PRV-175 Marine Digital Media Receiver
Owner’s Manual

Product Description

This radio features Bluetooth technology allowing music to wirelessly stream from an audio source to the receiver you just purchased. Why Bluetooth? From a practical standpoint, Bluetooth enables your music device (if applicable) to be placed in a glove box, your overhead console, or even your pocket-places that are dry-without having to install a separate docking station. In addition, Bluetooth audio streaming will work with any Bluetooth enabled device, not just one brand of media. Once connected, you can use your receiver to control your media device and vice versa! Bluetooth has a range of approximately 30’, depending upon conditions, making this a practical solution for boats VTV’s, and more!
