JVC Mobile Releases 4 New AV Multimedia Receivers

JVC Mobile Entertainment introduces four new AV Multimedia products loaded with new technologies and enhanced connectivity for the ultimate consumer in-vehicle experience.

The El Kameleon Multimedia CD/DVD/USB Receiver has returned in 2009 loaded with a multitude of new technologies and features, earning it the 2009 CES Best of Innovation Award for the “In-Vehicle Video” Category.

JVC KD-AVX77

JVC KD-AVX77

The single-din receiver's 5.4” ultra-wide monitor is constructed with a high-resolution 192,000 pixel TFT panel capable of over thousands of display colors. This TFT panel can display aspect ratios up to 3:32:1 for a super-wide Cinemascope viewing experience. The ultra-wide monitor can also display multimedia video content and rear-view camera vision at the same time in split screen mode. The KD-AVX77 features the most advanced Ultra-Wide Viewing Angle LCD format free of screen glares, making the monitor clearly visible from every viewing angle. Another new feature is full-touch screen capability, which allows the entire TFT panel to dual-task as the receiver’s control panel. This receiver also features a built-in electrostatic proximity sensor, which illuminates the screen when the user approaches it with their hand. Rather than limiting the proximity sensitivity by utilizing an IR sensor, this electrostatic feature ensures that users can approach any location on the faceplate with their hand to activate the proximity sensor features.

Other new monitor features of the KD-AVX77 include the world’s first layout selectable GUI; allowing users to customize their favorite “key” types, colors, background design, or upload their favorite JPEG pictures onto the screen to further personalize the display.

The El Kameleon KD-AVX77 receiver is loaded with the latest in-vehicle connectivity, including built-in Bluetooth® with high-quality external wired microphone, and is ready for HD Radio™, Satellite Radio, and CD changer connections.

This feature allows listeners to control their iPod®/iPhone™ from either the player itself or from the receiver’s controls, while allowing song and artist information display, play, pause, skip, or back commands from either device.
