New car media receivers: connect just about anything digital.

Two new digital media receivers, the MVH-8200 and MVH-8200BT, bring video playback to single DIN

Two brand newversatile multimedia centres enhance the driving experience through innovative integration of USB and SD Card slots with music and video playback capability, iPod video, Bluetooth, and more.

“Compact, mass storage devices that hold large amounts of music and video files are becoming a standard for today's consumer, at home as well as in the car environment,” said Tom Van Biervliet, Manager Product Planning Car Audio, Pioneer Europe. “Embracing this trend, Pioneer debuts a new category of in-dash receivers designed with digital media playback from iPods¹, USB storage devices² and Secure Digital (SD) memory cards as the primary sources.”

The MVH-8200 and MVH-8200BT are single DIN receivers that come with a built-in 3-inch screen as the digital interface for audio and video capabilities. Pioneer’s highly regarded 7-way rotary commander makes track selection quick and easy, while a new on-screen display gives full access to all the playlists, album art, videos and more from the connected iPod or iPhone.

SD CardBoth units offer playback of MP3, WMA and iTunes AAC music files via USB and SD memory card. The USB port is located directly on the front panel of the receivers and the SD memory card slot is positioned discreetly behind the partially detachable front panel.

Ready for iPod. Works with iPhoneTo enhance the listening experience, particularly for compressed digital formats, Pioneer equipped the digital media receivers with its Advanced Sound Retriever, a patented technology that helps to restore the musical details lost when compressed music files are created.


Parrot Bluetooth ModuleThe inclusion of an 8-band graphic equalizer provides the ability to adjust the sound of the system to suit the vehicle and listener, while dedicated hi-volt (4 V) pre-amp outputs for front, rear, and subwoofer add to the overall system building flexibility.

For additional connectivity and convenience, the MVH-8200BT integrates a Parrot Bluetooth³ module. When paired with a compatible Bluetooth mobile phone, users can enjoy safe, hands-free communications enabling you to hear the conversation through the vehicle’s speakers while your voice is broadcast through the included microphone.
