Each disc can have a
maximum of 5000 files and 250 folders, with a maximum of 999 files per folder.
Front Panel Auxiliary Input: A
front panel stereo minijack is provided to allow the connection of a portable
audio source. Just connect your portable cassette, MD or MP3 player to this
unit, and you can listen to the audio from the portable player through the
speakers in your mobile audio system.
Volume Adjust: You can adjust and store volume levels for each source
relative to the FM volume level. Each source can be adjusted between -5 to +5 to
prevent large differences in volume when switching from source to source.
Custom
Equalizer (cEQ):
In addition to manual bass and treble settings (-12dB to +12dB @ 100Hz and 10kHz),
this unit also has six selectable preset tone control and loudness setting
combinations. Each of the sound modes may be adjusted to your preference and
stored in memory. The preset Custom Equalizer modes are:
- Rock: Bass =
+3, Treble = +1, Loudness = On
- Classic: Bass
= +1, Treble = -2, Loudness = Off
- Pops: Bass =
+4, Treble = +1, Loudness = Off
- Hip Hop: Bass
= +2, Treble = 0, Loudness = On
- Jazz: Bass =
+2, Treble = +3, Loudness = Off
- User: Bass =
0, Treble = 0, Loudness = Off
Amplifier Gain Control:
When you are using the KD-DV5300 with factory speakers (or those rated to less
than 50 watts peak), the Amplifier Gain Control can limit the amount of power
being sent to those speakers. When the Amp Gain Control is set to "low," the
volume control ranges from 0 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). When using speakers
rated higher than 50 watts peak, you can set the Amp Gain Control to "high," and
the volume control will range from 0 to 50.
AM/FM Functions: When an FM
stereo broadcast is difficult to receive, you can improve reception by switching
to FM mono. In the Preferred Settings Menu (PSM), you can set the IF
(intermediate frequency) band to improve radio reception. When set to "Auto" the
tuner sensitivity is increased to reduce interference noise between adjacent
stations. When set to "Wide", sound quality is not degraded and the stereo
effect will remain, however, reception is subject to interference between
adjacent stations. If you take the receiver to Europe or South America, you can
switch the tuning interval from the US standard (10kHz/200kHz) to the European
standard (9kHz/50kHz) or South American standard (10kHz/100kHz).
Station
Naming: The
KD-DV5300 allows you to assign
names of up to 8 characters for AM and FM stations (30 station maximum).
Direct Track Access:
You can directly access CD tracks 1-12 by pressing the station preset buttons.
If a preset button is pressed for less than 1 second, the track corresponding to
the number on the preset button is selected (for tracks 1-6). When a preset
button is pressed for more than 1 second, the track corresponding to the number
above the preset button is accessed (for tracks 7-12).
+10/-10 Button: When
selecting CD tracks or an MP3 file within a folder, you can jump ahead or jump
back to the nearest track/file number that is a multiple of 10 by using the
"+10" or "-10" buttons on the remote. For example, when selecting track/file 32
from track/file 6, you can press the "+10" button three times (>10, >20, >30) to
get to 30, then the "track up" button twice (>31, >32) to get to track/file 32.
Compatibility with Optional Input Adapter:
An optional JVC Line Input Adapter (item # 105KSU57) or Aux Input Adapter (item
# 257KSU58) may be used to provide an additional auxiliary input on this unit.
This feature allows you to connect a portable audio player, such as a portable
MP3 player, to this unit as an additional audio source. The adapter connects to
the CD changer input on this unit. When the adapter is connected to this unit, a
CD changer cannot be connected.
Clock Display:
While playing a disc, you can switch between the clock display and the CD
elapsed time display (the track number always appears). While listening to the
radio you can switch between the clock display and the station frequency
display. When you press the Display button during power off, the unit will turn
on, display the clock for 5 seconds, then shut off. This can be done with the
ignition on or off. In the PSM menu, the clock can be set to display with the
unit on or off, only turning off when the ignition is turned off ("keyed"
operation).
Remote Control: The KD-DV5300
comes with the RM-RK241 wireless remote control. In addition to controlling the
DVD/CD receiver, the remote has controls for JVC mobile video monitors,
including the KV-MR9010, KV-MH6510, and the KV-M706. The remote can also control
connected SIRIUS and XM satellite tuners, as well as Apple iPods and JVC
