What can a display audio can do?With Carrozzeria "DMH-SF700", you can enjoy paradise drive by full use of smartphones and Wi-Fi in the car!

■ What is a display audio? Audio unit with a screen

In the first place, a display audio is, as the name implies, an audio unit with a display.

In the case of "DMH-SF700", the only audio function that is provided on the main unit from the beginning is the FM/AM tuner and the amplifier for regenerating it.Instead, there are a variety of interfaces, connecting streaming media players with USB memory or HDMI, connecting audio players with Bluetooth to enjoy a variety of sources.

Furthermore, at first glance, it has a display like a commercially available car navigation system, but it is not equipped with a car navigation system.The question comes up, "How do you use car navigation?"The answer is "Connect a smartphone (hereinafter referred to as a smartphone)".By displaying a smartphone navigation on a large screen display, you will be able to drive a safe and convenient drive.

● The point is that the 9 -inch large screen floated

The larger the screen to be installed, the better, but the installation space inside the car is limited.The "DMH-SF700" has an unusual large screen for a display audio of 9 inches, but a standard audio installation space (standard car audio installation location: 180mm wide x height x height.It is also a major feature that it can be attached to 50mm).

The seeds are so -called floating, attaching the display as if floating from the dashboard.This achieves a large screen of 1.7 times the standard 7 inches.In addition, since the display is HD resolution (1280 x 720 pixels), it displays high -definition and clear images suitable for a large screen.

By the way, this floating is, of course, the coolness of the appearance, but the point is that the degree of freedom of installation increases.The dashboard has an air conditioner -related, various switches, and a versatile shape, and the dashboard tends to have unevenness depending on the model, but it is often possible to install it, so the display part is fine.Since it can be adjusted, the "DMH-SF700" can be attached to a wide model.

● You can use the familiar smartphone audio command as it is

The display audio is basically assumed that you can connect your smartphone and use it.

In the case of "DMH-SF700", the iPhone uses "Apple CarPlay", and Android uses "Android Auto".In both cases, if you connect the smartphone to the "DMH-SF700", it will start up automatically, and you will be able to control the smartphone app you usually use on the display audio.Siri Eyes -free and Google Assistant can also use voice recognition, so you can call contact information in your smartphone to make a phone call, and you can use music and navigation apps in your smartphone from the display audio.is.

Let's try a car navigation system using the map application "Google Maps".The biggest advantage of using this app is that searching in the destination can flexibly respond to keywords that are as ambiguous as smartphones and have no need to update maps.

For example, when you want to set the "Gotemba Premium Outlet" as a destination, you will not know the exact name and listen to the candidate even if you talk about "Gotemba outlet".When you want to eat, you can talk about "hungry" or "nearby Italian".Many in -vehicle car navigation system narrows down the destination in order from the menu, but it is very convenient to narrow down the target just by speaking a command by audio.

If you use it as a car navigation system, why not use an app other than "Google Maps"?The 9-inch large screen of the "DMH-SF700" improves the understandability of the root guide.This stands out when I used "Yahoo! Car Navi".At a complicated junction, we will guide you using an expansion of the intersection, and on the highway, the facility list will be displayed and guided.The high -definition display of HD quality also displays roads and map icons clearly, so I felt that the usability and security were increasing.

● In addition to combining the Wi-Fi router, an invincible deck is completed!

The charm of "DMH-SF700" is not limited to that.Since this unit itself is equipped with a web browser and Amazon Alexa, if you combine it with Wi-Fi, you can enjoy YouTube directly without a smartphone, or you can use Alexa audio commands.

The problem is how to secure a Wi-Fi environment, but the recommended method is to use Carrozzeria's Wi-Fi router "DCT-WR100D".Docomo's LTE high-speed data communication is unlimitedly used in the moving car, so use Wi-Fi fully without worrying about this month's "giga (communication capacity)" like tethering of a smartphone.can do.

In addition, the "DMH-SF700" also has an HDMI input, so you can enjoy a variety of content by connecting an Amazon Fire TV Stick.You can enjoy videos and music streaming services such as Amazon Prime and Netflix with a 9 -inch large screen and car speakers.And if you connect to the Fire TV Stick to the "DCT-WR100D", you don't have to worry about Giga.The way you enjoy the drive will expand much.

The "DMH-SF700" allows you to link with the smartphone app "Caravassist" for the pioneer display audio, so you can do customization of the screen and register your built-in browser when you are not on a car, and you can do it.It can also be used for upgrading.

● Compatible with high -resolution sound source playback.How to associate with car AV changes!

As a last introduction, it can be said that it is one of the maximum purpose of attaching display audio, and the commitment to sound quality to enjoy music that you always listen to in the car with "good sound" is "DMH-SF700".Is perfect.

Until now, many car audio only played high-resolution for the time being "high-resolution sound source", but the "DMH-SF700" has high-resolution sound source playback ability at the level that can be judged by hearing.In addition, high -resolution Wireless (LDAC) can be played and can be used with full specifications.Moreover, the "DMH-SF700" can be set to high accuracy with the time alignment and 13 band graphic equalizers.

The built -in amplifier cannot be overlooked that its sound quality is wonderful.I listened to the music in the smartphone I always listened to with "DMH-SF700", but I was able to enjoy the very realistic sound, even though the bit rate was not so high.The speakers that were installed on the test ride were in the entry class, but they were still at a level that was satisfactory.This seems to be effective for "master sound revive", which high quality sound quality of compressed sound sources such as MP3, and is also effective in playing YouTube.You can also add external power amplifiers and subwoofers.People who are particular about sound will be convinced.

Speaking of system-ups, the addition of "Back Camera Unit ND-BC8II" and the connection with the genuine vehicle back camera (conversion cable or adapter is required) can be developed as a reverse-linked back camera monitor.

● Use 120%of the smartphone functions you are using now

The combination of smartphone and "DMH-SF700" greatly changes the way of car AV.In the coming season, various events will be held all over the country.It is easy to search for such an event with a smartphone.The appeal of the "DMH-SF700" is that the smartphone you are using so far can produce great value for in-vehicle use.
