There are a few key features to the Kenwood DPC-885 personal CD player. The first is the included car kit. With the kit, this personal CD player is ready to be played in a vehicle's cassette player via the cassette adapter. The DPC-885 will play audio CDs, plus CD-R/RW discs. To help keep the player from skipping, an essential feature for car use, Kenwood has included a variable Digital Anti-Shock Circuit (DASC.) With this feature, it is possible to choose how much skip protection is needed, then select between zero, six or twenty seconds of memory. When running or in a bumpy car, selecting twenty seconds is your best bet. If at the coffee shop studying, then the DASC can be turned off, allowing for the best sound quality possible.

Another significant feature of the DPC-885 is its ability to operate on rechargeable batteries. The player even acts as a charger, to make using rechargeable batteries an easy decision. Kenwood includes rechargeable batteries in the package to get you started. Once emptying out the batteries' available charge (typically nine hours) simply plug the player into an outlet via the included AC adaptor and begin charging. Charging time will take approximately three to four hours. If you want to use longer-lasting alkaline batteries (typically running for seventeen hours), then simply remove the rechargeable batteries and insert two AA batteries. With the low battery alert, keeping ahead of run-down batteries is a cinch.

The final key feature of the player is the included remote control. This in-line remote works in conjunction with the included headphones. The LCD screen will keep you up-to-date on your player's settings. The remote will allow you to sit across the room or bed and maintain full control of the player.

There are, of course, other notable features that should be described. With the thirty-two track program mode it is easy to create a rocking play list for those extra-difficult workouts. The DPC-885 also has two bass controls. Depending on your bass needs, choose between no extra bass, bass or full-bass. This will help counter the tendency of headphones running bass-low. Other features include: hold, resume, repeat and random play.
