Sony CDX-M8815X CD receiver

Sony's Active Black Panel faceplate on Sony's CDX-M8815X CD receiver is a 21st-century wonder. The only two buttons on the motorized faceplate serve to power down the receiver and open the face, helping to cut down on button clutter for a clean, unobtrusive installation.

Open up the Active Black Panel, and you have access to a full control panel and a smaller display. The receiver enters stealth mode when your turn off the ignition, making the display and buttons disappear.

Sony CDX-M8815X features a strong internal amplifier (17 watts RMS x 4) to coax every last detail out of your music. Use Sony's EQ7 tone shaping tool to customize the sound, and Dynamic Soundstage Optimizer to create the perfect soundstage for your car.

You interested in an in-dash jukebox? Just burn your favorite MP3 and ATRAC3plus files to disc, and you'll be able to store up to 10 hours' worth. Exclusive in Sony Receivers technology BBE MP processing will make the music files sound great by restoring the dynamic range for more lifelike sound.

JVC KD-AVX1 DVD/CD receiver

post from Car audio systems on 21 June 2005 08:51:00 PM. © Car audio systems

JVC car video system

JVC's KD-AVX1 - in-dash DVD receiver with a 3" LCD monitor built right into its motorized, fold-down faceplate.

Like most DVD receivers, JVC's KD-AVX1 plays your DVDs, standard CDs, MP3s, and WMAs. But here's the best part: Giga MP3 technology lets you load up to 100 hours of your favorite MP3s or WMAs on a single recordable DVD, and the JVC KD-AVX1 will play them.

Strong built-in power works with 24-bit digital-to-audio converters to deliver powerful, dynamic playback. Then the 7-band Intelli-EQ takes over, giving you the power to sculpt the sound to fit your vehicle's acoustics just the way you like it to.

The audio/video input lets connect another source, such as game console. An audio/video output sends a signal to an external monitor and set of wireless headphones. Dual-zone capability means that the folks in back can enjoy a movie.

Add a JVC SIRIUS tuner, antenna, and subscription for the endless variety of satellite radio. And three sets of 5-volt preamp outputs send a clean signal to any external amps....

JVC KD-AVX1 features:

3" TFT LCD monitor built into the motorized, fold-down faceplate
DVD/CD receiver with built-in amplifer
On-screen display of JPEG images
