With a convenient USB and auxiliary input on the front panel, you can easily connect your iPod, iPhone and a variety of other devices for AV playback. In addition to this, an SD card input is located on the front panel, acting as portable Hard Disc Drive for your music.

Perfect for those long road trips with the family, the Dual Zone function adds flexibility, enabling front seat passengers to listen to music from one source, for example, whilst rear-seat passengers watch a movie from another source on optional rear screens.

The anti-glare 5.8-inch TFT touch screen gives you quick and easy access to the functions you need. Personalise the main menu items, background image and button illumination (from a choice of 113 colours) to perfectly match your interior or mood.

A better hands-free solution

Make and receive calls without physically having to adjust the volume of your music. The mobile phone mute 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.

Advanced Sound Retriever
Hear the glory of original sound across a deeper, wider spectrum from highly compressed MP3 and WMA files stored on a USB memory device. By compensating for data (especially higher frequencies) that tend to get lost in the digital compression process, Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever technology enhances audio reproduction nearly all the way up to 20kHz frequencies.

Built in 50W x 4 Channel High-Power MOSFET Amplifier
To minimize voltage loss in its head unit amplifiers, Pioneer built-in high-performance Power MOSFET integrated circuitry into all its head units. The MOSFET amplifier processes signals more efficiently at 50W x 4 maximum total output. This reduces distortion to virtually nothing at high frequency ranges giving you great clear sound.

Picture Quality Adjustment
In addition to LED-back light for brighter pictures, the Black Level Adjustment allows the unit to display deeper blacks that you'll appreciate when viewing movies. Colour Temperature Adjustment allows you to fine-tune colour quality ensuring a crisper, clearer picture.

MP3/WMA/AAC Playback on DVD
MP3 playback of MP3/WMA music files burned on DVD opens up an intriguing possibility: capacity to store your entire album collection on just one or two discs, without external connections! The capacity of a 4.7 GB DVD disc to store up to around 100 hours of audio (equivalent to approximately 1 000 songs, or 100 full pre-recorded CDs), after all, far surpasses that of a typical CD.
