JVC's KD-T920BTS CD receiver provides simple-to-use controls with the ability to change things up using its deep tone controls and variable-color lighting. Throw in Bluetooth® for wireless convenience, Internet and satellite radio options, plus several ways to play your library of music, and you've got a handsome, fully-featured 2" tall car stereo ready to dress up your dash. You may notice a dedicated button on the front panel — just press for Amazon Alexa voice control of your music and much more. And JVC backs this all up with a 2-year warranty.

After you load the Alexa app onto your phone and pair your phone to this JVC receiver, simply press the dedicated "Alexa" button on the faceplate, and you can access music, audiobooks, news, weather, traffic, and smart home controls using your voice. 

Just click a button and ask Alexa to play you some music.

Into streaming audio? JVC's Streaming DJ feature lets you pair five phones so everybody can pick their tunes for the ultimate road trip party. For the times when you're sharing the ride, the KD-T920BTS enables you to pair two phones and quickly switch between them for hands-free calling. You can wirelessly stream and control simple playback functions of just about any Internet radio service, including Spotify, TIDAL, Tune-In, and Qobuz. You can also control this stereo directly from your iPhone® or Android™ phone by downloading JVC's free Remote app.

In addition to all the Internet radio options, you can connect a SiriusXM tuner (not included) for seriously strong satellite radio programming that won't fade away when you head out on the highway. And, of course, you can also tune in your favorite local AM and FM stations.

The KD-T920BTS provides even more ways to get some music going, including a CD player and front aux input for a portable music player. Using the front-panel USB port or Bluetooth, and control your stored music while you charge your iPhone. Android users, you can play your music using Bluetooth. The USB port can also handle music stored on a thumb drive, including high-resolution FLAC music files. 

You can refine your sound with this receiver's onboard tone-shaping capabilities, including its 13-band graphic equalizer and time alignment feature. JVC's K2 technology uses some unique processing to improve the sound of just about anything you play. If your front speakers are located down low in the doors, the Sound Lift feature adjusts your music's frequencies to virtually "raise" your speakers for better, more natural imaging. If you're adding an amplifier or a powered subwoofer, two sets of preamp outputs provide you the clean signal you need for added output.

This receiver's 2-line white display provides all your music and caller info, while its variable-color illumination lets you pick the colors for two different areas of the faceplate. There are even ten animated light choices, and the Music Sync feature lets the lights dance to the music.

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.
