high-quality digital sound. AM digital will have FM-like quality in stereo,
while FM digital will have CD-like quality sound with static free and clear reception.
Note: HD Radio is the system for digital AM and FM
broadcasting in the U.S. More than 2,000 radio stations are broadcasting
their primary signals in digital HD Radio technology, as a free service. Go

songs you want from the iTunes Music Store. You can "tag" up to 50 songs.

repeat function)
- Random: Folder Random (plays all tracks of the current folder, then
the tracks of the next folder in random), All Random (plays all tracks of
the current disc at random), Off (cancels random function)
Disc Resume: If you change the
source, playback also stops (without ejecting the disc). Next time you select CD
for the playback source, the disc will start from where it has been stopped
previously.
Off Insert/Eject: A CD disc can be inserted or ejected with
the power off. When a disc is inserted with the power off, the unit will
automatically power up and begin playback.
Disc Protection: If the ejected
disc is not removed within 15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again
into the loading slot to protect it from dust. The source will change to CD, and
the disc will begin playback, even if you have another source selected at the
time.
Mounting: For proper disc playback you must install the unit
within 30-degrees of horizontal.
Audio Section
24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT utilizes a 24-bit
digital to analog converter for superior sound quality.
MOSFET Amplifier: The KD-AHD75BT 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 KD-AHD75BT
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 KD-AHD75BT 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)
Amplifier Gain Control: When you
are using the KD-AHD75BT 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.
Volume Adjust: 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.
Pro EQ: The KD-AHD75BT is equipped with JVC's Pro EQ. The
integrated equalizer offers 7 preset sound modes (Flat, Natural, Dynamic, Vocal Boost, Bass Boost, 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).

Source Link EQ: This feature allows you to store Pro EQ
bass, middle and treble tone settings for each source (CD, HD Radio, Aux, USB,
iPod, Bluetooth, and Pandora).
Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume
level. You can turn this feature on or off.
4.8V/6CH Preamp Output: The KD-AHD75BT is equipped with three
pair of 4.8V preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The front & rear preamp
outputs offer balance/fade control and are designed to hookup to a full-range
4-channel amplifier. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading and designed to
hookup to a mono-block subwoofer amplifier.
High-Pass Crossover: The KD-AHD75BT features a High-Pass
Crossover for the front & rear speaker-outputs or preamp-outputs. You can adjust
the high-pass crossover from 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 150 Hz, or Off. The 'Off' selection
is a full-range setting.
Subwoofer Controls: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT offers the
following subwoofer controls, when you have the unit's subwoofer preamp output
activated.
- Low Pass Crossover: The receiver features a built-in
Low Pass Crossover for subwoofer preamp output. You can select from 55 Hz,
85 Hz, 120 Hz, or off.
- Subwoofer Level: Once the Subwoofer preamp output is
activated, you can independently control the subwoofer preamp output level
(0-8) from the CD receiver.
Key-Touch Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible
beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.
Display Features
Detachable Face: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT CD receiver features a detachable face to deter theft. A face-fixing screw is
supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired. A hard plastic face
case is provide to store the detachable face.
Note: An
optional soft face case (142DFC1X,
sold separately) can also be purchased for this unit.
Variable Color LCD & Key Illumination: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD75BT
features 29 color presets for the LCD and button illumination. You can choose
one of these color presets or select the ColorFlow mode which scrolls through
all 29 color presets. 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 preset
or custom color can be applied to the display panel and the backlighting for all
the buttons except the eject button (it remains 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 and
button illumination.
Brightness: The unit offers an adjustable display and button
illumination brightness level (0-31) for day and nighttime driving.
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 orange/white illumination lead).
