JVC KD HDR50

With the iTunes tagging feature on the JVC KD HDR50, it allows users to store or "tag" information about that song they are hearing on HD Radio and keep it stored in the receiver for future use. The tagged song information will transfer to your iPod or iPhone and will be recalled back to you in iTunes, which then gives you the option to purchase the song from the iTunes store.

The JVC KD HDR50 provides the user with a very quick and simple way to tag your favorite songs on the HD radio. Whenever you hear a song you like, simply press the "Tag" button the the face of the head unit or you can hit the "Tag" button on the remote control that comes along with your JVC CD receiver.

Even if you don't have your iPod or iPhone connected to the JVC HD KDR50 at the time its OK because the head unit will remember your tags and transfer them to your Apple device. Then once you connect your iPod/iPhone to iTunes on your computer all your tagged songs will show up in the "Tagged" playlist on iTunes.

Just in case you haven't heard of HD Radio, I want to give you an idea of how great of a feature this is, and you can see why it is becoming so popular. HD Radio is a new digital technology that allows a radio station to transmit more information in the same radio wave, enabling higher quality sound and additional content with fewer commercials.

HD Radio technology on the JVC KD HDR50 makes AM Stations have FM Station-like sound quality, while FM Stations are broadcast with CD like sound quality. Unlike typical FM or AM transmission, HD Radio has crystal clear reception with low noise and no audio distortion. I would also like all of you to know that the HD digital radio feature that comes along with this JVC CD receiver is completely FREE and you will not need to pay any subscription fees or additional equipment!

I got this stereo for my wife's Jeep Liberty, a Valentine's day Gift. I did research for a week and This stereo have everything you can ask and you can't beat the price on Amazon.

Here are some features I like.
Built-in HD Radio(R) Tuner: Don't buy stereo without HD Radio. Like TV, all radio stations across US are converting to digital FM. Digital transmission has better signal and it displays name of songs/bands/artists.

MP3/WMA Compatible: You can play mp3 CDs.

Front USB Port: You can directly plug flash drive into USB port and it plays mp3s from it. I no more have to burn CDs for few new songs. I just copy them in flash drive and play from it.

Front AUX-IN: I have Sansa Mp3 player and I connect to Aux-in sometimes. I can play all the music from my mp3 player to car stereo.

Variable-Color Illumination: You can match the color of your car console to stereo display.

I like this stereo very much and would recommended it to anyone.

i have had this for a month now and i love it!! Put the iPod on shuffle and its like your own radio station without the annoying commercials. Don't have many HD radio stations in my area, but the few we have sound really good. Easy to use and setup, changed the color to match my dash. Great sound without a amp. Remote is a little small but the only con i con think of.
Nice unit for the price.

I bought this stereo about two months ago, and my final conclusion about it is that I love it! It may seem a little shallow, but I love the adjustable color illumination--purple for normal, orange for when the headlights are one. Several people have been complaining about the lack of face buttons for the radio, but my personal main use for this has been the USB in. It's so easy to load up my flash drive with music and have that sort of freedom when I'm in the car. Note--there's a little break between tracks, so if you're listening to, say, Pink Floyd's The Wall, you will notice a small break between tracks when listening to a flash drive. Another note--my car had a retractable antenna, which would only be up if I was listening to the radio; with this radio, it's up all the time, whether I'm listening to the radio or not. The seven band equalizer really brings out a lot more depth to my music.
