aye 6.5v outputs are useful, got them on my mp77 usually drops by about .5v or so when it reaches the boot and i have found that cheapy amps (tested a mutant thingy..piece of cack) didnt like the high input 
but yea, pioneer is good...although the TV is pretty mint as well. But it depends what the quality of the tv is? i cant imagine it is as good as other stuff, especially like pioneers/alpines etc
