Display Features
Detachable Face Security: This unit features Detachable Face
Security. A face-fixing screw is supplied for making the face non-detachable, if
desired.
Note: No face case is included with this unit. An
optional soft face case (142DFC1X,
sold separately) can be purchased for this unit.
LCD Display: The DEH-2200UB features a black background with
a one-line, 10-character white LCD display.
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 remains on. When the Clock Display has been turned
off, pressing and holding the source button turns the unit off completely. Even
if you have turned the radio completely off you can view the clock display by
pressing the clock button. The clock will then remain On until you turn it back
Off. When the unit is On you can select between the clock display or the audio
track/tuner display.
Switchable Button Illumination: The unit's button illumination can be
set to either Red or Green to better match your vehicle's interior lighting.
Audio Section
MOSFET Amplifier: The DEH-2200UB 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.
CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the
DEH-2200UB 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-2200UB 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
EEQ (Easy EQ): The DEH-2200UB is equipped with a 3-band EQ
with 6 preset EQ settings: Powerful, Dynamic, Vocal, Natural, Custom, and EQ
Flat. The Custom band can be adjusted as follows:
- Bass: +/- 6dB at 100 Hz
- Mid: +/- 6dB at 1 kHz
- Treble: +/- 6dB at 10 kHz
Loudness: The Loudness feature compensates for deficiencies in the low
and high sound ranges at low volume. You can set the Loudness feature to High,
Low, or Off.
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.
2.0-Volt Preamp Output: The Pioneer DEH-2200UB features one
pair of 2.0 volt preamp outputs (left/right) fixed to its rear chassis.
Radio Functions
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 level 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.
Disc Playback
MP3/WMA/WAV Playback: This unit can play MP3, WMA and 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.
Note: When playing compressed audio, there is no sound during
fast-forward or reverse.
Name/Track Title List: The Name List feature displays a list
of MP3/WMA folders and tracks on a loaded CD or connected USB device, so you can
easily access your music. Track Title List will display the list of track titles
on a CD Text disc.
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.
Installation Angle: Optimum CD playback performance is obtained when the unit is
installed at an angle of less than 60-degrees.
Aux/USB/iPod Connection
Auxiliary Input: The DEH-2200UB 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. AUX must be turned on in the setup
menu in order to be selected as a source.
Front-Panel USB Input: The unit's
front-panel USB type-A input allows you to connect a USB portable audio player
or USB flash memory that is USB Mass Storage Class compliant. This unit can play
MP3, WMA, and/or WAV files stored on a USB Mass Storage device in FAT16 or FAT32
file system 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, 500 folders and 15,000 files per USB device are recognized by this
unit.
Note: USB portable audio players that can be charged via USB will
be charged when plugged into the CD receiver's USB port and the vehicle's
ignition switch is set to ACC or on.
iPod Interface: The DEH-2200UB can
control and playback songs on an iPod. This unit supports select iPods with a
standard Dock Connector. You can connect your iPod using the unit's front-panel
USB input (a dock connector-to-USB cable, such as the one supplied with your
iPod, or the optional
130CDIU50, is required). When connected via USB, you can choose to control
the iPod from the head unit or the iPod itself (you can still change songs from
the head unit, even when you are controlling the iPod manually.) You can perform
multiple search functions, including playlist, genre, artist, or album searches.
You can also select random and repeat functions for a certain song, all songs,
or specific folders. The headunit will also display your iPod's music file
information, including Play Time, Song Title, Artist Name, and Album Title.
While connected and the ignition switch is set to ACC or ON, the USB connection
will power and charge your iPod. The Pioneer DEH-2200UB is "Made for iPod/iPhone"
compatible and supports the following iPod/iPhone model functions (as of Jan.
2010):

Note: Apple iPod/iPhone software updates may change
functionality results. If you download a newer software version, you may
need to reset the headunit and your iPod/iPhone to regain functionality.
If this doesn't work, you may need to revert to the older software
version or wait until an newer software update is available.
Remote Control
Remote Control: The DEH-2200UB comes with an IR wireless remote
control (CXE2758). The remote allows you to control the volume, switch between
sources, pause the CD, change the display, and adjust the audio. The mute
button allows you to quickly lower the volume by about 90% ( function that
cannot be performed from the front panel).
