Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the JVC KD-R840BT by Ken Nail 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. For great looks and great sound JVC's KD-R840BT CD receiver ups the ante with its 5-zone Functional Variable Color faceplate. You can adjust any of the five distinct zones on the face to your liking, for a custom look that'll match your car's interior or your sense of style. And you can even have selected zones change color with your volume adjustments. The sound measures up to the sharp styling, with a strong internal amp and a 3-band parametric equalizer, plus high- and low-pass filters to tailor sound output to your speakers. If you're looking to build a system with external amps, three sets of high-voltage preamp outputs ensure the cleanest performance from your system. Front and rear USB inputs give you more flexibility for connecting USB devices. The 5-zone variable color display gives you plenty of customization options. Bluetooth® equipped for safety and convenience Bluetooth is great for talking hands-free, but that's not the only way it can enhance your car audio experience. Pair up JVC's KD-R840BT CD receiver with your smartphone, and enjoy audio streaming of Internet radio for more musical variety. And, with many Android™ phones, you can receive text message notifications too. And here's a cool feature — let's say you've got a business phone and a personal phone. Most car stereos with Bluetooth make you choose one for use in the car, but the KD-R840BT lets you pair two phones at once. And when a call comes in, the receiver will blink either blue or red, depending on the phone. So you'll either have your business game face on, or be ready to relax and unwind when chatting with a friend. Android™ smartphone compatibility JVC's Smart Music Control works with Android phones to support voice commands for controlling your music. You'll be able to change songs, search your music, and more without raising a finger. But if you like to get your digits involved, you can create playlists with the Mood Blender, or even adjust EQ settings with your phone. And this app lets you use your compatible Android phone's touchscreen to control many functions using finger swipes and gestures — for example, tap the screen to play and pause, or swipe right to skip forward a track. So pop your Android phone in a mount, and you can reach down and skip a track without taking your eyes off the road. Internet radio control PANDORA® Internet Radio is one of the most popular streaming stations on the web. iPhone users can control PANDORA through this JVC when connected to the USB slot, while Android and Blackberry owners control Pandora through the Bluetooth connection. Either way, you'll enjoy access to your favorite stations and display of song, artist, and album information on the receiver's screen while you're listening. Never miss your favorite radio programs Do you have news, sports, or other radio programs you don't want to miss? The KD-R840BT's radio timer feature automatically switches on the radio and tunes in the correct station, no matter what source you're on at the time. You can set the timer to work one time or daily, so it's great for catching the shows you enjoy during your daily commute. 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 receiver, 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. 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.

Audio Section 24 Bit D/A Converter: The JVC KD-R840BT utilizes a 24-bit digital to analog converter for superior sound quality. MOSFET Amplifier: The KD-R840BT 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-R840BT 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-R840BT 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-R840BT 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. 6ch/4V Preamp Outputs: The KD-R840BT is equipped with 6ch/4.8V preamp outputs (Front, Rear, Subwoofer). The front and rear preamp outputs allow fader control, while the subwoofer preamp output is non-fading. Subwoofer Controls: The head unit's sub preamp output features a low pass crossover and independent volume control. You can set the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter at 55Hz, 85Hz, or 120Hz. You can adjust the head unit's subwoofer level between -8 and +8 (separate from the main volume level). High-Pass Filter (for Front & Rear Speakers): You can activate a variable high-pass filter (100, 120, 150, 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. Pro EQ: The KD-R840BT is equipped with JVC's Pro EQ.

You can also adjust the brightness level of each zone manually from 0-31. Color Guide: When activated, the Color Guide mode changes the display and all button illumination to white when menu settings or music list search are performed. Auto 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). Remote/Bluetooth Control Wireless Remote Control: The KD-R840BT comes supplied with a wireless remote control (RM-RK52). The remote contains Attenuator, Sound, Source, Tracking, and Volume functions.

I believe for the price this is a great deck.

I bought this stereo for my car because it looked cool, it could change colors, and it was ready for subs. I really like the rear USB port, I hooked up my iPod to my radio and it is in the center console now. I've definitely had better receivers, I like Pioneer the best, but this is still a great one. I'm satisfied with the purchase. Pros: Rear USB I love it, trillions of different colors, Bluetooth, looks spunky sittin in the dash. Cons: It can get kindof tricky figuring out how to use the receiver, I think Pioneer receivers sound more clear, pressing the center button either pauses or mutes the music and takes some getting used to.

This radio has so many features that it has taken me a bit to fanagle the perfect sound for my car. But it sounds perfect. My kid loves changing the colors to match what he's wearing so I suppose it passes the kid cool factor as well. The rear USB fit perfect under the dash so now I have a hidden charger and it got rid of the unsightly iPhone charger in the center console. Pros: Looks great, sound great and great price.

Bought this for my wife for Christmas. Its a very cool, feature rich stereo with great sound. Install was a breeze, setup and configurations was super easy. Setup and sync with her smartphone was a breeze, now she is listening to Bluetooth streamed music and taking calls off her phone. Besides all the great features, the display has a super cool look with a zillion different color combinations etc. I would recommend to anyone looking to replace an older or stock stereo. Pros: Lots of features, Bluetooth for phone calls, imports contacts, stream any kind of music off smartphone, connect ipod, mp3, other devices. Cons: buttons are a bit cluttered, Bluetooth mic sound is marginal. 3 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Really, really love this radio. Put this in my 03 Wrangler after my old radio went out. There were many more features than I had originally thought which i really loved. Super easy to use, easy to install and overall a great radio. Pros: Great Sound, easy use, easy install, not to many bad things to say. Cons: When I got the kit it was missing several parts including bolts and one connector which I found at a local hardware store which isn't that big of a problem. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Needed to replace a failed radio in a Mountaineer. This provides a good range of features including the BT connectivity for only a little more than a repair to the old radio. The BT worked very well with my Samsung Android phone for both phone calls & Pandora. It gives me the capabilities found in new car factory systems at a much lower cost. Comments from people on the other end of the phone were very positive for clarity & volume. As far as the radio sound, this is one star down due to my inability to run it higher with the factory speakers - not the radios fault, but couldn't test the high power end. Overall, the installation was not very difficult if you have a basic understanding of auto dashes and radios. Even without that, the instructions were good so even a novice could probably handle it without much challenge. Don't forget the second acknowledgement for the BT pairing. That one bit me because I didn't read it well. I did have some speed bumps with the supplied harness / cabling, but Crutchfield shipped out a replacement and afterward, went the extra effort to make everything right. I would definitely consider buying from them again. Pros: Good sound, great BT / phone features. Programing relatively intuitive after a quick skim of the manual. Good support from Crutchfield. Cons: Obnoxious initial demo mode - could trigger an epileptic fit :) . Was this review helpful?

The Radio installation was a little more complicated than I had first thought for the 1983 Mustang convertible due to the 2 channel factory installed amplifier. I ended up having to completely bypass most of the factory wiring associated with the amp. I used the installation kit and wired the included connectors directly to all the installed speakers. I did not use the PAC SOEM-4 Factory Integration Adapter nor was it needed after wiring direct to the speakers. The wiring in the Mustang does not match any of the install kit or normal radio wiring colors, so it is best to get a drawing of the factory radio installation. I tried every way that technical help thought to wire the PAC SOEM-4 Factory Integration Adapter, but couldn't get more than a normal conversation level of speaker noise, so that is why I wired direct to the speakers and I ended up not using the PAC-4 I should have done that in the first place. It sounds great and has the volume needed for a convertible. Pros: After installation works great with the satellite radio option Cons: Lots of modifications to the dash and wiring. It has an obnoxious demo mode the comes up everytime power is removed from the unit. I had disconnected the battery for the install and did lots of temporary test, got tied of the demo mode. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Chose this headunit as it had all the same features I needed. (Bluetooth and aux cord really) I really noticed the difference going from 2v to 4.8v preamp voltage. nice little pick-me-up after losing the previous head unit.

Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Another great product from JVC Written By Todd B., Brownsville, KY on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I only put JVC players in my vehicles and have since 1998. The player that is currently in my honda has been thru 3 cars and was purchased new back in 2002. Its still works great and that is why it was a no brainer that I bought this for my daughters first car. You get so much for the $$. The mic for the hands free calling works great and there are so many settings to really tweak the sound you want to get. I'll never own another player other than JVC. I recommend this for anyone but especially parents that want their kids to have hands free calling to make it safer on the road. Pros: Great value. Great sound. Awesome Features. Very easy to use. Bluetooth Tech is crisp and clear. Cons: Quite honestly the remote that comes with it is unnecessary but since its included for free no biggie. I just never use it. 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value 5 out of 5 Awesome Head Unit!! Written By Jeremiah, El Paso, TX on Tuesday, September 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed this in a Mercury Mariner. Couldn't have been easier! Heard the difference immediately, even through the supposedly "Premium" Audiophile System from Ford. Changed out the crap factory speakers and did custom install of Sony 6 1/2 component speakers, even though it was stated that they would not fit! Sounds INCREDIBLE now! Even through the factory amp and subwoofer! Couldn't be happier with all the extras like Bluetooth, Sirius XM radio which I actually Bluetooth using my free XM app which negates the need for a separate antenna (Sorry Crutchfield...) The DEMO Mode for the lights is a lil tricky to get rid of but once its done, you actually kind of mish the flashing lights and have to tweak it again to look as cool as before.

There are several features I like on this unit, most notably that I can play Pandora through my Android phone and use the unit's remote control to change the song. No need to go back and forth between the phone and the receiver. However, the receiver is not user-friendly. I read the manual top to bottom and spent about 30 minutes trying to set things up but I still can't figure out how to use folders on the USB drive or how to fix the lighting. The receiver display flashes and changes colors like crazy and it looks like a rave party in my car at night- so embarrassing. I am sure Crutchfield can help me fix these things but I just don't have the time to mess with it. The sound might be good but I wouldn't know. I bought the unit bc I was advised to by Crutchfield bc of its high preamp output voltage but found out after installation that my car's amp can't handle it and it basically sounds like crap if I turn it up past regular listening volume. I'm not happy with this purchase or the advice I received from Crutchfield. 1 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Turtle Inn, owned by the Coppola family and sister property to Blancaneaux Lodge, is an intimate luxury resort set alongside a beautiful stretch of the Caribbean Sea near Placencia. Kids are allowed to stay here, but it mostly caters to couples -- and it's easy to see why. The resort offers a peaceful setting and Balinese-style private cottages and villas -- each with a fabulous indoor/outdoor bathroom -- separated by sand and stone walkways. Three restaurants, two bars, two outdoor pools and a number of guided tours and excursions make the resort feel much bigger than it actually is. Wi-Fi is spotty, but most guests are focused on unplugging outdoors: Excellent snorkeling and scuba diving at the Belize Barrier Reef is a short boat ride away.
One of two resorts in Belize owned by movie director Francis Ford Coppola, Blancaneaux Lodge enjoys a splendidly lush location beside a creek in the country's Mountain Pine Ridge. This fabulous hideaway features decent amenities (including horse stables), and wonderful wooden cabanas with thatched roofs and rustic luxe decor that includes colorful Guatemalan textiles. There are two pools, one of which is heated and overlooks the brook. But all of this luxury comes at a price, with steep room rates and pricey meals. Blancaneaux arguably has a wilder, more beautiful setting than competitor Chaa Creek, with better room views, but prices tend to be significantly higher, and the location is slightly more difficult to reach.
When it comes to stylish jungle lodges, Chan Chich is the real deal. Nestled in the remote northwestern corner of Belize, the lodge sits on a private nature reserve located within the 130,000-acre Gallon Jug Estate. Accommodations consist of 12 rustically charming yet comfortable thatched-roof cabanas and one two-bedroom villa set amid the grounds of an ancient Maya ruin. Nature lies at your doorstep, as do phenomenal hiking and bird watching opportunities. Modern comforts include outstanding cuisine at a restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating, cocktails in the tropical-themed bar, and a screened-in swimming pool with Jacuzzi.
Chaa Creek, one of Belize's first eco-lodges, has evolved from its humble beginnings as a working farm to become a premier luxury retreat. This sophisticated operation includes rustic-luxe, thatched-roof cottages, wonderful service, and modern amenities such as an infinity pool with jungle views and a full-service spa. The riverside setting on a private rainforest reserve is phenomenal, and myriad tours and outdoor activities are offered through the hotel. To top it off, room rates are fair for what you get -- and there are even budget accommodations available at Macal River Camp, located on the property.
Chabil Mar on Placencia Peninsula has 22 spacious villas equipped with family-friendly amenities: open kitchens, washers/dryers, closet space, and one to two bedrooms. Each villa is individually owned -- so decor varies between units -- but they are well-maintained through repairs and annual upgrades. Though many guests choose to cook in their villas, the Chabil Mar also operates an outdoor restaurant with great food and views of the Caribbean (room service is available, as well). The property has many of the amenities of a larger resort, including a bar, two outdoor pools, a pier for swimming, and free use of the kayaks and bikes. Golf carts can be rented by the day, as Placencia is a short ride away. Free Wi-Fi is offered throughout.
Grand Caribe is one of the larger properties on Ambergris Caye, with 72 one- to five-bedroom condos that appeal to families and groups. Decor is high-end, and includes Brazilian tile floors, mahogany wood, and granite countertops; all units have private terraces with pool or ocean views. The resort's action is centered around the three swimming pools -- most choose to hang out here rather than the beach. A restaurant and bar on-site offers a casual menu, while villas have fully equipped stainless steel kitchens. Wi-Fi is free, but other freebies are rare. Guests can rent golf carts, kayaks and bikes, or arrange day tours through the concierge.
This laid-back, 52-room property has rooms on both Placencia Peninsula and two small private islands. The range of amenities is extensive, including a professional dive shop, marina (slips are available), spa, three restaurants, three outdoor ocean-view pools, and tours galore from an impressive fleet of boats. The pretty beach offers free water sports; guests can also jump off the end of the swimming pier or grab drinks at the palapa bar. The rooms have patios and basic Guatemalan- and Mexican-inspired decor (some also have kitchenettes). Free Wi-Fi and airport transfers are offered.
As its name suggests, Kama Lounge & Bistro Bar started solely as a bistro bar, and in less than a year evolved to include a few condo units and spa services. The two owners, Dave and Alexandra, are expat fixtures in Belize and have loads of experience in the hospitality industry; in fact, Alexandra participated in the opening of the well-known Blancaneaux Lodge, and her family operates another resort on the mainland. Condo decor is bright and artsy, and includes funky animal prints and interesting wall murals. Guests at the condos have beautiful sea views and access to two pools at the complex. Just a few steps away is the outdoor bistro bar, which offers a range of creative cocktails, healthy menu items and spa treatments in a lounge-y atmosphere. Themed party nights are common, and Wi-Fi is free, though spotty.
Pedro's Hotel is a well-known destination in San Pedro for budget-minded, party-hearty travelers. If it feels like a hostel, that's because it partially is. The non-hostel half of the property is located across the street and offers 31 low-priced private rooms: two twins, or two twins pushed together to form a king. Rooms are as barebones as it gets, but many guests who stay here are just looking for a cheap crash pad after hitting the town. The staff -- mainly, Peter (a memorable British fellow who owns the joint) -- rents golf carts, bikes, and diving gear during the day, and tends bar by night. This is when the sports pub springs to life, and there's plenty of good pizza, drinks (ahem, Jagermeister), live music and conversation to be had before stumbling into bed.
Pook's Hill Lodge isn't as evolved as other high-end Belize eco-lodges: It feels like it's about where its competitors were when they first opened some 25 years ago. It's a perfectly fine place to stay in a wonderfully remote location; just don't arrive expecting luxury on par with that found in other long-established properties such as Chaa Creek. There's no pool, the 11 rooms are fairly basic and small, meals are served communal style, and hot water is only available during limited hours. It's also hard to get to, and priced about the same as higher-end jungle lodges elsewhere in the country. Adventurous travelers looking for rusticity might like it; other travelers may want to reconsider.

Governors State University proudly celebrates Women's History Month with a series of events throughout March. Prior to the 1970's, the topic of women's history was largely missing from general public consciousness. To address this situation, the Commission on the Status of Women initiated a "Women's History Week" originally celebration in 1978 and chose the week of March 8 to coincide with International Women's Day. The celebration was met with positive response, and in 1987, the National Women's History Project successfully petitioned Congress to expand the celebration to the entire month of March.

Governors State University celebrates Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) History Month with a series of events during the month of October.
"For a community deprived of its history, LGBT History Month teaches our heritage, provides role models, builds community, and recognizes our extraordinary national and international contributions," said Malcolm Lazin, executive director of the Equality Forum, an international civil rights organization.
LGBT History Month was first celebrated in 1994. October was chosen as the month for the celebration because National Coming Out Day was first held in October, and October commemorated the first march on Washington by LGBT people in 1979.
Student Commons and Select GSU Monitors
31 leaders, heroes, and community members who have made a difference in the LGBT community will be highlighted throughout the month. Each day in October, a new icon is featured with a video, biography, bibliography, images and other resources.
Universal Human Rights - December 2014
In December we raise awareness to the struggle for human rights. The Presidential Proclamation for Human Rights Day reminds us that more than 60 years ago, the United Nations General Assembly approved the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, declaring the "inherent dignity" and "equal and inalienable rights" of all human beings as the "foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.
