the MODE key.

The modes are Full picture, justify picture mode, cinema picture mode, zoom picture mode and normal picture mode. These screen mode can be set for DVD, VCD, and TV viewing.

The Kenwood DDx6017 has a great looking blue screen saver, but I would like to find a way to change it. It sounds great and looks good. The monitor/receiver has audio and visual input and output. So I'm going to experiment with the visual input to see if I can connect a pocket Pc or notebook Pc to it. I think it would be cool if I could go to the internet and read email or web pages from my car's dash board. I will add more pictures later, so stop by again.
