Direct Delivery Of Audio Via CD Changer or VCR Improves Dynamic Range Las Vegas, (CES, January 7-10, 1999) JVC, one of the world's leading integrated multimedia and electronics manufacturers, has improved the quality of it's Car A/V system with the introduction of the KV-RA2 Direct A/V Link Controller. This KV-RA2 Direct A/V Link Controller lets you connect JVC's 12-CD Changer and/or a VCR directly to any car audio receiver even to a factory receiver.

Direct Connection For True Sound Rendition
JVC's KV-RA2 Direct A/V Link system delivers the audio from the connected 12-CD changer and/or VCR directly to the receiver and speakers. You'll hear the difference right away the full dynamic range is delivered straight to the speakers, sound quality is completely uncompromised, and high frequencies retain all the dynamism of the original.

VCR/CD Changer Control
The KV-RA2 also comes with a remote control that gives you complete control over a connected CD changer and VCR. Directly or remotely, you can operate CD Changer features, including Direct Disc Select and two-mode Repeat/Random or VCR features like Play, Fast-Forward, and Rewind.

BBE High-Definition Sound
With JVC's exclusive new BBE high-definition sound system built-in, the KV-RA2 not only lets you upgrade your system, it boosts sound performance as well. By correcting the phase delay and distortion to ensure that the output sound is a true to the original recording as possible, BBE produces sound with clearer high frequencies, crisper vocals, and tight, well-defined bass.

The high-power built-in 40 W x 4 amplifier boosts the sound of any source, either connected or internal, while the combined J-Link signal/power cable makes connection easier. So, if you think installing a CD Changer or VCR in your car is more trouble than it is worth, think again. With the KV-RA2 Direct A/V Link, you can turn the receiver you already have into a powerful multimedia control center that will keep you happy for hours on end with non-stop A/V entertainment. Direct A/V Link CD Changer System CH-MA200 (CH-X200 + KV-RA2) JVC's super CH-MA200 Changer System is comprised of the CH-X200 12-CD Changer and the KV-RA2 Direct A/V Link System.

World's Smallest CD Changer
The ideal companion for the KV-RA2, the ultra-compact CH-X200 12-CD Changer features an ultra-thin laser pickup, slimmer magazine and powerful shock-proofing system with an angle-mounting capability so you can safely install it just about anywhere in your car. Superior sound performance is assured by a high-fidelity 1-Bit DAC converter and 8fs Digital Filter, a High-Precision 3-Beam laser pickup, and a Track Error Recovery System.

Faster CD Access Time and Improved Magazine Design
The CH-X200 won't keep you waiting forever while it changes discs. With a Linear Sliding Cam, Linear Sensor, and four Comb Fixing device, it assures fast, reliable access to the music you want to hear. The see-through 12-CD magazine is equipped with convenient features such as Magazine Lock Function, which keeps loaded discs from popping out, and Smart Eject, which ensures correct magazine ejection regardless of the installation angle.

Maximum A/V Control With JVC's KD-SX1000R
As one of JVC's top-of-the-line models, the KD-SX1000R comes with a powerful array of high-performance features that work together to ensure a truly enjoyable "home theater" style entertainment experience. Audio Cruise Mode enhances viewing and listening pleasure by optimizing the volume level to accommodate changes in vehicular speed. 40 W x 4 output power enabled by an exclusive high-power IC provides your system with an expansive audio environment while Sound Control Memory allows you to preset or customize equalization patterns.

Two pair of corrosion-resistant gold-plated line output terminals allow you to configure an even higher-grade full-channel A/V system with multiple amplifiers. High 4-volt output level for external amplifiers eliminates distortion at high volume levels and ensures a higher signal-to-noise ratio and wider dynamic range. The Amp Defeat Switch also eliminates distortion by cutting off the current through the receiver's amp and suppressing heat. Plus line input terminals allow you to connect an additional source (i.e. VCR). Besides getting control of all audio and video sources via the provided remote control, the KD-SX1000R features the added operational convenience of a unique multi-purpose Rotary Encoder Multi-Control. By changing the mode, the same dial gives you control over either volume level, sound characteristics or even general settings.

Also convenient is the KD-SX1000R's CD Text compatibility. Whenever you load a CD-Text-compatible CD, information about the disc, such as the title and the name of the artist, it is shown on the display. If you are using JVC's new CH-X200 12-disc Changer, CD Text Information from discs in the changer is also displayed.

The sophisticated RSD (Radio Data System) tuner system detects program identification signals from all available stations, automatically switching to the appropriate station when a specified source is detected. You can assign a particular station type, such as sports, news or music, to a one-touch button, so you can always have immediate access to the kind of programming you want at the touch of a button.

MOBILE COLOR TV SYSTEM
JVC's KV-M65 mobile color monitor completes the A/V package. Just the right size for in-car viewing, the monitor mounts in a variety of locations, such as the headrests behind the driver and passenger seats, never interfering with driving visibility. The KV-M65 has superb resolution for crisp, impactful images but is rugged enough to meet the demands of mobile use.

KZ-V10 4-Head VCR
Like any high-end home VCR, the compact KZ-V10 VCR has four video heads to ensure superb picture quality without bar noise and blurring. It can also play back

S-VHS format tape (S-VHS Quasi-Playback) and features hi-fi stereo for the ultimate in high-quality home theater picture and sound performance. The unit can be installed either vertically or horizontally to fit the configuration of any vehicle. Exclusively designed for car use, it is resistant to the harsh mobile environment that can include high vibrations, excessive dust and substantial temperature variations.
