Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and,
most importantly, without 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.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distor-
tion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,
we want you listening for a lifetime.
W e Want You Listening F or A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid pro longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Please Read All of These Instructions Regarding Your Display
and Retain them for Future Reference
1. Read this manual fully and carefully before operating your display.
2. Keep this manual handy for future reference.
3. Pay close attention to all warnings in this manual and follow the instructions carefully.
4. Never allow others to use the system until they have read and understood the
operating instructions.
5. Do not install the display where it may (i) obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair
the performance of any of the vehicle’s operating systems or safety features,
including airbags, or (iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the vehicle.
6. As with any accessory in your vehicle’s interior, the display should not divert
your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. If you experience difficulty in operating the system or reading the display, please park safely before making adjustments.
7. Do not attempt to install or service your display by yourself. Installation or servicing of the display by persons without training and experience in electronic
equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous and could expose you
to the risk of electric shock or other hazards.
8. Please remember to wear your seat belt at all times while operating your vehicle.
If you are ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe if
your seat belt is not properly buckled.
9. If this product is installed in a place where it is visible to the vehicle’s driver, you
MUST always set the [DISPLAY SETTING]to the [FRONT]setting. Failure to
do so could result in distracting images being potentially visible to the driver
while the vehicle is in motion.
If this product is installed in a place where it is not visible to the vehicle’s driver,
then you may choose the [REAR]location setting.
Use of this product is subject to any local laws regarding placement or use.
PIONEER Corporation cannot accept any liability for any problems, damage or
loss incurred as a result of the product being used with an incorrect setting or in
violation of any local laws.
This device senses whether the parking brake is on or off. When installed in the front, it is
arranged so that video cannot be viewed while the vehicle is moving. The various settings
and adjustments are also not possible while driving. (The following message will be displayed on the screen while the vehicle is moving.)
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, apply the parking brake, and wait for the message to be
cleared before starting operation.
When viewing is difficult, use [BRIGHT] and [DIMMER] to adjust
Due to its construction, the angle of view of the LCD screen is limited. The viewing angle
(vertical and horizontal) can be increased, however, by using [BRIGHT] to adjust the
black density of the video. When using for the first time, adjust the black density in accordance with the viewing angle (vertical and horizontal) to adjust for clear viewing.
[DIMMER] can also be used to adjust the brightness of the LCD screen itself to suit your
personal preference.
To avoid battery exhaustion
Always run the vehicle engine while using this device. Using this device without running
the engine can result in battery drainage.
Portable phone usage precautions
When using a portable phone, keep the antenna of the portable phone away from the
Display to prevent disruption of the video by the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.
To protect the LCD screen of the Display
• Do not allow direct sunlight to fall on the Display when this device is not being used.
Extended exposure to direct sunlight can result in LCD screen malfunction due to the
resulting high temperatures.
• Do not route wires where they will be exposed to high temperatures. If the insulation
heats up, wires may become damaged, resulting in a short circuit or malfunction.
