Hi, I'm Ken and today we're looking at the JVC KW-NX7000 navigation receiver. Now I'm
going to focus on four features of this stereo: the 7" touchscreen display, navigation, the
add-on Bluetooth module, and iPod controls.
The 7" LCD touchscreen display has an adjustable display angle and brightness, so you'll be
able clearly in your dash. And you can customize the appearance by selecting from four different
background designs in twelve colors. It plays DVD movies and also mpeg video files, and
you can connect a rear-view camera.
Here's a couple of cool touchscreen features. If you want to change your track forward,
just drag your finger right across. If you want to change the volume, just spin it like
a volume ***. Take it up, or take it down.
Navigation is the highlight of this stereo. The KW-NX7000 does it very well, and you get
the benefit of this giant display for viewing the map, your route, and nav directions. It
has 12 million points of interest, so you won't have any problem finding important destinations.
It also boasts text-to-speech, which will announce the names of streets as you need
to turn and lane guides so you won't get caught out in the left lane when you need to exit
right. It also has speed limit signs that will show you the current speed limit for
the road you're on.
Originally, Bluetooth was an optional feature for this stereo, but now the Bluetooth adapter's
included free. That's a savings of over $100. Now, with Bluetooth, you can make and receive
phone calls through the stereo. It uses an external mic, which you can mount on the mirror,
sun visor, or on your dash for optimal pickup. Whatever works best for you. You answer or
ignore calls with a quick tap of the touchscreen plus you can set the stereo to answer or reject
all incoming calls automatically.
You make calls by using the touchscreen's keypad, selecting a phone book entry or selecting
a number from your call history. You can also stream music to the stereo if you have a Bluetooth
capable audio device.
When it comes to listening to your tunes, the KW-NX7000 will take care of you. Just
plug your iPod directly into the USB input and then you can operate it with the touchscreen
controls. The stereo's compatible with newer iPods, including the iPod Touch. But, if you
want to view video from your iPod or if you have an iPhone, then you will need the optional
video interface.
Besides the USB input and CD/DVD playback, the stereo also has an audio/video input.
So, no matter what your source, that makes it easy for you to check out all kinds of
A/V content. And no matter what you're listening to, it'll sound good thanks to the powerful
internal amp, 24-bit D/A converter, and a 7-band equalizer for fine tuning.
JVC's amplifier gain control limits the amount of power sent to your speakers. You'll turn
that on if you're listening over factory speakers, so the music stays as clear as it can, even
when you turn up the volume.
Well, that's a quick look at the JVC KW-NX7000 navigation receiver. You can find all the
