Are you ready for this" The Premier DEH-P770MP's playback includes not only MP3 and WMA, but also CDs with iTunes AAC files - a world's first! It also features a totally new design, with a unique 7-Way Rotary Commander for easy operation plus a Deep Blue OEL Display with screensavers and background videos. The Supertuner III D + enhanced performance tuner hits a new level in FM and AM. And it's ready for Satellite Radio (XM or Sirius) and the hot iPod Adapter shipping in Spring '05. Comes with three pairs of Hi-Volt (4V) pre-outs and the Premier two-year warranty.
iTunes® AAC Playback Compatibility!
Here's an important world's first from Pioneer: Apple iTunes AAC compatibility! The Premier DEH-P770MP can play CDs with AAC files ripped using Apple's iTunes Media Player . Now you can make iTunes your one-stop music player for your PC, iPod and CDs as well.
(Note: Not compatible with DRM-protected music purchased from Apple iTunes Music Store)
MP3/WMA Playback Included
Plus, the DEH-P770MP plays your MP3 and WMA files. This gives you huge flexibility with the types of music you can play and the sources that your music can come from. Each CD-R or CD-RW disc you burn has the capacity to hold up to ten complete albums of MP3 music and twenty for AAC/WMA discs. Trust us, that's a lot of music. And since these CDs hold so much data, you'll be happy to know that Pioneer MP3 headunits also include a random play mode. You'll also be pleasantly surprised to find that our players support ID3 Tags and AAC/WMA text, which display artist, title, track and album information, just like your computer. Last but not least, our Digital Speedread2 mechanism speeds up track-to-track access, cutting down on the wait time. It can actually access an MP3 file faster than most receivers access a CD-Audio file.
7-Way Rotary Commander
The 7-Way Rotary Commander is like a musical joystick: with one central dial you can actually control 90% of the unit's functions and features. Scrolling through your MP3/WMA files and folders is now way easier.
Here's an example of how easy it works. Let's say you just threw in a CD-R loaded with all your favorite MP3 files. Here's how you'd find one specific file:
1. Press the LIST button to view your folders (such as Garage, Electronica)
2. Spin the Rotary Commander dial to select a folder on the display
3. Tilt the dial Right to view folder contents
4. Locate the file you want
5. Press the center of the dial to begin playback
That's it. Your fingers stay on just one dial, so it's fast and easy to find what you want and play it.
Deep Blue OEL Display with Screensavers
The DEH-P770MP's new "cool blue" OEL (Organic Electro-Luminescent) display lets you customize the look of your dash with color and motion. It comes with two screensaver movies (Dolphin Jigsaw and Circuit Board), 4 background animations, 4 background pictures, two level indicators, level meters, and even a battery voltage display!
This display also provides you with more music information. For viewing MP3 information, the DEH-P770MP supports both ID3v1 tags and the more current ID3v2. Up to 16 characters can be shown on the display at one time, vs. 8-10 characters on most competitors' models… Plus the rest will auto-scroll (up to 64 characters total!). That means that you can see most artists' full names, not some funky abbreviation.
Supertuner III D + Enhanced Performance Tuner
This newest version of Pioneer's tuner technology takes FM and AM radio performance to a new level. Called Supertuner III D +, it delivers significant improvement in the following areas:
1. Cancels FM multi-path noise often found in downtown areas. Multi-path noise occurs when an FM signal is reaching your vehicle multiple times; once directly from the transmitter and again as a reflection from a tall building. Now that reflected signal is eliminated, for a much cleaner signal.
2. Cancels AM noise, which can occur when you're driving where the AM signal is weakest.
3. Improves sensitivity, locking in on the signals from your selected stations
4. Improves the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and decreases distortion, especially when the signal is weak. The result is a higher-quality signal.
Whether you like music on FM, talk radio on AM, news, or sports, Supertuner III D + will further improve your listening experience.
Two-Way Crossover with New Direct Subwoofer Key
The Two-Way Crossover Adjustment is a convenient tool for tailoring your sound - and your subwoofer's levels. Right from your headunit, you can adjust your High-Pass Filter, which will protect your front and rear speakers from power-robbing deep bass notes. Now, use the Subwoofer adjustments to make sure your bass performance has the kick you like. In fact, you can just hit the new Subwoofer Direct button to fine tune the settings at any time!
Hi-Volt (4V) Pre-Outs
If you decide to connect an amplifier to the DEH-P770MP, its three Hi-Volt (4V) pre-outs will deliver a clean, powerful signal path. The higher the volts that a pre-out provides, the better the signal strength to your amp, and then your amp doesn't have to work as hard. These Hi-Volt pre-outs help give you better dynamics, crisper highs, and big, deep bass.
Satellite Radio Ready" Ready.
Satellite Radio. It's digital, high-quality programming beamed from satellites. And the signal that doesn't fade, no matter where you drive. It offers commercial-free music of nearly every genre, plus talk, news, sports, weather, and more. There are two companies that offer this great product - XM Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio - and the Premier DEH-P770MP is compatible with both of these subscription-based services. So you choose. You'll just need a Pioneer digital satellite tuner to match the satellite service you select.
iPod® Adapter Ready!
Attention current and future iPod owners: this deck can be your gateway to taking your iPod music collection on the road! This spring we'll begin shipping a new Pioneer CD-IB100 iPod Adapter, a small box that can hide almost anywhere. Once you connect this adapter, you can control your iPod through the headunit and even view album, artist, and other music info on its display. The Pioneer iPod adapter powers your iPod and even re-charges its internal battery. Just think: now you can play all of your iPod tunes via a powerful Pioneer mobile audio system!
