JVC KW-MZ610

CD/MDレシーバー: JVC built the KW-MZ610 in 2003 around its display, and it shows. The level meter has five different animation modes, including one that falls from the top of the screen like a shower and another that rotates, and you can switch the whole thing off if you would rather just read the track name. Underneath the theatre it is a properly specified deck: the CD section quotes 99 dB signal to noise and 98 dB dynamic range, the strongest CD transport in this drop, and the MD side handles MDLP so an 80 minute disc recorded in LP4 runs for 320 minutes. It reads MP3 discs with ID3 tag display as well. The detail worth knowing is the amp gain switch, which drops maximum output from 45W to 30W per channel so you can run smaller factory speakers without cooking them. AUX is a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack, which makes connecting a phone or a Bluetooth module about as painless as it gets on a deck this age.

Bluetooth is included, and tested.

Amplifier has been tested successfully.

MD has been tested and is not working :(
