(SINGAPORE, 27 MARCH 2012) – Sony brings greater connectivity to drivers with their in-car
entertainment with 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.
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 onscreen 1 . 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.
XAV-701BT
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
1 Sony RC-202IPV iPod cable required

mass storage devices such as the Walkman® digital music player for music playback and control
over the display of album artwork and playlists.
The XAV-701BT, 741, and 601BT receivers also offer universal smartphone connectivity to any
MirrorLink-certified smartphone 2 . 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. Not only is full smartphone integration achieved,
but driving safety is maintained as well. 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.
“The highly sophisticated technology in today’s cars has opened the doors for offering deep
integration and connectivity across a range of devices. Sony is leading this trend by offering a
whole new level of connectivity, convenience and entertainment,” said Sydney Lee, Assistant
General Manager, Personal Entertainment Division, Sony Electronics Asia Pacific. “Our new
range of A/V receivers makes it possible for every driver and passenger to seamlessly navigate,
share and enjoy their music and movies even better than before.”
Sony is also redefining the 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 no less stunning thanks to 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 their big
brothers, these two receivers come with 6.1 inch high-quality WVGA displays, enhanced fastresponse
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.
The new range of Xplod A/V receivers XAV-63/64BT is available in Asia Pacific from April 2012.
The XAV-701BT/741/601BT will be available in Asia Pacific from June 2012.
