Pioneer FH-X840DAB CD receiver is a 2-DIN in-car unit for drivers who use several music sources. Bluetooth supports hands-free calling, audio streaming and a permanent connection to two phones. CD, USB, a front AUX input and DAB/DAB+ provide different listening options. A Bluetooth microphone is included, while digital radio requires a separately available aerial.
Pioneer FH-X840DAB is a 2-DIN CD receiver designed for everyday driving. It brings together CD playback, USB, a front AUX input, radio and Bluetooth connectivity.
A microphone for hands-free calling is included. The receiver maintains a permanent connection to two phones simultaneously, allowing you to use personal and work phones without repeatedly changing the pairing.
Calls and wireless music
Bluetooth supports hands-free calling, audio streaming and voice recognition. The phone book transfers automatically, while wideband speech is available when it is supported by both the connected phone and the mobile network.
Wireless audio browsing lets you navigate music stored on a compatible device. Advanced Sound Retriever Air processes audio transmitted over the wireless connection.
Music and radio sources
The built-in player reads CD, CD-R and CD-RW media, displays CD and MP3 text, supports random playback and remembers the last playback position. The USB connection can also play FLAC files.
The front AUX input is intended for a device with an analogue audio output. The music browser and MIXTRAX provide additional ways to manage your tracks.
The DAB and DAB+ tuner requires the optional Pioneer CA-AN-DAB.001 aerial, which is not included. RDS FM and AM radio are also available, with memory for 24 preset stations.
Apple device control, Android AOA 2.0 and Spotify are previous-generation compatibility features. Operation with current devices, operating systems or services is not guaranteed.
Audio system adjustment
The 13-band graphic equaliser adjusts individual frequency ranges, while source level adjustment helps reduce sudden changes in volume when switching between sources.
High-pass and low-pass filters help distribute the audio signal between system components. Three sets of RCA pre-outs serve the front, rear and subwoofer channels and are intended for connecting external amplifiers.
Manual time alignment compensates for the different distances between the listener and the speakers. A three-way active audio system mode provides additional configuration options for a suitably arranged system.
Direct Sub Drive, Advanced Sound Retriever and Audio Digital Direct functions are also provided. The MOSFET maximum-power rating is 50 W × 4; this figure is not stated as an RMS power rating.
Controls, display and installation
The wide-viewing-angle VA LCD uses a 1.5-line dot-matrix display. It can show Cyrillic characters and offers ten-step brightness adjustment.
The button illumination provides zoned RGB adjustment with a choice of 210,000 colours, together with lighting effects, a light line and a timer. A wired remote-control input allows a compatible control system to be connected.
The chassis requires a 2-DIN dashboard opening. The included Bluetooth microphone can be aimed towards the driver and positioned away from airflow from the ventilation outlets.

FAQ
Does the receiver require a 2-DIN opening?
Yes. The chassis is designed for a 2-DIN space in the dashboard. This receiver will not fit a standard 1-DIN opening.
What is required to listen to DAB and DAB+ radio?
The optional Pioneer CA-AN-DAB.001 aerial is required. It is not supplied with the receiver, so it must be allowed for when planning a digital-radio installation.
Can two phones be connected at the same time?
Yes. A permanent Bluetooth connection to two phones is supported, allowing calls to be received from either paired phone.
When should I use the RCA pre-outs?
Use them when connecting external amplifiers. Separate front, rear and subwoofer output sets make it easier to plan a multi-channel audio system.
How should I begin adjusting the audio system?
Start by balancing the levels of the different sources. Then adjust the filters, equaliser and time alignment for the driver’s listening position.
Will it work with a current phone and music apps?
Standard Bluetooth calling and audio functions depend on support from the phone. The Apple, AOA 2.0 and Spotify capabilities relate to previous-generation versions.
