Pioneer DEH-P7700MP
CD receiver with MP3 / WMA / AAC playback

Anybody got one or tested the AAC playback ?

This is VERY interesting. do you have a link to mor einfo?

It is on the www.crutchfield.com site.
The Pioneer web site is mute about it.
How sad.
I also saw there are two new Kenwood units that are AAC compatible.
The Kenwood units clearly state they are not DRM compatible.

Do you mean digital rights management or digital radio mondiale?

... Digital Rights Management

Here are some information from Pioneer-USA:

I hope, that some kind of this will come to europe soon

<rumour>
iPod flash, iPod mini with 5 GB and hopefully iPod with 30/60 GB instead of 20/40 GB will come soon to make 2005 the year off aac's breaktrough...
Stevie, let us see your new iMac mini on tuesday, please !

Some modern codec (aac or vorbis) have to go forward this year, otherwise wma will be the winner

Who is willing to register and get junk mail so we can read the manual?

(I was already registered...Needed a manual a year or two back)


edit: typo

Thank you. Looks like we are stuck with Apple's .m4a extension and container.
The manual doesn't say anything about mp4 or raw AAC.

So... Who's gonna make up a disc and take it to the local Best Buy?

Already went to Best Buy and Circuit City.
They are clueless as to when they will arrive.
Crutchfield is the only one I have seen list it.

My roommate works at BB (albeit in HT) but I'll try to grab him tomorrow to find some answers.

Yes, definitelly it would be good to know what type of header/container it suppports: adif, adts, mp4, raw, m4a...
