JVC ANNOUNCES 2ND GENERATION HD RADIO™ RECEIVER
New CD receiver offers built-in HD Radio tuner.
LAS VEGAS – CES (Booth # N221/N222) – January 5, 2006 – JVC puts mobile audio enthusiasts in the digital driver's seat with today's introduction of its second generation HD Radio™ CD Receiver – the KD-HDR1. Packed with features, the KD-HDR1 includes a built-in multi-cast capable HD Radio tuner, is satellite radio ready, and Ready for iPod®", allowing iPod connection, recharging and information display using JVC's KS-PD100 adapter.
For convenient iPod playback, the KD-HDR1 features JVC's new user interface that mimics the iPod's click wheel. A circular front panel control has search and playback functions positioned identically to where they're placed on the iPod click wheel.
The KD-HDR1's MOS-FET power amp delivers 50 watts x 4 maximum (20 watts x 4 RMS). It features SRS CS-Auto™, which creates a smooth surround sound effect over a four- or more speaker system with no discernable sweet spot, providing all passengers with an optimal entertainment experience. SRS CS-Auto also includes two patented SRS post processing technologies – Dialog Clarity™, which delivers crisp, clear easily-discernable vocals, and TruBass®, which delivers a deep, rich bass sound from any sized speakers.
Other KD-HDR1 features include JVC's Digital Integrated Alignment System (DiAS) tuner, based on a unified chip rather than the more common hard-wired analog tuner to deliver improved reception with only a bare minimum of interference and signal fades to maximize the performance of regular analog broadcasts.
Additionally, with the KD-HDR1's Digital 7-band iEQ, users can boost or cut the level by up to 10dB on each of seven bands (60, 150, 400, 1k, 2.4k, 6k and 15kHz) to customize the overall response according to a car's acoustic environment.
The KD-HDR1 also features a switchable dimmer to enable easier viewing in any light condition and an oval-shaped wireless remote control for one-touch ease of use.
The JVC KD-HDR1 will be available in March and will sell for about $299.95.
