Stadium thrills at home with Football Mode
Shift the MHC-V81D into Football Mode to enjoy an authentic stadium experience. Choose narration off and immerse yourself in the crowd, by minimising narration volume and increasing crowd cheers.
Built-in DVD player
Watch movies easily thanks to a built-in DVD player and enjoy rich sound that brings your favourite scenes to life.
Seamless streaming with NFC and BLUETOOTH®
Near Field Communication (NFC) and Bluetooth® technology remove the need for wired connections and complex set-up sequences. Simply touch your NFC-enabled device to the MHC-V81D for a quick, seamless connection, then start streaming your music collection. No NFC? No problem. Connect via Bluetooth® technology and you’re ready to go.
Multi device connection
You and your friends can pair up to three smartphones simultaneously using BLUETOOTH® technology.
Enjoy high-quality Bluetooth® streaming with LDAC™
LDAC™ sends approximately three times more data (at the maximum 990 kbps transfer rate) than conventional Bluetooth® audio for a superior wireless listening experience.
DSEE automatically restores detail to digital music
Boost the quality of your compressed music files. When an original music source is compressed, it loses the high frequency elements that add detail and richness to your favourite tracks. The Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) faithfully restores these to produce high quality sound that’s closer to the original CD recording.
Splashproof top panel
The MHC-V81D’s top surface is splashproof, dustproof and easy to clean, so the party can keep going all night even if you spill a drink.
Tilt and roll for portability
Whenever you want to move the MHC-V81D, just hold the convenient carry handle and tilt it back. A sturdy caster lets you roll all the way to the party.
DJ effects let you put your own spin on tracks
Get the crowd going with DJ effects. Four different effects set the stage for your party: Flanger creates a deep flanging effect similar to the roar of a jet plane; WAH automatically moves the frequency of a filter up and down; Isolator singles out a specific frequency band; and PAN sweeps the sound across speakers. You can use DJ effects with the Fiestable app and gesture control, so getting creative with your playlists has never been easier.
USB port lets you plug in and play
Play tracks stored on a USB device, or make your own custom playlists with direct CD-to-USB recording. Simply connect your device to the PLAY / REC port and you are set to power up your next party with all your favorite tracks.
