Auto EQ
It's difficult to reproduce music nicely in a car, because speaker positioning is constrained by interior space and other conditions. These limitations can lead to sound phase distortion, as well as speaker sound reflection against glass and absorption by dashboard and seats. Pioneer's exceptional Auto EQ function tailors particular musical characteristics according to your taste, and makes use of a microphone (the optional CD-M20) to monitor and analyze acoustics, then automatically fine-tunes all frequency bandwidths employing front and rear speaker digital parametric equalization. It's comparable to the setup feature on several home theaters, and will let you dial points in just perfect for your car.

Sonic Center Control
More audio obsessiveness from Pioneer--unless a listener is perfectly centered in a car cabin, sound heard from some speakers will lag compared to the sound heard from other speakers. This result in unfocused soundstage and instable frequency characteristics.

Consumer Reviews

Updated 9-16-11
NOTE that this assessment is for both the PIONEER AVH-P4300 and Pioneer CD-BTB200BT as I feel they are each a necessary for most users with phones especially IPhones.
Every person desires to hear how awesome this head unit is as it honestly is, and some want to know what flaws it might possibly have which it has. Keep in mind this is a private review my opinion. Let me start out by asking Pioneer...what is the sense of having such amazing iPhone and iPod compatibility and functionality devoid of having the most basic IPhone functionality? Making and receiving calls with seamless music interruption, and simple phonebook access). The PIONEER AVH-P4300 DVD is advertised with Bluetooth compatibility with the Pioneer CD-BTB200BT Bluetooth module, Whilst it might possibly be "compatible", there is a true lack of integration with the PIONEER AVH-P4300 DVD and CD-BTB200BT Bluetooth unit.
POSITIVES:
BLOOTOOTH:
Whilst pretty fundamental, it operates for incoming and outgoing calls most of the time.
Sound good quality from Bluetooth is rather beneficial.
INTERNAL PROGRAMMING / Integration / Sound Good quality:
The screen is responsive to touch with extremely tiny lag.
Fantastic navigation in music / video and all menus for settings.
Fine IPOD manage
APP Mode
Pandora integration
Auto EQ (setup microphone necessary)
5-band EQ
Able to output to a second screen utilizing two different sources or each screens to one particular source
Sounds rather decent with the help of Auto EQ and other settings or five band graphic EQ.
Outstanding soundstage and presence when the Auto EQ is utilized.
Great integration with IPOD / IPhone 4.
4V preamp outputs
Lots of connections on the back
7" screen is bright (appears to appear preferred when you turn on the black level in image adjustments)
You can transform the viewing angle
Plays DVD's
Bluetooth Audio Streaming has fairly excellent sound
This Head unit sounds absolutely wonderful when set up correct - even in a high finish component technique.
NEGATIVES / Bugs / Challenges:
BLOOTOOTH:
Each time Bluetooth connects - no sound till I disconnect and reconnect the iPhone or go into the streaming choice menu and pick the "Dock Connector" - even when BT Audio is set to manual - it connects still. FYI: There are two BT connection choices displayed on the iPhone four for the CD-BTB200, mine are referred to as "Pioneer BT unit2" (for audio streaming), the other is "Dock Connector" (for phone makes use of).
About half the time when I answer the phone on the head unit - it answers, but music is playing by way of the IPhone four earpiece along with the person I am trying to speak to - it is a discomfort to switch to the music supply and pause it, then switch back to the telephone screen so the person on the other end can hear me! (It's a lot easier to just unplug the CD-IU200V cable). This is not a trouble with the IPhone 4 - it is a trouble with the Pioneer CD-BTB200BT Bluetooth system - confirmed with a pioneer technician. I had a Sony MEX-BTB2800 (paid $109.00) which did all Bluetooth functions perfectly (the Sony MEX-BTB2800 is a especially simple head unit and does not compare to this Pioneer unit, but it has terrific Bluetooth integration compared to this). Pioneer also informed me that the CD-BTB200BT program is old technologies that was created about 5 years ago. No wonder there are so numerous problems with it!
Cannot appear to register extra than one particular Bluetooth device or juggle connections
No phonebook functions - unrecognizable / unusable call history / Bluetooth functions.
Can not dial from the screen or import your phone book or browse call history (I believe this does support last contact dialing, but there are no labels for the function buttons to use this and you can not see the number you're dialing on screen, etc.)
Audio Streaming is an important function for me so my family can stream from an IPAD or IPOD's, but I nonetheless need to use my telephone on Bluetooth - won't do both. Really should be in a position to juggle two connections. You have to fully disconnect a single to connect to a further...understandable, but there is no menu choice to do this intuitively. Also, the volume level for Bluetooth phone should really be separated from audio volume and remembered (like my low cost Sony unit did) so if you were listening to loud music and you get a call...the person on the other finish will be extremely loud until you turn the volume down.
General, the Pioneer AVH-P4300 has poor Bluetooth integration when used with the separately readily available CD-BTB200BT adapter. Top quality Bluetooth integration should be built in to all mobile units specially when advertised. Many electronics 5-six yrs. older have much better Bluetooth.
A different reviewer on AMAZON states "It boggles my thoughts how lesser Pioneer models like P3300BT have full Bluetooth phonebook support, and complete caller history, yet their alot more highly-priced line has only crippled Bluetooth." And I really feel the identical way - particularly when we paid so considerably a lot more with the CD-BTB200. Every person expects stellar functionality with a separate component like this - we paid significantly a lot more and got so a lot less functionality than the less expensive units with built in BT.
VIDEO:
IPhone four Video and audio is consistently out of sync a small - it can be a tiny annoying. In talking with a Pioneer technician, he told me of a programming sequence to transform from digital to analog mode that may perhaps resolve this problem, even so, at a (important) price to the sound reproduction in analog mode. The process is to start out with the ignition off, then push and hold each mode and eject buttons - holding them in while turning ignition on and waiting until you hear a single beep. The same process is supposed to be implemented to revert back to digital mode, but I could not get it to go back so I just reset the whole unit again with the reset button. I do not see this as an sufficient fix to the problem if it reduces the audio high quality. I attempted it and the sound was a bit lifeless, lacked punch, clarity and detail.
Whilst this unit will play videos from your iPhone though multitasking on the iPhone, it will quit playing video (but continues audio) for video files if you either close the screen that is open on your iPhone 4 when playing iPod/iPhone music videos/films, or if you turn off the phone display (mainly because it is as well bright at night) by touching the power button on the IPhone 4. There is a function about that will permit you to multitask on the iPhone four and will enable you to turn off your screen and nevertheless watch video Ahead of acquiring the video playing, close the iPod system on the telephone, then choose the video/movie track (from the Pioneer interface) by way of the video menu - now you can multitask and use other programs on your telephone, or you can turn off the display of your telephone even though playing videos or music from your iPhone. Given that it currently has the capability, I believe it should certainly be programmed to automatically play in the background.
The resolution of the screen is low, even compared to most high finish smartphones, and is just not sharp, even though the image excellent is still really excellent.
INTERNAL PROGRAMMING / Integration / Sound Quality:
NO MP4 assistance (SD) and decreased sound high quality from high high quality files on an SD card.
It is a little annoying that the unit will frequently start playing the identical song every time you connect the cable to the iPhone or IPOD (selected alphabetically). The AVH-P4300 does not remember what song or video it was final playing when you disconnect the CD-IU200V cable. By no means remembers exactly where you left off when working with IPOD control when you unplug. It need to function like Pandora on the iPhone or other electronics it begins exactly where you left off.
The AVH-P4300 does NOT have a flash chip or battery backup for all of you custom settings...so when you need to have to disconnect the battery, (which all of us occasionally require to do for service, etc.), all custom setup is LOST, which includes the Auto EQ setup, etc. It will be just like you bought the unit and just pulled it out of the box. No EQ settings or any customization is saved. This is a main discomfort in the A - especially if you have set up the Auto EQ. Tailoring the method to your tastes and setting up the Auto EQ once more will take about 15-20 minutes even when familiar with setup.
"Hiss" noise when moderate to heavy equalization is utilized - particularly Auto EQ. Despite the fact that this has a CEA2006 rating of 91dBA on the amplifier section, the preamp section with moderate to heavy EQ settings I could possibly guess could be in the 55-60 dB Signal to Noise range. The signal to noise rating is when applying no EQ adjustments. As soon as you start off to boost the EQ bands the hiss becomes worse. The hiss gets progressively worse the additional you enhance the band dB - even at low volume or typical listening levels. (do not confuse this with engine noise or external noise sources, as this is when the vehicle is off - also applying high good quality RCA cables which have superior than 60 dB noise rejection going to amps which are set to about half obtain Sources that produce the most hiss include things like Auto EQ, the 3 loudness settings, any of the Equalizer settings, (the "Powerful" EQ selection is worse), and the Sound Retriever (S.Rtrv). With all of these off or with mild use, you will have a rather quiet method with no hiss that draws consideration in quiet tracks or in-among tracks - acceptable even at high volumes.
If you use the Auto EQ, you cannot fine tune the outcomes with the 8-band graphic equalizer. So I like what the Auto EQ did, but would like to fine tune (on the graphic EQ) a couple frequency bands for a small extra treble and low end....can not do it unless you turn off the Auto EQ profile absolutely. What you can do while the Auto EQ profile is chosen is use the bass boost, decide on from three loudness settings that sound like they up the bass, midrange and treble at the identical time,...

I've had mine for a small more than a week, and it's fantastic. It makes my Mustang appear a lot nicer. I did not strategy on receiving the navigational method until later, as I normally know where I am going anyway (work + dwelling).
The screen is seriously great, and does not look as believed it will attrack fingerprints. The display is vibrant sufficient for the duration of the day time, which was some thing I was worried about. The touch controls perform fine. The Divx works superb. I have a ton of shows on Divx and they loaded just fine. DVDs play fantastic, and load rapidly. The music shuffles music from all folders on a disc. My last player only shuffled music within a folder, so this was a good improvement.
I haven't attempted the SD card, but I plan on loading a 32GB full of music and just keeping those songs in my auto as a permanant play list.
There's only a few points I did not like, but it really is not a substantial deal and nothing "incorrect" with the product. The album art only displays on Pandora/iPod devices. I have all of my MP3s setup with album art and none of my MP3's art on my burned DVD worked. Along with that is an concern with scrolling text, which is not a function of this product. So if you're listening to a band known as "The Presidents of the United States of America" (really good band, btw), you will only see a thing like "The Presidents of t" as it cuts the text off. It would have been great to see scrolling text.
The final complaint I have about this unit is the lack of MP4 assistance with out an iPod. Most of the music videos I have are in MP4 format. If you are preparing on getting this unit and have a ton of music videos to burn in this format, I'd recommend just using DivX's personal Convertor software (just check their webpage and purchase the Pro for unlimited converts). It manages to maintain points at a low file size whilst maintaining near-identical good quality video/audio. It really is also quick. I managed to convert over 45 music videos in under an hour.
General, a terrific DVD head unit that looks definitely fantastic.
