KD-X282DBT. With a high-reception DAB+ tuner, this media receiver not only guarantees brilliant digital radio sound, but with USB and Bluetooth audio streaming it is also a versatile entertainer and comfortable smartphone all-rounder. Thanks to its low installation depth of just 100mm, it can be easily installed even in confined spaces and, with DSP and 13-band equalizer, ensures perfect sound in every vehicle.

The Bluetooth module allows safe phone calls while driving and can be paired with up to two phones at the same time. The voice quality of the hands-free system is noticeably improved through the use of the supplied external microphone, plus sophisticated sound processing that suppresses background noise, for example, and thus further increases speech intelligibility. Pairing a smartphone for the first time is completely problem-free thanks to “BT Automatic Pairing” for iOS and Android and is initially done once via a USB port. The smartphone and car radio are then automatically paired via Bluetooth.

The DAB+ tuner receives the extensive range of digitally broadcast radio programs in fantastic quality, free of any background noise - and not just in Germany, as digital broadcasting is now available in almost all European countries. “Seamless Blending” enables uninterrupted reception even if the digital signal is temporarily unavailable. The receiver then switches to the corresponding FM station and back again quickly and practically inaudibly. This listening comfort is made possible by a data buffer that permanently stores the digital and analog signals of the selected program and coordinates them when switching.

The DSP with runtime correction allows music to be played back at the correct time and can be set individually for each channel. By selecting the type of speaker used and the respective distance from the listening position, the car radio automatically calculates the ideal delay for each individual channel to ensure that the sound reaches the listener at the correct time. This achieves ideal spatiality and location.

K2 technology developed by JVC restores the original sound of a recording by expanding the bit rate and frequency range. The K2 technology works with all sources including CDs and expands their recording spectrum, for example to 48 kHz/24 bit by reconstructing lost high-frequency components. With the JVC Remote App (Android & iOS) you can easily operate the moniceiver with your smartphone and control it using simple finger gestures. In addition to source selection, stations can also be switched and the volume adjusted. Even the equalizer and runtime correction can be easily adjusted using a smartphone app.
