JVC KD-AVX77 (kdavx77) Incredible Single DIN Touchscreen DVD Receiver

[TJHolmes80]

Does the deck support playing video from an ipod? Is it compatible with the iphone 4? Does it support Pandora??....thanks

[SonicElectronixTV]

@TJHolmes80 This headunit does support iphone 4 but not pandora.

[parqueros3ce]

I was wondering if u can help me? How can I get it to put my own pictures as wallpaper?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@parqueros3ce Unfortunately, we do not have this information available. Please contact the manufacurer to obtain this information.

[Catalysis1144]

@SonicElectronixTV Check Manual page 16 .. I did uploaded pics from my USB

[SonicElectronixTV]

@Catalysis1144 That is good to know. We will update our records!

[DeanoPoker]

I'm also looking for a 7' screen to custom mount in front passenger dash. I'm after a screen that has only a power (on/off) button on the front. All other controls need to be via remote. Any suggestions?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@DeanoPoker Unfortunately we don't have much of anything that only has a power button on the front. The Power Acoustik PT-700MHR does not have any buttons on the face, so that may be your best option. We do also have some great deals on monitors with more buttons, such as the ScyTek PV-HR-700P.

[DeanoPoker]

What speaker do you recommend for the centre channel?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@DeanoPoker There aren't too many specific "Center Channel" speakers on the market for car audio applications. One exception to this would be the Pioneer TS-CX7, which is one of the better options available. However, any single 3.5" - 4" coaxial speaker should do the trick. Plus, since those speakers are usually sold as a pair, you'll have a spare!

[naks26]

Does this unit have support for an external RCA PAL input from a reversing camera? If so, does it display that when the camera goes live? thanks!

[SonicElectronixTV]

@naks26 You can definitely hook up a reverse camera to this unit and it will display the moment it goes live. It also has a set of RCA A/V inputs just incase the screen is too small and you want to add an external monitor.

[JDMCam87]

Does this not come wit a remote???

[SonicElectronixTV]

@JDMCam87 Yes the unit comes with a remote for convenience and ease of use.

[JDMCam87]

@SonicElectronixTV damn ima gonna hav to get this thn

[SonicElectronixTV]

@JDMCam87 I would highly suggest it, it is an amazing unit and the sound quality is great. Its also easy to use and has many features that will make you happy.

[flossidolla]

Can you please help me? I cant control my ipod from my stereo.. I can hook it up via bluetooth, but it doesn't show the songs or artwork..

[SonicElectronixTV]

@flossidolla The artist songs and artwork will not display when hooked up via Bluetooth. You will need to hook up the iPod directly for those functions to work.

[dwnorris88]

Epic win for the ipod having kraftwerk on it.

[SMGMP7A1]

@SonicElectronixTV Is there a newer Model of this headunit and does this have enough outputs for 2 headrest monitors? Does it support a steering wheel control support module? I planned on getting a Kenwood KIV 901BT how does this compare? sorry for the 20 questions.

[SonicElectronixTV]

@SMGMP7A1 This model of the KD-AVX77 is still being produced in JVC's 2011 line-up so it hasn't yet been replaced by another model.  This stereo has one set of A/V RCA outputs which will allow connection to a monitor, and you can use a splitter to connect multiple monitors. Both units will connect to a steering wheel control module. Comparing the Kenwood KIV-BT901 - it is a newer model and may have some increased performance. The KD-AVX77 can playback DVD's, and has a different interface.

[BattleAxWarior]

great deck for sure, i love everything about it!!!

[ThinkGoldStudios]

hi, i just put a 20" monitor in my dash, is there a way i can connect the display from that deck to another monitor?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@ThinkGoldStudios If the deck in your dash has an RCA video output on it then you can connect the monitors together from the composite video output from the deck to the composite video input on your other monitor.

[detroitMC313]

Hey, I'm about to buy a 1 din in-dash system for my car (2001 escape), but my car has a 2 din slot... Is this hard to install?? And what would I have to purchase to install it?? Thanks

[SonicElectronixTV]

@detroitMC313 It won't be difficult to install at all. The dash kit that comes with your car will change the extra space into a convenient slot that can be used for storage. The dash-kit that's included with your vehicle is the Scosche FD1327B. This kit will be included for free when you order a stereo from us to make your installation extremely simple! You should also consider a crimping tool and some connectors, to make wire connections. Also a pry tool and a screw driver are recommended.

[detroitMC313]

@SonicElectronixTV Thanks

[VerTigo456]

Hey,

Really like this unit. If I have an HTC Evo, am I able to bluetooth stream audio? Thanks...

[SonicElectronixTV]

@VerTigo456 This unit wasn't manufactured at the same time as the HTC Evo, so unfortunately we can't guarantee anything with that phone. You can contact JVC to see it's compatible, or you can see if they've released any firmware updates to alleviate any issues if there are any.

[ModeraterX]

@VerTigo456 Its compaitable with the droid 2.. Just bought it and tryed it out today.

[ilshwak]

@VerTigo456

I have a samsung mp3 player (yp-p3) that has bluetooth and it worked with this stereo.

[alkeli78]

I've tried this unit, bad purchase. It's cool, and is awesome to play with in the store. But using it while you're driving is horrible!!!

Too much time taken off the road to watch the screen as you press buttons, to make sure you press the right spot. Buttons that you can feel without looking are much better and safer. With my JVC KD-R811, I don't even have to take my eyes off the road to use it...

[8stefan9]

Hello,

I thank you for the previous advice, I have to propose a final question, could you list the features that must have a video for playback via USB .... I mean codec, bitrate, etc. etc. Thanks again for everything you are my very helpful;)

[8stefan9]

Hello,

just yesterday I finally received my avx77, experiment a bit here and there so I put a question, that I could connect an external HDD voledo (Wuestern Digital My Passport)? Many thanks Regards

[SonicElectronixTV]

@8stefan9 @8stefan9 Unfortunately the radio will not be able to interface with an external hard drive. JVC recommends the largest flash drive be a 4 GB (or maybe if you're lucky an 8GB).

Unofficially, they also told us that PERHAPS you could connect a hard drive to it, or flash drives larger than 8GB if they are properly formatted. I believe the HDD or flash drive needs to be formatted for FAT32, and all of the organization on the HDD needs to be in folders.

[knowledgeiswhatsup]

Any USB album art? How fast does the unit scan USB drives (32GB)?

[316iRacer]

is there anything better than this now? its been more than a year, i mean to say in this format also, and can you use a usb stick on this? hope for answers, thanks.

[8stefan9]

Hello I wanted to ask you a question ...... I know, because I'm about to buy the avx77, if it is compatible to the ipod touch? Thanks in advance

[SonicElectronixTV]

@8stefan9 It depends which generation of iPod touches. They should be compatible with all models except the 3G, however with an iPod interface cable it should solve any compatibility complications. Contact JVC and ask if they've confirmed any information on the iPhone Touch 3rd Gen if you have one.

[8stefan9]

@SonicElectronixTV Hello, I bought a second generation ipod touch can you tell me if it is compatible. thank you very much

[SonicElectronixTV]

@8stefan9 Indeed a 2nd Generation iPod Touch will work just fine. You'll be able to control the iPod through the radio, as well as allow it to charge.

[jjz99]

hi there, how do you upload a custom wallpaper, for ex. I got a JPEG file and want to upload it. How do you do that? thanks in advance

[SonicElectronixTV]

@jjz99 I'm quite sure you can only use the customer background to take captures of DVD playback. I could be wrong, but refer to page 13 in your user manual for info about the AV setup including the capture feature. It tells you how to take a screen capture to set as your background. I'm not sure if you can load them straight off of a flash drive. So burn your JPEG file onto a DVD if need be.

[6satan6ist6]

all these ridiculous features tell me that the head unit is not a long lasting one.. :/

[kirgeez]

Does the face come off this unit for security?

[SonicElectronixTV]

@kirgeez Yes, the AVX77 has a detachable faceplate. The package also includes a carrying case so you can keep the faceplate with you, which in my opinion, is better than leaving it in your glove box!

[habilidoso10]

Is it possible to conect a center channel speaker in this player without an amplifier? For exemple ... can I conect the Alpine SBS-05DC direct in the "center out"? I already have a 4channel (4x 100Wrms 4ohms)amplifier for the two 6-1/2" Component Systems and a 12" subwoofer.

[SonicElectronixTV]

@habilidoso10 The center channel output the KD-AVX77 has is -purely- only a pre-amp output. In the case you'd like to hook up a center channel speaker to it, you would need amplification coming from an external source. The KD-AVX77 has it's own amplified speaker leads, but you will not be able to use these for the center channel and make it sound correct. For more information, check out our main websites forum to collaborate with other car audio enthusiasts!

[scurvy]

I just want to know if you can use pandora from in iphone on this.. anyone know?

[jjess8757]

can this fit in a audi tt 2004?

[jeppoification]

if you dont know if this will fit in your car maybe you should just go get a shop to do it

[phadil]

did he say brand new in a year 2009 or brand new for USD2009?

[Asteiner90]

Will this head unit fit a 1995-1998 jeep grand cherokee?

[QbAnYtO]

is that LANCE BASS???!!!

[hca831]

man im switching my avx44 to this!! every feature i didnt like about the avx44, or that it lacked, jvc picked up the slack withthis unit!!

[05ymarie]

I have a 2005 Saturn Ion 2. Do you think I can install this in my car?

[gordycpk]

i got this like 3 months ago and i recomend it to everyone,deffo one of the best head units iv ever owned!

[allmightyjamestown]

is there anything better in its class?? i own a kd-avx2 and im looking to upgrade.. altho the kd-nx5000 looks alike it too much.. i need something like this!

[to0r]

Is it possible to add a dvb-t receiver to this to watch tv on the front screen?

[WZW1982]

Does this stop dvd playback while the car is moving?

[captleonidas]

Capt: question, what are the dimension of the JVC KD-AVX77? I need to know if it would fit.

[SonicElectronixTV]

We recently sold out of them (don't worry, we have another shipment coming in soon), so i can not get you the specific dimensions right now. However it is a standard single DIN size. This will fit in just about every vehicle. What car are you looking to put it in?

[finalbio]

does this single din fit an 02 acura rsx please i need to know so i can send it back if it doesant fit

[SonicElectronixTV]

Yeah, this will fit fine. The dash kit that you will need will most likely include a pocket to fill in the extra space. You are going to love it!

[tokayd]

Does this unit have RDS (Radio Data System) function as I checked out the specs but I couldnt find any info on it.

[jimbodgreat]

i have a problem.. why is it that the device cannot detect my USB, IPOD and Iphone even if i connect it directly to the USB? do i have to make/addjust some settings? the problem with the manual is that its not complete.. some instrustions are missing eg. where the bluetooth menu is- how to activate it and see it on the menu/ SCR. pls help. im from the philippines and i was expecting for it to be just another Plug and play setting. you response would be greatly appreciated. thanx.

[shawneal1]

does this unit have a video ouput to connect to an external moniter?

[SonicElectronixTV]

its does have the A/V outputs for an external monitor. It also features 5.1 Channel Dolby Digital or Dolby Pro Logic II to get the most out of your audio.

[shawneal1]

thanks for the quick reply - I will definately look into getting one now

[scapegoat666]

so ok if its going through the usb?

is it compatible with zune?

[SonicElectronixTV]

The interface and software is designed for the iPod and iPhone, so the same playback and control would not be possible with a Zune. However, it does have a set of rear A/V inputs, as well as A2DP Bluetooth streaming. There are ways to connect a Zune, you just wouldn't be able to control it from the AVX-77 itself.

[FULIAN]

i got this today, its awsome

[SebR1nG]

So the USB is only rear? How can one "get it" to front, while not looking stupid - just some wires hanging from the back of the console?

[SonicElectronixTV]

The USB cable for iPod connection can be run into a glove box or center console. Depending on the vehicle there are different options of where to run the wire. Since the iPod can be controlled via the AVX-77, you can plug the iPod in, put it in the glove compartment, and leave it there while still getting full iPod access.

[DuffmasterFresh]

this unit will make all of the single din car owners out there VERY happy!

[swerv11n]

Does it play widescreen visualizations while playing music? Can you use the external mic for things other than phone calls? Like us it when music is playing.

[SonicElectronixTV]

The microphone is going to be used just for the Bluetooth hands-free feature. That means talking on the phone (of course) as well as voice dialing (when paired with a phone compatible with that feature). As far as a widescreen visualization, the kd-avx77 doesn't have that feature. At least, we couldn't find it! That would be a really nice feature though.

[dopenessinsurround]

I have been waiting years for there to be a new single DIN touchscreen JVC... I bought the kd-ar5500 off your site a few years back but it got water damage. Since then I didnt like the JVC line-up and used a Pioneer with only 3.5V lines that just didn't sound as clear. I am thoroughly impressed with this. Looking forward to ordering this off your site.

[SonicElectronixTV]

We uploaded a video talking about the DVD and iPod video playback. Check out the video responses above!

[YelloJello]

I am thinking of getting this... can you show any dvd or ipod video playback?

[SonicElectronixTV]

You bet we can! If you haven't seen already, we posted another video showing the iPod video and DVD playback. Check it out!

[R4you]

And the DVD???
