Audio/Video Efficiency
Dual-Zone Audio/Video
This receiver will allow rear seat passengers to enjoy DVD or CD content through extra rear screens and headphones, even while the front passenger and driver operate navigation or listen to audio from other sources simultaneously.
Auto EQ
It is tricky to reproduce music nicely in a automobile, simply because speaker positioning is constrained by interior space and other circumstances. These limitations can lead to sound phase distortion, as nicely as speaker sound reflection against glass and absorption by dashboard and seats. Pioneer's exceptional Auto EQ feature tailors precise musical characteristics according to your taste, and uses a microphone (the optional CD-M20) to monitor and analyze acoustics, then automatically fine-tunes all frequency bandwidths applying front and rear speaker digital parametric equalization. It is comparable to the setup function on quite a few home theaters, and will let you dial items in just suitable for your automobile.

Sonic Center Control
Even 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 outcome in unfocused soundstage and instable frequency characteristics. Sonic Center Manage remedies this by adjusting frequency phase and acoustic characteristics by up to 15 steps, supplying a clearer, focused soundstage.
Advanced Sound Retreiver
Hear the detail, warmth, and clarity that the artist originally wanted you to hear from compressed MP3, WMA and AAC files stored on disc, USB device, iPod/iPhone, and portable media players. Pioneer's Advanced Sound Retriever technology restores data (specifically high-frequency data) that tends to get lost in the digital compression procedure.
Eight-Band EQ

MOSFET Amplification

Just touch the cell phone icon in the receiver display for direct access to the Bluetooth display. Particular symbols will light up when a Bluetooth connection is established, and pairing is is easy and automatic. ten-important dialing via touchscreen is also now conceivable on Pioneer receivers.
Area to Develop
The AVH-P4300DVD gives you a amazing featureset to start with, but it really is prepared to expand to suit your needs. You can add Bluetooth as mentioned above, along with GPS navigation, satellite radio, HD radio, and a rear-view camera in a snap. Get started out massive, go larger.

Buyer Reviews

Updated 9-16-11
NOTE that this assessment is for both the PIONEER AVH-P4300 and Pioneer CD-BTB200BT as I really feel they are each a required for most users with phones especially IPhones.
Absolutely everyone wants to hear how outstanding this head unit is as it seriously is, and some want to know what flaws it may have which it has. Maintain in mind this is a personal evaluation my opinion. Let me commence by asking Pioneer...what is the sense of getting such terrific iPhone and iPod compatibility and functionality with out having the most fundamental IPhone functionality? Making and receiving calls with seamless music interruption, and standard phonebook access). The PIONEER AVH-P4300 DVD is advertised with Bluetooth compatibility with the Pioneer CD-BTB200BT Bluetooth module, Even though it may well be "compatible", there is a true lack of integration with the PIONEER AVH-P4300 DVD and CD-BTB200BT Bluetooth unit.
POSITIVES:
BLOOTOOTH:
Even though incredibly fundamental, it operates for incoming and outgoing calls most of the time.
Sound top quality from Bluetooth is extremely excellent.
INTERNAL PROGRAMMING / Integration / Sound Good quality:
The screen is responsive to touch with fairly little lag.
Amazing navigation in music / video and all menus for settings.
Decent IPOD control
APP Mode
Pandora integration
Auto EQ (setup microphone necessary)
5-band EQ
Able to output to a second screen using two diverse sources or both screens to one particular supply
Sounds really good with the aid of Auto EQ and other settings or five band graphic EQ.
Fantastic soundstage and presence when the Auto EQ is used.
Beneficial integration with IPOD / IPhone four.
4V preamp outputs
Lots of connections on the back
7" screen is bright (seems to look ideal when you turn on the black level in picture adjustments)
You can modify the viewing angle
Plays DVD's
Bluetooth Audio Streaming has quite good sound
This Head unit sounds certainly incredible when set up right - even in a high end component technique.
NEGATIVES / Bugs / Issues:
BLOOTOOTH:
Every time Bluetooth connects - no sound till I disconnect and reconnect the iPhone or go into the streaming choice menu and choose the "Dock Connector" - even when BT Audio is set to manual - it connects nonetheless. FYI: There are two BT connection options displayed on the iPhone 4 for the CD-BTB200, mine are referred to as "Pioneer BT unit2" (for audio streaming), the other is "Dock Connector" (for phone utilizes).
About half the time when I answer the phone on the head unit - it answers, but music is playing via the IPhone 4 earpiece along with the individual I am trying to speak to - it's a discomfort to switch to the music supply and pause it, then switch back to the telephone screen so the individual on the other end can hear me! (It is much easier to just unplug the CD-IU200V cable). This is not a issue with the IPhone four - it is a issue 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 really fundamental head unit and does not evaluate to this Pioneer unit, but it has good Bluetooth integration compared to this). Pioneer also informed me that the CD-BTB200BT system is old technologies that was designed about five years ago. No wonder there are so numerous complications with it!
Can not appear to register a lot more than a single 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 consider this does assistance last call dialing, but there are no labels for the function buttons to use this and you can't see the number you are dialing on screen, and so on.)
Audio Streaming is an necessary function for me so my family can stream from an IPAD or IPOD's, but I still need to have to use my telephone on Bluetooth - won't do both. Should be in a position to juggle 2 connections. You have to fully disconnect one particular to connect to yet another...understandable, but there is no menu selection to do this intuitively. Also, the volume level for Bluetooth phone need to be separated from audio volume and remembered (like my low-priced Sony unit did) so if you had been listening to loud music and you get a call...the individual on the other end will be incredibly loud until you turn the volume down.
Overall, the Pioneer AVH-P4300 has poor Bluetooth integration when utilised with the separately readily available CD-BTB200BT adapter. Excellent Bluetooth integration should certainly be built in to all mobile units specially when advertised. Countless electronics five-6 yrs. older have much better Bluetooth.
One other reviewer on AMAZON states "It boggles my mind how lesser Pioneer models like P3300BT have complete Bluetooth phonebook help, and complete caller history, but their a lot more pricey line has only crippled Bluetooth." And I feel the exact same way - specifically when we paid so significantly more with the CD-BTB200. Every person expects stellar functionality with a separate component like this - we paid much additional and got so substantially less functionality than the more affordable units with built in BT.
VIDEO:
IPhone four Video and audio is continually out of sync a tiny - it can be a little annoying. In talking with a Pioneer technician, he told me of a programming sequence to transform from digital to analog mode that might resolve this issue, however, at a (significant) cost to the sound reproduction in analog mode. The procedure is to commence with the ignition off, then push and hold both mode and eject buttons - holding them in although turning ignition on and waiting till you hear a single beep. The very 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 once more with the reset button. I do not see this as an adequate fix to the predicament if it reduces the audio quality. I attempted it and the sound was a bit lifeless, lacked punch, clarity and detail.
Even though this unit will play videos from your iPhone although 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 four though playing iPod/iPhone music videos/movies, or if you turn off the telephone display (simply because it is as well vibrant at night) by touching the power button on the IPhone 4. There is a work around that will enable you to multitask on the iPhone four and will enable you to turn off your screen and still watch video Just before getting the video playing, close the iPod program on the telephone, then select the video/movie track (from the Pioneer interface) through the video menu - now you can multitask and use other programs on your phone, or you can turn off the display of your phone although playing videos or music from your iPhone. Considering that it already has the capability, I think it must be programmed to automatically play in the background.
The resolution of the screen is low, even compared to most high end smartphones, and is just not sharp, although the picture quality is nonetheless particularly good.
INTERNAL PROGRAMMING / Integration / Sound Excellent:
NO MP4 help (SD) and decreased sound top quality from high high quality files on an SD card.
It is a tiny annoying that the unit will in most cases begin playing the exact same song each and 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. Never remembers exactly where you left off when utilizing IPOD manage when you unplug. It should operate like Pandora on the iPhone or other electronics it starts 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 will need to disconnect the battery, (which all of us occasionally require to do for service, and so on.), all custom setup is LOST, which includes the Auto EQ setup, and so on. 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 pain in the A - especially if you have set up the Auto EQ. Tailoring the program 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 used - in particular Auto EQ. Even though 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 utilizing no EQ adjustments. As soon as you start off to enhance the EQ bands the hiss becomes worse. The hiss gets progressively worse the a lot more you improve the band dB - even at low volume or average listening levels. (don't confuse this with engine noise or external noise sources, as this is when the auto is off - also employing high quality RCA cables which have superior than 60 dB noise rejection going to amps which are set to about half gain Sources that build the most hiss consist of 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 extremely quiet technique with no hiss that draws focus 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't do it unless you turn off the Auto EQ profile fully. What you can do although the Auto EQ profile is chosen is use the bass increase, pick out from three loudness settings that sound like they up the bass, midrange and treble at the similar time,...

I've had mine for a little over a week, and it is ideal. It tends to make my Mustang appear a lot nicer. I didn't plan on finding the navigational program until later, as I typically know exactly where I am going anyway (perform + residence).
The screen is honestly nice, and does not look as thought it will attrack fingerprints. The display is vibrant enough for the duration of the day time, which was a thing I was worried about. The touch controls work fine. The Divx operates excellent. I have a ton of shows on Divx and they loaded just fine. DVDs play perfect, and load quick. The music shuffles music from all folders on a disc. My last player only shuffled music within a folder, so this was a nice improvement.
I haven't tried the SD card, but I program on loading a 32GB complete of music and just keeping those songs in my auto as a permanant play list.
There is only a handful of issues I did not like, but it's not a enormous deal and nothing "wrong" 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 problem with scrolling text, which is not a feature of this product. So if you happen to be listening to a band known as "The Presidents of the United States of America" (good band, btw), you will only see one thing like "The Presidents of t" as it cuts the text off. It would have been good to see scrolling text.
The last complaint I have about this unit is the lack of MP4 support with no an iPod. Most of the music videos I have are in MP4 format. If you are preparing on shopping for this unit and have a ton of music videos to burn in this format, I'd recommend just using DivX's own Convertor software program (just check their web-site and purchase the Pro for unlimited converts). It manages to keep items at a low file size while keeping close to-same high quality video/audio. It's also rapid. I managed to convert over 45 music videos in below an hour.
General, a superb DVD head unit that looks seriously fine.
