Pioneer DEH-P740MP CD/MP3 Player

An impressive combination of brains and brawn, the DEH-P740MP is a high-end musical instrument. It features our MOSFET50 power chip and two great equalizing tools: a 3-band parametric Easy EQ and Sound Focus EQ, which allow you to shape music to fit your vehicle. It's XM Ready, and its flap face features a bright, easy-to-read Organic EL display. Four kinds of CD playback are possible: CD Audio, CD-RW, CD-R, and your MP3 CD's, and it's CD-changer-ready. The DEH-P740 provides Hi-Volt RCA pre-outs (3 pair), TV tuner control, and a slim remote. The Premier two-year warranty applies.

* Directory Structure: Up to 8 Layers (sub-folders) with a maximum total of 253 folders supported.
* Sampling Frequency (MP3): Can play MP3 files that have been recorded with sampling frequency of 16,22.05,24,32,44.1 or 48kHz.
* Bit Rates: Can play MP3 files that have been recorded with constant bit rate (16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320kbps) or Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compression (16 to 320kbps).
* Multi-Session: Multi-Session recorded discs are supported.
* Mixed Mode: Mixed Mode CD's include both a CD-Audio recorded portion and a CD-ROM (i.e. MP3 files) recorded portion. This unit will play back all CD-Audio portions of any multi-session mixed mode discs. The CD-ROM data (ex. MP3 files) will not be accessible.
* Resume: MP3 playback will automatically resume from the previous point if the unit is turned off or switched to another source.
* Folder Access: Use the Up/Down Cross-Keys to move between folders.
* File Search: Use the Right/Left Cross-Keys to skip between tracks (songs). There will be a short pause while the unit loads the track tag information and buffers.
* Fast Forward/Reverse: Press & hold the Right/Left Cross-Keys to fast-forward or -reverse through a track. No audio is played, but the PlayTime indicator will show the elapsed time of the current track (note: Variable Bit Rate (VBR) files may not show the correct time).
* Random (Folder/Disc): Folder: Plays all the files in the folder in random order. Disc: Plays all the files on the disc in a random order - each new song will be a random track from a random folder. Limitation: Disc should have less than 512 files to have a full random function. In case of a disc with more than 513 files only the previous 10 files are memorized and avoided to be repeated due to the memory capacity.
* Repeat (File/Folder): Allows you to repeat the current file, or playback only within the current folder.
* Scan (File/Folder): Plays the first 10 seconds of each file in the folder or on the disc.
* Display Capability:
    o This unit can display the PlayTime Indicator, Bit Rate, or the first 16 letters only of Folder Name, File Name, Track Title, Artist Name and Album Title. When the recorded information is longer than 16 letters, you can scroll the text to the left so that the rest of the title can be seen. Press the DISPlay key to switch between display modes.
    o Text Data: The File Name and Folder Names (up to 32 bytes) can be displayed.
    o ID3 Tag Display: This unit supports ID3 v1.0 and v1.1 tags for MP3 files. It can display the Track Title, Artist Name or Album Title (up to 30 bytes). If specific ID3 tag information has not been recorded on a MP3 disc, "no xxxx" will be displayed (e.g., "no artist").
