PIONEER DEH-P8600MP CD/MP3/WMA/WAV CAR STEREO MSRP:$499

  DEH-P8600MP Audio Customisation by DSP, Motorised Frontpanel with colour OEL MSRP:$499
I am selling this unit as-is. The deck is in good cosmetic condition, the only problem with the deck itself is the motorized front panel. It gets stuck when attempting to eject a cd. Every function on the deck works except the cd player. Once in a while i can get a cd in there and it plays fine. This was a very expensive deck when it first came out and i am hoping somebody will be able to use this wonderful deck and maybe even fix the motorized moving panel. In my opinion  this is one the nicest/cleanest looking decks i have seen on the market, also features a full color moving display and the ability to upload images for backgrounds.

Outstanding sound quality is the focus of this classically rendered yet high-tech headunit. Personal sound tuning results from the new built-in DSP with a high-quality Burr Brown 1-bit DAC with 24-bit resolution, Auto Time Alignment feature, and an Auto EQ. Auto Scroll Text loops extra long titles - up to 64 characters - across the impressive Colour Organic EL display, which can be customised using Pioneer's OEL Screensaver Studio. Users can take advantage of the 3 Hi-Volt pre-outs to set-up the sound system of their dreams. Practical features range from the logical roll of the rotary dial to a straightforward 10-key remote control. Playback compatibility consists of CD-R / CD-RW, MP3, WMA, and WAV. Fans of WMA and MP3 will appreciate Folder & File List Search for fast and easy song retrieval.

MP3 and WMA Playback
Don't let your favorite music downloads languish on your computer hard drive. Burn them to a CD-R or CD-RW and play them on one of our MP3 and WMA compatible headunits. Each disc you burn has the capacity to hold up to ten complete albums of MP3 music and twenty for WMA discs. Trust us, that's a lot of music. And since these CDs hold so much data, you'll be happy to know that Pioneer MP3 headunits also include a random play mode. You'll also be pleasantly surprised to find that our players support ID3 Tags and WMA text, which display artist, title, track and album information, just like your computer.

Multicolor OEL Display with Screensavers
The DEH-P8600MP’s Multicolor OEL (Organic Electroluminescent) display lets you customize the look of your dash with color and motion. It can actually play movies, animations, and pictures. It comes with screensaver movies, a level indicator, background animations, and background pictures. Customize your screen with fresh background pictures or screensavers, or create your own from your digital pictures or home movies, using the FREE Pioneer OEL Screensaver Studio software!  Just download Pioneer’s free OEL Screensaver Studio software and follow the easy instructions. 

This display also provides you with way more music information. For viewing MP3 information, the DEH-P8600MP supports both ID3v1 tags and the more current ID3v2. Up to 16 characters can be shown on the display at one time, vs. 8-10 characters on most competitors’ models… meaning that you can see most artists’ full names, not some funky abbreviation.

Auto-Flap Motorized Face
Loading a CD into the Auto-Flap Motorized Face is actually fun. Push the OPEN button and the motorized face plate slides out of the way to expose the CD slot, and back again when the CD’s loaded. Just for fun, do it again. And when you leave the vehicle, the face can go with you. Just push the OPEN button, pull the face toward you, and pop it into the included face case. And out you go. Another advantage with this design: the face protects the CD slot from dust.

Auto EQ
Finding the "sweet spot", or optimal listening position, is complicated by sound's reflection and damping, as well as variable speaker positioning in the irregular shaped confines of a car.  Such conditions tend to degrade frequency characteristics.  Auto EQ automatically fine-tunes the entire range of the music's frequency bandwidth, using 13-band graphic equalization for front and rear speakers. Simply plug in the included microphone and let the frequency band fine-tuning go to work.  It;s like having a sound engineer customize your in-car sound system.

Auto Time Alignment
Pioneer's innovative Auto Time Alignment automatically shifts the soundstage in front of the listeners, bringing out the vocals in the process, to create the optimal in-car reproduction of your music.  Using the included microphone, it estimates the delay from each speaker to the listening position and adjusts the speaker sound output timing accordingly. The output timing for each speaker is adjusted precisely so that the sound from each speaker, wherever it is installed, reaches the driver's ears at the same time, thus optimizing the listening experience.

Hi-Volt (4V) Pre-Outs
If you decide to connect an amplifier to the DEH-P8600MP, its three Hi-Volt (4V) pre-outs will deliver a clean, powerful signal path. The higher the volts that a pre-out provides, the better the signal strength to your amp, and then your amp doesn’t have to work as hard. These Hi-Volt pre-outs help give you better dynamics, crisper highs, and big, deep bass.

BMX (Bit Media eXpander) Digital Enhancement
Compressed file formats such as MP3 and WMA are now as common as the Internet. But there are people who feel that compressed music sounds thin, flat and short of depth. This is because the data representing a delicate sound barely over the threshold of perception is essentially ignored during compression.
To correct this common problem, Pioneer developed BMX technology. BMX studies what's left of the delicate sound frequencies that are usually ignored and makes the necessary adjustments. This improves the shape and overall depth of sound, which results in enjoyment to the ears, especially in the noisy car environment.
- BMX1 enhances the depth and width of the sound field, making music sound really lively.
- BMX2 improves the sense of presence.

Satellite Radio Ready? Ready.
Satellite Radio. It’s digital, high-quality programming beamed from satellites. And the signal that doesn’t fade, no matter where you drive. It offers commercial-free music of nearly every genre, plus talk, news, sports, weather, and more. There are two companies that offer this great product — XM Radio and Sirius Satellite Radio — and the DEH-P8600MP is compatible with both of these subscription-based services. So you choose. You’ll just need a Pioneer digital satellite tuner to match the satellite service you select.

iPod Adapter Ready!
Attention current and future iPod owners: this deck can be your gateway to taking your iPod music collection on the road! The new Pioneer CD-IB100 iPod Adapter is now available to add to your Pioneer headunit. Once you connect this adapter, you can control your iPod through the headunit and even view album, artist, and other music info on its display. The Pioneer iPod adapter powers your iPod and even re-charges its internal battery. Just think: now you can play all of your iPod tunes via a powerful Pioneer mobile audio system!
