Disc Playback
MP3/WMA Playback: The KW-XR610 can play MP3 (32-320 kbps)/WMA
files (32-320 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 total of 512 files, 255 folders,
and 8 hierarchical levels. 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.
Fast Search: If your MP3/WMA disc contains a lot of tracks, you can
fast search (+/- 10, 100, 1000) through the disc by simply turning the
head unit's rotary dial to find the right song.
A to Z Search: You can search MP3/WMA tracks alphabetically in a
desired folder on a disc.
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.
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;
playback starts automatically.
Off Eject: The KW-XR610 allows you to eject your disc with
the head unit turned off.
Note: The unit will not allow you to load a CD while it
is powered off.
Mounting: For proper disc playback you must install the unit
within 30-degrees of horizontal.
USB/iPod/Aux Connection
Front-Panel USB Port: The JVC KW-XR610 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/WMA
(32-320 kbps) audio files stored on a
portable USB mass-storage class device (FAT 12/16/32). The KW-XR610 can recognize
a total of 5,000 files and 255 folders (255 files per folder). 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. The KW-XR610 provides Fast Search (+/- 10, 100, 1000) and
Alphabetical Search (A-Z) to help you find your MP3/WMA files stored on your USB
device.
Note: This unit cannot recognize a USB mass storage
class device whose rating is other than 5V and exceeds 500 mA. You cannot connect a USB device via a USB hub or
Multi-Card Reader to this unit.
iPod Direct: The JVC KW-XR610's front-panel USB port
also acts as an iPod high-speed direct connection when used with the USB/iPod cable
that came with your iPod. An additional iPod cable is available (469USBPOD, sold separately)
so you can leave one at home and one in the car. Menu options allow iPod control from
the head unit or from the iPod itself. From the head unit's front-panel
controls you can search your iPod/iPhone's music by Category
(Playlist/Artist/Album/Song/Genre/Composer/Audiobook). If the selected category contains a
high number of tracks, you can fast search (+/-10, 100, 1000) through the music
tracks in that particular category by simply turning the head unit's control
dial. The KW-XR610 also supports Repeat and Random playback functions of your
iPod/iPhone. Regardless of control mode, the KW-XR610 will display your
iPod/iPhone's music file text. The iPod/iPhone will also charge whenever it is
connected with the head unit turned on. The JVC KW-XR610 is "Made for iPod/iPhone"
compatible and supports the following iPod/iPhone model features (as of November2011):

Audio Section
24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KW-XR610 utilizes
a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior CD sound
quality.
MOSFET Amplifier: The KW-XR610 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 KW-XR610
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 KW-XR610 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)
Pro EQ: The KW-XR610 is equipped with JVC's
Pro EQ. The
integrated equalizer offers 6 preset sound modes (Flat, Natural, Dynamic, Vocal,
Bass, 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).

Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high
frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume level. You can turn
the Loudness feature on or off.
Amplifier Gain Control: When you are using the KW-XR610 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.
Source Volume: 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.
Switchable Preamp Outputs: The KW-XR610 is equipped with two pair of 2.5V preamp outputs
(Front/Rear). You can set the rear preamp outputs for connecting 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,
and you can set the cutoff frequency of the low pass filter at 72Hz, 111Hz, or
157Hz. The subwoofer level can be set between 0 and 8.
Key-Touch Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible
beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off.
Remote Control
Wireless Remote Control: The KW-XR610 comes supplied with a wireless
remote control (RM-RK50). The remote has Power, Attenuator, Sound, Source, Tracking, and
Volume functions. The remote operates off of a single CR2025 3V Lithium-cell
battery (included).
Steering Wheel Remote Ready: The unit also features an OEM
steering wheel remote control input on the rear of the unit to allow you to keep
your vehicle's radio steering wheel remote controls when used with the optional
PAC SWI-JACK Steering Wheel Control Interface Adapter (127SWIJACK,
sold separately); or the optional Metra ASWC Steering Wheel Control Interface
Adapter (120ASWC,
sold separately).
Note: Please consult the
Crutchfield Car Selector to see if your vehicle is compatible.
Display Features
2-DIN Chassis: The JVC KW-XR610 has a 2-DIN chassis (also
known as Double DIN or size DD), and will fit in many vehicles with a large dash
opening. The unit can be ISO-mounted using factory brackets, or Euro-mounted
using the supplied mounting sleeve.
Note: As always, please consult the
Crutchfield
Car Selector to verify fit with your vehicle.
Variable Color LCD and Key Illumination: The JVC KW-XR610
features 29 color presets for the LCD display and button illumination.
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 can be applied to the display
panel and the backlighting for all the buttons, except the Eject and Display 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
display and button illumination, as well as adjust the display's contrast
manually (1-8) to make display indications clear and legible.
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 illumination lead).
Clock Display: The head unit features a 12/24-hour clock. When you press the Display button during
power off, the unit will turn on, display the clock for 5 seconds, then shut
off. This can be done with the ignition on or off.
