PIONEER DEH-4200SD
Your music, your way.
iPhone, iPod, SD-card, USB device, MP3 player or CD: enjoy your music collection on the road, however it’s stored.
The SD slot is discreetly hidden behind the front panel which is closed again when the card is in place. You can use both SD and SDHC cards.
Connect your USB storage device to the high-speed input on the front of the unit.
Plug and play your portable MP3 player via the auxiliary input (also on the front) or enjoy tunes from your iPod and iPhone: a standard iPod to USB cable is all you need.
The audio can be tuned to your tastes through the 5-band graphic equaliser. It allows you to adjust the equalisation to match the distinct interior acoustic characteristics of your car.
All functions are managed through the Rotary Commander, which works like a joystick: essential for browsing your audio files.
Should you require extra muscle, 3 RCA pre-outs are available, so you can boost your in-car setup with additional amplifiers, subwoofers and speakers.
