JVC ANNOUNCES 2ND GENERATION HD RADIO? RECEIVER

New CD receiver offers built-in HD Radio tuner.

LAS VEGAS ? CES (Booth # N221/N222) ? January 5, 2006 ?  JVC puts mobile
audio enthusiasts in the digital driver's seat with today's introduction of
its second generation HD Radio? CD Receiver ? the KD-HDR1.  Packed with
features, the KD-HDR1 includes a built-in multi-cast capable HD Radio tuner,
is satellite radio ready, and Ready for iPodR", allowing iPod connection,
recharging and information display using JVC's KS-PD100 adapter.

For convenient iPod playback, the KD-HDR1 features JVC's new user interface
that mimics the iPod's click wheel.  A circular front panel control has
search and playback functions positioned identically to where they're placed
on the iPod click wheel.

The KD-HDR1's MOS-FET power amp delivers 50 watts x 4 maximum (20 watts x 4
RMS).  It features SRS CS-Auto?, which creates a smooth surround sound
effect over a four- or more speaker system with no discernable sweet spot,
providing all passengers with an optimal entertainment experience.  SRS
CS-Auto also includes two patented SRS post processing technologies ? Dialog
Clarity?, which delivers crisp, clear easily-discernable vocals, and
TruBassR, which delivers a deep, rich bass sound from any sized speakers.

Other KD-HDR1 features include JVC's Digital Integrated Alignment System
(DiAS) tuner, based on a unified chip rather than the more common hard-wired
analog tuner to deliver improved reception with only a bare minimum of
interference and signal fades to maximize the performance of regular analog
broadcasts.

Additionally, with the KD-HDR1's Digital 7-band iEQ, users can boost or cut
the level by up to 10dB on each of seven bands (60, 150, 400, 1k, 2.4k, 6k
and 15kHz) to customize the overall response according to a car's acoustic
environment.

 
 
The KD-HDR1 also features a switchable dimmer to enable easier viewing in
any light condition and an oval-shaped wireless remote control for one-touch
ease of use.

The JVC KD-HDR1 will be available in March and will sell for about $299.95.
