Display Features
2-DIN Chassis: The JVC KW-XR810 has a 2-DIN chassis (also
known as Double DIN or size DD), and will fit in many vehicles with a large dash
opening. The unit can be ISO-mounted using factory brackets, or Euro-mounted
using the supplied mounting sleeve.
Note: As always, please consult the
Crutchfield
Car Selector to verify fit with your vehicle.
Variable Color LCD and Key Illumination: The JVC KW-XR810
features 29 color presets for the LCD display and button illumination.
Additionally, there is a user preset, allowing you to individually adjust the
intensity of Red, Green, and Blue from 0 to 31; resulting in approximately
30,000 custom color options. The chosen color can be applied to the display
panel and the backlighting for all the buttons, except the Eject and Display buttons
(they remain red). You can choose to use the same color for the LCD display and
button illumination or use a separate color for each one. You can also
select a different color for daytime and nighttime in regards to the unit's LCD
display and button illumination, as well as adjust the display's contrast
manually (1-8) to make display indications clear and legible.
Display/Button Illumination Dimmer: The display/button
illumination dimmer can be set to Off (normal brightness at all times), On
(display/button illumination is always dimmed), or Auto (display dims when 12
volts is applied to the illumination lead).
Clock Display: The head unit features a 12/24-hour clock. 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.
Audio Section
TI/Burr-Brown 24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KW-XR810 utilizes
a TI/Burr-Brown 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior CD sound
quality.
MOSFET Amplifier: The KW-XR810 is equipped with a MOSFET
amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification
circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less
distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder
and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the
amplification circuit.
CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the KW-XR810
are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement
standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were
developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and
between manufacturers. The power output specs for the KW-XR810 are as follows:
- CEA2006 Specs: 20 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms,
20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N)
- Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels (200 total
watts)
Pro EQ: The KW-XR810 is equipped with JVC's
Pro EQ. The
integrated equalizer offers 6 preset sound modes (Flat, Natural, Dynamic, Vocal,
Bass, User) suitable for the music genre of your choice. The User
mode allows you to manually adjust the head unit's 3 band parametric EQ
(Frequency, Level, and Q-Factor).

Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high
frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume level. You can set
the Loudness feature to 1, 2, 3, or off.
Amplifier Gain Control: When you are using the KW-XR810 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.
Source Volume: The input level of each source (other than FM) is
adjustable relative to the FM radio volume, so there isn't a significant volume
difference when changing sources. Each source is individually adjustable from -5
to +5.
3 Pairs of 2.5V Preamp Outputs: The KW-XR810 is equipped with
three pairs of 2.5V preamp outputs (Front, Rear, Subwoofer). The front and rear
preamp outputs allow fader control, while the subwoofer preamp output is
non-fading.
Subwoofer Control: The unit's subwoofer preamp output
features a variable low-pass crossover (55Hz, 85Hz, 120Hz, or Through), Phase
adjustment (Normal/Reverse), and level control (0 to 8).
High Pass Filter: You can select the unit's high pass filter
cut-off frequency (62Hz, 95Hz, 135Hz, or Through) for the front and rear
speakers so it matches the subwoofer's low-pass filter setting.
Key-Touch Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible
beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.
Radio Functions
AM/FM Tuner: The JVC KW-XR810 features a built-in AM/FM tuner
with manual, seek, and preset tuning.
Preset Tuning: You can store a total of 18 FM stations presets and 6 AM station presets. The
radio allows you to set your AM/FM stations manually or automatically.
Title Assignment: You can also assign names (up to eight
characters) for 30 AM/FM station frequencies.
IF Filter: You can also switch the tuner's IF filter to Wide
or Auto to increase/decrease the sensitivity.
US/European Tuning: You can set the built-in AM/FM tuner
between US standard and European tuning spacing.
