The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing
it at a safe levela level that lets the sound
come through clearly without annoying blar-
ing or distortion and, most importantly, with-
out affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound
can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
comfort leveladapts to higher volumes of
sound, so what sounds normalcan actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
!Set your volume control at a low setting.
!Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without dis-
tortion.
!Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
!Do not turn up the volume so high that you
cant hear whats around you.
!Use caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.
!Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle; the use of headphones
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.

WARNING
As a loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the
speakers when measuring the car's interior
acoustic characteristics, never perform 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 speakers
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 amps 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 53.)
The equalizer curve switches to Flat.
(Refer to Recalling equalizer curves on
page 53.)
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 drivers 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.

WARNING
!To avoid the risk of accident and the potential
violation of applicable laws, no viewing of
front seat video should ever occur while the
vehicle is being driven. Also, rear displays
should not be in a location where they are visi-
bly distracting to the driver.
!In some countries or states the viewing of
images on a display inside a vehicle even by
persons other than the driver may be illegal.
Where such regulations apply, they must be
obeyed and this units DVD features should
not be used.
CAUTION
!PIONEER does not recommend that you in-
stall or service your display unit yourself. In-
stalling or servicing the product may expose

play unit to authorized Pioneer service person-
nel.
!Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electri-
cal tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to re-
main exposed.
!Do not drill a hole into the engine compart-
ment to connect the yellow cable of the dis-
play unit to the vehicle battery. Engine
vibration may eventually cause the insulation
to fail at the point where the wire passes from
the passenger compartment into the engine
compartment. Take extra care in securing the
wire at this point.
!It is extremely dangerous to allow the micro-
phone lead to become wound around the
steering column or gearstick. Be sure to in-
stall the unit in such a way that it will not ob-
struct driving.
!Make sure that cables will not interfere with
moving parts of the vehicle, such as the gear-
shift, parking brake or seat sliding mechan-
ism.

Unfinalized DVD-R/-RW discs which have been re-
corded in the Video format (video mode) cannot be
played back.

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.)
CD-R/CD-RW discs
When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, playback is possi-
ble only for discs which have been finalized.
Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer may not be pos-

cally compatible with the general CD standard, it may
not be possible to play the CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may re-
sult in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can
lead to playback problems on this unit. In some
cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc load-
ing slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recom-
mend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.
