JVC

Why replace your factory radio?

Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car.

Our take on the JVC KD-HDR70

by Zak Billmeier

If you love local radio, don't miss this one — JVC's KD-HDR70 CD receiver taps into the awesome digital AM/FM sound quality of HD Radio™. Its built-in tuner lets you explore what HD Radio has to offer, including the alternate programming offered by many stations. And here's another cool feature on this JVC — the variable-color display lets you dial in just the right hue to match your dash lighting. You can even set one color for the main display while setting another for the buttons and controls. It's up to you!

Control your iPod®, plus tag the tunes you like
Once you plug your iPod or iPhone® into the receiver's front-panel USB slot, you'll blaze through your songs and playlists with the KD-HDR70's controls. You can also switch control to the iPod itself so a passenger can DJ. Either way, all song and artist info will show up on the receiver's 2-line display.

When your iPod's connected, just tune in to an HD Radio station to take advantage of the tagging feature — "tag" a song you like, and you'll be prompted to buy it from the iTunes® store the next time you connect your iPod to the computer.

More ways to play your music
This versatile stereo will handle all your CDs and recordable discs, as well as discs or or thumb drives you've loaded with MP3 and WMA files. You'll find two auxiliary inputs so, for example, you could plug a game console into the front input and permanently install a satellite radio dock on the rear input. Why risk your life talking on your phone while you're driving? You can add JVC's Bluetooth® adapter and conduct your phone conversations with both hands on the wheel.

It all starts with the sound
JVC's built-in amplifier gives you plenty of clean volume without distortion. You'll appreciate the extra flexibility that the 3-band parametric equalizer offers for dialing in the right sound for your vehicle.

Looking to add bass?
Three sets of 2.5-volt preamp outputs lets you add amps and subs to your system. The subwoofer output features a selectable low-pass filter, and you can add just the right amount of bass with the subwoofer level control.

Want to keep your steering wheel controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this JVC stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the JVC, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

iPod note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.

      Display Features

      Detachable Face: The JVC KD-HDR70 features a detachable face to deter theft. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired.

      Note: No face case is included with this unit. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can be purchased for this unit.

      2-Line LCD: The head unit features a 12-segment, two-line LCD with adjustable color, brightness, and dimmer settings.

      Variable Color LCD & Key Illumination: The JVC KD-R620 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 Display, Brightness, & Eject 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 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).

      Audio Section

      24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KD-HDR70 utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior CD sound quality.

      MOSFET Amplifier: The KD-HDR70 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-HDR70 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-HDR70 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-HDR70 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-HDR70 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).

      Tone Pro EQ
      Frequency Level Q
      Bass 60, 80, 100, 200 Hz +/- 12 dB (-6 to +6) 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0
      Midrange 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5 kHz +/- 12 dB (-6 to +6) 0.75, 1.0, 1.25
      Treble 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5 khz +/- 12 dB (-6 to +6) Fixed

      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.

      2.5V/6CH Preamp Output: The KD-HDR70 is equipped with three pair of 2.5V 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.

      Built-in Crossovers: The JVC KD-HDR70 features a built-in high-pass filter for the unit's front & rear speakers and a low-pass filter for the unit's subwoofer output.

      • High-Pass Filter: You can activate a high-pass filter (fixed) for the unit's front & rear channels (speaker- or preamp-level), so low frequency signals are cut off from your system's front & rear speakers.
      • Low-Pass Filter: The unit's subwoofer preamp output features a low-pass filter. In order to prevent high-frequencies from being sent to your system's subwoofers, you can set the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter to 55Hz, 85Hz, or 120Hz.

      Subwoofer Level: You can adjust the KD-HDR70's subwoofer level (0-8) independently from the head unit's main volume control for added bass volume.

      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

      Built-in HD Radio: With the built-in HD Radio tuner, you can receive digital AM/FM broadcasts from local stations where available. This new technology will significantly improve audio quality and reception, as well as include information such as artist name and song titles or traffic news, viewable on the receiver's display. HD Radio Technology will deliver high-quality digital sound. AM digital will have FM-like quality in stereo, while FM digital will have CD-like quality with static free and clear reception.

      Note: Right now there are about 2,000 radio stations broadcasting using digital HD Radio technology in the U.S. To find HD Radio stations in your area, visit the HD Radio website (HDRadio.com).

      Multicasting: In addition to conventional broadcasts, with HD Radio broadcasting, it is possible to choose from up to 8 multicast programs (HD1 to HD8 and analog). There are also data programs for each program.

      Text Display: AM/FM digital stations can offer text and data such as artist names and song titles. The built-in HD Radio tuner displays song title, artist and station information on the display of the JVC KD-HDR70.

      Analog Broadcasts: In addition to HD AM/FM stations, the KD-HDR70 can also receive conventional analog AM/FM broadcasts.

      Digital/Analog Tuning: You can setup the KD-HDR70 to search both analog and digital radio stations, only HD Radio stations, or analog radio stations only.

      Digital/Analog Presets: You can set up to 18 FM and 6 AM digital/analog presets stations as presets (HD Radio multicast channels can also be preset). Presets can be set manually or automatically, using Strong-station Sequential Memory (SSM).

      Mono Mode: If an analog FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive, you can manually switch the tuner to Mono operation.

      IF Filter: You can also switch the analog 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.

      Disc Playback

      Disc Compatibility: The unit features a single disc player that will playback CD-Audio, CD-Text, and finalized CD-R/CD-RW audio discs.

      MP3/WMA Playback: The KD-HDR70 can play MP3 (8-320 kbps)/WMA files (8-192 kbps) that have been recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs. The disc must be recorded in one of the following formats: ISO 9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet, Romeo or Windows long file. Each disc can have a maximum of 8 folder hierarchies, 255 folders, and no more than a total of 512 files and/or folders on each disc. The unit also supports IDTag3 (version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4) for album and artist information from MP3 or WMA files.

      Track/Folder List: The Track/Folder List displays a list of MP3/WMA folders and tracks on a loaded CD, so you can easily access your music. The Track/Folder List will also display the list of track titles on a CD Text disc. If the MP3/WMA disc contains a lot of tracks, you can fast search (+/-10 or +/-100) through the disc by turning the unit's control dial quickly.

      Random/Repeat Modes: The JVC KD-HDR70 offers the following Repeat and Random playback modes for your audio CDs.

      • Repeat: Track Repeat (plays the current rack repeatedly), Folder Repeat (plays all tracks of the current folder repeatedly), Off (cancels repeat function
      • Random: Folder Random (plays al tacks 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.

      USB/iPod/Aux Connectivity

      USB Port: The JVC KD-HDR70 features a front panel USB 2.0 type-A port behind a sliding cover for connection of a USB mass-storage class device. The USB port enables audio playback and control of MP3 (8-320 kbps)/WMA (8-192 kbps) audio files stored on a portable USB mass-storage class device formatted in FAT 12/16/32. The KD-HDR70 can recognize up to 255 folders (255 files per folder) and 65,025 total files. The unit also supports IDTag3 (version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4) for album and artist information from MP3/WMA files (up to 60 characters).

      Note: You cannot connect a USB device via a USB hub or Multi-Card Reader to this unit.

      iPod/iPhone Direct: The JVC KD-HDR70's front-panel USB port also acts as an iPod/iPhone high-speed direct connection when used with the USB/iPod cable that came with your iPod/iPhone. An additional iPod cable is available (469USBPOD, sold separately) so you can leave one at home and one in the car. Using either cable allows audio playback, music navigation, information display, and charging of select iPod/iPhone models from the JVC in-dash head unit.

      iPod/iPhone Audio Playback: The USB connection allows your iPod/iPhone's large music libraries to be loaded instantly to the JVC head unit and sound quality to be maximized through the head unit's 24-bit D/A converter, allowing for a Signal to Noise ratio up to 98dB. The JVC KD-HDR70 supports audio playback of music files, podcasts, and apps stored on your iPod or iPhone.

      iPod/iPhone Control: You can choose to control the iPod/iPhone from the head unit or from your iPod/iPhone's clickwheel or touchscreen.

      • Music Browsing: From the head unit's front-panel controls you can search your iPod/iPhone's music by Category (Playlist/Artist/Album/Song/Genre/Composer). If the selected category contains a high number of tracks, you can fast search (+/-10, 100, 1000, or 10000) through the music tracks in that particular category by simply turning the head unit's control dial.
      • Repeat & Random: The KD-HDR70 also supports Repeat (file/all) and Random (album/all) playback functions of your iPod/iPhone.

      Note: You can listen to apps stored on your iPod touch or iPhone through the JVC head unit when controlling the iPod/iPhone via its touchscreen (cannot access apps via head unit control mode).

      iPod/iPhone Display: The KD-HDR70 will display your iPod/iPhone's music file information, regardless of control mode. The head unit will display Track number, Elapsed playing time, Artist name, Song title, and Album label.

      iTunes Tagging: Using the head unit's iTunes Tagging enabled HD Radio, you can tag your HD music (up to 60 songs) while listening to the radio with your iPod/iPhone connected. When you hear a song you enjoy on your local HD Radio station, you only have to press the head unit's "Tag" button and the song's information will be saved to your connected iPod/iPhone. The saved songs will then show up in a playlist called "Tagged" in iTunes the very next time you sync your iPod/iPhone to your PC. Then you just need to click, buy, and download the song you tagged directly from the Apple iTunes Music Store.

      Note: iTunes 7.4 (or later version) is required to purchase tagged songs.

      iPod/iPhone Charging: While connected and the ignition switch is set to ACC or ON, the head unit's USB connection will power and charge your iPod/iPhone.

      Note: If your iPod/iPhone has no initial battery charge, then the unit will not recognize it.

      Do not buy JVC KD-HDR70

      Written By phredathevanet, Oregon on Saturday, January 19, 2013
       
      This is the most infuriating radio I have ever used. The buttons are too small, and set too close together. I try to change a preset channel, and with a bump in the road I,m pushing an unknown button and it has reverted to the DEMO mode. Flashing various colors and doing I don't know what on the info scroll. I am so frustrated with this unit I have given up on trying to reset the clock, since it changes every time it goes to the DEMO mode once again.
      Pros:
      Digital radio
      Cons:
      Small buttons too close together

      Everything I was looking for for a great price. the 7 mode equalizer is nice and an upgrade over my last. The multiple color options are also great fun!

      After 18 months of good service it does not recognizes my iPhone when I plug it in via USB cable, I tried other iPhones, Ipods and even a iPad, same result. Maybe mine was a fluke, I own two of these units the other one is still going strong.
      Pros:
      Value, features and options.
      Cons:
      durability.

      Great Value, Great Performance

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I've been blaring music out of this thing for a while now, and I gotta tell you, I'd buy one for every vehicle my family has. The amp and all the EQ controls ensure you can tune the sound to your speakers, which are the only limiting factor with the .10% THD this amp puts out. There is also a built in low pass filter for a sub, and high pass filter for the component speakers. It also looks sleek and modern, and the color combinations are almost endless (just turn the demo off). Also, the volume is controlled by a knob, so it's easy to turn it down at stoplights. There's also a nice remote. Crutchfield installation gear made it oh so easy (I soldered the wire connections, but wire nuts work fine). This is a receiver off of which a system can be built, with the three RCA outputs. Also, with two aux input spots, and a USB cable, the HD Radio is basically unneeded, but still a nice thing to have (although where I live there really isn't much HD radio worth listening to.
      Pros:
      .10% THD, Audio controls abound, Three sets of RCA outputs, looks cool
      Cons:
      Radio Preset switching done with up and down arrows, not numbered buttons

      JVC KD-HDR70

      Written By Collin, College Station, TX on Saturday, September 01, 2012
       
      Another fine JVC radio. The units sound quality is great with many options. Only problem being those options aren't immediately available with one button click. Particularly, changing presets can take 2 or more button presses. That isn't a drawback, but something to consider when you've been spoiled with one press on other stereos. Sadly, it is only compatible through USB with Apple products. Too bad if you have the ill fated zune or another product. You'll have to stick with the AUX out.
      Pros:
      Numerous Presets Not hard to learn stereo navigation Great sound quality through all the stereos audio sources
      Cons:
      Hard to see in direct sunlight. Changing presets takes more than one button click & takes some getting used to

      Great sound quality, made factory speakers sound like the premium factory option
      Pros:
      Easy 2 use & navigate thru display & setup options. Like the multiple subwoofer setting options. Would have given it 5 stars for coolness but its a pretty simple unit, hence the reason I bought it.
      Cons:
      No usb in back. Knew that when I bought it though

      I was greatly impressed with the sound quality from the head unit. I download my music using the Apple "lossless" mode at the suggestion on Crutchfield and it seems to make a difference. Overall I am happy with the unit.
      Pros:
      Sound quality, various colors, multiple rear input sources
      Cons:
      No readily come to mind.

      Good radio

      Written By Jvc KD-HDR70, Munford tn on Sunday, June 10, 2012
       
      Its a Solid radio. All the colors are cool and it had good quality. Great for the price the HD switchs from analog to Hd smoothly and everything is right there.
      Pros:
      Diffrent colors.Big screen
      Cons:
      It's a little hard to navigate untill you get used to it. And I big problem the sub preamp is at an extremly low volume Espically compared to the front and rear ports. I have a very solid amp and everything is cranked on the stereo and it can barely be heard above the treble of all the other speakers.

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Features were what I expected. Everything that is optional is so hard to get to the choice you want. If you decide to change something, you have to redo everything. There is no way to change just one radio station, for example. You have to reset them all, plus all the color selections you may have made along the way. I gave it a 3 star, because of the UN-ease of use factor.
      Pros:
      Great sound.
      Cons:
      Really poor instruction manual, as far as how to use the actual unit.

      JVC KD-HDR70 - VERY Happy

      Installed in a 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      GREAT unit, easy to install, LOADED with features. I listen to one radio station mostly, so the lack of preset buttons means nothing to me - the 18 presets with the menu and knob work fine. This deck SHINES when you start adding amps, with 6 preamp outs (front, rear and SW), built in crossovers and EQ, it does more that you can ask for the money spent. Wife loved it, got one for her; guy at work liked it so much - he got one; a friend is in the process. That should tell you something! 5 stars on everything but ease of use - I gave it a 4 due to the placement of the knob, otherwise it has very easy to use menu controls that are buried when not in use - VERY slick.
      Pros:
      HD Radio, USB, Front and rear 3.5mm jack, BT expansion module, iPhone/iPod control, USB Charging, RDS, Color selection matches my dashboard perfectly, onboard crossovers, EQ, 6 preouts!
      Cons:
      VERY Minor issue with knob placement - but not enough to worry about.

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      Great deck. It has done everything it is supposed to do flawlessly. The reason I gave it a 3 for Ease of Use is because when you are turning the dial you cannot see the display very well. If I were the engineers on this one I would have moved the dial to the far right.
      Pros:
      Nice sound and great features.
      Cons:
      Hard to see display when turning the dial.

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I've been a JVC fan for many years and this unit doesn't do anything to change that. This JVC receiver is more than I could ask for. I'm not an Amplifier person and I get more than enough power from this unit. It was a replacement for the old factory cassette unit in my Lincoln Town. Thanks to Crutchfield for the free install kit as it saved me at least $100 over the local electronics stores for the same JVC receiver and install kits. The only thing that bugs me is the menu for the controls for the unit. It is a bit confusing but I guess it's because of all the options that are available for you to customize this unit to your personal taste. If I was looking today for a receiver knowing this about the unit, it would not stop me from buying this unit again. It's been in my car for about 2 months and I just Love It. I just hope I don't wear out my Front USB port, lol.
      Pros:
      This JVC Receiver is loaded with just about every feature you might want in a stand alone unit. It has plenty of Power, Excellent Sound Quality, Built In HD and Front USB and Aux Jacks. It has features for Ipods, not important to me. A Great Value compatible to some higher priced units in this feature range.
      Cons:
      It can be a bit challenging to set up the colors because of all the options. Not a deal breaker in my opinion. Remote is a bit limited in features.

      Installed in a 1992 Subaru Loyale
      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I've had this unit for two months now. Although some of the functions that are buried in menus may be better suited to dedicated buttons (i.e. fade/balance/radio presets), I don't mind so much since it's infrequent that I need to adjust them. Installation was easy with the supplied installation instructions and wiring connectors. The unit sounds great and I really like the option of being able plug in my USB memory. Like many multi-funtion, customizable car stereos, there's a learning curve to get through to be able to navigate the menus and settings. Once you've adjusted all the settings the way you like it, you will have to set them again if you ever disconnect the battery or your battery goes dead. The display is smart looking and attractive, functions and setting options are expansive, and it's a terrific value.
      Pros:
      Great sound, function, and appearance. Love the HD FM whenever I'm in range - the sound is so much more crisp and clear than its analog counterpart.
      Cons:
      upper left buttons (power/source, display, eq) are small and close together, so a little tricky at first to select the right function.

      Great product. The color display modification is a great feature and it should be implemented in other systems too. The sound quality is great, however the system does require referral to the manual to understand all the features.
      Pros:
      Good sound quality Color modifying display USB in the front and back Good build quality
      Cons:
      Cd player does make some noise when skipping tracks Complexity, requiring the manual for assistance.

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I have owned this for almost a yr, and am replacing it. The issues of poor daytime visibility, and not being user friendly (no buttons) have done it in. Visibility and usability are more important than multiple color combinations, none of which are right...
      Pros:
      HD radio. Lots of customization possible.
      Cons:
      None of the multiple custom colors can you see in the daytime, and too bright at night. Also, no buttons for selecting radio stations.

      Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
       
      I have had this unit for four months now and it's great. It's gotten me through a couple of long road trips. Surfing for HD radio in other cities is fun, and podcasts make the long drive times fly by.
      Pros:
      I can finally hear podcasts in my car, music sounds excellent, and HD radio is all it's cracked up to be. Crutchfield's installation guide made taking apart my dashboard simple and guess free.
      Cons:
      Yes, the display is hard to read in full sunlight, but so was the factory unit. I can't get any AM stations since I installed the unit, but since I rarely want to listen to it I haven't contacted technical support.
