This description was written in 2006 found online.
I bought this stereo off of a guy that said that he tested everything and that it worked. However, it was in a lot of 25 additional radios and I’ve sold two of them so far and one of them came back as not working, so I am changing the description of this item to Not working/for parts only because I’m unsure as to whether it actually works or not.
DEH-P770MP plays your MP3 and WMA files. This gives you huge flexibility with the types of music you can play and the sources that your music can come from. Each CD-R or CD-RW disc you burn has the capacity to hold up to ten complete albums of MP3 music and twenty for AAC/WMA discs. 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 this player supports ID3 Tags and AAC/WMA text, which display artist, title, track and album information, just like your computer. Digital Speedread2 mechanism speeds up track-to-track access, cutting down on the wait time. It can actually access an MP3 file faster than most receivers access a CD-Audio file.
7-Way Rotary Commander is like a musical joystick: with one central dial you can actually control 90% of the unit's functions and features. Scrolling through your MP3/WMA files and folders is now way easier.
DEH-P770MP's new "cool blue" OEL (Organic Electro-Luminescent) display lets you customize the look of your dash with color and motion. It comes with two screensaver movies (Dolphin Jigsaw and Circuit Board), 4 background animations, 4 background pictures, two level indicators, level meters, and even a battery voltage display! This display also provides you with more music information. For viewing MP3 information, the DEH-P770MP 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… Plus the rest will auto-scroll (up to 64 characters total!). That means that you can see most artists' full names, not some funky abbreviation.
This newest version of Pioneer's tuner technology takes FM and AM radio performance to a new level. Called Supertuner III D +, it delivers significant improvement in the following areas:
1. Cancels FM multi-path noise often found in downtown areas. Multi-path noise occurs when an FM signal is reaching your vehicle multiple times; once directly from the transmitter and again as a reflection from a tall building. Now that reflected signal is eliminated, for a much cleaner signal.
2. Cancels AM noise, which can occur when you're driving where the AM signal is weakest.
3. Improves sensitivity, locking in on the signals from your selected stations
4. Improves the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and decreases distortion, especially when the signal is weak. The result is a higher-quality signal.
Whether you like music on FM, talk radio on AM, news, or sports, Supertuner III D + will further improve your listening experience.
The Two-Way Crossover Adjustment is a convenient tool for tailoring your sound — and your subwoofer's levels. Right from your headunit, you can adjust your High-Pass Filter, which will protect your front and rear speakers from power-robbing deep bass notes. Now, use the Subwoofer adjustments to make sure your bass performance has the kick you like. In fact, you can just hit the new Subwoofer Direct button to fine tune the settings at any time!
Hi-Volt (4V) Pre-Outs - If you decide to connect an amplifier to the DEH-P770MP, 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.
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 Premier DEH-P770MP 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.
