Pioneer's DEH-P5000UB CD receiver sports sharp looks, an informative, easy-to-read display, and plenty of options for playing all of your media. You can connect and control an iPod® or a variety of other devices through its built-in USB input. The clean-looking face features a 2-line display, with 16 characters per line for artist and title information, while the prominent control knob makes it easy to scroll through your music files and access the receiver's menus.

You'll find plenty of other audio options. The receiver plays MP3, WMA, and AAC files that you've burned to a disc, and you can connect other audio sources to the rear auxiliary input. Add satellite radio to the dedicated input and tap into the wide variety of music, news, talk, and sports that XM and SIRIUS offer. Make your drive safer by connecting Pioneer's optional Bluetooth® adapter — take your calls through your stereo, rather than fumbling around for a phone.

Adjust the sound with Pioneer's Easy EQ — it offers six preset sound curves for quick fixes, plus adjustable bass, midrange, and treble controls for custom tone shaping. The amplifier delivers plenty of power for accurate sound from your speakers, with built in high- and low-pass filters to optimize speaker performance. If you want to really get your ride rocking, use the stereo's three sets of preamp outputs to connect external amplifiers.

Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Hands-on Research" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.
