JVC Music Control (for Android):
By connecting the JVC digital media
receiver via USB to an Android smartphone (OS 2.2+) that has the free
JVC Music Control app installed, it allows you to list and search
all of the songs stored inside the smartphone from the receiver by artist name
or album name. The JVC Smart Music Control app also analyzes all of your songs
that are in your Android smartphone, and creates a playlist according to your
mood. Once the application has completed the analysis of the songs, simply move
the on-screen "mood ball" to your current mood, and this application will
generate a list of songs that most fits your mood. Your compatible Android
smartphone must be recognized as a USB mass storage class device; not
compatible with MTP protocol.

also supports playback from BlackBerry smartphones (via USB mass storage mode).
JVC's Drive Change Mode lets you connect your BlackBerry smartphone (that uses
an external memory card) directly to the head unit, via USB. Drive Change Mode
will let you switch between your BlackBerry smartphone's internal and external
memory (such as microSD Card), so you can listen to music stored on either
memory. You'll continue to be able control basic playback functions; such as
folder/file search, play/pause, and skip next/previous; regardless of memory
type.

RDS AM/FM Tuner: The JVC KD-X200 features a built-in RDS
AM/FM tuner with manual, seek, and preset tuning. The Radio Data System (RDS)
feature displays radio broadcast information such as artist, title, and album
when listening to compatible AM/FM stations. You can store a total of 18 FM
stations presets and 6 AM station presets (manually or automatically). The head
unit's Radio Timer features lets you tune into a preset station at a specific
time regardless of the head unit's current source (you can activate the Radio
Timer once, daily, or turn it completely off). If an analog FM stereo broadcast
is hard to receive, you can manually switch the tuner to Mono operation. You can
also switch the tuner's IF filter to Wide or Auto to increase/decrease the
sensitivity.
Note: You can set the built-in AM/FM tuner between US
standard and European tuning spacing.

Radio music service in the United States, giving people music they love anytime,
anywhere, through personalized radio stations. The JVC KD-X200 provides complete
access to your Pandora account using your iPhone, via the head unit's
front-panel USB port. To access Pandora you must have an Apple iPhone (iOS3 or
later) with the latest version of the
Pandora
App

Canada and only available in the United States.
Audio Section
24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KD-X200 utilizes a 24-bit
digital to analog converter for superior sound quality.
MOSFET Amplifier: The KD-X200 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-X200
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-X200 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-X200 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.
2.5V/2CH Preamp Output: The KD-X200 is equipped with two
2.5V preamp outputs (Rear/SW). You can set the Rear/SW preamp outputs for
connecting a pair of full-range rear speakers (through an external amplifier) or
for connecting a subwoofer (through an external amplifier). When set for rear
speakers, the rear outputs operate with the unit's fader control. When set for
subwoofer, the outputs are non-fading.
Subwoofer Controls: When the unit's Rear/SW preamp output is
set to Subwoofer, you can set the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter at
55Hz, 85Hz, or 120Hz. You can adjust the head unit's subwoofer level between -8
and +8 (separate from the main volume level).
Pro EQ: The KD-X200 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).

Note: You can store Pro EQ bass, middle and treble tone
settings for each source (Tuner, Aux, USB, iPod, Bluetooth, and
Pandora).
Bass Boost: The unit's Bass Boost enhances low bass
frequencies.
Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high
frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume level. You can set
this feature to High, Low, or Off.
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.
Key Beep: 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 KD-X200 features a detachable
face to deter theft (no face case is provided). An optional soft face case (142DFC1X,
sold separately) can be purchased for this unit. A face-fixing screw is supplied
for making the face non-detachable, if desired.
LCD: The head unit features a 11-segment, one-line LCD with
adjustable brightness and dimmer settings.
Brightness: The unit offers an adjustable display/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).
Mounting Angle: For proper operation, you must install the
unit within 30-degrees of horizontal.
Remote/Bluetooth Control
Wireless Remote Control: The KD-X200 comes supplied with a wireless remote control (RM-RK52). The remote
contains Attenuator, Sound, Source, Tracking, and Volume functions. The
remote operates off of a single CR2025 3V Lithium-cell battery (included).
Optional Bluetooth: The JVC KS-BTA100 Bluetooth Adapter (105KSTBA10,
sold separately) provides Bluetooth hands-free communication and digital audio
streaming functions for the JVC KD-X200. The JVC KS-BTA100 gives you hands-free
communication from your compatible Bluetooth mobile phone and wireless streaming
audio from a Bluetooth enabled digital audio player, when connected to the JVC
in-dash head unit. The JVC Bluetooth Adapter includes a super-sensitive
microphone, an Answer/End button, and playback controls. The JVC KD-X200 can be
set to automatically mute any music audio to your vehicle's speakers so you can
listen to your telephone call using your car speakers.
Note: Not all Bluetooth devices will be compatible. Visit
the
JVC Mobile Entertainment Bluetooth Support Page for a complete list of
compatible Bluetooth enabled devices.
