CAUTION
Pioneer recommends the use of a camera
which outputs mirror-reversed images.
Otherwise, the screen image will appear re-
versed.
This unit features a function that automatically
switches to the rear view camera video (VIN)
when a rear view camera is installed on your
car and the gear shift is moved to the RE-
VERSE (R) position.(For more details, con-
sult your dealer.)
!After you set up the rear view camera set-
ting, move the gear shift to REVERSE (R)
and confirm that the rear view camera
video is shown on the display.
!Change this setting if the display switches
to the rear view camera video by error while
you are driving forward.
!To stop watching the rear view camera
video and return to the source display,
press and hold MUTE.
!Touch the RearView source icon to display
the rear view camera image while driving.
Touch the source icon again to turn the

Auto EQ (auto-equalizing)
The auto-equalizer automatically measures
the car’s interior acoustic characteristics, and
then creates an auto-equalizer curve based on
that information.

WARNING
As a loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the
speakers when measuring the car's interior
acoustic characteristics, never perform auto TA
or auto EQ while driving.
CAUTION
!Thoroughly check the conditions before per-
forming auto EQ as the speakers may be da-
maged if these functions are performed when:
—The speakers are incorrectly connected.
(For example, when a rear speaker is con-
nected as a subwoofer output.)
—A speaker is connected to a power amp de-
livering output higher than the speaker’s
maximum input power capability.
!If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable
position the measurement tone may become
loud and measurement may take a long time,
resulting in battery drainage. Be sure to place
the microphone in the specified location.
Before operating the auto EQ function
!Carry out auto EQ in as quiet a place as
possible, with the car engine and air condi-
tioning switched off. Also cut power to car
phones or portable telephones in the car, or
remove them from the car before carrying
out auto EQ. Sounds other than the mea-
surement tone (surrounding sounds, en-
gine sound, telephones ringing etc.) may
prevent correct measurement of the car in-
terior acoustic characteristics.
!Be sure to carry out auto EQ using the op-
tional microphone. Using another micro-
phone may prevent measurement, or result
in incorrect measurement of the car inter-
ior acoustic characteristics.
!In order to perform auto EQ, the front
speaker must be connected.
!When this unit is connected to a power
amp with input level control, auto EQ may
not be possible if the power amp’s input
level is set below the standard level.
!When this unit is connected to a power
amp with an LPF, turn this LPF off before
performing auto EQ. Also set the cut-off fre-
quency for the built-in LPF of an active sub-
woofer to the highest frequency.
!The distance has been calculated by com-
puter to be the optimum delay to give accu-
rate results for the circumstances, so
please continue to use this value.
—The reflected sound within the car is
strong and delays occur.
—The LPF on active subwoofers or exter-
nal amps delay the lower sounds.
!Auto EQ changes the audio settings as fol-
lows:
—The fader/balance settings return to the
center position. (Refer to Using fader/
balance adjustment on page 55.)
—The equalizer curve switches to Flat.
(Refer to page 55.)
—The front, center and rear speakers will
automatically be adjusted to a high
pass filter setting.
!Previous settings for auto EQ will be over-
written.
Performing auto EQ
1 Stop the car in a place that is quiet,
close all the doors, windows and sun roof,
and then turn the engine off.
If the engine is left running, engine noise may
prevent correct auto EQ.
2 Fix the optional microphone in the cen-
ter of the headrest of the driver’s seat, fa-
cing forward.
The auto EQ may differ depending on where
you place the microphone. If desired, place
the microphone on the front passenger seat to
carry out auto EQ.

gins.
When auto EQ is completed, Complete is dis-
played.
When the car’s interior acoustic characteris-
tics cannot be measured correctly, an error
message will be displayed. (Refer to Under-
standing auto EQ error messages on page 77.)

surement to be completed when all the speakers

ble, due to disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on
the disc, or dirt, condensation, etc. on the lens of this
unit.
Depending on the application settings and the envir-
onment, playback of discs recorded on a personal
computer may not be possible. (For details, contact
the manufacturer of the application.)

External storage device (USB, SD)
Playback sequence is the same as recorded
sequence in the external storage device (USB,
SD).
To specify the playback sequence, the follow-
ing method is recommended.
1Create the file name including numbers that
specify the playback sequence (e.g., 001xxx.
mp3 and 099yyy.mp3).
2Put those files into a folder.
3Save the folder containing files on the external
storage device (USB, SD).
However, depending on the system environ-
ment, you may not be able to specify the play-
back sequence.
For USB portable audio players, the sequence
is different and depends on the player.

Using the display correctly
CAUTION
!If liquid or foreign matter should get inside
this unit, turn off the power immediately and
consult your dealer or the nearest authorized
PIONEER Service Station. Do not use the unit
in this condition because doing so may result
in fire, electric shock, or other failure.
!If you notice smoke, a strange noise or smell,
or any other abnormal signs from the display,
turn off the power immediately and consult
your dealer or the nearest authorized
PIONEER Service Station. Using this unit in
this condition may result in permanent da-
mage to the system.
!Do not disassemble or modify this unit, as
there are high-voltage components inside
which may cause electric shock. Be sure to
consult your dealer or the nearest authorized
PIONEER Service Station for internal inspec-
tion, adjustments, or repairs.
Handling the display
!Never touch the screen with anything be-
sides your finger when operating the touch
panel function. The screen can scratch ea-
sily.
!When the display is subjected to direct sun-
light for a long period of time, it will be-
come very hot resulting in possible
damage to the LCD screen. You should
avoid exposing the display unit to direct
sunlight as much as possible.
!The display should be used within the tem-
perature range of -10°C to +60°C (14 °F to
140 °F).
At temperatures higher or lower than this
operating temperature range, the display
may not operate normally.
!The LCD screen is exposed in order to in-
crease its visibility within the vehicle. Do
not press it strongly on it as this may da-
mage it.
!Do not push the LCD screen forcefully as
this may scratch it.
Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen
!Heat from the heater may damage the LCD
screen, and cool air from the cooler may
cause moisture to form inside the display
resulting in possible damage.
!Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)
may appear on the LCD screen. These are
due to the characteristics of the LCD
screen and do not indicate a malfunction.
!When using a cellular phone, keep the an-
tenna away from the display to prevent dis-
ruption of the video image by the
appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.
LED (light-emitting diode)
backlight
!At low temperatures, using the LED back-
light may increase image lag and degrade
the image quality due to the characteristics
of the LCD screen. Image quality will im-
prove with an increase in temperature.
!To protect the LED backlight, the display
will darken in the following environments:
—In the direct sunlight
—Near the heater vent
!The product lifetime of the LED backlight is
more than 10 000 hours. However, it may
decrease if used in high temperatures.
!If the LED backlight reaches the end of its
product lifetime, the screen will become
dark and the image will no longer be pro-
jected. In such cases, please consult your
dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER
Service Station.
Keeping the display in good
condition
!When removing dust from the screen or
cleaning the display, first turn the system
power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
!When wiping the screen, take care not to
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or
abrasive chemical cleaners.
