About the Jensen VM8012
Jensen created the VM8012 DVD receiver as an affordable mobile video solution for your vehicle's standard-sized dash opening. Its 3" screen lets you watch movies when you're parked and clearly displays menus when you're browsing through your music playlists.
The VM8012 offers playback of DVD movies, as well as DVDs and CDs loaded with MP3 and WMA files. A built-in SD card slot and USB input make it easy to bring music and image files along for the ride.
Add a video camera or game console using the audio/video input, or use the video output to add an additional monitor for rear seat passengers. The included RCA Media Interface Cable lets you connect a number of portable music devices. Front, rear, and subwoofer preamp outputs let you add amplifiers to power your system.
Note: If you're going to use your iPod® with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter.
