February 6, 2008 Aquatic AV Inc announces its second generation of Multi-Environment Digital Media products. We're pleased to announce 2 new models, 2 Radio/CD/DVD platforms These new additions host Aquatic's commitment to "over engineering" when considering water, dust and humidity conditions, but this time Aquatic adds several features specifically planned for the aftermarket. Dave Black, Aquatic AV's President said "Our design and development engineers went "real time" for overall product development with this model. Black went on to say, "They lived the life of a boater for a few months". By doing so, not only were audio features considered, but several "boater" sensitive additions not normally part of the design criteria for marine products." Special Additions: • SD/MMC Card Interface: Non-Mechanical based storage/playback for audio and video data. • Any Button Power On: Completely operational from the radio, flush mount remote or the transportable remote. • Zero Current Draw: Aquatic AV's new models draw zero current in ACC mode. Critical when boats are inactive for prolonged periods. • Low battery current acknowledgement: Should the boat battery drop below 10.5V, Aquatic's AQ-CD-3, CD-3B will produce a sonar ping to the speaker system alerting the boat owner of a low battery condition....
