The high-sensitivity WAAS-enabled GPS gives you accurate navigation, while the built-in RDS-TMC tuner helps avoid traffic jams with real-time traffic information. Destinations can be searched for in multiple ways: POI (category/name/vicinity/phone number), address, last 50 destinations, favorite destinations and latitude/longitude. Points of Interest are grouped into easy to use categories such as restaurants, gas stations and hotels.

HDD Media Receiver Highlights

24 GB Music Server

For CD tracks recorded and played on the system, JVC-original Lossless Encoder Technology retains the original high quality. GIGA MP3 MULTI is extremely useful for managing huge archives—its high-speed copy function transfers a 60-minute MP3 disc in 1.5 minutes. Track information (album title, artist name, song title) can be easily tagged by burning PC-ripped CD contents onto a CD-ROM, then uploading them.

Navigation, Movies and Music Are All-in-One
The navigation system can play CD music, DVD movies, CDs and DVDs with JPEG still photos, MPEG 1/2 video files, or DivX® movies (DivX® Ultra Certified). Images or song information are displayed on the wide 3.5-inch monitor.
