4 mars DVD receivers — they're not just for moviesDVD receivers — they're not just for movies Zak Billmeier — Aug 25, 2008 DVD receivers — car stereos that play DVDs — are great for families with kids. You can connect a rear monitor, throw on their favorite DVD, and enjoy near silence from the back of the car as you drive to your destination. But since you can't watch movies up front unless you're parked, what good is a DVD receiver in a car that isn't full of impatient children? Simple. DVD receivers have wonderful screens, are loaded with features, and inject a sense of "cool" into your vehicle. Think of a DVD receiver as sort of a "command center" for entertainment in your vehicle —even when you're not playing a movie. DVD receivers come in a couple of flavors: double-sized to fit a larger dash opening, or single-sized to fit a vehicle's standard opening. The single-sized models usually have a motorized screen that slides out when you turn it on.
When you're not playing movies, the large screen acts as your receiver's display — and it's a whole lot easier to read than the 2- or 3-line displays of typical car receivers. You'll enjoy being able to read more information about what you're listening to. Bigger icons, split-screen capability, and more screen real estate add up to a satisfying car audio experience. You'll be able to keep your eyes on the road a whole lot better if you're not squinting at your display, or waiting for the info to scroll by.
Most DVD receivers offer touchscreen controls. You can just tap the screen to access menus, change sources, or tweak the sound.
DVD receivers are often loaded with features that represent upgrades from standard CD receivers. You'll be able to enjoy hands-free calling and music streaming with Bluetooth®, and also iPod® control, or satellite radio. Be sure to check out what's already built in and what the receiver is "ready" for, as this tends to vary. If you're toting your family around, the "dual-zone" capability that some receivers offer lets you separate the rear-seat entertainment from the front. Your backseat passengers can listen to their tunes or watch movies on a second monitor, while you listen to the ballgame up front.
Some DVD receivers lead a double life as GPS navigation receivers, too. Accurate directions will help you save on the gas bill, and many navigation receivers have optional real-time traffic capability for steering your way around the next big traffic jam.
Rear-view or "backup" cameras are handy tools for seeing what's behind you when you're backing up or parking. Their wide field of view offers a whole lot more of what's behind you than using your mirror, and you won't have to turn your head. You'll be squeezing into those tight parking spots in no time. They're great for larger vehicles or if you're towing a trailer.
Your passengers will take notice when they see a big, bright screen in your dash. While you'll base your buying decision on the feature set, the "cool factor" cannot be overlooked. Your in-dash stereo will stand out among the smaller displays of CD and digital media receivers, and enhance the look of your vehicle's interior.
There are a few receivers out there, like this model from Original Entertainment Media (OEM), that are meant to be a direct replacement for a boring factory stereo. OEM's stereos are designed for the unique openings in specific vehicles, and look like they were installed at the factory. But along with a clean look-and-feel, you get the expanded feature set and sleek interfaces of other aftermarket DVD receivers.
