Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79 by Zak Billmeier Why replace your factory radio? Two good reasons - sound quality and cool features. A new car stereo offers power that's superior to most factory radios, along with more sophisticated tone controls. And most car stereos offer built-in or optional features that add safety and fun to life in your car, including inputs for your iPod or MP3 player, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free cell phone calls, satellite radio or HD Radio reception, and connections for building an audio system in your car. Crystal-clear digital radio Love listening to local radio? The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79 CD receiver lets you tap into the wicked digital sound of HD Radio™. When you tune into a participating AM or FM station, you'll really notice the difference in fidelity and reception, plus you can check out the alternate programming offered by many stations. And here's another cool feature — you can adjust this receiver's variable-color display to match your dash lighting. You can even set one color for the main display, and pick another for the buttons and controls. Tag the tunes you like First, plug your iPod or iPhone® into the handy front-panel USB slot. Now, get ready to fly through your songs and playlists with the KD-HDR70's controls. You can also switch control to the iPod itself for all those DJs in the back seat. All song and artist info will show up on the receiver's 2-line display. Once your iPod's connected, you can take advantage of the tagging feature — just "tag" a song you're hearing on an HD Radio station, and you'll be prompted to buy it from the iTunes® store the next time you connect your iPod to the computer. iPod note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver or its optional iPod adapter. It all starts with the sound You'll get plenty of clean volume without distortion from the muscular built-in amplifier, and you can dial in the perfect tone for your vehicle using the flexible 3-band parametric EQ. Play all your music This versatile stereo will handle all your CDs and recordable discs, as well as discs or or thumb drives you've loaded with MP3 and WMA files. With two auxiliary inputs, you can connect a satellite radio dock semi-permanently to the rear input, while you use the front input to plug in a game console or other audio source. Building a system? Three sets of high-powered 5-volt preamp outputs send a super-clean signal to your outboard amps. The subwoofer output features a selectable low-pass filter, and you can use the sub level control to add just the right amount of bass. The KD-AHD79 also works with JVC's Bluetooth® adapter so you can conduct phone conversations while both hands stay on the wheel. Want to keep your steering wheel controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this JVC stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the JVC, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters.

Display Features Audio Section Radio Functions Disc Playback USB/iPod/Aux Connectivity Bluetooth/Remote Control Display Features Detachable Face: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79 features a detachable face to deter theft. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if desired. Note: No face case is included with this unit. An optional soft face case (142DFC1X, sold separately) can be purchased for this unit. 2-Line LCD: The head unit features a 12-segment, two-line LCD with adjustable color, brightness, and dimmer settings. Variable Color LCD & Key Illumination: The JVC KD-AHD79 features 29 color presets for the LCD and button illumination. You can choose one of these color presets or select the ColorFlow mode which scrolls through all 29 color presets. Additionally, there is a User preset, allowing you to individually adjust the intensity of Red, Green, and Blue from 0 to 31; resulting in approximately 30,000 custom color options. The chosen color preset or custom color can be applied to the display panel and the backlighting for all the buttons except the Display, Brightness, & Eject buttons (they remain red). You can choose to use the same color for the LCD display and button illumination, or use a separate color for each one. You can also select a different color for daytime and nighttime in regards to the unit's LCD and button illumination. Brightness: The unit offers an adjustable display and button illumination brightness level (0-31) for day and nighttime driving. Display/Button Illumination Dimmer: The display/button illumination dimmer can be set to Off (normal brightness at all times), On (display/button illumination is always dimmed), or Auto (display dims when 12-volts is applied to the orange/white illumination lead). Audio Section 24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79 utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior CD sound quality. MOSFET Amplifier: The KD-AHD79 is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit. CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the KD-AHD79 are compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and between manufacturers. The power output specs for the KD-AHD79 are as follows: CEA2006 Specs: 20 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 1% THD-N) Maximum Power Output: 50 watts x 4 channels (200 total watts) Amplifier Gain Control: When you are using the KD-AHD79 with factory speakers (or those rated to less than 50 watts peak), the Amplifier Gain Control can limit the amount of power being sent to those speakers. When the Amp Gain Control is set to "low," the volume control ranges from 0 (minimum) to 30 (maximum). When using speakers rated higher than 50 watts peak, you can set the Amp Gain Control to "high," and the volume control will range from 0 to 50. Volume Adjust: The input level of each source (other than FM) is adjustable relative to the FM radio volume, so there isn't a significant volume difference when changing sources. Each source is individually adjustable from -5 to +5. Pro EQ: The KD-AHD79 is equipped with JVC's Pro EQ. The integrated equalizer offers 7 preset sound modes (Flat, Natural, Dynamic, Vocal Boost, Bass Boost, User) suitable for the music genre of your choice. The User mode allows you to manually adjust the head unit's 3-band parametric EQ (Frequency, Level, and Q-Factor). Tone Pro EQ Frequency Level Q Bass 60, 80, 100, 200 Hz +/- 12 dB (-6 to +6) 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0 Midrange 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.5 kHz +/- 12 dB (-6 to +6) 0.75, 1.0, 1.25 Treble 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5 khz +/- 12 dB (-6 to +6) Fixed Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume level. You can turn this feature on or off. 5V/6CH Preamp Output: The KD-AHD79 is equipped with three pair of 5V preamp outputs (Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The front & rear preamp outputs offer balance/fade control and are designed to hookup to a full-range 4-channel amplifier. The subwoofer preamp output is non-fading and designed to hookup to a mono-block subwoofer amplifier. Built-in Crossovers: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79 features a built-in high-pass filter for the unit's front & rear speakers and a low-pass filter for the unit's subwoofer output. High-Pass Filter: You can activate a high-pass filter (fixed) for the unit's front & rear channels (speaker- or preamp-level), so low frequency signals are cut off from your system's front & rear speakers. Low-Pass Filter: The unit's subwoofer preamp output features a low-pass filter. In order to prevent high-frequencies from being sent to your system's subwoofers, you can set the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter to 55Hz, 85Hz, or 120Hz. Subwoofer Level: You can adjust the KD-AHD79's subwoofer level (0-8) independently from the head unit's main volume control for added bass volume. Key-Touch Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off. Radio Functions Built-in HD Radio: With the built-in HD Radio tuner, you can receive digital AM/FM broadcasts from local stations where available. This new technology will significantly improve audio quality and reception, as well as include information such as artist name and song titles or traffic news, viewable on the receiver's display. HD Radio Technology will deliver high-quality digital sound. AM digital will have FM-like quality in stereo, while FM digital will have CD-like quality with static free and clear reception. Note: Right now there are about 2,000 radio stations broadcasting using digital HD Radio technology in the U.S. To find HD Radio stations in your area, visit the HD Radio website (HDRadio.com). Multicasting: In addition to conventional broadcasts, with HD Radio broadcasting, it is possible to choose from up to 8 multicast programs (HD1 to HD8 and analog). There are also data programs for each program. Text Display: AM/FM digital stations can offer text and data such as artist names and song titles. The built-in HD Radio tuner displays song title, artist and station information on the display of the JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79. Analog Broadcasts: In addition to HD AM/FM stations, the KD-AHD79 can also receive conventional analog AM/FM broadcasts. Digital/Analog Tuning: You can setup the KD-AHD79 to search both analog and digital radio stations, only HD Radio stations, or analog radio stations only. Digital/Analog Presets: You can set up to 18 FM and 6 AM digital/analog presets stations as presets (HD Radio multicast channels can also be preset). Presets can be set manually or automatically, using Strong-station Sequential Memory (SSM). Mono Mode: If an analog FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive, you can manually switch the tuner to Mono operation. IF Filter: You can also switch the analog tuner's IF filter to Wide or Auto to increase/decrease the sensitivity. US/European Tuning: You can set the built-in AM/FM tuner between US standard and European tuning spacing. Disc Playback Disc Compatibility: The unit features a single disc player that will playback CD-Audio, CD-Text, and finalized CD-R/CD-RW audio discs. MP3/WMA Playback: The KD-AHD79 can play MP3 (8-320 kbps)/WMA files (8-192 kbps) that have been recorded on CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Each disc can have a maximum of 8 folder hierarchies, 255 folders, and no more than a total of 512 files and/or folders on each disc. The unit also supports IDTag3 (version 1.0, 1.1, 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4) for album and artist information from MP3 or WMA files. Track/Folder List: The Track/Folder List displays a list of MP3/WMA folders and tracks on a loaded CD, so you can easily access your music. The Track/Folder List will also display the list of track titles on a CD Text disc. If the MP3/WMA disc contains a lot of tracks, you can fast search (+/-10 or +/-100) through the disc by turning the unit's control dial quickly. Random/Repeat Modes: The JVC KD-AHD79 offers the following Repeat and Random playback modes for your audio CDs. Repeat: Track Repeat (plays the current track repeatedly), Folder Repeat (plays all tracks of the current folder repeatedly), Off (cancels repeat function) Random: Folder Random (plays all tracks of the current folder, then the tracks of the next folder in random), All Random (plays all tracks of the current disc at random), Off (cancels random function) Disc Resume: If you change the source, playback also stops (without ejecting the disc). Next time you select CD for the playback source, the disc will start from where it has been stopped previously. Off Insert/Eject: A CD disc can be inserted or ejected with the power off. When a disc is inserted with the power off, the unit will automatically power up and begin playback. Disc Protection: If the ejected disc is not removed within 15 seconds, the disc is automatically inserted again into the loading slot to protect it from dust. The source will change to CD, and the disc will begin playback, even if you have another source selected at the time. Mounting: For proper disc playback you must install the unit within 30-degrees of horizontal. USB/iPod/Aux Connectivity USB Port: The JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79 features a front panel USB 2.0 type-A port behind a sliding cover for connection of a USB mass-storage class device. The USB port enables audio playback and control of MP3 (8-320 kbps)/WMA (8-192 kbps) audio files stored on a portable USB mass-storage class device formatted in FAT 12/16/32. The KD-AHD79 can recognize up to 255 folders (255 files per folder) and 65,025 total files.

Really nice head unit with a ton of great features. I like that you can switch the head unit to iPod/iPhone mode, I wish other companies would start doing the same. Pros: Good sound quality, features and specs for its price range. Cons: The display is impossible to read during the day in my truck, no matter what color I use. My windows are tinted dark and I've never had this problem with any other head units. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 99 VW Jetta III (Mexico Made) Written By DerekM, Austin Texas on Thursday, December 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had purchased a really simplistic receiver after I had my Jetta broken into, and my Sony receiver stolen. BTW, I never thought those little tabs ion the housing that are supposed to keep it theft free would ever really do the job. My bad... They broke my window because my alarm was on, and did so much damage that my insurance company had to replace the whole dashboard, vents, etc. I still have the receiver, as I think they got so pissed, they took the faceplate to prove a point. Anyhoo, I love this receiver. Talk about a huge sound difference, and I pick to 16 HD stations here in Austin, and even a few out of San Antonio on a cloudy day. I loved the sound so much, I decided to upgrade my speakers. Pros: Sound quality, reception, and love the color aspect. Crutchfield rocks... I received this receiver, and didn't install for a few days. After installation last weekend, I took a road trip and the faceplate kept popping out. I realized that the tab to hold the faceplate in had broken in transit. I sent them an e-mail via the website requesting a RMA, and by noon Monday, they had sent out a replacement. I can't say enough about the customer service. Cons: The only con that I have found is that if you use auto tune to tune in stations, the receiver doesn't pick them all up. This is especially noticed if you have one station putting out multiple channels. Was this review helpful?

Simply amazing! Not just because I replaced the factory 8-track player in my 77 Vette but because the head provides great ease of use even with the included remote which comes in hands since I have it mounted behind me. I was so impressed with this unit I bought a second for my 90 Mustang. Pros: Remote! USB port handy in the front.

Works better than my AHD69 which is in my SUV. This 79 is in my wifes SUV and I wanted to take it from her. Works great, install kit is awesome. Called tech support twice to verify what I was seeing and they were awesome and fast as always. Pros: Tech Support, the radio functinality is simliar to my older model and I will not but my radios from anyone else. This radio makes the 1997 stock speakers sound good again. Cons: none so far Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Love it Written By dss, Phoenix, AZ on Wednesday, December 05, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Love it, has all the things my old Sony Xplod was missing, Plays MP3's, has HD Radio a USB/IPod port, input port on the front and back, amp and subwoofer connections. Bought it on sale, almost $80 off what it was when I put it in my wish list! I've not seen another receiver that has all the features the JVC Arsenal KD-AHD79. The only other radio I'd seen with HD Radio built in and not requiring an adaptor was a Dual which I'd never heard of before.. Sounds great on my Polk speakers, better than the Sony did. I had it easier to install in my 2003 F150 because it was replacing the Sony most of the work was done. I soldered and heat shrinked the connections on the harness. Hardest part was removing the sleeve for the Sony.. Once I got the new sleeve in, the JVC just plugged in. The sleeve didn't fit as tight as the Sony, tabs were not quite in the right places to grab the adaptor, that was my only complaint with installing it. The menu to sent it up wasn't that bad if you read the directions, took me maybe 5 minutes of playing with it to get it set up the way I wanted. But I'm good at that sort of thing. Pros: Built in HD Radio, USB/ IPod compatible. I don't have an IPod so I can not comment on the control interface. Cons: Only thing I can think of is it doesn't have blue tooth built in and requires an adaptor which uses the input on the back of the radio. Was this review helpful?

B., Pittsburgh, PA on Tuesday, November 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I Love my new HD Radio! The only complaint I have is it is very difficult to set up everything on it. The directions are HORRIBLE! It seems like they assume you have done this type of installation before and they don't have text explaining what the limited illustrations represent and they leave out some steps! I had my cousin help me and he is no dummy and even he feels the same way about it. I am just using it as is until I get the patience to go back and try to figure it out! I however have been nothing but Happy with the service Crutchfield provided! Pros: Sounds great with my factory speakers. The price was very reasonable. The look of the stereo is very nice. It looks like it was factory installaled. Cons: It is very frustrating to set up all the features on it. The directions are HORRIBLE! Was this review helpful?

Written By Jon, Apple valley ca on Thursday, October 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Sound quality is good, looks great, 5v pre outs really make your amp shine. Parametric eq is more than enough to tailor the sound to your liking. Feels well made, nice finish.

Written By Mike, Williamsburg, VA on Thursday, October 04, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Shockingly easy installation!! A PAIR OF WIRE STRIPPERS WAS THE ONLY TOOL I NEEDED FROM MY TOOLBOX. It took longer to program the stations than to install the radio. 15 minutes.....Spent 5 minutes with the support guy before I started. Really, less than 30 minutes to wire, remove, install, play. Catalog CHAT function was helpful during selection. Pros: Great sound, Ease of use. I enjoy the digital stations. Cons: Display not bright enough. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The sound that emerges from my pickups original 13 yr old speakers puts a grin on my face every time I power up the system. Many colors are washed out in even partly sunny days, meaning unpleasant color selections so you can read faceplate. Add in a $50.00 off the price as well as a very able tech support madkes this a sound investment without buyers remorse. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Brought our 10 year old Land Rover up to current technology, at least in the sound system area. Now we have iphone compatability, as well as USB. The HD Radio is a nice touch as well. The unit is connected with the Harmon Kardon factory amp, running off the head unit pre-amp outputs. Crutchfield's wiring harness was a real labor saver and well thought out. A Merta Axxess was added to retain steering wheel controls. Very happy with the end result. Pros: Nice unit with many features. The selectable face lighting allowed a nice match to the dash illumination - Unit blends well ! Cons: So many choices on the set-up menu. Takes a while to become familiar.

I was thoroughly impressed with this product. Originally, I was looking at the Sony CDX-GT700HD because I knew that I wanted a stereo receiver with built-in HD radio, and I have always been pleased with sony products. However, Crutchfield pointed out that this particular model would not work with my car's dash set-up, so I continued browsing. When I saw the JVC KD-AHD79, I was blown away by the deal that Crutchfield was offering. I love all of the features that this unit has to offer, but I just wish some company would make something compatible with Zune. Oh well... Pros: Tons of different display color options, easy to install (thanks to Crutchfield), great price, HD Radio, dual aux. inputs Cons: Not compatible with Zune (we can thank Steve Jobs for that) Was this review helpful?

Very nice improvement. Replaced a dead stock head unit in 1997 BMW M3. Well worth the price. Nice to be able to change the display to match the interior lighting. Installation was very easy with the included adapter. Remote control is kind of a waste of money. Sounds great through the existing Harman Kardon premium sound. Would be five stars if it was more inline with the existing layout of the car. A 2012 head unit in a 1997 car just doesn't go all that well. Nakamichi and the stock rebuilts are cost prohibitive.

Installed in 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. The head unit itself works great and has many useful features. It sounds pretty good, but as I retained the rest of the stock Nissan system ( amps and speakers ) it is hard to judge by itself. I did try two ways to install this unit: 1) Preamps directly out to the Nissan amplifiers, and 2) using the Scosche OEM amplifer integration kit wired to the speaker line outs. Both methods yielded acceptable results, but the the OEM amplifer integration kit yielded better gain so I went with that. Overall a very nice unit with many input and display costomization options. Pros: Customizable EQ, pre amp outs with sub woofer, relatively intuitive menus Cons: Menu access buttons are a little small. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

I purchased this unit recently, and have found it to be relatively good, especially for the price. It was relatively easy to set up, and took all of 5 minutes to figure out. Pros: relatively user friendly color changing can be flashy, or can be set to match dash lights. looks clean, almost OEM Cons: I cannot manage to make it stay in the dash. i used the supplied bracket, and while it fits into the bracket, the bracket has no visible method of staying in the dash. strange.

The radio is pretty cool. Installed in 97 Rav. Wife wanted something to charge & play her Iphone 4 with. I installed by self and so far the unit has been good. Being able to select your interior color is really cool -- especially for the wife as she notices that kind of stuff. Pros: Sound is good -- factory speakers need to go next I guess, but can tell a difference from the old factory stereo. Love that it plays & charges Iphone 4. Price was also quite nice! Cons: The only con so far is that the control nob is not necessarily to my liking, but it works fine, just don't care for the feel of it and the buttons to the left of it. Make no mistake though, they do function fine. Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Looks great, easy to use, sounds great. Written By Sean, Grants Pass, OR on Sunday, August 12, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The 5 volt preamp output makes for excellent sound quality. The variable display will match the interior of any vehicle. The device is very intuitive and easy to use. I'd say this deck is all around awesome. The variable colors for day and night are also a nice feature. Pros: Display looks great, and is easy to see unless the sun is directly on it (can't really avoid that one) It automatically switches to CD or USB when one is inserted Settings for HPF for main speakers and LPF for sub. There is a port specifically made for subwoofers, but make sure you wire the sub correctly or it will not work. Cons: So far I think this deck will hold up really well, but there is a lot of plastic on the face plate, which only time will tell if it is sturdy in construction or not. I haven't had it for very long so I really have nothing negative to say about it though. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Good sound, some functionality quirks Written By J, Bethlehem, PA on Friday, July 06, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I have had this unit for about a year, installed in my 2000 Maxima with original speakers. This unit puts out good sound which would probably sound better had I gotten new speakers as well. There are a couple annoyances I would like to get out there. 1) If I am listening to the radio and connect an ipod to the front USB it automatically changes source to the USB. Same with the CD player. I would like to see it continue to play the source it is on and not change until I change it. 2) I like buttons to set radio stations to because you can get right to a station at the press of a button. With this unit you must go through all of your set stations to get to the one you want. There are 18 presets to set, if I want to get to preset station #9 I have to press the button 9 times to get to it. 3) If I am on preset station #5, press button to search for next station, it looses the fact that I started searching from preset #5 so I then have to start back at preset station #1 to get back to #5.

I searched a bit for my needs, and the CF advisor helped me narrow it down. I wanted to spend at least 120 to get all the instll goodies included, so I ended up with this. Sounds great. Also the HD is way cool. I was in Chicago yesterday and was amazed at the amount of HD channels, some stations had 3 extra HD stations on the same station! Also love the USB, it is excellent. I just pop inn the USB and it automatically detects and quickly at that. Tomorrow my new Rockford Fosgate speakers will arrive from CF and after that I am sure I will be verey happy based on reviews (Rockford Fosgate Prime R1682). Great uinit and Crutchfield has the BEST customer service ever. Pros: All the colors, decent remote that is actually quite handy, great sound out of box, no external amp necessary for my listening needs. I am not 22 anymore!

Peroduct is as described. The only thing I found wrong, and it is not with the radio, Is the number of HD radio stations on the air. I went back and forth on this radio for the HD radio, or one that had a Bluetooth for phone interface and calling capabilities. If I had it to do over again, I might go with the Bluetooth. However, I do like the tag feature to capturing song info for later review and order through iPod and ITunes. So I guess I am still going back and forth. All said and done, I like the radio for the price and would recommend to a friend... Pros: HD radio, tag feature, ease of installation, and build quality. Cons: Not really any, but be aware....... Sound is not the greatest, but that is probably from replacing the radio and speakers in my car, and not including an amp. The low bass response is just not there. Just don't expect too much without investing in some upgrades to a factory system beyond the radio and speakers. I do plan to add a powered subwoofer for bass response, and not to rattle my license plate. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Overall, a great radio for the price. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an upgrade over the stock radios. I installed it in my 2008 Tacoma and with the Crutchfield housing kit and instructions, I was able to put it in no problem. This is the first time I have messed with any radio stuff too! Pros: Easy to use, Very cool look with the buttons and variable colors, Very easy to use with my iPod touch, Sound quality is fantastic, The volume goes way louder than I would ever care to go to Cons: The buttons are a little small and have a cheap plastic feel, but this is a very minor detail.

Overall it has a lot of nice settings for such a low priced unit, one of the lowest priced hd radio units and it works great, nice option for all the colors for display, great pre amp voltage Pros: Bit hard to tune each setting does for bass and tremble, probably to do with octaves and stuff I have not tried to learn yet, but there is a lot of frequency range option over the sony I used to have, hd radio sounds amazing and this unit nicely switches back and forth to analog as needed unlike others I have heard the crap about where you have to specifically turn on hd radio each time it goes out 5V pre amps for a cheap price, great port selection, nice volume protection for stock speakers Cons: Need a bit of time to tune everything but once thats done its all sailing from there, and dont expect to tune the settings while driving, the menu is a bit hard 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Great receiver at a value price! Written By Jay, Spring Hill, FL on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I replaced my aged Rockford Fosgate source unit with this JVC, slightly concerned that the quality wouldn't be as good. I was pleasantly surprised! I went with the KD-AHD79 after having great results with a KD-AHD69 in my fiance's car. Aesthetically, this is a great looking radio, and the variable color display is great. I thought not having preset buttons would be hard to get used to, but in all honesty, JVC made it very easy to navigate. FM reception is phenomenal, even with a short antenna. I like that you can turn off am radio and the rear auxiliary input, so when you are selecting a source, if you don't use them, they don't appear. Sound quality is great, and with 5 volt pre-amp outputs, there is clean powerful signal going to the amps. The equalizer has a decent amount of adjustment for a built in 3 band eq. It allows for the selection of the frequency that you want to adjust within the bass, mid, and treble selection. Overall, there is a lot of bang for the buck when it comes to this receiver, and after comparative shopping with the typical electronics retailers, Crutchfield is definitely the way to go! Pros: Easy to use, great build quality, packed full of features, and a great looking receiver. Cons: The remote is on the small side. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

First order from Crutchfield. Very pleased with the unit so far; I bought it after reading the comments here and b/c it was within my budget. I particularly like the ease of use and interface with my iPod Touch 4 Gen, where I have most of my music. I've tried playing "shorter" mixes using USB drives and again, the unit excels at recognizing the files and playing them right away. Same with MP3 CDs.

The preset equalization settings are a nice help when you don't want to fiddle with the levels if you change music genre. Pros: Variable Lighting setup. Sound quality. Great sound for the price.

Written By Malinka, Indian Head, MD on Saturday, March 24, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the JVC KD-AHD79 to replace the factory stereo in my 2004 Jeep Wrangler. I also replaced the front and soundbar speakers with Polks. The new system cranks lound and clear even over my noisy soft top. I'm hearing instruments in the music that I never heard before. The feature I like the best is the USB port. I bought a Sandisk 16G Cruzer Fit USB that is so tiny you can barely notice it's plugged in. It holds close to 280 CD's so I now have access to nearly my entire music library without having to maneuver CD's and cases while driving. I wasn't sure I'd like that feature, but now I'm so glad I have it! The variable color display gives you many options to choose from...or not. I keep it on colorflow so it scrolls through all the colors. Radio stations come in clear and setting the station presets was easy. This unit does not have individual preset buttons like other stereos, but it only requires pressing a button and scrolling to the preset you want. I researched many stereo reviews and chose this head unit based on the excellent reviews and the features it offered. Crutchfield service is excellent and provides detailed instructions to make installation easy. Pros: USB port, variable color display, HD radio, signal strength, remote, and excellent sound quality.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 4 out of 5 Great Sound and OK Menus Written By freeto, Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, February 28, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is an awesome stereo as far as pure sound quality is concerned. The color configuration is nice too. HD Radio reception is great. The menus leave something to be desired. You can go through presets by quick tapping the up/down arrows so that isn't a big problem. My problems are that you can't attach subwoofer settings to an EQ profile. So I can't have some presets to switch between for the subwoofer output. This means I have to constantly adjust the LPF, SW Level, and/or AMP Gain to suit the style of music I am playing. This is kind of dangerous since you have to go Menu (long press) > turn know to Audio > SW Level > press knob > adjust to proper level (press knob). In addition, the low pass filter cannot be turned off. You can pick from 55, 85, and 120, but you cannot disable it and rely on your amp's LPF. This bothers me because my subs have a response range of 34-300Hz, and I would like to not be limited at the high end of the sound spectrum arbitrarily. The bluetooth (using the separately purchased KS-BTA100 adapter) is the best I have ever used. It auto-connects to my android phone when I start the car if the phone has BT on, if not I can get it to connect with a button press. Voice dialing works as well. On the other hand, you cannot use the stereo's forward, back, and play/pause buttons with the BT device. You have to use those on the KS-BTA100 which seems kind of backwards to me. All in all it is a good unit. Pros: Color Control, simple design deters theft, nice power to speakers, HPF is very nice for keeping interior speakers from clipping at high volume when you have subs to handle the lows. Quality bluetooth with separate adapter. Cons: Hard to read in sunlight, lack of bluetooth integration when using accessory 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Patterson seniors Joey Howard (140 pounds), Joseph Ruelas (147) and Adam Melo (154) piled on three straight pins, giving the Tigers an 18-0 lead out of the gate and set off the victory.
The onslaught was not just devastating for Pacheco; it was fast, with each pin recorded in the first round.
"You have to go out doing your best, and put up points for your team," said Ruelas, a first-year wrestler. "I feel like many of us wrestled our best matches (against Pacheco.) We wanted to go out with a win at home, giving it our all."
Those opening wins paved the way for a continued Patterson assault.
The Tigers (2-4 Western Athletic Conference) won five matches by pin, one by technical fall, one by major decision, one by decision and one by forfeit, while Pacheco won two by decision and two by forfeit. Both teams forfeited the 285-pound weight class.
"We've had a season of ups and downs," said Patterson coach Lee Scoles. "But you've got to commend these kids for not giving in. It was satisfying to see them come away with a win."
In other wins, Patterson junior Jordan Canseco (122) beat Aaron Jaime on an 8-5 decision; sophomore Daniel Cota (128) topped Martin Velasquez on a 14-1 major decision; junior Manuel Cruz (134) pinned Maria Quinoz in 3 minutes, 23 seconds; sophomore Eloa Chadwick (162) beat Ethan DeMarchi on a 16-0 technical fall; and sophomore Francisco Plascencia pinned Nathan Hernandez in 5:03.
"We were ready to go tonight," Melo said. "We were ready to step onto the mat and defeat whoever was in front of us."
The season continues at 9 a.m. Feb. 9 as Patterson travels to Los Banos High for the WAC Tournament.
Junior varsity
Patterson's JV wrestlers claimed a 42-39 win over visiting Pacheco and finished first in the final WAC standings, buoyed by a dramatic performance Jan. 23 from 134-pound sophomore Dylan Christiansen.
Trailing 39-36 entering the final match of the dual meet, the Tigers (6-0 WAC) sent Christiansen to the mats to wrestle Pacheco grappler Adrian Villalobos. The match ended with Christiansen's pin in 1:48.
"I was a little nervous with so much at stake, but I had a lot of confidence," Christiansen said. "It was an unpredictable situation for me to be in, but I kept my mind straight and did my best for my team."
The Tigers won six matches by pin and one by forfeit, while Pacheco won six by pin and one by decision.
In other Patterson wins, Jose Jaramillo (115) pinned Analisa Campy in 3:26, Tony Halcon (122) pinned Aaron Sarwari in 1:15, Zeke Miranda pinned Myranda Villasquez in 1:24, Daniel Linares pinned Colton Webster in 1:34 and Armando Saucedo pinned his opponent in 36 seconds.

Jockey Quotes
MIKE SMITH, MADEO, Winner "He's got a really, really good turn of foot. I wanted to stay right there when they accelerated because they were going pretty easily and I knew they were going to finish. He's got such a great little turn of foot…he's so agile. When I called on him he jumped on it. He wanted to hang just a little, but I let him know to go on by and he did. Earlier in his career he was just green at times and he kind of caused some of the things that happened to him. One time he'd pull, the next time he wouldn't. He's finally figuring things out."
BRICE BLANC, STORM MILITARY, Second "We had a perfect trip. It kind of set up that way on paper. He relaxed nice and finished up good. He ran his guts out. He hadn't run since Del Mar and Bobby (Frankel) did a great job just getting him that close."
Trainer Quotes
JOHN SHIRREFFS, MADEO, Winner: "He looked good on the backside, very comfortable. He looked like he was in good position, he just needed to finish. We wanted him closer (to the lead), he was way back in the Arcadia (Handicap). We can't take him anywhere, the son of a gun. He doesn't like anything. You try to do something with him and he just walks over the top of them. Unless he's home he is unhappy. But he is maturing now, he's maturing a lot. He's developing a style too. He's repeating his performances and developing a running style. He's very versatile."

I grew up healthy on SAD foods. Then at 20 I inherited a neuromuscular disorder that caused 20 bowel movements/day. I spent the next 5 years ill and got a colostomy 3 months ago that solved the problem. While sick I switched to the paleo diet and had excellent health, but no change in the condition.
I typically eat two meals/day of quality meat with a large side of vegetables and low GI fruits. I snack on fruit, nuts, and seeds. In one week on paleo I lost 5 lbs of fat, gained 5 lbs of muscle, and my energy level doubled. Since then my weight has been stable and my energy & cognitive functions have never been better. I can go 2 days without food and remain alert and focused. The downside is that I tend to get constipated and have frequent/acidic urine from being in ketosis.
On both SAD & paleo I've had mostly excellent health- rarely sick, no allergies and no meds. However, I've always had trouble sleeping. While the paleo results are impressive, I wonder if I can get better results on vegan. I'd like to try it for 6 months, but have two concerns.
1. Do you have any issues with cognitive function? I'm the lead engineer of a small company and really need top mental performance. The high protein & 1:1 omega-3/6 fat consumption in paleo has been incredible for cognition. But I can't think well on a low protein/fat breakfast. Do you guys eat a lot of nuts and seeds for the fat/protein? Do you find that you simply need less?
2. Paleo foods are calorie-dense so you don't need large amounts. I love the idea of being able to enjoy plates of food everyday, but am concerned about the colostomy. Plant foods tend to bulk stools, and in conjunction with higher quantities of food, I'm worried about having to change the ostomy bag every 3 hrs. I usually change it 2x/day, and insurance only provides 3 bags/day. I apologize if this is TMI, but its a real concern.
All comments welcome. Thanks a lot for your time.
Great questions. There are lots of plans that can lead to weight loss, but most of them do not lower the risks for chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. The low-fat vegan diet has shown to improve health on all fronts, including getting to an ideal weight.
Interestingly, fat intake is positively associated with cognitive decline. So if that's a concern (as it should be for all of us), you would do well to avoid a "Paleo"-like diet with its excessive amounts of fat, especially saturated fat. You can read more here: http://www.pcrm.org/health/reports/dietary-guidelines-for-alzheimers-prevention.
You would be the best judge to see how it makes you feel. I highly recommend giving it a shot for just three weeks (thus the 21-day program). We're here to support you through and to answer any questions.
Susan Levin, MS, RDPCRM Director of Nutrition Education
I agree, the 21-day trial would be ideal. I'll continue eating paleo for the next few weeks while I read a few vegan books. Then I'll get a blood test, go vegan for 21 days, and get a 2nd blood test. I'll compare fasting glucose, vitamins, triglycerides, etc. I'll also qualitatively compare mood and productivity. Then I'll post results and determine which diet is more optimal for me long-term. Thanks for being here as a resource. I'll certainly consult you if I have any questions.
I will be starting a Whole Food Plant-Based-Diet - Study on 9/7/2013. It's a 60 day study. Pre-diet testing. I'll have an exam, blood work, weight, height. And check for inflammatory disease. At the end of the 60 days, the test will be repeated. I love fruits and veggies. Whole grains. But I must admit, it's going to be a real challenge. I certainly don't want to fail.
Do let us know how your numbers change!
I will update at the end.
I adopted Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian diet 7 days ago. Cognition & energy are comparable to paleo, and its easy to eat to satiety. The only problem is that the fiber/bulk cause the colostomy to work way too much. I'm constantly having to manage it and my intestines feel very sore. And I'm only eating 2/3 of the recommended portions.
Daily menu:1. breakfast- 1 cup berries, 1 peach2. lunch- 2/3 cup beans w/ veggies3. dinner- large salad w/ nuts/seeds
I like this diet and was hoping to ultimately try raw vegan. But the colostomy just isn't up to it. I can't switch to a low-residue version because raw plant foods are naturally high-residue.
Would very much like to hear from experienced vegans on this issue. Thanks.
You will have to see which foods you can handle and which you cannot. You may have to choose smaller portions and lower residue foods. A raw vegan diet would be tough. However, a healthful vegan diet would be totally doable.
Legumes and raw plant foods all seem to have the same effect. I'm going to try steaming the salad greens and lightly blending the beans for easier digestion.
Nuts and seeds are particularly hard to digest, because they're abrasive. I'm going to replace nuts with 2 tablespoons of grape seed oil for linolenic acid (essential O6). I'll also replace chia seeds (ALA, essential O3) with an algal DHA supplement.
That should maintain adequate protein/fat with easier digestion. Blending/steaming should also allow more caloric intake. I'm a little underweight.

Hi Johnny,
It's great that you're trying a plant-based diet. Perhaps your situation is improved now, but...
When you say "too much", how often are you talking about? I have an ileostomy and even with a large amount of plant-based foods, I empty my pouch on average 5-7 times a day, which is normal. I would expect a colostomy pouch to be empties less than that per day.
I'm quite heavy on legumes, often consuming two cans a day + a large salad as part of my dinner.
I have been writing about my experiences on my blog.

UM-Dearborn's College of Business lends support to Inforum entrepreneurial programming
August 10, 2011
DEARBORN, MICH. / Aug. 10, 2011---Inforum Center for Leadership (ICL), the research and education arm of Inforum, Michigans leading network for professional women, was awarded $700,000 from the Michigan Economic Development Corps (MEDC) Michigan 21st Century Jobs Fund.
The funding will support the implementation of two programs focused on high-growth women entrepreneurs: ACTiVATE®, a technology commercialization curriculum, and Astia, a global network of mentors and investors.
The University of Michigan-Dearborn is a lead partner supporting the implementation of this entrepreneurial programming, providing not only access to the University assets but also the guidance and leadership of Kim Schatzel, dean of the College of Business.
We are honored to partner with Inforum on this important initiative to help educate and enhance the skills of Michigan residents needed to transform Michigans economy, said Schatzel. UM-Dearborn has developed a curriculum for our students that is not only rooted in the fundamentals of business but embraces and teaches the importance of creativity and entrepreneurship that is necessary to synthesize solutions, identify opportunities, and laterally think. Our Colleges philosophy will complement the goals and objectives of the MEDC and Inforum.
As Michigans economy continues to transform, were going to need all hands on deck said Terry Barclay, president and CEO of Inforum and Inforum Center for Leadership. Broad based research shows that programs like these achieve more than just increasing the representation of women leaders in high-growth start-ups. They actually unlock significant potential to create economic wealth. Women are increasingly achieving academic success. As they demonstrate greater levels of entrepreneurial passion, they are becoming one of the fastest-growing demographics starting and leading small businesses. ACTiVATE® and Astia harness the intellectual capital of these women grow beyond microenterprise and lifestyle businesses. We are delighted to bring both these programs together for the first time in Michigan.
Leading ICLs new entrepreneurship initiative will be Kapila Viges, who has been named executive director for entrepreneurial strategies.
Both ACTiVATE and Astia have demonstrated track records, Viges said. ACTiVATE participants secure an average of $500,000 in initial seed capital and 60 percent of Astias portfolio receives funding within one year of participating in an Astia Investor Forum. As we integrate these programs into Michigans already strong base of entrepreneurial support infrastructure, we are excited to create local, state, national and global linkages.
ICL is now recruiting for both programs. Astias next on-ramp event will be held Oct. 10-15 in Silicon Valley and ICL is actively recruiting Michigan women entrepreneurs to apply. ACTiVATE will begin local sessions in January 2012. Candidates interested in either program should contact Viges at email@example.com.

So you wanna be a Giant?
Then you need to earn points. And I'm giving you, YES, YOU!, the opportunity to earn points right now!
For those who do not know, I am the official scorekeeper of the GS Giant. As such, I have the ability to dole out BS points. What are BS points, you ask? Just what you think they are! So, here is the first official chance to start racking them up.
Get a head start on earning points by signing up or logging in to Face Book and become a friend of the GS Giant. Post your name and where you're from on Facebook to automatically earn 2 points. Why is FaceBook important? Because it's the largest social media network on the planet (unverified) and we will use this to communicate shout-out challenges throughout the course of the event.
Yeah...now you're thinking...it's just 2 points. But 2 points could mean the difference between winning a motorcycle and gear, or not. So, go there now and tell us why you should be the next GS Giant!
here's the GS Giant's Facebook page.
Beer works also.
Is Murienville a meeting place to begin all this, July17? Whats the July10 date for starting? Guess i should go read more. I think(guessing) July10 is a point opening date for all us anywhere in the USA starting our rides? I've really need to read more, so forgive me, if I have yet found the proper GS site. I'm looking Randy
Yes, you have it right.... July 10 is when you can start scoring points by riding adventure detours as you head to the rally.
Here is the article on-line that was in the May edition of the BMW ON.
All the info will be in your scorebook that you receive when you register for the event.
psst: you owe me an adventure ride description through Arkansas!
Oark, Arkansas and the oldest continuosly open market/grill in the state, since the Civil War, wow I can give only directions, no GPS coordinates, so sorry. I rode this two years ago and find it great Americana indeed, with some dirt byways added. My directiuon is West to East and North from Oark..Ozark National forest; From Fayetteville,Ark., State Hwy16 approx 30miles to the Hwy23 South cutoff towards Cass,Ark..Steep twisty terrain paved roads here with 15mph curves and did I say steep ridgerunner stuff. At Cass, a left turn on the only road out of Cass to Oark, Ark. and a wonderful single lane paved route mostly under a tree canopy covered byway, with river alongside. Reminded me of the movie "Deliverance", just like it and maybe where they filmed it? A single gas pump at the Oark General Store is regular gas and the oldest market as mentioned above in Arkansas since the Civil War days. A grill cook will cook you up and fair Ozark treat in short order and a great relax, front porch style hillbilly event indeed, is upon your senses including friendly dog. Was mine and I grew up in this kind of place in Virginia. Well, from Oark, you have choices, mostly dirt and I rode the Northbound exit(no route #, just dirt), only one out of town by the firetruck garage and rode North to Hwy16 again. Right onto hwy16 and onward to Hwy7, just past Deer,Arkanasas. The little burb names in these woods are quite simple and Ozark like. The mountains are a photo op around every ridge and creek. So much beauty in one region I had always wanted to explore and did. The only dirt section I rode was the Oark exit to Hwy16 and it was approx a 15 mile easy ride and rain would make it much more interesting, but still moderate to easy. I continued on to Mountain Home,Ark and beyond for a great days riding I had anticipated. So many more options exit in and around the Ozark National Forest and I had indeed found a great route through there, with some locals help. This is my best effort to my journey through there, Ian and if you can use it, please do. Randy PS;Exits 35 thru 47 off of the Interstate 40 will put you Northwards to Oark in short order also, so those traveling the big roads can take an easy detour for a couple hours into some great Americana. Happy Trails, Randy
Well I got all signed up for the Gypsy Tour a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to some time off, great riding, and meeting some new friends. Time to start going through the camping gear check list. Is there an info pack that will be sent out, i.e scorebook ect, or will more detailed info be on the forum?
H iRoy,
We are still working on the score book as well as some final details. Please also register on our Facebook page. Both the forum and FB will be updated as needed.
Just did all my registering for the PA Rally, GS Gypsy Tour, etc from way far out here in Cal., so looking forward again to some great miles ahead very soon now. Scorebook? Whats next? I'm a Facebook rookie, so how's all that work. Guess I had better get aquainted, or do I have to? See ya'll soon enough, I'm sure Randy"Polarbear"
Be sure to "like" the Giant on Facebook for last-minute details.
