Sony, the leading consumer electronics brand, has announced the launch of five new Xplod A/V receivers (XAV-701BT, XAV-741, XAV-601BT, XAV-64BT, XAV-63). Offering enhanced iPod/iPhone control, a wide range of smartphone and USB connectivity options, multi-channel surround sound and more, Sony’s latest in-dash receivers provide rich, immersive music and video experiences while on the move.
A statement from the company says the new Passenger
App Control allows users to connect an iPod or iPhone via USB to display their
favourite TV shows, movies, and compatible applications onscreen1. Bluetooth connectivity
on the XAV-701BT, XAV-601BT and XAV-64BT with an external microphone completes
the package, enabling true hands-free calling while driving.
The XAV-701BT/741/601BT A/V receivers feature
high-quality WVGA panel displays with full touchscreen capability and a myriad
of ways for passengers to share their favourite multimedia when on the road.
Meanwhile, dual USB connectivity allows for simultaneous connection to USB mass
storage devices such as the Walkman digital music player for music playback and
control over the display of album artwork and playlists.
These receivers also offer universal smartphone connectivity
to any MirrorLink certified smartphone. Once connected, drivers can play music,
make and take phone calls, as well as control smartphone-based navigation
services and applications, all from the receiver’s 6.1-inch or 7-inch
touchscreen. The application achieves full smartphone integration while not
compromising driving safety. MirrorLink™ is a technology standard developed by
the Car Connectivity Consortium that enables the streaming of smartphone
content to in-dash receivers, facilitating control of applications and music on
the receiver’s touchscreen.
Sony is also redefining the in-car audio-visual
experience. Each receiver uses Sony’s proprietary Advanced Sound Engine with
full digital processing and Virtual 5.1ch to deliver powerful surround sound,
truly bringing the theatre into the car. Visuals are equally stunning, powered
by an extremely advanced GUI design that offers a super-fast response, a
6-Pre-set Visualizer, customizable wallpaper, and variable illumination to
match any car’s interior. For added theft protection, the 601BT includes a
fully detachable faceplate, rendering the receiver useless without it.
Delivering premium functionality at an entry-level
price, the XAV-63 and XAV-64BT offer a number of improvements typically found
only in more expensive A/V receivers. Like the high-end models, these two
receivers come with 6.1 inch high-quality WVGA displays, enhanced fast-response
GUI design, iPod/iPhone Passenger App Control, and Sony’s own Advanced Sound
Engine with full digital processing for ultimate sound versatility. iPod video
playback, simultaneous USB connectivity, Digital Clarity Tuner and Bluetooth
(64BT only) complete the package.
