JVC designed the KD-A305 CD receiver as an uncomplicated way to get great sound in your vehicle. As part of their premium Arsenal line, this receiver features high-end components normally found in more expensive stereos. Though it's a no-frills receiver, it's more than ready for add-ons down the road.
Great sound
Play your MP3 and WMA files you've burned to disc, and you'll see song info on the receiver's display. JVC's built-in amplifier offers plenty of clean power to drive your speaker system, and you can tweak your tone to perfection with the versatile 3-band equalizer. Listen to a satellite radio, MP3 player, or another source through the handy auxiliary input, while a choice of 30 illumination colors means this stereo will look right at home in your dash.
Building a system?
A set of gold-plated, 5-volt preamp outputs sends a strong, clean signal to signal to an amp or powered sub. Hook up JVC's iPod adapter to control your iPod using the receiver's controls, plus keep it charged while you drive. The KD-A305 works with JVC's HD Radio tuner, Bluetooth® adapter, and satellite radio tuner for even more system-building options.
