I am deciding between the 880PRS or the 9800BT...The 880 i heard has amazing SQ but the 9800BT does have bluetooth and the nice color screen but it is 100 dollars more too

Someone help me make a decision!

I think the 980 is more or less a 780 with bluetooth, but Im not 100% sure.

The 880 would be my choice, unless bluetooth is extremely important to you, or you need a color screen.

The 880 has superior audio adjustments.....including the ability to run an active front stage with the deck.

I got a BT phone and thought about the 980bt, but I have to say I like my 880 just fine.

dudes im pretty new at this so excuse my n00bified query, but whats an active front stage?

also, im between the 880PRS and the 780MP, but my main concern is about the difference between having just one rotary comander or one volume knob and a rotary comander. would this make choosing mp3's and navigating through the menu's much easier on the 880 than on the 780??

You said it.

WTF? I guess despite all it's great features, the 880 doesnt have a ATT button to cut the volume in half with a single press. Takes me 4 agonizing turns to turn down the volume from 50.

I have the 9800, and the one rotary commander works fine (except, pausing is a *****). I really think that pioneer should have put two more buttons on the face. One for pause, one for mute (I know, the remote has att, but still), maybe in between the buttons around the rotary commander, or above and below the three buttons to the left of it, or even on the right side of the rotary commander.

Duh. I forgot all about the remote for my 880 PRS. Better check my cubby hole and make sure it's still there. I threw it in the day of the install, and havent taken it out since.

Pioneer pretty much has taken the side of the remot user, I use my remote always even though my HU is in the perfect spot to use by hand, but yea, I would have liked a pause button the HU anyway...

The 880 has "Dual (L/R) 16-Band Graphic EQ". What do they mean when they say dual. Does this mean that u can have more treble in the left speakers or like more bass or something

yep.

you can also adjust timing to them individually etc. basically if it can be adjusted, this deck does it.

you can adjust everything, xover slopes, output level, xover points, and the EQ, independantly beteen the left channel to the right channel
