quality audio performance JVC uses a 24-bit audio DAC.
Front Panel Auxiliary Input:
A front panel stereo mini-jack is provided to allow easy connection of a
portable audio source. Just connect your portable cassette, MD, or MP3 player
and listen through your car system. The volume of
the front panel auxiliary input can be adjusted so the
level is consistent as you change from one input to another.
Spectrum Analyzer Screen: The display
background can be changed among five meter styles and two screen savers. You can
also turn the spectrum analyzer off so only the alphanumeric characters and
icons appear.
3-Band Equalizer:
Along with a user adjustable preset, there are five preset EQ curves; Rock,
Classic, Pops, Hip Hop, and, Jazz. The user preset can be adjusted to your preference and stored in memory.

can be adjusted from -12dB to
+12dB in 2dB increments.

Song and album titles are displayed when playing CD Text encoded discs on the

and AAC tags are also displayed.
Amplifier Gain Control:
When you are using the KW-XG700 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.
