The Pioneer DEH-P8300UB CD receiver plays your favorite media and offers
easy control over your car's audio system. And good looks don't hurt
either — this Pioneer features a stunningly simple control panel and a
snazzy animated OEL display that'll look right at home in your dash.
The DEH-P8300UB also sets a high standard for sound quality. Its 5-band
equalizer lets you tune your tonal balance, while Pioneer's Sound
Retriever circuitry restores information lost when you compress your
music files. You can adjust the range of frequencies you send to your
speakers with the high- and low-pass filters.
Plug in and rock
If you own it, you can probably plug it into this versatile receiver.
The front-panel USB and auxiliary inputs offer plenty of plug-in audio
options, including built-in iPod® and iPhone® controls. Once your iPod's
connected, its digital-to-analog converter is bypassed, and the
receiver uses its own high-quality DAC to deliver your music files with
the highest fidelity possible.
If you listen to Pandora® on your iPhone®, Pioneer's got you covered.
Download Pioneer's free Pandora app, hook up your iPhone to the
receiver's USB port, and you can use the receiver's controls to navigate
your way through your Pandora stations. You'll enjoy total control over
Pandora, including displays of artist, album, and song information on
the receiver's screen.
Big plans for your car audio system
Connect amps and subs to the three sets of high-voltage preamp outputs,
and build a high-powered car audio system that'll rule the parking lot.
For more media options, you can connect a satellite radio to open up a
world of music, sports, and news programming, or add an HD Radio® tuner
to access the improved sound quality broadcast by participating
stations. And if you're a phone addict, you'll want to add Pioneer's
Bluetooth adapter to enjoy hands-free calls while you're driving.
Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?
In most vehicles, you can use an adapter to connect your vehicle's
steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires,
then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and
you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.
Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this
receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model
compatibility with this receiver.
