Put a bold face and bold sound in your dash
Many receivers let you select different illumination colors. JVC's KD-R750 CD receiver offers the capability of selecting colors for three separate zones on the face, so you can personalize the receiver's looks to match your style. You can also personalize the sound to match your taste, by making adjustments to the highs, mids, and lows with the 3-band parametric EQ, and then saving your favorite tone curves with the two user presets. You'll find two sets of preamp outputs for connecting amps — if you're adding a sub, you can switch the rear preamp outputs to subwoofer mode, then use the subwoofer level control for on-the-fly changes.
Your pick of your music
The KD-R750 CD receiver puts command of your music at your fingertips. You can use the handy front-panel USB port to access and control your iPod® or iPhone® playlists, or to play music from many Android™ phones using JVC's Music Control app. Streaming music fans are in luck — when you connect your iPhone, you can control Pandora® or iHeartRadio from the receiver. And the USB input supports multiple memory devices connected through a USB hub, too. The KD-R750 also includes a front auxiliary input for a Dock-and-Play satellite radio or another sound source.
Choose your colors for the controls, display, and inputs.
