JVC-KD-BT1.jpg

The JVC KD-BT1 CD/MP3 receiver features MOSFET 50W X Peak Power Output, multi-format playback, 3-D Variable color display, TI/Burr-Brown 24-Bit DAC, HS-IV 24 presets tuner, Bluetooth and a rear USB Port ‘The JVC KD-BT1 features a basic single-DIN design with a mechanical fold-down faceplate and a backlit monochrome dot-matrix LCD display, which can be set to one of 1,728 colors. However, the LCD screen is not very bright, and in direct sunlight it can be difficult to see the digits and readouts especially when the text color is set to one of the darker shades (such as apple, grape, or rose). The KD BT-1 takes customization to a new level, as users can set separate colors for each source (CD, satellite radio, Bluetooth phone, Bluetooth audio, for example). Different disc-based media such as MP3 and WMA CDs can be given their own colors, and for those who can't decide, the screen can be set to scroll through every color in its memory.’
