Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Ken Nail MirrorLink for a new level of integration with select smartphones JVC's KW-NSX600 DVD receiver works with the MirrorLink system to provide control over an ever-growing list of smartphones, including the popular Samsung Galaxy S III and Nokia Symbian models. With MirrorLink, you'll enjoy control over your music, phone contacts, and select apps through this JVC's bright, 6.1" touchscreen display, with easy-to-read graphics that allow you to make your menu choices with a quick glance. What will I need for MirrorLink? You'll need a compatible receiver like the KW-NSX600, a compatible smartphone, and an app that works with MirrorLink. The system works like this: Download the app (prices vary) to your compatible phone. This lets the phone enter "car mode," which provides a simplified graphical interface that's ideal for use in the car, as it's easy to see at a glance, and much easier to use. Connect your phone to the receiver using the receiver's USB input and your phone's USB cable. Launch the app on your phone, and tap the MirrorLink icon in the receiver's source menu. The optimized car mode menu will appear on your receiver's screen. Versatile iPhone® app control You've got some pretty cool options for using an iPhone with the KW-NSX600, once you're connected with JVC's KS-U30 cable. You can view and control a wide variety of apps on the receiver's screen. Here's some of what you can tap into: Basic control of audio apps like Tunein Radio Sound tuning with JVC's SonicMax Pro app Web Reader text-to-speech app for social media and web pages Traffic info from Inrix, Cobra iRadar, and other driving apps Powerful navigation with Sygic or the MotionX-GPS Drive app (subscription required) — you'll be able to see maps and live traffic reports on the receiver's screen. You'll still need to use your iPhone with some apps, so consider adding an iPhone mount, for easy use. The JVC KW-NSX600's 6.1" display makes control easy. And the rest of your media? The KW-NSX600 also offers DVD, CD, and USB playback, including support for MP3, WMA, and WAV files. And you can enjoy video content on the screen when you're parked, or send video to rear seat screens when you're taking long road trips with the family. Once you plug your iPod or iPhone into the USB input, you can tap your way through all your tunes and playlists on this JVC's responsive touchscreen. If you're not an iPod user, you can load up a USB drive or a recordable disc with digital files — it's easy to fit hundreds of tracks on either one, and you can still dive in using the touchscreen. JVC also makes it easy for you to take your Pandora® Internet radio stations on the road. Just plug in your iPhone and you'll have touchscreen control over Pandora right in your dash. If you own an Android™ device, you can use your Bluetooth® link to listen to Pandora. Bluetooth safety and convenience This receiver lets you enjoy the safety and convenience of hands-free calling with almost any Bluetooth phone. And you can stream audio from your device to the receiver as well, for a wireless, tangle-free connection whenever you get in the car. Want to keep your steering wheel controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) 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. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value For the price its a decent head unit. Good output power and a bunch of cool features. However the app function doesn't work well and the display is very lack luster. Pros: Good RMS output. Good EQ controls. Bluetooth works well. Easy to Use. Price Cons: App mode doesn't not work well with the Galaxy line of phones (lack of apps compatible with Mirrorlink). The display is very lack lust and plain. Limited display customization as well Was this review helpful? Yes No not a bad radio for the money Written By chris, elsmere ky on Saturday, April 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great radio. Only downside is the EQ. Im using two rear 7" monitors that run off of this radio. Granted you can have dual zone so movie can play in the back while u listen to something different on the radio.However your options are limited. Wish they could change thay Pros: Nice screen Cons: Dual zone needs more options Was this review helpful?

Yes No Awesome! Written By FatSteve001, Athens, TN on Monday, April 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value The mirror link and MHL features are virtually unusable and the tuner is unreasonably complicated at first. Everything else about this unit is great! Even with the MHL/mirror link issues, this unit does everything I want it to do and more. Once you get familiar with the interface, it's great! The sound quality on the microphone and calls seems to be great on both sides. The install was simple thanks to Crutchfield's instructions and included wiring harnesses. I am completely happy with this purchase. Pros: Lots of features. Great call quality. Looks great in my truck. More features than I knew I wanted! Cons: MHL and MirrorLink are useless for me. Radio tuner is complicated at first. Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This a a great radio that I bought mainly because of MirrorLink. I was disappointed that the phone app keeps crashing so I can't even use this feature. Pros: Full of features touch screen Cons: Smartphone app for MirrorLink constantly crashes. Feature not usable.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This unit was easy to install and has a Great color picture (movies). Plenty of basic and advanced adjustments through the EQ. Pros: Its very nice Cons: None Was this review helpful? Yes No Love it!!! Written By SirVesa, Houston, TX on Monday, March 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Easy to install and just about as full-featured as you can get in this price-point. The Pioneer has a better GUI in my opinion, but they don't have nearly as many features. Pros: MHL (MirrorLink stinks) Shows song and artist info streaming Bluetooth from my Android RDS song info is a little crowded but you have the option of expanding it out so you can see the full song/artist Cons: GUI is very plain compared to Pioneer and is non-animated. Some folks won't care; others like the extra flash. Also, too bad they don't have a remote: those are really nice for tailgating. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

This radio's "Mirrorlink" functionality should have been tested fully before its release to the consumer. Other than that it does what it says. Pros: Its a great radio for Ipod/IPhone lovers. Overall GUI looks nicer than others at this price range. Bluetooth works great. Cons: Mirror link doesn't work with my Samsung S3 & S4,sucks cause that's why I bought it. The special Iphone cable should have been included. Does not play AAC/M4p through USB or CD/DVD. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Awesome Was this review helpful? Yes No You're Never Too Old To Learn Written By Magic26, Gainesville, Va on Monday, March 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value My 2007 plain-vanilla Camry needed to be more user friendly with hands free calling, navigation and music. And at 67 years of age I thought, you're never too old to do it yourself. Crutchfield was great to work with from shopping to purchase, install and problem solving. When I phoned their assistance folks Mark got me to the coolest link where he compared products remotely on PC that were compatible to what I wanted, my GS3 phone and my Camry. The JVC NSX600 looked like the perfect match with MirrorLINK. The product was AT MY DOOR 9AM THE NEXT MORNING. The installation, Camry specific dashboard trim and wire harness were included free and fit perfectly. From other customer reviews I was able to determine that the Samsung store MirrorLINK App was a piece-O-xxxx. The customer reviews lead me right to the place to download the Full Mirror App which you must have. I added the 5-11 pin connector as also recommended for MHL operation by the customer reviews, and it works great. Now if I can just remember how to operate it! Pros: Great customer support. Addition of customer reviews are very informative and helpful. Delivery was astounding. Cons: Interoperability between phones and software can cause problems. Do your homework on the software interface issues that can significantly degrade your user satisfaction. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Not iPhone 5 friendly Written By Frank, Sacramento, CA on Saturday, March 01, 2014 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Overall this deck is pretty nice...good sound, built well, responsive screen, loads fairly quickly (although blue tooth is a little slow), lot's of configuration options, etc., but this deck is not iPhone 5 (or later) friendly. What JVC fails to explicitly state is that if you have a iPhone 5 or later you will not be able to stream video from your phone even with the additional KS-U30 cable (purchased separately). By video I mean videos, pictures and APP's!! So all of those JVC friendly apps like GPS, Camera, Tuneln, etc DON'T WORK. Just got off the phone with a JVC tech who confirmed this, since I could not get any of these apps to work on my brand new stereo. Also Mirrorlink & MHL won't work with the iPhone either. Mirrorlink is for Nokia & Andriod phones only. MHL is supposed to be for all other smartphones and I think it does work with iPhone 4S and older. Wish I would have known all of this prior to purchasing. So if you have an iPhone 5 or newer all you can do with this stereo is watch a DVD (only when you hook up the parking brake cable), make a phone call, or listen to music & Pandora. That's it. Pros: -lot's of features (when applicable) -good sound -built well -responsive screen -boot up speed is fairly good -lots of customizations & very configurable Cons: -Not iPhone 5 friendly (no video or onscreen ability rendering apps like GPS useless) -Bluetooth is glitchy upon startup. (req. you to select ipod first then bluetooth every time car is shut off) 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I love this jvc reciever sounds great when using the bluetooth. Love the ease of use and the great price through Crutchfield. Pros: Price, ease of use, sound through bluetooth. Cons: Drivelink is just ok. Need to be able to download the full drivelink. I don't know if it's a jvc problem or Samsung. Sound quality is not as good through drivelink. Was this review helpful? Yes No JVC KW-NSX600 Written By Ray, Albany, NY on Sunday, February 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value While is not compatible with my note 3 this product still delivers a good bang for the buck. MHL feature does work with the Note 3. just wished the pandora app would work separate with the MHL screen. Was this review helpful? Yes No Awesome Head Unit! Written By Tramsey, Madison, WI on Sunday, February 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great unit! Simple install, just ground out the parking brake sensor on the post in the back of the unit to run DVD or video while driving. Great service and shipping. I Bluetooth spotify from my iPhone 5 works with ease! Pros: Large screen, easy install, comes with all you need, fairly easy UI after you get the hang of it. Unit still works in -20 degree weather! Cons: Bright screen! Tried to play with it a little to lower the brightness but just doesn't have much range. Also, the iPhone 5 converter would be crucial! Every time id charge my phone from the USB it tries to switch to that player rather than BT. I'd love to display my iPhone screen on the unit...someday! Please release that converter ASAP!

Yes No MHL compatibility Written By Xavier, San Diego, CA on Sunday, January 05, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Perfect, I was looking for a radio with GPS without having to pay an arm and a leg. This radio doesn't have GPS but has MHL wish allows me to mirror my android phone GPS into my stereo. You can pretty much see anything that displays on your phone. Pros: MHL, DVD player, and lots of other fucntions like rear camera, preamp for subwoofer and etc. Cons: In order use MHL you need to buy and 5 to 11 pin converter tip for newer phones like Galaxy S3 and above. I had to buy a MHL adapter since I couldn't find the tip in my local electronic store. It cost and extra 20 dollars, well worth of it! 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No Great Samsung S3 integration Written By Anonymous, Puerto Rico on Friday, December 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Unit mirrors phone completely and fluidly.For the best experience install the Drivelink full mirror app available on the web, not the one on the play store. Also using the S3 mhl 5 to 11 pin adapter, will produce HD video on the head unit screen completely lag free. Pros: Total lag free phone mirroring with android. Cons: Instructions are not very detailed, had to go online to forums for answers Was this review helpful? Yes No MirrorLink FAIL Written By Troy, Atl, GA on Wednesday, December 18, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value MirrorLink is LAME! The selling point is the compatibility with a Samsung GS3. Research reviews of the "Samsung MirrorLink App" and you'll get the idea. If you want the unit to "mirror" your device, you must purchase a seperate adapter, and then you CAN NOT CONTROL THE DEVICE on the JVC screen. When you actually use the MirrorLink App, you have VERY LIMITED control of only three on screen functions. "Music", which is only whatever digital music is on your device (NOT Pandora, Receiver, CD, XM etc), "Phone", BIG DEAL, and "Navigation", which will not adapt to any other setting for maps, other than its default. Pros: It works as a DVD player and monitor for a backup camera. Cons: Advertised as a must have for use with a Samsung Galaxy S3. NOT. MirrorLink is barely functional and frankly, it's stupid! 1 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Plenty options Written By datastar, Atlanta on Thursday, December 12, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I installed in my daughter's Corolla and she loves it. BT works well for streaming audio and hands free phone calls. The DVD is a bonus because she has a ton of music.; the picture quality is not bad either. MirrorLink work great when connected to my Galaxy S3 AND using the modified version of DriveLink App on the phone. The normal version is limited but you can get the mod version from XDA-Developers. I can watch Netflix, View security Cams, Email, YouTube and display any app on the phone to include Google Maps & other nav apps.It charges my GS3 via USB. I have not tried to play music while using nav yet.. The iPhone App Control works well with the 4S using the JVC KS U30 cable. I can navigate and play Pandora. Only the apps listed on JVC site worked. The menu was difficult to manage and took time to learn. I had to try 3 different Flash Drives before found one that the HU would read from. It was an old one and it would not update until I removed all the other files from the Flash Drive. Worth the money! Pros: Bluetooth works well for hands free phone use (Most important feature b/c our daughter could not use the phone while driving) Cons: Doesn't display ANY video from iPhone 5S b/c the JVC KS U30 cable is analog only and the Lightening port on the 5S is digital only, The adapted DO NOT convert the signal from digital to analog so tou can only get audio using the iPhone 5S. 1 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Yes No solid choice Written By Al, cortlandt manor, NY on Friday, November 08, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I chose the JVC head unit as an impulse buy while on the Crutchfield web site. The sale price seemed great and it was packed with features. Not to mention Crutchfiled makes buying and installing a car stereo easier than anyone else around. Over all I'm very pleased with my purchase. I was a little disappointed in the iphone integration being that it advertises "made for ipod / iphone" but not enough to replace the unit or slag it too much. I think it would have better integration with an android galaxy phone which utilizes the mirror link technology. The bluetooth works great, so I can stream slacker while driving. My only fault with the unit would be the FM reception seems a bit weak. My factory installed stereo pulled in stations much better than this unit, but when you have pandora or slacker available... its not a major issue. Pros: versatility Cons: both the FM station reception, and some of the screen layouts would be in the con list. Was this review helpful? Yes No Excellent Product and Functionality Written By John Z., Mt. Juliet, TN on Monday, November 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Overall, this is an excellent piece. The installation is easy with easy-to-follow instructions that came with the product. Sound quality and effects are much better that the factory installed. The Bluetooth phone is easy to pair as well. My wife loves it. Pros: Lots of functions, easy to use, touch screen responds well. Cons: Has a GPS antenna slot, but the manufacturer said that the antenna is not released yet. Pandora and GPS functionality eat up large volume of data. Was this review helpful? Yes No Good functionality, awkward Mirrorlink, decent sound Written By Dan, Wyckoff, NJ on Thursday, October 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value The NSX600 has some nice attributes for a touch screen head unit. It has a fast interface, the touch screen is responsive, and I can see it in sunlight. I like having hard buttons, especially the volume control knob. Installation is no different than any other double din unit. I did buy it for Mirrorlink, which leaves a lot to be desired. Mirrorlink is pretty half baked, I run a Samsung Galaxy S4 with the correct package, and while it does mirror the screen, its all Nannyware, and it only allows Navigation, phone and the worlds worst music player. As far as the head unit itself, its pretty smooth operating, but pretty limited in flexibility. Like most units these days, it has changeable colors and fonts, but its pretty limited in what you can change it too. My biggest gripes are with the audio controls. The equalizer is pretty awful, and uses the vintage JVC/Kenwood 3 band ganged equalizer, with the silly Q control. Its pretty hard to get the unit to sound good consistently (I run several outboard amps and a sub), as the software moves frequency bands together, which is just sub optimal. Second major issue is with Bluetooth call quality. No one can hear me, despite trying several different microphones. No matter what I do, people can't hear me. Its a common complaint with BT, but this is the worst so far. Final note is that there doesn't appear to be an IR remote capability, which would be helpful, but not terrible. All in all, a decent unit, but not ideal Pros: Fast GUI, clean interface, Mirrorlink actually works for certain things, bright screen, hard volume control button Cons: Sub optimal audio controls and equalizer, Mirrorlink is very limited, bluetooth phone audio quality is awful 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great value Written By Rob M, Parkesburg, PA on Sunday, October 20, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Let me start off by saying that for the discounted price I payed that this is a great unit. Operating System As far as the interface goes, while it's not the slickest looking operating system, it is very snappy (much more so than my old Pioneer head unit). Display The screen is nice and bright, even in the sun. The resolution is acceptable but in today's day and age you would think they would up the resolution to at least 720p. Features It has most of the standard features of a decent radio, however the reason I purchased this unit was for the Mirror Link feature. Now, for android users the compatibility list says it is not compatible with my Galaxy S4 however if you search the internet a bit, you can find a modified version of the required Drive Link app called "Drive Link Full Mirroring". This version of the app will allow a few more phones to work correctly but more importantly it allows you to mirror ANY app on your phone while controlling it through the head unit itself. There is a couple draw backs to mirror link however. First off the cable does not supply enough power to charge my phone (500ma instead of the 2a required) so it actually discharges a bit while connected. Also the cable end is quite large so it will not fit without removing most cases. And finally if you want to stream video using your phone you will need a Samsung HDTV micro USB adapter while switching to the MHL feature on the radio. Pros: Snappy interface DVD Player Mirror Link MHL Great Value Cons: Mirror Link can be troublesome at times. Not enough power to charge while using mirror link. No HD Radio Too many labels on the front (looks tacky) Low resolution screen. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The touchscreen has 4 functions areas. You can touch the left of the screen to start the current chapter over, or the right of the screen to skip to the next chapter. Pressing the top center of the screen activates the picture adjustments, while pressing the bottom center activates the playback controls. Resume: If you change the source, playback also stops (without ejecting the disc or USB device). Next time you select CD or USB for the playback source, the disc will start from where it has been stopped previously. Disc Reload: 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; playback starts automatically. Mounting: For proper disc playback you must install the unit within 30-degrees of horizontal. Firmware Updates (via USB): The unit's operating system is updateable via free downloadable software from JVC's support site. Firmware downloads assist in maintaining system performance when using external devices and emerging technologies. Firmware/software updates can be downloaded onto a USB thumbdrive from your computer and then inserted into the head unit's USB port and uploaded. The tested unit contained firmware version G31.01.00 (0001). Audio Section 24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KW-NSX600 utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality. MOSFET Amplifier: The KW-NSX600 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 KW-NSX600 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 KW-NSX600 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 KW-NSX600 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. The internal amp can also be turned off when all the speakers are powered by outboard amplifiers. 5ch/4V Preamp Outputs (w/ Sub Level Control): The KW-NSX600 is equipped with 5ch/4.0V preamp outputs (Front, Rear, Subwoofer). The front and rear preamp outputs allow fader control, while the subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. You can adjust the KW-NSX600's subwoofer level (-50 to +10) independently from the head unit's main volume control for added bass volume. Built-in Crossovers: The JVC KW-NSX600 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 variable high-pass filter (40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 220 Hz or Through) 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. The front & rear channel's high-pass filters can be set independently of one another. 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 50, 60, 80, 100, 120 Hz or Through. Speaker Select: You can select which type & size of speaker you have connected to the head unit. Choose from Standard (OEM/Factory), Narrow (4"/5"), Middle (6"/5x7"/6x8"), Wide (6x9"). Pro EQ: The KW-NSX600 is equipped with JVC's Pro EQ. The integrated equalizer offers 8 preset sound modes (Flat, Natural, Dynamic, Vocal Boost, Bass Boost, Vibrant, and 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 Frequency Level Q Bass 60, 80, 100, 150 Hz +/- 10 dB (-5 to +5) 1.0, 1.25, 1.5, 2.0 Midrange 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 kHz +/- 10 dB (-5 to +5) 1.0, 2.0 Treble 10.0, 12.5, 15.0, 17.5 kHz +/- 10 dB (-5 to +5) Fixed Note: The audio adjustments are memorized for each individual source until you adjust the sound again. Loud (Loudness): This feature boosts low and high frequencies to produce a well-balanced sound at a low volume level. You can set the Loudness to On or Off. Dynamic Range Compression: This function reduces a Dolby Digital soundtrack's dynamic range so you can hear quieter dialog without being overwhelmed by loud sections. You can choose a setting of On (reduced dynamic range), Dialogue (clearer movie dialogue), or Off (full dynamic range). 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 -15 to +6. Key-Touch Tone: The in-dash head unit provides an audible beep to confirm button operation. This function can be turned On or Off. AV Connections Dual A/V Inputs: The JVC KW-NSX600 DVD receiver is fitted with two audio/video inputs. The unit features a front-panel 3.5mm audio/video input for connecting a temporary external A/V source, such as a game console. The head unit also features a composite video/stereo audio RCA input on the rear-panel for connecting a permanent external A/V source, such as a Blu-ray player or mobile ATSC tuner. The rear-panel audio/video input can be set to one of the following modes. AV IN: Choose when connecting an A/V component like a game system. iPod Video: Select when connecting your iPod using the optional USB/Video cable (105KSU30, sold separately). Video Output: The rear-panel Video Output consists of a composite video jack that allows you to connect an optional external monitor. You can watch the same audio/video source that is being played back on the JVC head unit on your connected external monitor (sold separately). You can select between a 16:9, 4:3 LB, or 4:3 PS Aspect Ratio for the unit's video output to match your connected monitor. Camera In: The rear-panel Camera input consists of a composite video connector which allows you to connect an optional rear-view camera (105KVCM20, sold separately). The unit features a reverse gear signal wire, that when connected to your vehicle's reverse light circuit, will automatically switch the KW-NSX600's display to the rear-view camera input. Automatic video switching takes approximately 1.2 seconds. Audio from your music source will continue playing, while the back-up camera is displayed. Remote Control Steering Wheel Remote Compatibility: The head unit features an OEM steering wheel remote control input wire (blue/yellow) within the included wiring harness that lets you keep your vehicle's factory radio steering wheel remote controls when used with an optional steering wheel audio control adapter (sold separately).

Supreme Court To Take Up Affirmative Action Case
Originally published on Tue October 9, 2012 7:10 pm
It's ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Robert Siegel.
Tomorrow, the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a landmark case about race and college admissions. In 2008, a white student named Abigail Fisher sued the University of Texas in Austin. Ms. Fisher claimed she was denied admission to UT because of her race.
ABIGAIL FISHER: There were people in my class with lower grades who weren't in all the activities I was in, who were being accepted into UT. And the only other difference between us was the color of our skin.
SIEGEL: Or at least that's what Abigail Fisher claims. Her suit, Fisher v. the University of Texas, could mean the end of admissions policies that take race into account. Over the next few minutes, we'll hear from students at the University of Texas, and we'll hear from a law professor who's been studying the banning of affirmative action in California's universities.
We'll begin with NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg. We'll have a full report on this case on tomorrow's MORNING EDITION, and we'll cover the arguments in court here tomorrow afternoon. Nina, first, Abigail Fisher was turned down by UT. She went to LSU instead. She's graduated from college. What is she asking the court to do?
NINA TOTENBERG, BYLINE: She's asking the court to end the affirmative action program at UT. As far as I could tell, she doesn't really want anything for herself.
SIEGEL: And in a nutshell, what's her argument for ending the system that UT uses?
TOTENBERG: She maintains that the so-called top 10 program in Texas has been successful at diversifying the student body without considering race. The top 10 program was enacted by the state legislature in the late 1990s and guarantees admission to UT for high school students who graduate in the top 10 percent of their class.
And the program has worked - at least to some degree - because, candidly, so many of the schools in the state are segregated almost entirely one race or ethnic group. And Ms. Fisher says that since the top 10 program has worked to some degree and is race-neutral, it is unnecessary to pile an affirmative action program on top of that.
SIEGEL: She obviously wasn't in the top 10 percent of her high school, but there are students admitted under an additional program that the university considers a more holistic approach, not just class rank.
TOTENBERG: The university says, first, that Ms. Fisher's grades and board scores were simply not high enough for her to be admitted no matter what her race. And the school says that given the surge in the Hispanic and black population, the top 10 program still leaves minorities way underrepresented. And, indeed, that the numbers were falling. So the school adopted a program based on individual evaluation that allows race to be considered as one of many factors, just as special math or a musical ability can be a plus factor.
SIEGEL: And going into this case, where does the Supreme Court stand on race-based or race-conscious admissions?
TOTENBERG: Well, it has twice ruled that race can be a factor in admissions, just not quotas. But now the Supreme Court has decided to revisit the issue. The composition of the court is different than the last time it ruled in 2003, and supporters of affirmative action are extremely worried.
SIEGEL: OK. Thank you, Nina.
TOTENBERG: Thank you, Robert.
SIEGEL: That's NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

|Summer Camp for Children
I don't have any personal experience with Mud City Adventures but their summer children's camps sound wonderful. They have day and weekly programs, Saturday camps, twilight camp, overnight weekend and week-long adventures, and sailing camps. There are an amzing number of activities for ages 3 to 16. You'll wish you could go to some of them. However, they do have some adult activities too, so don't envy the kids.
Mud City Adventures is based in Stowe VT and is named after an actual Vermont town located near Stowe. Considering how much kids like to play in mud, it seems an ideal name. The activities however are far beyond playing in the dirt. Take a look - I know you will be impressed.

Chinglish or Globish?
I do not think the Chinglish should be laughed at.
I tend to think it as Globish other than Chinglish.
China is not the only one who combines their own language and other languages.
The Chinese are making great effort to be more westernized by learning and practising English. People learn a new language from mistakes and practise.
In China, you can even see some small shops have their name translated in to English or even other language, however these attempts should not be laughed at, especially when you know that these shop owners do not know any English.
At Shenzhen University, there is a clobberer who repairs shoes, repair bicycles, clothes mainly for students, he also has put up a small board saying that"please coming". His workshop is just among several trees, made of some shabby paper and plastic stuff.
Anyway, the most colorful Chinglish is often not intended to help foreigners, but is used purely aesthetically/decoratively instead. They are much like Chinese character tattoos for the NBA players, for exmpale Allen Iverson from 76ers, Shawn Marion from Mavericks, Marquis Daniels from Pacers etc.

Calgary, AB (SportsNetwork.com) - Maxime Talbot tallied a goal and an assist as the Colorado Avalanche posted a 3-2 win over the Calgary Flames on Friday.
PA Parenteau and Nathan MacKinnon scored, while Jean-Sebastien Giguere posted 26 saves to improve to 7-0-0 on the season for the Avalanche, who have won three of their last four.
"It was very important," Giguere said. "We needed to respond the right way, show everybody that we're human, the same as anyone else. We might lose some games where we didn't play well but we're able to bounce back the next game. I thought we played a terrific game tonight."
Kris Russell had a goal and an assist and Matt Stajan scored the other goal for the Flames, who were going for a season-high third straight win. Karri Ramo allowed all three goals on 25 shots.
"It's hockey. Mistakes cost goals. My overall game was all right, but those mistakes are what counts and I have to avoid those," said Ramo.
Calgary got the initial lead of the game at 7:01 of the first on the power play as Russell got a pass at the top of the left circle and drifted over to the slot before slapping it home.
Colorado tied the game with two minutes left in the second period as Ramo misplayed the puck to the left of his net when John Mitchell grabbed the disc and centered it to Talbot for the easy tap-in.
Less than a minute later, the Avs took a 2-1 lead as Talbot rushed the puck out front from the right boards and had his shot stopped, but the rebound came to the slot and Parenteau buried it.
It was 3-1 for the Avs at 2:28 of the third as MacKinnon whipped in a rebound from the left side for his sixth of the year.
Calgary made it a one-goal game with 1:55 to play, but was unable to net the equalizer with Ramo pulled late.
Calgary plays in Edmonton on Saturday ... Colorado wraps up its three-game
road trip in Vancouver on Sunday ... Colorado took a 4-2 win over Calgary in
Colorado on Nov. 8 ... Calgary was 1-for-4 on the power play while Colorado
finished the game 0-for-4.

In general, treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia falls into separate phases:
Depending on your situation, the phases of treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia can span two to three years.
Treatments may include:
A stem cell transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy or radiation to destroy any leukemia-producing bone marrow. The marrow is then replaced by bone marrow from a compatible donor (allogeneic transplant).
ALL in older adults
Older adults, such as those older than 60, tend to experience more complications from ALL treatments. And older adults generally have a worse prognosis than children who are treated for ALL. Discuss your options with your doctor. Based on your overall health and your goals and preferences, you may decide to undergo treatment for your ALL. Some people may choose to forgo treatment for the cancer, instead focusing on treatments that improve their symptoms and help them make the most of the time they have remaining.

SUPER EGO Vampires beware, or at least grab a pair of killer shades. A recent, very late walk of shame (both heels broken but my rep intact) revealed that afternoon outdoor parties are currently raging full-tilt.

OK, let's go.

Robie's Store in Hooksett is looking for someone to love it
HOOKSETT — Town Administrator Dean Shankle said he is confident Robie's Country Store won't be closed long.
"I think Robie's is very important to the town in terms of its history and culture," Shankle said. "People in town care about it ... someone will jump in, so I am not worried; all will be well."
Before a new business operator is selected, Robie's Country Store Historic Preservation Corp. President Robert Schroeder said the nonprofit group has to go through the 100-year-old building and see if any repairs are needed.
"It's not my favorite pastime, looking for new operators. I like to see the store open," Schroeder said.
He said he has spoken to multiple people interested in keeping the doors open.
The Robie's Country Store Historic Preservation Corp. bought the building in 2000 from the Robie family, which had owned it for five generations. The deli and breakfast spot has long been a campaign stop for candidates in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary.
Debbie Chouinard has run the business for the last eight years, and worked at Robie's for 10. Sunday was her last day.
"This is very hard for me to do right now, but I think I made a good decision," Chouinard said. "I just can't do it, and I've been (very upset) about it."
Schroeder acknowledged that Chouinard would be hard to replace.
"At this point (Chouinard) has become a bit of a fixture there herself," Schroeder said.
The store has been designated in both the state and national registers of historic places.
"We are looking forward to regaining the old customer base and hope that people won't forget about us; I feel like we are a vital part of the community," Schroeder said. "We want to be here and continue in that role."
