I have no issues with the remote.
Concerning the "3-way" thing, I notice that the jacks to the rear of the deck are labelled "F" "R" and "SW". If the x-over is flexible enough to allow me to run front + rear + sw rather than treble + midbass + sw then I'm a lot more interested.
Pity about the 16-band eq though. I'd prefer 31-band, or 8-band parametric. With the 16-band EQ offered by my current deck, I've found that the bands are typicall NOT located at the frequencies I'd prefer them to be.

LOL - I find it a refreshing change from the "bling-boxes" that pass themselves off as head units these days...

i am sure its cost cutting to keep the overall price range down

I haven't played with the L/R 16 band eq yet to see just how useful the chosen points are but I imagine that being able to achieve independent left/right eq would be at least some help in tuning.

Also tried the bluetooth streaming option. Paired the unit with a samsung galaxy ace and had absolutely no issues. Could browse through my phone's playlist, play/pause/stop songs, and manipulate volume. Note that the phone's bluetooth stack must support the AVRCP protocol to use all of the functions of bluetooth streaming.
One negative is that there is an annoying beep everytime you change a setting on the unit and there seems to be no way to disable this. An option would be to open it up and remove the speaker inside.

Pioneer's processing definitely is better, but this price would be hard to beat, when it comes out.

I'm glad that pioneer sorted out their bluetooth streaming, it wasn't the best on the 980 bt model..
Are you sure there isn't a way to mute the annoying beep you are referring to?
I remember i found a way to mute this on the 980 bt
But for the price range of the unit you really can't go wrong!
I think Pioneer did a really good job on this unit.
They also released a 8400 BH Double Din Dvd unit that's packed with features... I'm itching to try out one!
