  7. Start car/head unit in low volume or mute

    in NEX Series

    Posted

    I don't think so. My audio/video receiver at home does that. It's a great feature.

     

    It takes a little effort, but I got myself into the habit of turning the volume low before I shut off the car. It's become second nature. I do understand the desire to automate this, as I automate everything I possibly can. 

     

    its the small things that count lol

    Shit,shit shit How much will cost you updating your Pioneer ?you may ask .

    Well

    -$250 (if you have no warranty)

    -labor to take the radio In and out of your car(if you unable or skilled to do it yourself)

    -$21 shipping

    -at last 3 weeks being without  your Radio/GPS

    -and you are going to loose it

    Total f bullshit, When I called the Pioneer the guy made it sound like faulty radio

     

    Soo should updating your radio cost you so much ??? Hell NOO that shit should be bulletproof period. It is obviously Pioneer problem and no one should be afraid to download update !

    F You Pioneer

     

    I did everything right and should not be forced to pay for Pioneers mistake.This was my last update.and my last pioneer.when I get it back!

     

     

    Not worth updating....I read the email 30 seconds after they sent it.

    And said to myself I wouldn't update unless (1)It's absolutely necessary (2)A few weeks after members post their experience with the new patch.

  15. Audio Settings 101....noob question

    Hi goke,

     

    LPF Woofer, this is the frequence that the woofer plays. 80hertz is a normal standard for a woofer at top40 music

    If you play Reggae music you can change this to 50 or 63 hertz, that means that the bass would be lower and more feeling.

    HPF: this is an option to let your speakers play less bass so the play better on high volumes.

    It's better to try it and hear what you like you can always reset the funtions if you made a mess of it :)

     

    Good luck

     

     

    The above information is needs some clarification. A low pass filter (LPF) allows frequencies under the crossover point through to your subwoofer. If you set it at 80Hz, then all frequencies below 80Hz will pass through to the subwoofer. Lowering that crossover point to 63Hz or 50Hz won't make the woofer play any deeper (it just wont play as high). In conjunction, the HPF does the opposite and allows frequencies above the crossover setpoint to get to your main speakers. The crossover point isn't a hard cutoff, so it's not like 81Hz won't play through your subwoofer. The slope determines how drastic the frequencies roll off. 

     

    Example: A LPF set at 80Hz with a slope of -18dB/octave means that the output will be 18dB quieter for every octave lower. So if you have a 80Hz tone coming out of your speaker at 90dB, it'll theoretically be 72dB at 40Hz (one octave down is half the frequency, one octave up is double the frequency). One octave is the same as hitting a middle "C" on a piano, then playing another C either lower or higher. That difference is one octave. Or if you sing a simple major scale, "do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do", the difference between the two "do" notes is the same note, one octave apart.

     

    Your subwoofer's crossover is set @ 200Hz in your picture. That's probably too high. Yes, you'll get more sound coming from your subwoofer, but it might get a little muddy. It may also be localizable. A good rule of thumb is that frequencies below 80Hz are omnidirectional. If you let your subwoofer play higher than that, then you'll easily be able to pinpoint where your subwoofer is located. You don't really want that. It might be fun for a while to hear all that sound coming from your sub, but that's not a proper way to tune a system.

     

    Lots of good reading here. Her writing is more interesting and easy to follow than most:

    Here's a great link that shows you what the real-world relationships are between frequencies and music. 

    http://www.independentrecording.net/irn/resources/freqchart/main_display.htm

     

    Once you understand the relationship between the mathematics involved and actual music, it'll open up your ears and brain to be able to better tune a system. 

     

     

    Thank you for responding guys....I have since lowered my sub woofer's crossover to 100Hz

  17. Any alternatives for those with more than 15,000 files/1,500 folders?

    I agree with you and have a feeling it will be awhile before the car stereo manufactors build there car stereos for current technologies. But then again, probably their ploy to get us to update/replace our units every two years. As I count, that's about how often I do, and only for the newest gimmick they throw at us. Hell, if I had enough room in my dash, I'd throw in a nice home receiver and be done the life of my car. Home units are right on it, why can't the car manufactors to this......

     

     

    For me it's not cost effective to change every 2,3,4 years

    I was able to price match my 4000NEX from an authorized dealer using an amazon price. +Installation/cables

    I can't afford it

    I currently have about 23,000 files hanging off of a 256GB SSD on my 8100NEX. It works. However, the queue up time when you switch to USB1 takes about 45-90 seconds before you can play music. the same thing goes for when you first turn it on. Luckily, that time barely even gets me off my street, so I've learned to deal with it. It's not a perfect solution, but it does work. I formatted to fat32 because my tests showed that it loaded a bit faster than NTFS. I also manually sorted the files using the fatsort linux utility (I think such utilities exist for Windows and others) so I can browse music alphabetically by folder.

     

    an iPod is definitely a bit more of a seamless solution, but my issue was that a certain portion of my files (I believe due to something in the metadata that I hadn't been able to determine) would not play on the iPod. It's not an uncommon problem from what I've seen and I'd been trying to figure out for years how to reliably fix it.

     

     

    Reviewing the manual http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/NEX/AVIC-8100NEX

    Page 245

    The max amount of files withing usb storage/sd memory card is 15,000........so your system works fine with 23,000 files :/
