Digital For Quality
Pioneer’s entire 2003 line-up of in-car CD tuners features D4Q which refers to ‘digital for quality.’ D4Q combines an analog front end with digital processing that delivers crisp, clear radio reception.
Key features of D4Q tuner technology:
- Superior sensitivity, ensuring the weakest of signals can be received
- Low multipath noise, enabling signal differentiation and selection in high signal reflection areas, such as cities and mountains
- High resistance to interference, detecting adjacent signals and/or interference and effectively tuning them out before any undesirable noises can be heard
- A smooth RDS network following, safeguarding the signal from changing stations whilst seamlessly switching signals where appropriate

The DEH-1500R is the most affordable CD tuner in the new range. In addition to the D4Q tuner, this unit is equipped with an outstanding sound system incorporating Pioneer’s EEQ Easy Equaliser system offering a host of equaliser controls that can be custom tailored by the driver ensuring quality sound.
