models of AV receivers feature this DJ technology.

The penetration of smart phones in the Indian market is growing. With the 2013 line-up, Pioneer brought in the
smart solutions for this generation’s smart consumer. The complete 2013 AV receiver line-up features “Advanced

Media Recievers – MVH-159UI & MVH-355BT”. This year headunit line-up also features more Bluetooth models

frequency sounds lost in the digital compression process ensuring enhanced sound quality. Apart from sound
quality and convenience in usage, Pioneer stressed its commitment to create reliable products by introducing an
Anti-Dust Design in all newly launched head-units with CD-mechanism. Anti-Dust Design prevents dust
accumulation inside the system via an efficient heat dissipation system to optimize the airflow, reduce dust entry
and thereby ensure a long life for the product.

Pioneer introduced a stronger, refreshed & revolutionary line-up of Speakers. Especially for Indian consumers,
Speakers concentrating on very High output with Extreme RMS & SPL have been introduced, creating an
altogether new class of sound in car. The series name itself personifies the sound character – “The Bullet”. The
