[QUOTE="4wd, post: 1057106, member: 393358"] Got this discarded Pioneer for free, from 2012, was meant for the bin. Sad to see so much fine electronics and mechanics just thrown away, strange society we live in. Quickly realized it could be a very++ practical little box: USB, Bluetooth, 2 analog in, video in and out, cd and dvd. Got a suitable power supply (which also runs a vu+ which' psu went dead with a bang :O) and now it's working great for bluetooth from pc & phones and does tv\sat sound, and plays usb mp3's. The video out from sat receiver shows on the screen, with 'nearly' correct image proportions. The drawback with car stereo, needs a constant 12v on one of the power connections so as to not lose all settings, so for momentarily powering down the main 12v one needs to plan for an extra 12v source or some battery. Am really enjoying just looking at this little wonderbox on the table at my cottage, does so much and for free :O) If I keep it in service, will sort out better cabling etc. For the moment all well as it is. Sound perfectly ok for my current use and speakers, powerful eq and loudness makes it possible to tailor audio for any source' condition, not looking for the perfect pure audio, just wants music to be "sounding good" [/QUOTE]
