I recently bought to you the Pioneer AVH-X7500BT Single-DIN Multimedia DVD Receiver and I have a question about that stereo: I can listen to music, radio for example, without the screen outside, or the screen has to be outside all the time when the stereo is on? Thanks a lot.

Can listen without screen. Should come with a remote for full functionality without the screen open. Great radio!

I just want to know two things:1) will it fit my 1998 Crown Victoria interceptor - it seems somewhat questionable, though it IS dual DIN.2) Can I hook the aux AV in to a rear mounted camera for an additional view when backing up?Yes, I work in law enforcement, but opinion wise, I think it should be allowed foor a driver to lsiten to a movie while the passenger watches. That is a personal responsibility issue when tehe screen is within view of the driver, but the law is the law, and it needs to be changed before I listen while driving with the screen in view. Too bad, I like to listen to movies on long road trips. I actually like that better than music alone.

Most vehicles are built with a disabling function so you can not view videos or even google map type apps from the screen due to safety issues. You may find an installer willing to put in an over-ride switch, as I did, but getting to the video/map takes so much time and steps I found it's just not worth it. Also, my vehicle required wires to hang out of dash which I now find annoying. It plays music and even will store photos, which is cool. All in all, I am still very happy with the quality of the player and hands free calling is very easy. Hope this was helpful :)

I can't find anything in the big manual I printed out that says it has XM. this is my second Pioneer Elite A/V Receiver, My first one was a VSX-39TX and if I remember right they came out with built in XM right after that. I think since Pioneer teamed up with Apple and their AIR System that they might have discontinued putting XM in their receivers. I hope that helps you out. Tim

I'm with the others on this... Doesn't sound like it. I'm surprised the DVD player only has the AV options you speak of.

I have it connected to my receiver, and thence to my speakers. I can't say authoritatively, but it seems to me to send music to the receiver as well as an HDMI cable. But let me emphasize that if you walk in front of or obstruct the direct line of sight in any way, the sound will stutter and skip, whether it's music or TV/movie.

Hi there, if you have your tv and movies also attached via digital or optical audio, you will get 5.1 surround on your system if it is broadcast in 5.1. If you want equal sound from all speakers, as 7.1 and 5.1 are quite discrete and are only truly noticeable when movement or something like a loud explosion occurs, then cycle through the audio options of the receiver until you find the mode that gives the sound you are looking for. I usually set my receiver to DVD direct and it will send sound as recorded on the DVD. If you want other modes, look in the manual under the different audio modes and pick the one you like best. I hope that helps a bit and doesn't add to the confusion. True HD, I believe is only sent over HDMI that carries both video and audio. I may be wrong, and digital or audio will do this also. I have had the pleasure of DTS experience through 7.1 and it is incredible. Haven't played with True HD yet. you may want to check out AVS forums for more understanding of HT.

It responds to sound, so if you have a stereo playing whatever you want it will react to the noise coming out of the speakers. The unit itself doesnt actually play music.

Hi Bill,I bought one of these awhile back. It has 2 regular red and whites for input, one specified for aux and one DVD, and there is one regular out if you wanted to route to another receiver. Hope this helps.Thanks,Sam

Sorry, but I was NOT happy with the Pioneer unit, and returned it for a Yamaha. My advice: Get a Yamaha! I have 2 now, and they work flawlessly.

Hi Tom,I've done everything you said and that I can think of and still no dice. So I'm done trying to figure it out. I used to get pretty good surround from the the TV programs that are broadcast HD 5.1 but it seems to be gone also. I have to say that the despite all this, it does sound pretty good if stereo is what I was going for. Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it.Take care,Dennis

thanks, now I'm not concerned anymore to have Pioneer next to my plasma. I was considered Sony too, are they really bad comparing to Pioneer?Thank you

I know this is a late response, but here goes. I too wanted to find an alternative to connecting my iPod from the front of the AVH-P3300BT, but no dice. I contacted the Pioneer Electronics and asked whether the CD-I200 was compatible with the radio. And I was told, "No." So, then I sent another email asking if Pioneer made a product that would connect to the back of the AVH-P3300BT via the IP Bus connection on the back of the radio. The return response was from a person named Gill from Customer Service. He said, "Unfortunately, an i-Pod interface which connects to the back of this unit is not available. All i-Pod operations must be performed using the connections on the front of the radio." So, I am sorry to say the ability to connect the iPod from the back of the radio is not currently available. :-(

It didn't work for me. I have the avh-x3500bt and when I try to play a video the screen stills black. It works just for playing music

I believe that it means there is no signal receiver in the unit to receive TV signals from an outside source. The unit can play back prerecorded media like DVDs and VCR tapes, but it can't record or play from cable/satellite signals.

T. Tran, I picked the Marantz product because it matches the sound quality that I am looking for in a reciever. I almost had a chance to own one back in 2003 but instead I end up taking home a Pioneer Elite (THX) reciever. The Pioneer was powerful but it was not as clean sounding as the Marantz I have now. I love watching movies and listening to 2 channel music as well. This Marantz served that purpose. I paired it with the Marantz CD005 and its been a delight to listen. I am very happy with these units. I have not hooked up the internet so I can't tell you how the system perform online.
