DivX® Digital Media
Among the world’s most popular video technologies, the DivX digital format, based on MPEG-4 data compression standards, is doing for video what MP3 did for audio— it lets anyone create, share and play video in the form of downloadable files that can be quickly, conveniently exchanged among PCs and on the Internet without compromising the quality and integrity of original source material.
Dolby® Digital
This breakthrough technology offers “5.1 channels”—five discrete channels (front left and right, center, and rear left and right) spanning frequencies from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, plus
alow-frequency effects channel dedicated to frequencies of 120 Hz or below. These create an acoustic environment in which sound seems to move all around the listener, for supremely dramatic surround sound reproduction.
Dolby Pro Logic® II
Converts sound from 2-channel recorded sources (i.e. CD, MD, TV/FM broadcast, Video, Game, etc.) into 5.1-channel surround sound using matrix decode technology, so it is easy to enjoy sound to more multi-dimensional effect.
DTSTM (Digital Theater Systems)
Six-channel DTS sound captures the glory of digital surround sound. Featuring low data compression and a high data transfer rate, DTS technology ensures excellent localization throughout a vast frequency and dynamic range.
DVD Audio/Video
In addition to playing video DVDs, the DVD-Audio format provides audio fidelity far superior to that of normal CDs. In addition to audio in stereo and multi-channel surround sound, DVD Audio discs can hold artist bios, background information, lyrics and liner notes.
DVD-R/RW Compatibility
Pioneer DVD players can playback large-capacity DVD-R/RW discs.
DVD Video
DVD technology ensures second-to-none picture quality. Ultra-sharp digital picture and surround sound bring impressive cinema into your car. According to its software format, a DVD is packed with useful benefits such as multiple languages, soundtracks, subtitles and support for various multi-channel audio encoding technologies including DTSTM and Dolby® Digital.

High-Voltage Pre-out
Pioneer’s High-Voltage Pre-out maximizes signal strength to your amp. The benefits are superior dynamics, crisper highs, more full-bodied bass, and a higher signal-to-noise ratio for minimal noise interference attributable to connections.
IP-Bus Control
The IP-Bus connections on Pioneer headunits allow the user to connect optional source units such as a TV tuner, DVD player, Multi-CD player or even an iPod and create a true mobile multimedia center.
iTunes AAC (Advanced Audio Coding)
Advanced Audio Coding (AAC) is a wideband audio codec that dramatically reduces the amount of data needed to convey high-quality digital audio.
MOSFET 50 W × 4
Details on page 27.
MP3
Popular compression format that allows large amounts of audio files to be stored onto one CD-R/RW disc. Pioneer players come equipped with buffering capabilities, so they are all able to handle data rates from 16 kbps and VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording.
OEL (Organic EL) Display

PAL/PAL-M/NTSC/SECAM
PAL, PAL-M, NTSC and SECAM are TV reception standards.
RCA Pre-out
The standard connection system to carry sound from a headunit to an amplifier or equalizer. RCA pre-outs provide easy output for connection to an outboard amplifier.
Subwoofer Control
A function built into the headunit allows adjustment of subwoofer frequency.
Supertuner® IIID+/Supertuner® IIID/
Supertuner® III™/Supertuner®
Beyond the minimal sound interference and resistance to Three Signal Intermodulation (TSI) of Pioneer’s Supertuner® line, Supertuner® IIID advanced analog and digital blocks assure sound superiority and smoothly extend reception. Supertuner® IIID+ features FM Multi-path Canceller for improved stereo separation; AM Noise Canceller with Hi-Speed Gate control counteracting external noise; and Automatic Reception Control to strengthen weak signals.
Touch Panel Operation
Details on pages 7 and 12.
WMA (Windows Media™ Audio)
WMA is a music compression format developed by Microsoft Corporation. It uses the latest coding technologies to compress an original audio track, minimizing file sizes while maintaining good audio quality, even at rates as low as 64 kbps.
Amplifier Section
Bass Boost
Bass boost offers a choice among bass levels, spanning the range from 0 dB to 12 dB in 2 dB increments, for each speaker (including subwoofer) of a system. This provides more control over the overall balance of sound, to suit listener taste and style of music.
Class-FD ICEpower Amplifiers
Details on page 38.
High Pass Filter
Low-range sound is filtered off according to user-set cut-off frequency. Mid- and high-range sounds are transferred to the speaker.
Low Pass Filter
Mid- and high-range sounds are filtered off according to user-set cut-off frequency. Low-range sound is transferred to the woofer.
RCA Input
RCA input can be connected with headunit featuring RCA output for preamp signal.
RCA Input/Output
RCA input can be connected with a headunit featuring RCA output for preamp signal. RCA output can be connected with additional amplifiers for a multi-amp system configuration.
Speaker Level Inputs
This allows a Pioneer amplifier to be connected to an OEM radio without requiring costly add-on adapters. The added flexibility allows your Pioneer amplifier to be a part of your system as it grows.

IMPP (Injection-Molded Polypropylene)
Composite Cone
Pioneer uses a special injection molding process rather than “pressing” polypropylene speaker cones. This process ensures uniform cone thickness for superior linearity and clarity. What’s more, Pioneer’s “Composite” technology guarantees the perfect mix of polypropylene and carbon fiber, graphite and other materials to optimize the speaker cone for its specific application (woofers, midranges, tweeters, etc.).
KEVLAR® Brand Fiber
Characterized by lightness, strength, and low resonance to powerful input, KEVLAR® Brand Fiber is excellent for speaker diaphragms, helping to produce more detailed, accurate sound.
Open & Smooth
Details on pages 39 and 50.
VCCS (Voice Coil Cooling System)
Typically, the longer and louder you play your subwoofer, the hotter it gets. This changes its electrical and mechanical characteristics and adversely affects sound quality. Pioneer’s Voice Coil Cooling System (VCCS) draws heat away from the inside of the subwoofer, reducing temperatures by up to 30˚C. In the simplest terms, it keeps your sound crisp and your subwoofer from losing its cool.
