Features
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): BSM
lets you automatically store the six strongest stations under preset buttons 1-6
of the currently tuned band.
Digital Speedread2: The
DEH-P4800MP is equipped with Pioneer's Digital Speedread2 CD mechanism, which
provides fast performance, especially for reading and playing discs with
MP3/WMA/WAV files. It also shortens the audio gap between files during random
playback.
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.
EEQ (Easy EQ):
The DEH-P4800MP is equipped with a 3-band parametric 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:
- Selectable Center Frequencies:
- Low: 40, 80, 100, or
160 Hz
- Mid: 200, 500, 1k, or
2k Hz
- High: 3k, 8k, 10k or
12k Hz
- Preset EEQ Settings:
Powerful, Super Bass, Vocal, Natural, Custom, and EQ Flat
- Selectable Q Factors: 2
Narrow, 1 Narrow, 1 Wide, and 2 Wide
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)
Auxiliary Inputs: The
DEH-P4800MP is equipped with a 3.5mm stereo minijack auxiliary input for
connecting external components, such as a portable MP3 player, DVD, or VCR. This
"AUX 1" input must be turned on in the Initial Settings so it can be selected as
a source. Once AUX 1 is selected as a source, you can change the source display
of the input to any 8-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. This auxiliary input (known as AUX 2) must also be turned on,
and an 8-character name for the input can be stored in memory. See below for
more information on the 2nd Auxiliary Input.
2nd Auxiliary Input Ready: In
addition to the rear panel minijack Aux input (AUX 1), you can
connect a second auxiliary component by
connecting an IP-Bus/RCA connector. The CD-RB10 lets you connect one auxiliary
component, and the CD-RB20 lets you connect an auxiliary component and a CD
changer via the IP-Bus connector on the back of the head unit. The 8-character name of the
connected auxiliary component can be entered into memory, and will appear as you
cycle through the sources.
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 Output: The rear pair of preamp outputs are located
on a 6" pigtail, and can be set to
"Rear" for full range output with full fading capability, or a non-fading
"Subwoofer" output. When the rear preamp outputs are set to
"Subwoofer", the rear speaker outputs also switch from full range to subwoofer.
This enables you to connect the
rear speaker leads directly to a small subwoofer without an external amplifier,
either to dual 4-ohm voice coil sub, or bridged into a single voice coil, 4-ohm
sub. The bridged output is 70 watts max.
High Pass Filter: If you do not
want low frequency sounds to play from the front or rear 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.
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.
Front Image Enhancer (FIE): The
Front Image Enhancer attenuates mid- and high-frequency sounds from the rear
speakers at selectable crossover points, so that most of the vocals will come
from the front speakers, giving you better image staging. You can select from
the following cutoff frequencies: 100Hz, 160Hz, and 250Hz.
Compression
and BMX Functions: Using the "COMP" (compression) and "BMX" (Bit Media
eXpander) functions, you can adjust the playback quality of the CD player. Each
function may be set to one of two levels or off.
The "COMP" function compresses the audio signal to eliminate distortion caused
by the imbalances between the loudest and softest sounds when played at high
volumes. The "BMX" function controls sound reverberations to give playback a
fuller sound.
Rough Search: You can switch
the search method between fast forward/reverse and "Rough" in which the unit
searches every 10 tracks. If there are less than 10 tracks on the disc, the unit
will jump to the last track.
AGC (Automatic Gain Control):
The CD mechanism has a built-in Automatic Gain Control, which adjusts 7
different settings each time a CD is inserted to prevent the disc from skipping.
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.
Disc Naming: You can use the
disc title input feature to store up to 48 CD titles in the unit's memory. Each
title can be up to 8 characters long.
16-Character Display: The
DEH-P4800MP features a multi-color, 16-character display, which takes advantage
of MP3, WMA, iPod, XM Radio, and Sirius, plus CD Text-encoded discs. This large
display makes it easy to read and cycle through the song title, artist, and
other text used by these sources.
Function Confirmation Tones:
The receiver emits an audible beep tone each time a button is pressed. These
function confirmation tones cannot be turned off.
Display
Illumination/Clock Display: When the Clock
Display has been turned on, pressing and holding the Source button turns off
audio output, but the clock display and face/button illumination remain on. When
the Clock Display has not been turned on, pressing and holding the source button
turns the unit off completely. This unit's
illumination and clock are "keyed" only when the Clock Display has been turned
on.
Detachable Face Security: This unit
features a "flap-face" front panel with Detachable Face Security. If the front
panel is not detached from the head unit within five seconds of turning off the
ignition, a warning tone will sound. The warning tone can be turned off in the
menu, if desired. Two face-fixing screws and holders are supplied for
making the face non-detachable, if desired. Note: No face case
is included with this unit.
Remote Control: The DEH-P4800MP
comes with a wireless remote control (CXC5719). The remote allows you to control
the volume, switch between sources, pause the CD, change the display, and adjust
the audio. The attenuator button allows you to quickly lower the volume by about
90%, a function that cannot be performed from the front panel. In addition, the
head unit has a 3.5mm minijack on the back panel for connecting an optional
wired remote control, such as the CD-MR70 or CD-MR80 (130CDMR70 or 130CDMR80).
Satellite Radio Ready: You can
connect and control an external satellite radio tuner. The head unit is compatible with the GEX-P920XM (130P920XM) Pioneer XM receiver. In addition, it is
compatible with the XMDirect XM Radio package (item # 700XMPIONE). For Sirius, you can connect
the Pioneer Sirius Satellite Radio tuner (130SIRPNR2). A subscription to XM or
Sirius, plus the proper antenna is required in order to receive satellite radio
programming. The satellite radio tuners connect via the IP-Bus connector on the
back of the head unit.
Optional iPod Adapter: The Pioneer
CD-IB100ii iPod adapter (130IB100ii) allows you to play and control your iPod,
iPod mini, or iPod nano, and view album, artist, and other information on the
head unit's display. The adapter allows you to perform multiple search
functions, including playlist, genre, artist, and album searches. While
connected, the iPod adapter also charges the iPod's battery. The adapter works
with all "Dock Connector"-equipped iPods, and connects to the head unit via the
IP-Bus connector.
Note: This head unit
operates the iPod adapter as an "External Unit", which has some
limitations in functionality and display capability (8-characters)
compared to headunits with "Full" compatibility.
CD Changer Controls
IP-Bus System Controls: The
DEH-P4800MP is equipped with IP-Bus control, which allows you to connect and
control other Pioneer components. You can add a multi-disc CD changer, a
satellite radio receiver, an auxiliary input adapter, or an iPod adapter.
CD Changer Controls: You can
add an IP-Bus-compatible 6-disc or 12-disc Pioneer CD changer, and control it from the head unit.
It is also compatible with Pioneer's 50-disc changer.

CD Text
Display: When used with a CD Text-compatible Pioneer CD changer, this unit will display the titles of CD Text
encoded discs that are played in the changer. When playing a CD Text disc on a
CD Text compatible changer, you cannot switch to the Disc Title Input mode. CD
Text disc titles, artist names and track titles longer than 8 characters may be
scrolled to reveal the entire string of text.
CD Sound
Quality Adjustment: Using the "COMP"
(compression) and "DBE" (dynamic bass emphasis) functions, you can adjust the
playback quality of the changer. Each function may be set to one of two levels
or off. The "COMP" function compresses the audio
signal to eliminate distortions caused by the imbalances between the loudest and
softest sounds when played at high volumes. The "DBE" function boosts bass
frequencies to give your music a more full sound.
Note:
For these functions to work, they must be supported by the Pioneer CD
changer.
