The Pioneer DEH-P3200UB CD receiver puts rock-solid audio performance and musical versatility in reach of the modest budget. Don't settle for a stripped-down stereo when you can outfit your car to handle a wide range of media and music players, plus improve the sound quality so you can really enjoy your music.

Great audio performance
Pioneer gets the ball rolling with its MOSFET amplifier, providing power that punches out your tunes with authority. Tweak the tonal balance with the 5-band equalizer — select the frequency range you want to adjust, then boost or attenuate it until your music sounds just right in your car. Seven preset EQ settings, including two custom settings, make it easy to toggle the tone on the fly. For digital music files, Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever (ASR) restores details, depth, and ambiance lost when your favourite tracks are compressed.

What do you want to listen to?
Play your regular store-bought and burned CDs, even discs loaded with MP3, WMA, and AAC files. You can connect your iPod® to the front-panel USB to control your playlists right from the receiver's controls. Once connected, the receiver bypasses your iPod's built-in digital-to-analog converter, employing the receiver's high-quality DAC to deliver your music files with superior fidelity. For more add-on options, plug an audio source into the front-panel auxiliary input, or connect a thumb drive to the USB input.

Amp it up
Ready to take your system to the next stage of sonic excellence? Hook up amps to the two sets of preamp outputs. You can even set one pair to a subwoofer mode and dial in the right amount of bass from the driver's seat.

Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls?
In most vehicles, you can use this adapter to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Pioneer stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and the Pioneer, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls.
