Pioneer In-Dash Double-DIN CD/Cassette Receiver, Model FHP4200MP

Got a double-DIN headunit space? We have one word for you: FH-P4200MP. It’s the King Kong of headunits and it fits perfectly into your dash. But that’s not all: playback includes not only MP3 and WMA, but also CDs with iTunes® AAC files — a world’s first! This model delivers DSP with 9-Band Graphic EQ for customizing your vehicle’s sound. And it’s ready for Satellite Radio (XM or Sirius) and our hot iPod Adapter shipping in Spring ‘05.

Key Features:

• iTunes® AAC Playback Compatibility
  Here’s an important world’s first from Pioneer: Apple iTunes AAC compatibility! The FH-P4200MP 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 FH-P4200MP 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.
• DSP with 9-Band Graphic EQ
  Big size calls for big controls, and the FH-P4200MP gives it to you, with DSP settings with a 9-band graphic equalizer. With DSP your vehicle can become a Jazz Club. A Studio. A Stadium, a Dome, and more. You choose. And the 9-band EQ lets you fine-tune your sound just the way you like it, to fit your vehicle or just to fit your mood.

Loudness control provides an easy way to boost these better overall sound at low volume levels. Many Pioneer models feature 3-mode loudness, allowing you more precise control of the boost levels.

• BBE Digital
  BBE Digital divices 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 compensation with the phase compensation feature, restores the brilliance and clarity of the original live sound. WhatBBE brings to the world of car audio is pure, natural sound that's as close to the original as possible.
• 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 of the various sources will be the same.

  A high pass filter (HPF), included in the headunit or amplifier for more control, that limits low frequency signals. This provides the speakers with the most efficiency for their frequency ranges, and protechs them against damage from excessive bass.

  Large volume control knob that is easier to grasp and use than typical "+" and "-" keys. There are two versions: Fixed, and Pop-up, which can be pushed back in when not in use.
