New Bluetooth Built-In Receivers
Posted: 21-Jan-2007 [Source: JVC]

[New JVC receivers (KD-VX33, KD-ADV38 and KD-BT1) include embedded Bluetooth technology.]

-- Bluetooth technology comes already built-in in some of JVC Mobile’s newest lineup of receivers, the KD-AVX33, KD-ADV38 and KD-BT1.

Bluetooth® Wireless Technology: Built-In (Including Microphone)

With Bluetooth® Wireless Technology already built in KD-AVX33, KD-ADV38 and KD-BT1, expect a secure wireless connection with your portable devices. A maximum of five mobile phones can be registered for hands-free calling. With voice-recognition mobile phones, you can dial by just saying the name in your phone book. The wireless functions work even if your mobile phone is tucked away in your bag or pocket. You can also stream music from a compatible digital audio player for listening on your car audio.

The KD-AVX33, KD-ADV38 and KD-BT1 also feature text messaging. A beep notifies you of incoming text messages, which can then be shown on the screen. You can also transfer your phone book from your mobile phone to the receiver. Up to 5,000 numbers can be stored.

Ready for Bluetooth® Wireless Technology

With KS-BTA200 optional adapter (Microphone included), Bluetooth Wireless Technology can be used with compatible devices. Use KS-BTA200 with Bluetooth Ready models KD-NX5000, KW-AVX800, KD-AVX11 and KW-XG700. KD-G830, KD-AR880, KD-G730 and KD-AR780 and get the same great features as the built-in units, such as hands-free calls, audio streaming and control and phone book transfer. With the Pass-through feature on the KS-BTA200, you can also add your iPod adapter, satellite radio adapter and/or CD Changer to your radio.

UNIQUE FEATURES:

KD-BT1- Bluetooth® Built-In USB/CD receiver

The KD-BT1 can play a variety of sources via the USB port, in MP3/WMA/AAC*/ WAV/WMA-DRM format. This strong receiver features a MOS-FET amplifier and a TI/Burr-Brown 24-bit DAC. The KD-BT1 is also ready for iPod® and SAT radio, with optional devices.

* Not compatible with DRM-protected music purchased from Apple iTunes Music Store

Variable-Color 3D Graphics Display

The red, green and blue of 3D graphic images can be customized in 12 gradations, giving you 1,728 colors to choose from. You can set different colors for the type of source that is playing. To save time choosing colors, 12 factory preset colors are available.

3-Band Parametric iEQ

You can adjust center frequency curves, bandwidth and level independently for bass, midrange and treble. The KD-BT1 also offers nine preset EQ patterns.

HS-IV Tuner

The HS-IV tuner features higher sensitivity, thanks to three IF bandwidths (wide, middle and narrow). It also includes AM Noise Canceller plus upgraded IF filters that help avoid the distortion caused by interference from adjacent stations.

Ready for iPod®

You can listen to iPod music with an optional KS-PD100 adapter. The iPod can be controlled from the head unit, and song information is displayed with the same categories and layers as an iPod.

KD-AVX33/KD-ADV38* -EXAD series DVD/CD Receiver with 3.5-inch monitor

Setup/Control with the Multi-Functional Monitor

You can use the built-in monitor to set KD-AVX33 and KD-AVX11’s parameters (EQ, balance, fader, etc.). Operation is easy with user-friendly GUI and keys. Searching through music folders with GIGA MP3 MULTI is also a snap.

DivX® Video Files

The KD-AVX33 system is a DivX Ultra Certified product and can play PC-created DivX video files on a USB memory or DVD/CD. The powerful compression of DivX can fit up to 10 movies onto one DVD, or one movie onto one CD, without sacrificing picture quality.

MPEG 1/MPEG 2 Playback

KW-AVX800, KD-AVX33, KD-ADV38, and KD-AVX11 can play MPEG 1 and MPEG 2 video files burned on DVD or CD. TV programs recorded from a PC, or personal footage from digital camcorders, can be viewed without the hassles of authoring or decoding.

JPEG Pictures

The KD-AVX33 and KD-ADV38 can also display JPEG digital still photos on their own or as slideshows.

GIGA MP3 MULTI – Play MP3, WMA, and WAV Files Burned on DVD

The KD-AVX33 and KD-ADV38 feature GIGA MP3 MULTI, which plays MP3, WMA or WAV files burned on DVD. With MP3 and WMA files, the 4.7GB of a DVD can store up to 2,500 songs on a single disc — equal to 250 pre-recorded CDs. If you want even more superior sound quality, burn WAV files on DVD. WAV is an uncompressed PC music file format that delivers CD-quality sound. A single DVD disc can store 100 WAV files — equal to 10 pre-recorded CDs. Now you can enjoy non-stop entertainment with CD-quality sound, without an additional CD changer.

*The figures above are approximate.

7-Band iEQ

Boost or cut the level by up to 10dB on each of seven bandwidths (60, 150, 400, 1k, 2.4k, 6k and 15 kHz). You can even customize the overall response with the 7-band iEQ, which offers three user- and nine factory-preset patterns (POP, HARD ROCK, JAZZ, DANCE MUSIC, REGGAE, R&B, COUNTRY, CLASSIC and FLAT).

DVD-Audio

The KD-AVX33 and KD-ADV38 are compatible with DVD-Audio formats, which far exceed CD sound quality by using sampling and quantization bit rates several times higher than CDs.

5.1ch Digital Surround

The KD-AVX33 and KD-ADV38 come with a built-in 5.1ch DTS Digital Surround decoder, which lets you create a realistic sound field onboard. The Dolby Pro Logic II offers the same audio excitement for 2-channel stereo sources.

Dual-Zone

With KD-AVX33 or KD-ADV38 and a separate monitor, rear-seat passengers can enjoy DVDs while you listen to the radio up front.

Headphone Surround**

The KD-AVX33 and KD-ADV38 feature Headphone Surround for multi-channel sound via your headphones. Unlike conventional headphone technologies, JVC MOBILE’s Headphone Surround creates virtual ‘room reverberations,’ which feel as if they come from outside the headphones — just like real surround sound in a large room. Any type of headphones can be used with this function.

*KD-ADV38 Arsenal Version features a 2-Year warranty and Red Illumination.

**Available with 5.1-channel sources or 2ch sources with Dolby Pro Logic II turned on. In both cases, Headphone Surround only works when Dual-Zone Mode is turned on.

SHARED FEATURES:

KD-BT1 and KD-AVX33/KD-ADV38

MOS-FET Power Amp

Unlike conventional bipolar transistors, MOS-FET devices do not generate crossover distortion when boosting voltage in the power amplifier. MOS-FET

also features a higher signal-to-nose ratio, which means high frequencies are not degraded by noise.

USB

These units features advanced USB functions, allowing connection with an HDD, USB memory, and digital audio players for playback of MP3/WMA/WAV/AAC* audio files. WMA-DRM music files can also be played. The KD-BT1 and KD_AVX33 have a rear USB port with 1.2 meter cable in box.

* Not compatible with DRM-protected music purchased from Apple iTunes Music Store
