New Pioneer DMH-ZS8250BT

"Today's drivers live faster-paced lives,and need much more quality and convenience from their in-car entertainment systems-- so we designed our 2020 lineup of multimedia receivers specifically to meet those needs," said Mr. Ronald Lee,General Manager of Sales and Marketing Division,Pioneer Electronics Asia Centre. "Premium car entertainment features such Apple Carplay and Android Auto are now available and accessible to car drivers using the new Z-series multimedia receivers,along with the incredible convenience features and audio performance Pioneer users have come to know and love."

UPSIZE YOUR ENTERTAINMENT YOUR WAY WITH THE DMH-ZS8250BT

New to the Z-series family is the DMH-ZS8250BT,a top-of-the-line receiver sporting a large,8-inch display designed to provide drivers with a large,legible,and luxurious viewing experience. Navigation,communication and enjoying entertainment have never been easier-- and thanks to its 24-bit True Colour capacitive touchscreen,drivers can enjoy a rich viewing experience and interact with content onscreen effortlessly.

While designed primarily for driving convenience,the DMH-ZS8250BT is also easy to install – a new,innovative design allows drivers to set up the receiver in a single,double,or non-DIN configuration – with the new modular setup.

The DMH-ZS8250BT pushes the envelope not only in display quality and installation convenience,but audio performance too. It features new audio components,using premium high capacitance Polymer Multi-Layer Capacitors,redesigned circuit boards with low impedance parts,shielded audio signal circuitry,and an improved digital-to-analog converter. All this translates into a vast increase in audio quality,creating a signature sound with wider and clearer treble,deeper bass,and less distortion than what the industry has. This wider soundstage also enables drivers to customise the audio output through the receiver's 13-band graphic equaliser in a far deeper and more precise way than what could be achieved before.

NEW ENTERTAINMENT,CONNECTIVITY,AND CONVENIENCE FEATURES FOR 2020 AND BEYOND
