JVC KD-TD72BT CD receiver

Product details

Loaded in-dash stereo

JVC's KD-T72BT CD receiver packs a lot of features into a straightforward car stereo that will fit in many vehicles. Since your phone is the gateway to many of your favorite tunes, you get simple controls for streaming media from your smartphone. You can also play your own high-res music files from a USB drive, and it includes Bluetooth® for wireless music streaming. Once your music's going, you can tweak it with some of the deepest tone control options I've seen on a receiver at this price point.

Bluetooth for all

For the times when you're sharing the ride, the KD-T72BT enables you to pair two Bluetooth-equipped phones and quickly switch between them for hands-free calling. And when you're streaming audio, JVC's Streaming DJ feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can pick their tunes for the ultimate road trip party. You can wirelessly stream and control the playback functions of just about any Internet radio service, including Spotify, TIDAL, and Qobuz. You can also control this stereo directly from your iPhone® or Android™ phone by downloading JVC's free Remote app.

Plays all types of music

Enjoy music your way on the longest road trips using the receiver's sensitive AM/FM radio, CD player, and front aux input for a portable music player. You can plug your iPhone into the front-panel USB port and control your music while you charge your phone. With your iPhone plugged in, you can switch between your favorite Pandora stations for hours of variety. Android users, you get the same options wirelessly using Bluetooth. The USB port can also handle music stored on a thumb drive, including high-resolution FLAC music files.  

This simple layout lets you quickly get to your tunes.

Shape it your way

Once your favorite tunes are going, you can refine your sound with the onboard 13-band graphic equalizer and digital time alignment — that's a lot of tone-shaping capability in an "entry-level" receiver. JVC's K2 technology spruces up the sound of overly compressed digital music (like MP3 files and Bluetooth audio) with some clever processing.

Since many car speakers are located down low in the doors, the KD-T72BT offers Sound Lift, which adjusts your music's frequencies to virtually "raise" your speakers for better, more natural imaging. If you're adding an amplifier or a powered subwoofer, two sets of preamp outputs provide you the clean signal you need for added output.
