Features
6.1" TFT LCD Touch-screen
Color Display: The
AVH-P4000DVD features a 6.1" TFT Active Matrix, 16:9 wide screen
touch-screen display. The resolution of the
display is 1440 x 234 for a total of 336,960 pixels. The screen has an
anti-glare, low reflection coating for better visibility. The touch panel allows
you to control this unit or a connected component such as an iPod, Satellite
radio receiver, USB Flash memory, CD or DVD changer,
or TV tuner. Menus appear on screen for making function choices, audio
adjustments, and setting up the system.
CEA2006 Compliant: The power specifications for the
AVH-P4000DVD 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.
Video Adjustments: You can store numerous video settings for
each source and the optional rear view camera, including brightness, contrast, color and hue.
On Screen Display Color: The color of the on-screen display can be set
to blue, red, amber, green, or violet. The background can be set to one of three
background pictures or video from the external input.
Button Illumination: The color of the button illumination can also be
set to blue, red, amber, green, violet or scan (constantly cycling through the
color spectrum). You can also create a custom color using the volume knob to
dial in the desired color.
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. You may select a low (40, 80, 100 or
160Hz), mid (200, 500, 1k or 2kHz) and high frequency (3.15k, 8k, 10k or
12.5kHz) 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.
High-pass Filter: When you
don't want sound in the subwoofer frequency range output from the front and rear
speakers, you may activate the built-in high-pass filter. You may select a
filter frequency of 50Hz, 63Hz, 80Hz, 100Hz, or 125Hz.
Rear Switchable Preouts: The rear preamp outputs can be
switched to a non-fading subwoofer output. When the subwoofer output is turned
on, you can set the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter to 50Hz, 63Hz, 80Hz,
100Hz, or 125Hz, set the phase of the output to normal or reverse, and adjust
the level between +6 and -24.
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.
Bass Boost: You can easily
boost the subwoofer bass level by using the Bass Boost function. The Bass Boost
feature allows you increase the subwoofer level from 0 to +6.
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. 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.
MP3/WMA/AAC Playback: This unit can play MP3/WMA/AAC files
recorded on CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, and DVD-RW discs in ISO9660 Level 1/Level 2, Joliet,
and Romeo formats. MP3 and AAC files with a bit rate from 8-320 kbps and WMA files with a
bit rate from 5-320 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 discs, however files purchased from the iTunes Music Store
(.m4p file extension) are not compatible. Tracks recorded at transmission rates
of 8-320 kbps are playable on this unit.
CD Scan: CD scan lets you hear
the first 10 seconds of the each track on your CD. When playing a compressed
audio disc, the first 10 seconds of each track of the current folder or the
first track of each folder is played.
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.
Rear View Camera: The head unit
features a function that automatically switches to the rear camera image (Rear
View Camera In jack) when an optional rear camera (camera must have an RCA
composite video output) is installed on your vehicle. When the
shift lever is in the reverse position, the screen automatically switches to the
rear view camera.
Mounting:
This unit can be installed up to a 30-degree angle.
Remote Control:
The AVH-P4000DVD does not include a remote control. The optional CD-R55 wireless remote
control can be used with this unit. The head unit also has a 3.5mm mini-jack on the back panel for connecting an optional wired remote control, such as the CD-MR70 or CD-MR80 (130CDMR70 or 130CDMR80).
