Marine, Display, & Remote Features

Marine/MotorSports Series: The JVC KD-X560BT is part of JVC's Marine/MotorSports Series line-up of digital multimedia receivers which employ an antirust coating to protect the units from the harsh marine environment; making them optimal for outdoor applications such as all-terrain vehicles, motorcycles, and boats.

• Conformal Coating: The KD-X560BT's conformal coating is a protective chemical coating to safeguard electronic circuits from harsh environments that may contain moisture or chemical contaminants. It provides a barrier to airborne contaminants from the operating environment, such as salt-spray, thus preventing corrosion.
• Optional Marine Cover: Even though the conformal coating makes the receiver water-resistant, it is still recommended that it be used with a universal marine cover (sold separately - see Accessories Tab).

Note: Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

3" Color Display: The JVC KD-X560BT digital multimedia receiver is equipped with a 3' color QVGA (320 x 24) video display. The 3" color LCD will play back video from a connected USB MSC device and display song/artist/album information from a USB, iPod/iPhone, or Bluetooth audio source. You can even view album art from USB and iPod/iPhone devices.

• Display Settings: You can select between a Blue or Black wallpaper (background). You can also choose between 3 brightness levels.
• Date & Time: The unit offers a Date & Time display. The time is displayed on all source screens (not menu screens). The date is only displayed when selected. The date & time are not visible when the unit is turned off.
• Video Lockout: To prevent the display of video while the vehicle is in motion, the light green wire (attached to rear-chassis) must be connected to the vehicle's parking brake detection circuit. You cannot view video unless your vehicle is stopped with the parking brake is engaged. If you attempt to view video without the parking brake engaged, the unit's LCD touchscreen will simply display "Parking Off". While your vehicle is in motion (parking brake off), you can still view all of the head unit's menu screens/settings, source information, metadata (including album art).

Note: The 3" video display is not a touchscreen.

Detachable Face: The JVC KD-X560BT features a detachable face to deter theft. No face case is included with this unit. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can be purchased for this unit.

Remote Control: The JVC KD-X560BT offers support for JVC's wireless and wired remote controls, as well as compatibility with select steering wheel control adapters (sold separately).

• Optional Wireless Remote: The KD-X560BT can be controlled wirelessly from JVC's RM-RK258 IR remote control (sold separately; not available at Crutchfield).
• Optional Wired Remote: The JVC receiver features a wired remote input wire (blue/yellow) which allows you to connect an optional JVC marine wired remote (105RMRK62M, sold separately).
• Optional Steering Wheel Control Adapter: The head unit features a steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately).

24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KD-X560BT in-dash digital media receiver utilizes a 24-bit (DAC (digital-to-analog converter) for superior sound quality.

MOSFET Amplifier: The JVC KD-X560BT 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. The power output specs for the KD-X560BT are as follows:

• Full Bandwidth Power: 16 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20-20kHz, 1% THD)
• Maximum Output Power: 45 watts x 4 channels (380 total watts)

5ch/2V Preamp Outputs: The JVC KD-X560BS features stereo front, stereo rear and mono subwoofer 2-volt preamp outputs. The front and rear speaker preamp outputs are balance and fade adjustable.
