Section

Before you start

The Safety of Your Ears is in

Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing

it at a safe level—a 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 level”adapts to higher volumes of

sound, so what sounds “normal”can 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

can’t hear what’s 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.

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.

!To perform this function, dedicated micro-

phone (e.g. CD-MC20) is required.

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:

Section

15 Menu operations

—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 57.)

—The equalizer curve switches to Flat.

(Refer to Recalling equalizer curves on

page 57.)

—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.

3 Turn the ignition switch to ON or ACC.

If the car’s air conditioner or heater is turned

on, turn it off. Noise from the fan in the air

conditioner or heater may prevent correct 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 unit’s 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

you to risk of electric shock or other hazards.

Refer all installation and servicing of your dis-

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 shift lever. 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 shift

lever, parking brake or seat sliding mechan-

ism.

!Do not shorten any cables. If you do, the pro-

tection circuit may fail to work properly.

WARNING

!LIGHT GREEN LEAD AT POWER CON-

NECTOR IS DESIGNED TO DETECT

PARKED STATUS AND MUST BE CON-

NECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY SIDE

OF THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH. IM-

PROPER CONNECTION OR USE OF

THIS LEAD MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE

LAW AND MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS IN-

JURY OR DAMAGE.

WARNING

!Use speakers over 50 W (output value) and be-

tween 4 Wto 8 W(impedance value). Do not

use 1 Wto 3 Wspeakers for this unit.

!The black cable is ground. When installing

this unit or power amp (sold separately), make

sure to connect the ground wire first. Make

sure that the ground cable is properly con-

nected to metal parts of the car body using a

spade terminal sold commercially. The ground

wire of the power amp and the one of this unit

or any other device must be connected to the

car separately with different screws. If the

screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out,

it could result in fire, generation of smoke or

malfunction.

!Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and nega-

tive grounding only. Failure to do so may result

in a fire or malfunction.

!To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-

function, be sure to follow the directions

below.

—Disconnect the negative terminal of the

battery before installation.

—Secure the wiring with cable clamps or ad-

hesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around

wiring that comes into contact with metal

parts to protect the wiring.

—Place all cables away from moving parts,

such as the shift lever and seat rails.

—Place all cables away from hot places,

such as near the heater outlet.

—Do not connect the yellow cable to the bat-

tery by passing it through the hole to the

engine compartment.

—Cover any disconnected cable connectors

with insulating tape.

—Do not shorten any cables.

—Never cut the insulation of the power cable

of this unit in order to share the power

with other devices. The current capacity of

the cable is limited.

—Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.

—Never wire the negative speaker cable di-

rectly to ground.

—Never band together negative cables of

multiple speakers.

!When this unit is on, control signals are sent

through the blue/white cable. Connect this

cable to the system remote control of an exter-

nal power amp or the vehicle’s auto-antenna

relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC).

If the vehicle is equipped with a glass anten-

na, connect it to the antenna booster power

supply terminal.

!Never connect the blue/white cable to the

power terminal of an external power amp.

Also, never connect it to the power terminal of

the auto antenna. Doing so may result in bat-

tery drain or a malfunction.
