Front Panel Auto-flap mechanism (motorised)
Display Illumination OEL-WHITE
Rotary Commander Yes

This feature automatically reduces the volume of your system when an incoming call is detected or you dial an outgoing call on a cellular phone installed in your car.

Connectivity

IP Bus Yes
RCA Preout Gold-plated, 3 (F + R + S/W)

Thanks to the RCA pre-outs, it is easy to expand your sound system. You can significantly improve your in-car sound quality by connecting extra amplifiers to your headunit. You could customize your sound system with separate amplifiers for the front speakers, the rear speakers and a subwoofer. Combining Pioneer 's EEQ+ with the RCA pre-outs let you create the exact sound you want, with the focus on complete flexibility!
Sub-display Output Yes
Hard-wired Remote Input Yes
High Voltage Output Yes

To provide a high output to your amplifier, Pioneer has built a special High Voltage Preamp circuit yielding no less thatn 4 V non-clipping output to the preout terminal. Such a high output voltage means the power amplifier does not have to work so hard to produce sufficient gain to give high volume levels. As a result, even a low gain power amplifier can be used, giving excellent sound quality with low noise.
ISO Connector ready Yes

Standard interface to connect the stereo to the electrical harnas of the car.

Tuner Features

Radio Data System (RDS) Yes

RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for pro-viding information along with FM broadcasts. This inaudible information provides such fea-tures as program service name, program type, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired station. Note: • RDS service may not be provided by all stations. • RDS functions like AF (alternative frequencies search) and TA (traffic announcement standby) are only available when your radio is tuned in to an RDS station.
Traffic Announcement Yes
Best Stations Memory (BSM) Yes

Best Stations Memory scans and memorises the six strongest, clearest stations available on each band.
Auto Alternative Frequency Search Yes
Auto/Manual Frequency Search Yes
PTY Search Yes

A PTY search is performed by program type as indicated in the PTY list (the program types are: News&Inf, Popular, Classics, Others). It also provides automatic tuning to emergency broad-casts (PTY alarm).

CD Player Features

CD Text Yes

CD Text allows various text information to be added to normal music CDs. By pushing the Display key, it is possible to scroll between disc title, track title and artist name (usable with compact discs featuring CD Text).
Disc Title Memory Yes
Track Search/Scan/Repeat Yes/Yes/Yes
Last Position Memory Yes

Last Position Memory automatically resumes CD play from the last point if there is interruption to CD play.
Random Play Yes

Audio

Balance Yes
Fader Yes
Low Pass Filter Yes
High Pass Filter Yes

When the subwoofer is connected and you do not want low sound to play from the front or rear speakers, turn the high pass filter on. Only fre-quencies higher than those in the selected range will be output from the front or rear speakers.
Graphic Equaliser 16-band
Auto EQ Yes

Auto EQ is a powerful sound tuning feature which uses a microphone to monitor and analyse the acoustics inside the car. It then automatically adjusts the equalisation across the entire range of the music's frequency bandwiths to optimise the performance. In addition, it offers digital 13-band graphic equalisation for both front and rear speakers.
Auto Time Alignment Yes
Built in DSP Yes

The new built-in DSP and a Burr Brown 1-bit DAC with 24-bit resolution that, together, produce the highest quality in-car sound. Flexible sound customization can be achieved automatically, equivalent to a professional system.

An integrated three-fold approach is taken to achieve sound tuning perfection.
To start with, the Burr Brown 1-bit DAC with 24-bit resolution offers unprecedented true-to-the original sound thanks to a wider dynamic range. Secondly, the sound field is optimized with the user-friendly Advanced Time Alignment, which acoustically adjusts the sound image depending on the user's listening position. Thirdly, the Auto Equaliser monitors the car's interior acoustic environment, and after one of the three target curves is chosen, completes a sound correction process to balance the acoustics.

Additionally, the digital 13-band graphic equaliser's fine-tuning flexibility finds the perfect balance of lows, mids and highs, while the Source EQ Memory effortlessly recalls tone settings the user set for each individual audio source. In addition, there are 6-mode preset equalisation curves plus a nuance control function for subtle sound adjustments.
Listening Position Selector Yes

The Digital Listening Positions Selector automatically adjusts the sound field and stereo image to optimal levels for each of the four preset seating positions —front left, front right, rear left and rear right.
ASL (Automatic Sound Leveliser) Yes

Compensating for additional outside noise, the automatic sound leveliser uses signal processing to automatically and electronically adjust the internal volume so that your music always sounds right.
Source Level Adjuster (SLA) Yes

Source Level Adjuster (SLA):Allows you to independently adjust the volume ratio between all of the headunit's sources (using the FM volume level as a reference), so the start-up volume between sources will always be the same.
BBE Yes

BBE Digital divides the audio signals into three frequency bands and adjusts the speed of the sound waves so that the sound reaches the ear as it should for maximum listening pleasure. BBE adds a longer delay time to the lower frequencies and slightly boosts the high range, which tends to become attenuated, so that it recovers its natural articulation. And BBE dynamically controls the amplitude relationship between the mid and high band areas. This, in combination with the phase compensation feature, restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound. What BBE brings to the world of car audio is pure, natural sound that's as close to the original as possible.
