Discover More Content and Listening Options With HD Radio
HD Radio is a Digital Broadcast technology that enables high-quality sound with crystal clear reception, low noise, and no audio distortion.

Multicasting allows more accesible stations that contain additional music format, genre, and talk radio options that have, until now, never been heard through other radio broadcast mediums.

HD Radio is being broadcast in over 200 major U.S. Markets and growing. It is completely free of charge--all you need is a HD Radio-enabled stereo.

And of course, you can still tune into your favorite AM and FM stations.

iTunes Tagging
iTunes Tagging lets you "tag" songs you hear on local HD Radio stations so you can purchase them later from the iTunes store.

Separated Variable Color
The KD-HDR60 features a Full-Dot LCD with JVC's Separated Variable-Color. Personalize your stereo to match your vehicle's interior illumination colors. Separated variable color lets you use two separate colors from a choice of over 30,000 options to create your own color scheme.

CD and USB Audio
Play back your favorite CDs and CD-R/RW discs, or go with a USB thumb drive or other USB device for enjoyment of your MP3 or WMA audio files. You can also pop in a CD-R full of digital audio files if you'd prefer that route.

An advanced multi-bit analog-to-digital converter provides a solid sound base, and you can perfect it with the seven-band EQ. For quiter listening, a Loudness function is provided, to ensure you still get some low-end and dynamics.

USB Audio and Video for iPod/iPhone
The USB connection for iPod/iPhone provides clear digital sound directly from your iPod or iPhone. While your device is in use, it also receives a charge, so it's ready to step out of the car when you do. Since the KD-R810 features two USB ports, you can connect two different iPods, or a USB device along with an iPod.

With External Mode for iPod, you can also enjoy sound from your favorite iPod/iPhone apps in your vehicle, such as Internet radio, games, video, or navigation apps.

Auxiliary Input
A 3.5mm front-panel aux input lets you connect most any device, such as MP3 Players or iPods/iPhones, for enjoyment through the receiver.

4 out of 5 stars Very Pleased   August 28, 2010
Israel Colon, PhD
I have not had it very long. I have minimal use of all the features, so it meets my needs very well so far. Playing files off USB was a breeze. Nice sound and color changeable panel is very neat looking.


5 out of 5 stars Excellant feature set; great bang for the buck   August 18, 2010
Dig The Dome (Kingston, GA United States)
I wanted this for the HD radio and USB feature first and the .mp3 CD next. The USB is awesome when used with a thumb drive. I like listening to certain pod casts and the thumb drive is the way to go while driving. When you are done you can delete the pod cast and replace it with another. I live in the Atlanta metro area and HD radio is plentiful, but like others have mentioned if the signal isn't just right you get nothing unless it is a simulcast with an analog FM station. The item description mentions something about IPOD, but I try to stay away from proprietary technology and opt for more of the open source style products.

Pros:
1) USB - the thumbdrive capability is perfect for updating music as the need/want arises and for listening to pod casts.
2) Audio (sound) quality rocks
3) .mp3 capability - both USB and CD - I have my base set of music on CD and the pod casts and changing music tastes on the thumbdrive.
4) ease of installation (it did replace a 13 yr old JVC)
5) can add satellite radio and/or blue tooth (blue tooth a definite possibility...)
6) Remote control is small, but for raising and lowering volume or changing tracks/stations it is perfect. Any additional capability would detract from driving safety. Nothing else should be done while driving anyway. My remote from the old unit is bigger and I will still be using it as I am used to all the buttons' locations.

Cons:
1) Wish I had been able to learn more first hand how well HD radio is implemented in Atlanta. The technology may just not be up to par yet. Others have mentioned about HD signals are either there or not. It is not unusual for the HD signal to fade and the audio to just drop without warning. If the stations you are tuned to is the digital version of the analog FM station it will jump back and forth so it isn't too bad. If it is the HD-2 or higher station or the HD-1 isn't matched to the analog FM then there is silence when the signal fades. It happens more than I would care for it to. I do live in an outlying area, but even when inside I-285 around Atlanta the stations will come and go.
2) JVC's customer service (I contacted them with a pre-sales question prior to purchase and am still waiting on response, 10 days ago.)
3) The wiring harness from the old unit doesn't match the new one. I would think JVC would try to keep things as compatible as possible to encourage more frequent replacements.

My cons don't affect the sound quality which is excellent. It has preset tone/equalizer settings that fit for most audio, but it also has the capability to adjust tone independently. A nice feature is the unit's ability to match to any color dash by changing the color of the lights that the unit presents. The display lights also dim when the headlights come on. I gave the unit 5 stars even though the HD radio is lacking, however that may not be a function of this radio but the HD technology itself.



4 out of 5 stars Great price for whats included   August 17, 2010
brad s
i bought the unit at best buy (had gift cards so got good deal) it was on sale for $149. installation was easy when you buy the correct adapter for your car. sound quality is excellant. added about 15 more HD stations that i was unable to get prior. have not used it for the ipod/iphone yet. many color options you can change the screen colors and button colors to different colors which is pretty cool. JVC for me has always had good quality decks so i am happy with this purchase.
Pros:
quality of sound
ease of installation
built in HD tuner

cons:
the only thing i really dont like about it is the dinky little remote. it has a spot to where you can hook it up to your keychain kinda too small same size has car alarm remotes


****UPDATE****
hooked up a 2nd and a 4th generation ipod to the reciever only taked maybe 3 seconds for it to 'read' the ipod and then it plays very nice also it charges my blackberry 8330 through the usb which is a plus :)



5 out of 5 stars AWESOME!   May 15, 2010

This stereo is pretty cool. Very good EQ choices. Tons of colors to choose from. The ipod connectivity is a little slow, and switching from head unit to ipod mode could be faster. Easy install. The HD radio is awesome. Plenty of stations to choose from. There are no preset buttons but presets are easy to use. Comes with a cute little remote, as my girlfriend stats. My whole family uses it, so the user interface it easy. Over all this is a great stereo, good for its price. I would totally recommend.


4 out of 5 stars Great unit for price, but...   May 8, 2010

After spending a couple weeks doing research on HD radio receivers (with it BUILT-IN, not "capable") at retail stores like Best Buy and online, I bit the bullet on this unit through Amazon. The unit shipped fast, and there were instructions to install (it also comes with everything necessary but the wire harness), as well as a 1 year warranty.

I bought this unit because it was the cheapest unit with all the features I wanted (HD Radio & USB), and also because I love the colors and way that radio presets are handled -- instead of there only being 6 buttons along the bottom so that each band can only have 6 presets like most other receivers, this unit just has an up and down arrow which you cycle through for each FM band, and has up to 18 presets for each -- and I use that amount! Also, the unit can auto-detect usb/aux inputs which is cool.

While I love many features of this unit, I do have a few issues...first of all, don't be sucked into all this "capable" BS. Bluetooth capable, etc means you need to purchase a $60-80 add-on; it is cheaper (and less of a hassle) to just buy a unit with bluetooth built in. Secondly, the way usb is handled is sort of...terrible. The navigation is just flat out awful (and I'm a computer scientist; I'm supposed to be good at this stuff!) and after reading the manual just realized it is easier to simply use the usb port as a charger, and then use the aux input to play audio so that I can control everything from my device (a blackberry). Sad, but it really is much simpler...Lastly, the remote is pretty basic and unneeded; still, I am not a fan of remotes for car stereos, so maybe I am just biased.

All in all, I recommend this unit, especially because of its low price.
