Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. today introduces its first in-dash navigation systems that allow drivers to stay connected to social networks, local searches and traffic services while keeping their focus on the road. At a time when consumers can take their personal devices with them virtually anywhere, including the automobile, Pioneer is helping to make it easier and safer to integrate these devices into the car environment.

"Smartphones are ideal personal devices, although they can sometimes be cumbersome to use in the car. As the leader in aftermarket automotive technologies, Pioneer has made an unwavering commitment to safety by seamlessly incorporating these devices into the dash," said Ted Cardenas, director of marketing for the car electronics division of Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. "Consumers today always want to be 'connected' and are using their smartphone devices to do this while on the go. By providing a larger touchscreen unit installed in the dash that features a user interface specifically designed for the automotive environment and complemented by voice control features, we reduce the risk of distraction while driving."
Aha Radio-Pioneer's 2011 line of in-dash navigation models are the first to conveniently connect drivers to the world around them with on-demand, interactive, personalized radio. Via an iPhone(tm) with the free Aha Radio(r) Mobile App connected to the new AVIC systems, users can listen to the latest traffic conditions on their current road or commute road, listen to Facebook and Twitter updates, access hundreds of podcasts and other services such as the "Hungry" and "Coffee" stations which deliver real-time vicinity search results and directions to preferred restaurant categories listed on Yelp. Aha Radio offers over 100 content and podcast stations that can be conveniently accessed and controlled directly on the display of the Pioneer system. App Mode
Pioneer's App Mode feature, which can be accessed only when the vehicle is in park and the hand brake is fully engaged, lets users view a connected iPhone's video content from Safari, YouTube and other select apps* directly on the larger 6.1-inch or 7-inch high resolution screen.
Pandora-Pioneer was the first aftermarket manufacturer to offer fully integrated in-dash touchscreen control of Pandora internet radio streamed through a connected iPhone. Pandora access is available in both new-for-2011 navigation systems and has also been extended into the 2011 Audio/Video Receiver and CD Player categories. All Pandora enabled units display the currently playing album, artist and song information, while Navigation and Audio/Video Receivers also add album art display. The Pandora interface features full control of station selection, track info, and thumbs-up and thumbs-down feedback options.

Do dolby Home Theater v4: what nouveantés for this fourth version? -DvdCritiques.com
On the application of new laptops, Dolby PC entertainment in version 4 experience, were invited by the English Dolby, company of San Francisco, known for their encodings used in the film and the equipment available on any DVD or Blu - ray.This invitation was to enable us to situation on a computer with this platform Dolby PC entertainment, what has been achieved simply but effectively.Dolby in the (real) principle that "consumers hui strongly use your PC as a platform for entertainment." (C) "is true for gaming, multimedia creation, video (films or movies, erection… reading) and, of course, music games (through sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, sites of type Deezer or Spotify or compressed files during transmission.)"
Having said that, clearly the sound through the small speakers of fidelity lack of PC (not counting a frequency response ridiculous) and it is a representation through an amplifier of music or home theater. Note that for demonstration, the team was only connected in much higher range of equipment based on an amp iiyama-tuner and speakers of b & W.If I speak from experience based on a new computer (an Acer reference in this case), that the Dolby PC entertainment experience platform is not a software layer that can be purchased online or in the merchant of the cornerIt is what is called an OEMdiseñado software exclusively for computer manufacturers who organize their hardware implementation. Dolby has remained vague in trade mark matters may offer this platform, you have monitor products of cards if you are interested.
Dolby is already in the fourth generation of Dolby PC entertainment and this time Dolby said we have developed a completely new set of technologies of digital signal processing. Version 4 (CESP v4) of the Dolby PC entertainment experience! In fact must be understood that Dolby has still worked in the Noctua models and their algorithms and cognitive auditory perception. We are well here in the heart of knowledge to the company.CESP v4 is composed of modules, v4 Dolby Home Theater and Dolby Advanced Audio v2. Dolby Home Theater side v4 creates a sequence of stereo surround or surround sound. The interest of its use is sound for music and downloaded video sources without relief, see realism to talk about his film. Dolby did a braided us not stating in the preamble of their demonstrations that much of the content generated by users of Internet is mixed wrong, resulting in a thumping sound dialogue and unintelligible. In addition to often there are extreme variations in the levels of volume among the different pieces recovered here and there.
"" The idea is, therefore, clear and in fact widely used in home cinema amplifiers, to give to the "" FIFO", clarity and a dynamic revival for the files of which the sound is flat, see anemic after his mode of compression and the age of the soundtrack".The demonstrations organized by Dolby fully demonstrated that you we can act "intelligently" in different frequency bands, knowing that in all cases it's match signal source and transform it. Bet, however if the sources are so bad that we're not a sound for pure sound, originally d files is not totally of CD or DVD you purchased and that these material I / software does not hinder him.
The following two examples of the interface to manage the different options proposed by DolbyThen will be looking for the details of the functions offered by Dolby, as you can see these functions are shared by two challenges, the first approach rather optimize the content, the second to propose optimized restitution according to your preferences.
Close-up of Dolby Home Theater v4 (data Dolby)
The following features in the Dolby Home Theater suite v4 have been designed to meet the challenges associated with the content:• Surround decoding: creates a surround sound by converting audio to two channels of audio channels 5.1 channels 7.1 and 5.1 channel stereo.• Enhancer of dialogue: allows users to listen and understand every word of dialogue• Volume leveler: keeps the volume in all of the content and applications on the basis of the place where the user sets the volume level.• Smart Equalizer: control and govern the sound depending on the configuration previously selected by the user.The smart Equalizer controls the frequency range and dynamically adjusts the sound each time the desired brand.
The following features in the Dolby Home Theater suite v4 have been designed to meet the challenges associated with the reading:
• Volume Maximizer: amplify the audio signal so that users can mount the volume without causing noise or cut.• Audio Optimizer: improve the frequency response of the speakers integrated into the PC, so the sound of the content is the closest thing possible that wanted to be its creator.• Regulatory audio: eliminates or reduces the noise caused by the combination of saturated amplifiers and cabinets.• Graphic Equalizer: allow consumers to establish sound in their exact specifications through a filter of high overall quality.• Surround VIRTUALIZER for integrated speakers: creates a surround sound virtualized to multichannel stereo speakers or stereo content.• Surround VIRTUALIZER of helmets: creates a stereo content virtualized envelope or sound multi-channel stereo in headphones normal.• Dolby Digital output: converts any PC audio signal Dolby Digital, allowing the PC to connect to a home theater system.
In conclusionAs you can see, Dolby provides many functions that really allow representation to adapt to your preferences. Well unfortunately, is not here to buy software, as Dolby works closely with manufacturers: each PC model equipped with a v4 CESP product is personalized by professionals of Dolby and thus enable to implement speakers that can produce a sound clearer and more dynamic than the norm. Can you see if this can be a point of decision on your next purchase of equipment?

Klipsch one: the nectar in the ears - CommentCaMarche.net
Klipsch is a manufacturer offers a true signature audio: tools which perfectly separated each other almost alive processing. Or rather as if there were a very private concert. And this is not necessarily taste worldwide. Especially because the acute may seem aggressive, very bright. And in fact, Klipsch addresses high end to the lovers of the classic. However for certain ranges of helmets, less expensive, the manufacturer has chosen to soften its representation to seduce the public. This is the case with the S4 intras, and this is also what he proposes this Klipsch one to sell, at a price around 115 euros.
Art and music - They are in this clearly the qualities of Klipsch. Exact Spatialisé of sound, very well. As soon as the first listen, deemed neutral and dynamic. But in fact, the acute and the lowlands are slightly ahead in the media, which makes it warm. A curve of v is called. But light, with acute accent occurs without being too bright. Listening is not tiring. And then the capacity of this town are such which may have fun with his equalizer to change representation without too many worries. Means, by presenting, who is very well done, precise or not bavent. Nothing's wrong with the media, these instruments are strictly differentiated, the sounds are mixed.
To the right time to all audiophiles, particularly to the more eclectic Klipsch an. Its excellent capabilities make very nice in any kind of music. From classic rock, electro and reggae. Of course, if you are a monomaniaque of the classical or Jazz, you will find at the top of range (degree or Shure) helmets still more accurate and more neutral.
Comfort and isolation- Praise series stays there. The One Klipsch is an excellent headband headset. Comfortable, heated a little ears but it can be used with pleasure of the hours. Its isolation is good, has even nothing to envy classical intras here. The cable is well isolated and they parasitize not listening when we walk. There is even a small remote control (with microphone) compatible with the iPod Phone Pad. It is our only reservation about the cable. The choice of a short cable is not necessarily good. If it is very convenient on the go, it is difficult to use at home (Hi-Fi and Home Cinema). It is time to use extension cables, with a loss of quality of audio in the final. And this is really damage the station used a nomadic, because to be honest, the quality of the broadcast of an iPod, even with the loseless of the AAFC, not full justice to this town. Secondly, would have preferred if listeners of the fixations of the cable, or doing minijack, more robust. Or at least that the cable can separate headphones from concern.
A word of the Pack to finish. It is the table of a classic case of hard drive, a plane adapter and adapter Jack. An extension of quality that kicking was useful.
Verdict -The One Klipsch is a true blow of heart audio, but also an excellent value for money. Sound quality and rare precision for a helmet in this range, is also really comfortable and practical. In our opinion, it is even greater for listening to music on a HD25 Sennheiser.

TC youth delivers the goods - San Leandro times
Inspired by the concept designed by Calty Scion FUSE, the new 2011 Scion tC project a bolder, more aggressive stance. - By Steve Schaefer-San Leandro times - Scion, Toyota youth brand, has existed since 2004. At that time, two square hatchbacks of the mark have received new bodies and positioning, but the tC bestseller has languished. Well, by 2011, that's history.The CT is called a coupé, but it really is a three-door liftback. It reminds of the popular technically Toyota Celica in the 70 and 80 years. The viability of cargo transportation of identity combined with a sports fastback configuration is a good match, and it is good to have it available again.
I am particularly pleased that the new six-speed manual transmission in my black test car. A six-speed automatic is also available and you will probably be sold new ECT in the United States most recently, a seller of another brand of youth told me that almost all the cars sold are delivered without a clutch pedal. Automatic today's wonderful and paddle Shift make instant gear easy changes, but I think that automatic controllers lack none of something. You decide.The CT is the most powerful car of Scion, with a four of 2.5 litres turning 180 horsepower, up to 19 model last year and 173 lb - ft of torque, up to 11. Ton and a half car feels strong through the arts; and, while it is not a rocket, be it certainly is not any car modest economy. The electric power steering offers a clear picture, and four ring disc brakes will lower the car quickly to a stop.
Fuel economy numbers are a pleasant 23 city, 31 Highway and average of 26. I personally averaged 25.9 mpg - making this official number remarkably accurate. Guide the EPA Green vehicle awards the car with a 6 by air pollution and greenhouse gases. It is good enough for the State of the processes, but it is not the highest number available for a small cup. However, it is stronger than the cars that have better numbers, so you have to choose 180 horses where you want in the spectrum of green energy.
Scion designers use concept car of fuses for the study of California as a model for the style of the new tC. It is more effectively slightly sharp edge that more gently with the previous tC style, but not to justice for car photos. A simple face is the correct attitude of Scion: cool, collected and focused, not smiling as a Mazda or repenting as some other sports coupes. The side window pointed out not is great rear visibility but it makes a statement which is retro and different from the current situation. Court in lower side panels add visual acuity.
Inside, the cabin has indicators of bold and marked with a lot of silver accents. There is a similarity to the previous model and the extra-budgetary resources box, a horizontal position and solid quality which is reassuring in a car. As the face of the car, it is simple: no nonsense and it feels right when you're on the road.Despite the horizontal linearity of interior, there are a lot of circles as well as the indicators. For example, the console flows down in a basis of circular transmission and speakers door round, stacked grave and acute, mid-level fill the front of each door. The thick steering wheel, leather lining is a flat-bottomed, giving more space for the legs, but also an unusual feeling when it is turning while driving through corners.
The lining of the Black roof and pillars help create a sober atmosphere inside. The surfaces are detailed well but are mostly of hard plastic, something common in cars at lower prices and a staple of Scion from the first day. The design and the line are what they are doing working here.Be a car of youth, the tC comes with a powerful audio system. You'll get eight speakers and 300 Watts standard, with a USB port for iPod too. An optional Alpine system is available, and both systems offer the SSP system: processing of sound of Scion - which provides three preset equalizer.
The aim is to only a fitted model leader of Scion. All TCs come with Windows, locks and mirrors. There is a roof of panoramic glass with power tilt and slide and dual manual sunshades. You can also get the entry without remote key to control, air conditioning and cruise control. A display of multiple information offers travel and fuel economy information. The car takes a handsome 18-inch alloy wheels.The price for the single model of tC is modest - only $18,275 for $19,275 for automatic and manual equipped car. Add $720 for delivery and you have an affordable car that offers goods.It is an old axiom that they can not sell to a young old man car, but that can no doubt do the opposite. The Scion brand was created to offer cheap car, sports with an attitude and a cool image. This "greatest guy" had a great week with the new tC.
