(SINGAPORE, 27 MARCH 2012) – <strong>Sony</strong> brings greater connectivity to drivers with their in-<strong>car</strong><br />
entertainment with the launch of five <strong>new</strong> Xplod A/V <strong>receivers</strong> (XAV-701BT, XAV-741, XAV-<br />
601BT, XAV-64BT, XAV-63). Offering enhanced iPod/iPhone control, a wide range of<br />
smartphone and USB connectivity options, multi-channel surround sound and more, <strong>Sony</strong>’s<br />
latest in-dash <strong>receivers</strong> provide rich, immersive music and video experiences while on the<br />
move.<br />
The <strong>new</strong> Passenger App Control allows users to connect an iPod® or iPhone® via USB to<br />
display their favourite TV shows, movies, and compatible applications onscreen 1 . Bluetooth<br />
connectivity on the XAV-701BT, XAV-601BT and XAV-64BT with an external microphone<br />
completes the package, enabling true hands-free calling while driving.<br />
XAV-701BT<br />
The XAV-701BT/741/601BT A/V <strong>receivers</strong> feature high-quality WVGA panel displays with full<br />
touchscreen capability and a myriad of ways for passengers to share their favourite multimedia<br />
when on the road. Meanwhile dual USB connectivity allows for simultaneous connection to USB<br />

mass storage devices such as the Walkman® digital music player for music playback and control<br />
over the display of album artwork and playlists.<br />
The XAV-701BT, 741, and 601BT <strong>receivers</strong> also offer universal smartphone connectivity to any<br />
MirrorLink-certified smartphone 2 . Once connected, drivers can play music, make and take<br />
phone calls, as well as control smartphone-based navigation services and applications, all from<br />
the receiver’s 6.1-inch or 7-inch touchscreen. Not only is full smartphone integration achieved,<br />
but driving safety is maintained as well. MirrorLink is a technology standard developed <strong>by</strong> the<br />
Car Connectivity Consortium that enables the streaming of smartphone content to in-dash<br />
<strong>receivers</strong>, facilitating control of applications and music on the receiver’s touchscreen.<br />
“The highly sophisticated technology in today’s <strong>car</strong>s has opened the doors for offering deep<br />
integration and connectivity across a range of devices. <strong>Sony</strong> is leading this trend <strong>by</strong> offering a<br />
whole <strong>new</strong> level of connectivity, convenience and entertainment,” said Sydney Lee, Assistant<br />
General Manager, Personal Entertainment Division, <strong>Sony</strong> Electronics <strong>Asia</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong>. “Our <strong>new</strong><br />
range of A/V <strong>receivers</strong> makes it possible for every driver and passenger to seamlessly navigate,<br />
share and enjoy their music and movies even better than before.”<br />
<strong>Sony</strong> is also redefining the <strong>car</strong> <strong>audio</strong>-visual experience. Each receiver uses <strong>Sony</strong>’s proprietary<br />
Advanced Sound Engine with full digital processing and Virtual 5.1ch to deliver powerful<br />
surround sound, truly bringing the theatre into the <strong>car</strong>. Visuals are no less stunning thanks to an<br />
extremely advanced GUI design that offers a super-fast response, a 6 Pre-set Visualizer,<br />
customizable wallpaper, and variable illumination to match any <strong>car</strong>’s interior. For added theft<br />
protection the 601BT includes a fully detachable faceplate, rendering the receiver useless<br />
without it.<br />
Delivering premium functionality at an entry-level price, the XAV-63 and XAV-64BT offer a<br />
number of improvements typically found only in more expensive A/V <strong>receivers</strong>. Like their big<br />
brothers, these two <strong>receivers</strong> come with 6.1 inch high-quality WVGA displays, enhanced fastresponse<br />
GUI design, iPod®/iPhone® Passenger App Control, and <strong>Sony</strong>’s own Advanced<br />
Sound Engine with full digital processing for ultimate sound versatility. iPod® video playback,<br />

simultaneous USB connectivity, Digital Clarity Tuner and Bluetooth (64BT only) complete the<br />
package.<br />
The <strong>new</strong> range of Xplod A/V <strong>receivers</strong> XAV-63/64BT is available in <strong>Asia</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong> from April 2012.<br />
The XAV-701BT/741/601BT will be available in <strong>Asia</strong> <strong>Pacific</strong> from June 2012.<br />
