(or folder names) on a compressed audio disc and select one of them to playback.
- Slow Motion: When playing a DVD
or Video CD, there are four slow motion speeds in both directions (1/16, 1/8,
1/4, and 1/2).

Zoom in the
horizontal direction and by an intermediate proportion
between Full and Zoom
in the vertical direction.
- Normal: A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is.
Supertuner
III-D AM/FM Tuner: The Supertuner III-D 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 III-D 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.
The built-in AM/FM tuner offers various functionalities such as:
- BSM (Best Stations Memory): BSM
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.
Dimmer: To prevent the display from being too bright at night, the
display is automatically dimmed when the car's headlights are turned on. You can
turn the dimmer on or off. The automatic dimmer function only works when the
orange/white illumination wire in the wiring harness is connected to the
vehicle's headlight circuit.
Telephone Mute/Attenuator: Sound from your system is muted or attenuated automatically when a phone signal
is received when you have hardwired your mobile phone system to the mute wire of
this unit.
Wireless Remote Control: The multimedia headunit comes supplied with
an IR wireless remote control for wireless operation of the headunit and
connected devices.
Mounting: This unit can be installed up to a 30-degree angle.
Audio Features
CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the
AVH-P6000DVD 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 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)
MOSFET50 Internal Amplifier: This receiver is equipped with a 50 watts x 4 (peak)
MOSFET amplifier for low distortion, high power output. The amplifier is strong
enough to power small subwoofers to moderate volume levels in compact cars and
pickups. For higher volume levels from subwoofers, an optional amplifier may be
connected to the preamp outputs.
Car Environment: You can
create an in car surround environment that can be best matched with the type of
music or movie you are listening to in the vehicle. You can select from Music
Studio, Dynamic Theater, Actors' Stage, Relax Living, or Off.
Listening Position:
Selecting the listening position (Left, Center, or Right) lets you automatically
adjust the speaker output levels and inserts a delay time to match the number a
position of occupied seat. when used with the "Car Environment" function, the
sound image will be more natural and you can feel as if a panoramic sound
envelops you.
Easy EQ
Curves: This model has "SUPER BASS",
"POWERFUL", "NATURAL", "VOCAL", "CUSTOM",
and "FLAT" preset EQ curves. The "CUSTOM" curve is one that
you create and store in memory. A separate "CUSTOM"
curve can be created and stored in memory for each source.
3-Band
Parametric Equalizer: This unit includes a 3-band
parametric EQ with Selectable Q Factor for its "CUSTOM" EQ mode. You may select a low (40, 80, 100 or
160Hz), mid (200, 500, 1k or 2kHz) and high frequency (3k, 8k, 10k or
12kHz) to boost or cut within a range of -12dB to +12dB. The Q factor (slope of
the boost or cut) may be selected from one of the following four options: 2N
(narrow), 1N, 1W and 2W (wide). Selecting a narrow (steep) Q factor results in
frequencies around the center frequency to be affected less by the boost or cut
than they are with a wide Q factor. This feature is useful for taming frequency
response problems caused by the dimensions, materials and speaker locations of a
vehicle.
Adjustable Loudness: You can select "Low", "Mid" or "High" for different levels of loudness
compensation.
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
-4 dB to +4 dB.
Rear Channel
Output: You
can choose to use the rear channel output (speaker and preout) for full-range
speaker or subwoofer. If you select "subwoofer", you can connect a 4-ohm
subwoofer directly to each rear speaker lead, or a 2-ohm subwoofer to one of the
rear speaker leads, without using an external
amplifier.
