Sony
India has introduced the new XAV-AX8100 in-car media receiver, offering new
utility features, powerful sound and smart features. The XAV-AX8100 is an
updated model of the current product (XAV-AX8000) with new HDMI connectivity
while maintaining all the sophisticated design, seamless utility, smart
features, and powerful experience. The new XAV-AX8100 is available in car
showrooms and car accessories shops across India at Rs.36,990.
The
newly added HDMI connectivity in XAV-AX8100 in-car media receiver allows users
to hook up an external audio and visual source device. The XAV-AX8100 features an 8.95 inches
display which makes it convenient for the driver while getting directions,
looking for a song on their smartphones, or customizing their audio. The
display panel features “anti-glare” clear responsive touch which makes it easy
for the driver to see for safer use on the road.
The
XAV-AX8100 gives the flexibility to the driver to connect their smartphones via
multiple platforms such as Apple CarPlay, Android Audio and Web Link. Apple CarPlay integrates an iPhone with the
car audio’s display and controls, enabling users to make phone calls, access
music, send and receive messages, get directions optimized for traffic and more
while the driver stays focused on the road. Apple CarPlay now supports
third-party navigation apps, so it provides even more choices to get to the
destination. Designed with safety and
convenience in mind, Android Auto is a simpler way to use a smartphone with the
car's display. Drivers can stay focused, connected and entertained, keeping
their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel, while using voice to help with
daily tasks.
WebLink
is a lightweight app delivery platform designed especially for in-vehicle use.
Using an Android or iOS device connection, it can mirror a smartphone screen
right on the car audio display to offer reliable, responsive infotainment. Use
the connected rear view camera when shifting the vehicle’s transmission lever
to the reverse position or simply tap the Rear Camera icon on the home screen.
Drivers are ready to go right after turning on the ignition.
The
sturdily built XAV-AX8100 features a 3-way adjustable display mount which works
in three directions. The display gives the driver multiple ways to adjust the
screen and offer flexible visibility while driving. The flexible installation
option also allows the AX8100 to be installed in a variety of vehicles.
Sony’s
head unit with high voltage 3-pre out offers a 5-volt signal, offering clearer
sound with less distortion . Digital Sound Processing (DSP) enables drivers to
adjust while creating a sound field ideal for the inside of vehicles. The
Dynamic Stage Organizer (DSO) creates an ambient sound as if there were
speakers on the dashboard. The 10-band equalizer (EQ10) with 10 presets offers
easy and effective frequency adjustment for various listening environments.
Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC) compresses without any loss in quality. It can
play back FLAC files with up to 24-bit depth and sampling frequency at 48 kHz.
