Sometimes less is more — you can't deny the appeal of understated elegance, clean lines, and high performance. Take a look at JVC's El Kameleon KD-AVX44 DVD receiver, a superb mix of style and function that brings you the latest technology in a stunning, easy-to-use package.

The 3-1/2" video screen lets you enjoy your favorite videos and DVDs when you're parked, and presents a user-friendly set of menus and options for your use when you're driving. You won't find any buttons or knobs to the left of the screen — you make all adjustments with just a touch of your finger. The controls black out and disappear when you're not using them, then light up automatically when your hand approaches the screen.

For convenient theft protection, the El Kameleon presents a simple black panel when it's turned off — no eye candy to attract a thief. You can detach the face for extra protection when you're out of the car.

The powerful built-in amplifier and high-quality digital-to-analog converter make the most of your music, and the 7-band equalizer lets you adjust a range of selectable frequencies to create the perfect sound for your car's interior. If you're building a complete system, use the three sets of preamp outputs to add amplifiers and subwoofers.

Built-in iPod® controls keep your favorite playlists on tap, and you can even stream your iPod videos by adding an adapter. If you have a Bluetooth® enabled phone, the receiver's built-in Bluetooth® capabilities let you take your phone calls through the receiver while you keep both hands on the wheel.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

Note: Bluetooth compatibility of this device may vary, depending on your phone and service provider.
