A compact marine receiver with a color display
JBL's PRV-275 marine digital media receiver will change the way you listen to music on your boat — without forcing you to modify your vessel. This multimedia receiver packs a lot of features into a compact design that fits into a standard gauge opening.
You'll enjoy AM/FM radio, of course, plus built-in Bluetooth® that lets you stream music from your smartphone. You can also use the rear aux input for your music player, or plug a thumb drive into the rear USB port to enjoy your favorite music. You'll see what's playing (including album artwork) on the 2.7" LCD color display.
Efficient and expandable
The PRV-275 features three pairs of rear-mounted preamp outputs, so you can expand your system with more speakers and marine amps whenever you're ready. The color display, UV-stable face, and easy-to-use knob and other controls will stand up to sun, salt and moisture when you're riding the waves.
Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles.

You'll be able to wirelessly stream stored music, music apps and other audio content on your Bluetooth source device to the marine receiver.
