Overview: The Pioneer DEH-P510UB is an AM/FM/CD receiver
that can play MP3, WMA, WAV, and AAC files on CD-R and CD-RW discs, as well as
from a portable USB device. It has a front-panel
3.5mm auxiliary input for portable devices, as well as a front-panel and rear-panel USB input
for your iPod or other USB-based portable audio player or USB memory device.
Additional accessories that are compatible with this unit include Bluetooth
Audio and Bluetooth Telephone (when the optional Pioneer Bluetooth adapter is
connected), XM or SIRIUS Satellite Radio (with an optional satellite radio tuner
and antenna), and a multi-CD player.
CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the
DEH-P510UB are
compliant with the CEA2006 Mobile Amplifier Power Testing and Measurement
standards from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). These standards were
developed as a way to equitably compare power specs from model to model and
between manufacturers. The power output specs for the DEH-P510UB are as
follows:
- CEA2006 Specs: 14 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz,
1% THD-N)
- Continuous Power Output:
22 watts RMS x 4 channels (at 4 ohms,
50Hz-15kHz, 5% THD)
- Maximum Power Output:
50 watts x 4 channels (or 50 watts x 2
channels at 4 ohms + 70 watts x 1 channel at 2 ohms for subwoofer)
MOSFET Amplifier:
The DEH-P510UB is equipped with a MOSFET amplifier. Compared to conventional power
supplies, the MOSFET amplification circuit is smaller and more efficient, and it
delivers increased power with less distortion and absolutely zero on/off
switching noise. More power means louder and cleaner music at higher volumes
because you're not pushing the limits of the amplification circuit.
Supertuner
IIID AM/FM Tuner: The Supertuner IIID features
Feed Forward Control, which avoids multi-path interference. This pre-detection
of interference enables quick filter control and results in less distortion. In
addition, the Supertuner IIID creates enhanced stereo during multi-path
interference, unlike conventional tuners that collapse to mono. Digital
processing reduces distortion, and improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio and stereo
separation. Advanced analog technology improves signal processing sensitivity.
BSM (Best Stations Memory): The BSM (Best Stations Memory) function
lets you automatically store the six strongest stations under preset buttons 1-6
of the currently tuned band. The tuner has 3 FM banks and 1 AM bank. You can
store 6 presets for each bank giving you a total of 18 FM presets and 6 AM
presets.
Local Tuning: Local seek tuning
lets you tune in only those radio stations with sufficiently strong signals for
good reception. There are 4 levels of sensitivity for FM and two levels for AM.
The higher settings allow reception of only the strongest stations, while lower
settings let you receive progressively weaker stations.
MP3/WMA/WAV Playback: This unit can play MP3/WMA/WAV files recorded on CD-ROM, CD-R, and CD-RW discs
in ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet, and Romeo formats. MP3 files with a bit rate
from 8-320 kbps, WMA files with a constant bit rate from 48-320 kbps, and WMA
files with a variable bit rate from 48-384 kbps are supported. The unit is
compatible with ID3 Tags and will display artist, folder, file, and album name,
plus comments. Up to 8 directories, 99 folders and 999 files per disc are
recognized by this unit.
AAC Decoding: This unit will
playback AAC files encoded by iTunes recorded onto CDs, however files purchased
from the iTunes Music Store (.m4p file extension) are not compatible. Tracks
recorded at transmission rates of 16-320 kbps are playable on this unit.
Sound Retriever: The Sound Retriever automatically enhances compressed
audio and restores the original richness of the recording. When Sound
Retriever is on, the high frequency range is compensated to match the frequency
response curve to the original sound. There are two
available levels of the Sound Retriever effect.
EEQ (Easy EQ): The DEH-P510UB is equipped with a 7-band EQ with 6 preset EQ settings. You can boost or cut each frequency band
by +/- 12dB at 2dB intervals. Features of the Easy EQ include:
- Center Frequencies: 50Hz, 125Hz, 315Hz, 800Hz, 2kHz,
5kHz, 12.5kHz
- Preset EEQ Settings: Powerful, Super Bass, Vocal,
Natural, Custom 1, Custom 2, and Flat
Selectable Loudness Levels: Loudness compensates for deficiencies in the low and high frequencies at low
volumes. You can choose from three levels of
loudness:
- Low: +3.5dB (100Hz), +3dB
(10kHz)
- Mid: +10dB (100Hz), +6.5dB
(10kHz)
- High: +11dB (100Hz), +11dB
(10kHz)
List Button: The List button on the front panel allows you
to
track the title list, folder list, file list, preset channel list, or disc title
list, depending upon the source. Once the List button is pressed, you can turn
the multi-control knob to view each item on the list. To select the highlighted
item, you can press the multi-control. This allows you to quickly make
selections from most any source.
Auxiliary Input: The DEH-P510UB is equipped with a front-panel 3.5mm stereo minijack auxiliary input for
connecting external components, such as a portable MP3 player, DVD, or VCR. Once
AUX 1 is selected as a source, you can change the source display of the input to
any 10-character name. A second auxiliary device can be connected to this unit
when an optional adapter is connected to the IP-Bus connector on the rear panel.
Both Aux 1 and Aux 2 must be turned on in the setup menu in order to be selected
as a source. See below for
more information on the 2nd Auxiliary Input.
2nd Auxiliary Input Ready: In addition to the front-panel minijack Aux input (AUX 1), you can
connect a second auxiliary component by
connecting an IP-Bus/RCA connector. The optional CD-RB10 (sold separately) lets you connect one auxiliary
component, and the optional CD-RB20 (sold separately) lets you connect an auxiliary component and a CD
changer via the IP-Bus connector on the back of the head unit. The 10-character name of the
connected auxiliary component can be entered into memory, and will appear as you
cycle through the sources.
Three 4-Volt Preamp Outputs: The Pioneer DEH-P510UB is equipped with three 4-Volt preamp outputs
(Front/Rear/Subwoofer). The front and rear speakers are fading with high-pass
crossover filters, while the subwoofer output is non-fading with a low-pass
crossover filter.
- Front and Rear Preamp Outputs:
If you do not
want low frequency sounds to play from the front or rear speaker preamp outputs
(or speaker outputs), you
can turn on the 12dB/octave High Pass Filter. The HPF has a selectable cutoff
frequency (50, 63, 80, 100, or 125 Hz). Only frequencies
higher than those in the selected range are output through the speakers.
- Subwoofer Output: The unit has a pair of dedicated
non-fading RCA subwoofer outputs with a low-pass filter, phase adjustment,
and output level. When the subwoofer output is turned on, you can select the
frequency of the 18dB/octave low pass filter (50, 63, 80, 100, or 125 Hz),
select the subwoofer phase (normal/reverse), and the subwoofer gain (+6 to
-24).
Switchable Rear Channel/Subwoofer Speaker Output: The
rear speaker outputs can be set to provide full range output with full fading
capability, or they can be set to provide non-fading subwoofer (low-pass)
output. When the rear speaker outputs are set to subwoofer mode, the rear preamp
outputs also switch from full range to subwoofer outputs. When set for subwoofer
operation, you can connect the rear speaker leads directly to two small 4-ohm
passive subwoofers or a dual voice coil sub with 4-ohm voice coils. If you
prefer to use a single 2-ohm subwoofer, you can connect the woofer to one set of
speaker leads, leaving the other set of rear leads disconnected. The maximum
output provided when a 2-ohm load is connected to one set of leads is 70 watts.
Bass Boost: The Bass Boost
function raises the level of sounds lower than 100Hz. You can select a desired
level of bass boost between 0 and 6 (Gain: +12dB to 0dB).
Source
Level Adjustment (SLA): This function lets
you adjust the volume level of each source to prevent radical changes in volume
when switching between sources. Settings are based on the volume level of the FM
tuner, which remains unchanged. Each source can be independently adjusted from
-4dB to +4dB.
OEL Full-Motion Display: The DEH-P510UB features a black background
with a 3-line, blue OEL full-motion display, which takes advantage of MP3,
WMA, iPod, XM Radio, and Sirius, plus CD Text-encoded discs. This display makes
it easy to read and cycle through the song title, artist, and other text used by
these sources. The OEL display also offers 3D full-motion screen savers.
Multi-Language Display: For
your convenience this unit is equipped with a multiple language display. You can
select from English, Spanish, or French.
