KD-T720BT

Simple access to your music

Since your phone is the gateway to your favorite tunes, JVC's KD-T720BT CD receiver includes Bluetooth for wireless music streaming. You can enjoy just about any streaming service, as well as your own high-res library on a USB drive. And, this receiver has a dedicated button for Amazon Alexa voice control — great for keeping your eyes on the road while you make calls, check the weather, and control your music. Once your music's going, you can tweak it with some of the deepest tone control options I've seen on a receiver at this price point.

Why Bluetooth?

For the times when you're sharing the ride, the KD-T720BT enables you to pair two Bluetooth-equipped phones and quickly switch between them for hands-free calling. And when you're streaming audio, JVC's Streaming DJ feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can pick their tunes for the ultimate road trip party (just remember to share!). You can wirelessly stream and control the playback functions of just about any Internet radio service, including Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz. Don't forget podcasts and audiobooks, too. You can also control this stereo directly from your iPhone® or Android™ phone by downloading JVC's free Remote app.

Alexa voice control

After you load the Alexa app onto your phone and pair your phone to this JVC receiver, simply press the dedicated "Alexa" button on the faceplate, and you can access music, audiobooks, news, weather, traffic, and smart home controls using your voice. 

Plays all types of music

You can enjoy music on the longest road trips using the receiver's sensitive AM/FM radio, CD player, and front aux input for a portable music player. You can plug your iPhone into the front-panel USB port, and control your music while you charge your phone. Android users, you get the same play-and-control options wirelessly using Bluetooth. The USB port can also handle music stored on a thumb drive, including high-resolution FLAC music files.  

Shape it your way

Once you're jamming, you can refine your sound with the onboard 13-band graphic equalizer and digital time alignment — that's a lot of tone-shaping capability in an "entry level" receiver. JVC's K2 technology spruces up the sound of overly compressed digital music (like MP3 files and Bluetooth audio) with some clever processing.

Since many car speakers are located down low in the doors, the KD-T720BT offers Sound Lift, which adjusts your music's frequencies to virtually "raise" your speakers for better, more natural imaging. If you're adding an amplifier or a powered subwoofer, a set of preamp outputs provide you the clean signal you need for added output.

Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities.
