JVC KD-X38MBS Digital Media Receiver
The JVC KD-X38MBS is a 2-line VA LCD digital media receiver designed for automotive and marine environments. Its conformal coated PCBs protect against moisture and condensation in harsh conditions. The unit fits tight spaces with a compact chassis.
Built-in Bluetooth for music streaming
This receiver suits users who want wireless audio from smartphones via Bluetooth or USB connections. It supports Android and iPod/iPhone playback with the ability to pair five devices simultaneously. Buyers needing CD playback or built-in navigation should look elsewhere.
Three 4.0V RCA pre-outs for amplifiers
The three RCA terminals deliver 4.0V high-voltage signals to reduce noise and distortion with external amplifiers. This voltage level is the key specification for matching the receiver to an aftermarket amp. SiriusXM readiness adds satellite radio capability.
