NAVIGATION & MULTIMEDIA 6-19
You can control all of the headunit's functions with the rotary commander single dial. The rotary commander works like a joystick, giving you speedy control over the headunit. Rotate it left or right, push it up, down, left or right, or press it to navigate joystick-style through different radio stations, or to access folders and files.
iPod adapter ready
These headunits are ready to be used with the iPod adapter CD-IB100 II. You have full control of your iPod via the adapter, either from your headunit or via the steering wheel remote control. [. . . ] · Thanks to the 17 cm Ø 3-layer IMXTM (Injection Moulded Matrix) cone woofer, you can expect smooth sound from mid-bass to upper midrange frequencies. · The ultra-lightweight 28 mm Ø soft dome tweeter accurately reproduces the high notes. · The passive crossover network guarantees an optimal distribution of low and high frequencies to the woofer and tweeter.

The Quest for Perfect Sound
Always pursuing perfect sound, Team Pioneer continually challenges us to analyse the demands of the team and develop a `real car-use competition speaker'. The experience we gain from working closely with Team Pioneer has taught us about the necessity to improve in-car sound quality and the priority it needs to be given. After years of continuous interaction between Team Pioneer and our sound engineers, we can finally present the Open & SmoothTM concept. Embedded in many Pioneer products, from our high-end speakers to our TS-E and TS-A speaker series, this new concept lets you immerse yourself in pure sound that sets your pulse racing.
PIONEER'S SOUND CONCEPT: OPEN & SMOOTHTM
Only speakers that reproduce the ambience in which sounds originate can guarantee truly accurate sound. Stage size, the movement of musicians, aural re ection and other distinctive details all bring these sounds to life. The Open & SmoothTM sound of Pioneer's industry-leading speakers delivers both sonic excellence and performance. The open staging and smooth transition of the driver's response make for an immersive experience that is truly the ultimate in in-car sound. Like a smooth, open road, the journey to perfect in-car sound treats passengers to dramatic sensations moving with natural, dynamic ow.
Open Open staging and sound characteristics enhance the widening effect that extends way beyond the space between speakers.
Smooth With smooth transitions between mid-bass and tweeter, the sound from these speakers is not marred by crossover frequency dips.
OPEN & SMOOTHTM: WHY AND HOW?
Only by pursuing perfection can we realise accurate mid-range sound reproduction and music that lacks for nothing, with at response. Pioneer's approach to perfect sound relies on a foundation of Smoother Off-axis Response, Low Crossover Frequency and Low Distortion.
SMOOTHER OFF-AXIS RESPONSE
To ensure superior directivity Pioneer's range of sophisticated speakers always maintain more open, smooth, expansive, multidimensional sound with stereoscopic, expansive staging, yet without the dramatic dips and inconsistencies that lesser speakers can produce when angled in certain directions.
LOW CROSSOVER FREQUENCY
Pioneer expands the tweeters' frequency response for fuller midrange delity.

PRS CD RDS Tuner DEH-P88RSII
MP3/WMA/WAV/AAC CD RDS TUNER
Card-type remote control (Included)
Following in the footsteps of the successful DEH-P88RS, European Champion in the EMMA (European Mobile Media Association) sound quality competition, comes the DEH-P88RSII. It integrates some of the best audiophile-grade components and highperformance technologies like completely isolated left and right channels, independent left and right power supplies and gain control to make for a stunning audio package.
KEY FEATURES
· Symmetrically designed current feedback circuit · Left/right independent power supplies/gain controls · High-grade bipolar transistor output section · Hi-volt input capability (Max. 6. 5 V) · Gold-plated block-type speaker/power terminals · Block-type ground terminals · Anti-resonance H-shaped chassis · Audiophile-grade components
FULLY SYMMETRICAL LAYOUT
TOTAL VIBRATION CONTROL
The natural vibrations of a car can be transferred to the components inside an ampli er, causing audible distortion. Advanced resonance frequency testing on various back cover chassis designs
Patented sandwich construction
led to the development of the PRS-A900's H-shaped chassis, which absorbs the outer vibration. Additionally, the power transistors are kept rmly in place by the patented sandwich construction in order to keep the vibrations from affecting the sound quality.
UNIQUE FILTERLESS DESIGN
To further reduce the ground noise oor, the PRS-A900 does not have a crossover function. This ensures that the left and right channels are completely isolated, reducing noise and enhancing the overall sound experience.
For full features and specifications, please see pages 120 and 121.

PRS PIONEER REFERENCE SERIES
A world's rst, the left and right channel circuits in the PRS-A900 have been positioned completely symmetrically. As they are separated by a copper-coated
T-shaped partition board, radiation noise from the power supply is blocked out, resulting in minimised distortion and maximised sound intensity and clarity.

MULTILAYER CONE TECHNOLOGY
Combining an Aramid Fibre skin, a composite formed IMPPTM cone using Interlaced Aramid Fibre and a Glass Fibre skin, the TS-M171PRS's multilayer cone boasts strong bend rigidity. In addition, because this 3-layer cone does not use an adhesive, it is also lighter. For the TS-S101PRS, a dual-layer composite cone with Aramid Fibre and pulp is used. [. . . ] This information is used by your RDS tuner for a wide variety of features: · AF (Alternative Frequency) ensures that you can continue listening to your favourite radio channel without any interruption. When your current frequency is nearly out of reach, the system automatically switches to a frequency with better reception without you ever noticing. · PI (Programme Identity) Seek will automatically search for a different station with the same programming, if the tuner can't find a suitable station, or reception status becomes bad. · TA (Traffic Announcement) lets you receive traffic announcements automatically, no matter what source you are listening to.
