JVC Digital Media Receiver featuring Bluetooth® / USB / 13-Band EQ / JVC Remote App Compatibility
KD-X280BT
JVC quality made simple
Looking to wirelessly stream your favorite music app while you're on the road? JVC's KD-X280BT digital media receiver lets you take control of any music app with an info-packed, high-contrast 1.5-line LCD display that fares well even when the sun is doing its worst. Built-in Bluetooth® provides a wireless connection, and you can also pair two phones for quick hands-free calling. And for more streaming audio fun, JVC's Streaming DJ feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can chime in with their favorite song on the road.
Lots of ways to play your tunes
In addition to streaming music from your iPhone® or Android™ smartphone, you can use the USB port into the front of this receiver to play MP3, WAV, WMA, and even FLAC music files from a flash drive. If you're using an Android, JVC's Remote Control app lets you use your compatible smartphone's touchscreen to control the action using finger swipes and gestures. A front-panel aux input provides a way to plug in just about any portable audio device, such as a portable high-res music player. And if you want to hear what's going on locally, its sensitive AM/FM tuner will pick up your local radio stations too.
Expand your system
This JVC has a chassis depth of less than 4", so it'll fit in a lot of installations. If you're planning to expand your car audio system in the future, the KD-X280BT includes a set of preamp outputs. You can use the 13-band graphic EQ, time alignment, bass boost, loudness control, high- and low-pass filters, and subwoofer level control to tune according to your tastes. Much of today's music uses compression which can sometimes muddle the sound, and JVC's K2 technology helps bring back the depth and detail for all your digital music sources.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities.
