front left and right centre rear left and right speakers span frequencies from 20 hz ­ 20 khz and there is a dedicated subwoofer channel for additional low frequency sound effects audio advanced dsp some of pioneer s headunits feature advanced dsp in combination with the 24-bit dac it produces the highest quality in-car sound asl automatic sound leveliser automatic sound leveliser asl technology electronically and automatically adjusts volume and frequencies to mask varying degrees of exterior noise memory navi this avic-x1bt feature can hold over 400 km of routeing once the route is loaded the dvd map disc can be exchanged for a single cd mp3 cd or dvd-video disc dolby digital pro logic ii reproduces multi-channel surround sound from a variety of sound sources to create the thrill of 5.1-channel surround sound even from 2-channel sources auto eq auto eq system tailors specific musical characteristics to taste according to the car s acoustics it applies automatic fine-tuning across the entire range of the music s frequency bandwidths using digital 13-band graphic equalisation for front and rear speakers poi point of interest pioneer s navigation units have a large amount of pois points of interest stored in memory the driver can do a fast poi search by name or by category destination search to locate a particular point of interest e.g restaurants petrol stations etc dts this 5.1-channel playback encoding technology is rapidly gaining popularity thanks to its dynamic sound impact auto time alignment dvd-video tmc traffic message channel keeps the driver updated on current traffic events and suggests alternative routes refer to page 9 the latest in multimedia digital technology dvd guarantees second-to-none picture quality the ultra-sharp digital picture and surround sound bring impressive cinema into your car plus dvd is packed with useful features e.g multiple languages soundtracks and subtitles support for various multi-channel audio-encoding technologies such as dts and dolby digital the time alignment feature adjusts the speaker sound output timing within the vehicle for each speaker in steps of 2.5 cm so the sound from each speaker reaches the driver s ears at the same time auto time alignment automatically estimates the delay from each speaker to the listening position and adjusts the time alignment accordingly itmctm itmctm is a national rds-tmc service for the uk which provides real-time traffic information services for in-car navigation systems built-in dsp cd aac advanced audio coding aac is a wideband audio codec that dramatically reduces the amount of data needed to convey high-quality digital audio this makes it the audio format of choice for internet wireless and digital broadcast arenas aac provides more efficient audio encoding compression than older formats like mp3 yet delivers quality comparable to uncompressed cd audio uses digital technology to correct a vehicle s interior acoustics the system also offers various sound fields to recreate different listening environments in your car studio jazz club etc v-trafic v-trafic offers real-time traffic information for in-car navigation systems mobile phones etc that covers the whole of france digital compression this feature is useful for music with an exceedingly wide dynamic range classical is a good example quiet passages are boosted so that background noise doesn t bury them and loud passages are reduced preventing overload and distortion of the speakers sources tv tuner dvb-t digital video broadcasting ­ terrestrial offering tv broadcasts over terrestrial networks dvb-t gives users the freedom of antenna reception while receiving digital quality video and audio direct sub drive cd text allows users to add text information to regular music cds usable with compact discs featuring cd text mosfet 50 and eeq can be used together to get direct sub drive eeq filters the rear channels output then mosfet 50 ­ due to ample audio power ­ drives pioneer s high sensitivity subwoofers directly without using a separate component amplifier mosfet 50 can also drive 2 speakers pumping out an incredible 1 x 70 w in the rear giving the unique set-up of a 2 x 50 w front and 1 x 70 w subwoofer system dynamic bass emphasis this feature digitally boosts low and high frequencies at lower volume levels to compensate for ambient road noise pal is the tv standard used in most of western europe cd-r/cd-rw compatibility secam secam l is the tv standard used in france secam dk is used in russia all pioneer cd headunits can playback cd-r/cd-rw discs allowing the user to enjoy favourite compilations in-car disc title memory radio tuner arc 5 the automatic reception control system ­ used in all pioneer headunits ­ increases sensitivity and improves fm reception enables the user to program an up to 10-digit descriptive title to be displayed when that cd is selected up to 48 titles may be entered with many pioneer single-cd units and up to 100 titles with pioneer multi-cd players eeq easy equaliser expands eeq further with a low pass filter lpf or a lpf plus high pass filter hpf for on-board network capability d4q is pioneer s digital am/fm tuner it uses a digital processing technique which improves the audio performance and selectivity of the receiver allowing users to enjoy high-quality radio without interference mp3 popular compression format that allows large amounts of audio files to be stored onto one cd-r/cd-rw disc pioneer players come equipped with large buffering capabilities which means they are all able to handle data rates from 16 kbps and vbr variable bit rate recording fie front image enhancer this function shifts the sound focus forward electronically without having to adjust the fader control by cutting off high frequency signals to the rear speakers it gives an extremely clear sound image in the front of the car without attenuating dynamic bass response from the rear speakers radio text by pressing the radio text button text messages sent as rds data are received these messages scroll across the screen for convenient viewing and can be stored in memory for review wma windows mediatm audio is a music compression format developed by the microsoft corporation it uses the latest coding technologies to compress an original audio track minimising file sizes while maintaining good audio quality even at rates as low as 64 kb/sec hi-volt pre-outs by providing a strong signal with less noise and more definition the hi-volt pre-outs reduce demand on the input circuit of the amps so they can work with lower gain settings resulting in improved sound quality and a wider dynamic range rds pioneer has incorporated the non interruption philosophy into the intelligent rds tuner for improved network following nf thanks to the sophisticated algorithms the different programme alternative frequencies are screened out and continuous uninterrupted listening pleasure is achieved 18
