What is RDS?

RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for providing information along with FM broadcasts. This inaudible information provides such features as program service name, program type, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tuning, intended to aid radio listeners in finding and tuning in to a desired station.

No preset number appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from the data for the originally stored station. Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during an AF frequency search. When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station, the AF indicator flashes. The AF function can be turned on or off independently for each FM band.

Intelligent Automatic Re-routeing
If you take a wrong turn or leave the programmed route, the improved Intelligent Automatic Re-routeing automatically notices and immediately recalculates a new route to your destination intelligently! This new smart feature adapts its re-routeing strategy based on your previous driving behaviour. For example, the DVD Cyber Navi computer will be able to evaluate whether you missed the turn, left the route deliberately, or decided to take a shortcut. The system then recalculates the route in line with your established driving habits. You wont lose any time getting back on track Pioneers automatic re-routeing features are not only intelligent, but SUPERfast!
Intelligent Automatic Re-routeing (GUI design not final)
DVD navigation features valid only when connected to a touch panel display, are indicated with the touch panel ready logo.

DVD Navigation Guidance

With Pioneers DVD Cyber Navi units, you can choose from 4 guidance modes: Pioneers original Drivers View mode which shows a highly visual 3-D driving perspective; Map mode; Map/Arrow mode; and Street List mode new for 2003. All modes offer equally precise mapping and information data. Street List mode is created for touch panel display and shows a minimum of 2 arrows with the corresponding street names. In any mode, except Drivers View, you can opt for a more detailed map using the Automatic Intersection Zoom function. Another new feature you get when you combine your AVIC Cyber Navi unit with a touch panel display, is the Motorway Exit Number guidance: it facilitates motorway driving by indicating the next exit number to take. While you are driving, the touch panel stays interactive. All you need to do is touch an onscreen button or icon to retrieve extra information.
Built-in TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
Both of Pioneers new DVD Cyber Navi Units have a built-in TMC (Traffic Message Channel) receiver covering a 100 km radius. This means they can pick up and handle traffic reports better than ever. If your navigation unit gets word of an upcoming traffic jam or traffic event that could cause a delay, it offers you a selection of alternative routes circumventing the problem, so you can make an informed choice. A special menu function lists all the current traffic events in the area so you always know whats coming up.

The built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processor) offers powerful sound tuning features so you can adjust the sound stage to your personal taste. The Multi-channel Auto EQ feature tailors specific musical characteristics according to your cars acoustics and automatically fine-tunes across the entire frequency bandwidth range. Automatic Time Alignment makes sure you are set for a perfect listening experience: it automatically estimates the differences in delay from each speaker to the listening position and adjusts the speaker sound output timing accordingly so that the sound from each speaker reaches your ears at the same time.

Win-Win Audio with WMA (Windows Media Audio)
An upcoming acronym in in-car entertainment today is WMA the music compression format developed by Microsoft. It uses the latest coding technologies to compress an original audio track, minimising file sizes while maintaining good audio quality even at rates as low as 64 Kb/sec. In subjective testing, it is widely agreed that at low bit rates, WMA offers better sound quality than MP3 recorded at the same data rates. This means that WMA allows you to put more files of a certain sound quality on a CD, or to put the same number of files but of a higher sound quality compared to MP3. It is also expected that the distribution of WMA format files over the Internet will become increasingly popular. Pioneers WMA products support all standard compression rates (48 Kbps ~ 192 Kbps) as well as the WMA text format*. Those familiar with WMA will be pleased to discover that Pioneers new WMA headunits** come equipped with a new CD mechanism that enhances the convenience of WMA playback. A double-speed CD player speeds up track access; extra-fast access to the disc is possible simply by turning off the WMA Text function. Play order is improved so that the tracks are played in a more logical order, folder by folder. Additionally, file navigation is enhanced so you can find the track you want to listen to more easily. Rough Search allows skipping ahead or back 10 files in a folder. On the DEH-P7500MP, Folder Search allows navigation among different folders, without having to stop playing the current track. Moreover, Pioneers new WMA players* support WMA Ver. 8 features on Series 9 recorded files, but do not support the Lossless Audio Format, VBR files or other new Series 9 features.

* Pioneer WMA/MP3 players do not support files written in Packet mode (UDF format). ** DEH-P77MP, DEH-P7500MP, DEH-P5500MP and DEH-P5530MP.
