By connecting the JVC CD receiver via USB to an Android smartphone that has
the JVC Smart 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.

Audio Section
24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KD-R740BT utilizes a 24-bit
digital to analog converter for superior sound quality.
MOSFET Amplifier: The KD-R740BT 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-R740BT
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-R740BT 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-R740BT 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/4CH Preamp Output: The KD-R740BT is equipped with two
pair of 2.5V preamp outputs (Front, 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-R740BT 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).

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 turn this feature on or off.
Volume Adjust: The input level of each source (other than FM) is
