A Car CD Player That Is Exceptional - The JVC KD-HDR1

By Randy Powell

The JVC model KD-HDR1 is a great choice if you want to listen to music store on a disc, hook up your iPod or listen to the radio. If you like listening to CDs, the KD-HDR1 handles both MP3 and WMA music files you've burned to a disc. And if you have an iPod, all it takes is to simply connect it to the JVC's optional iPod interface. You just need to make sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility. And if you inclined to listen to the radio, the KD-HDR1 offers exceptional AM/FM radio reception.

What this JVC model special is that its HD Radio and Sirius satellite radio ready. Its actually one of the few car stereos that come with a built-in HD (hybrid digital) radio tuner. HD radio works by sending out both analog and digital signals, compared to traditional analog AM/FM reception. It only takes up to 10 seconds for the device to pick up the radio channel's HD signal.

The HD Radio tuner allows you to tune into free HD Radio broadcasts on the HD Radio dial that cannot otherwise be heard on a typical FM radio system. This is called multicasting. The HD capability does not require additional equipment or tuners, or any extra wires to install. In HD mode, the audio reception becomes far clearer, with greater clarity that regular FM broadcasts.

As far as sound is concerned, the JVCs SRS Circle Surround Automotive delivers good surround sound from your car speakers. And, it has a powerful built-in MOSFET amplifier (20 watts). The KD-HDR1 has wireless remote which allows you to control the playback from the back of the car if you want. The remote control uses Infrared technology.

This model has a detachable faceplate, a digital clock and a night dimmer. The display, which is visible from the driver's seat, even in the direct sunlight, can display up to 8 characters at a time, which is perhaps the only disappointing feature. The display has a good mix buttons and dials for choosing and tweaking audio sources.

This JVC model is a popular find for the musical avant-garde. Its not everyone that wants to venture outside of the world of CD, iPod and analog radio. But for those sound lovers with an adventurous streak, the HD analog/digital feature opens a new world of sound reception. - 21396
