VCR1 IN (VCR1 input) has a component video
input (VCR1 [COMPONENT]) as well as an
RCA video input (VCR1).
! VCR1 [COMPONENT] is a component video
from the AV device connected to COMPO-NENT (component input) of VCR1 IN (VCR1
input).
! In VCR1 IN (VCR1 input), COMPONENT (com-
ponent input) is given priority over RCA input
when both inputs are connected at the same
time.
! A video input terminal which is not connected
cannot be selected.
! VCR1 is selected when no connection is made
for both VCR1 IN (VCR1 input) and VCR2 IN
(VCR2 input).

Operating this unit
JUST (just)
The picture is enlarged slightly at the center and
the amount of enlargement increases horizontally
to the ends, enabling you to enjoy a 4:3 picture
without sensing any disparity even on a wide
screen.
CINEMA (cinema)
The picture is enlarged by the same proportion as
FULL or ZOOM in the horizontal direction and by
an intermediate proportion between FULL and
ZOOM in the vertical direction; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide screen picture) where captions lie outside.
ZOOM (zoom)
A 4:3 picture is enlarged in the same proportion
both vertically and horizontally; ideal for a cinema-sized picture (wide screen picture).
NORMAL (normal)
A 4:3 picture is displayed as it is, giving you no
sense of disparity since its proportions are the
same as that of the normal picture.
Notes
! Different settings can be memorized for each
video source.
! When video is viewed in a wide screen mode
that does not match its original aspect ratio, it
may appear different.

CAUTION
! PIONEER does not recommend that you in-
stall or service your display unit yourself. Installing or servicing the product may expose
you to risk of electric shock or other hazards.
Refer all installation and servicing of your display unit to authorized Pioneer service personnel.
! Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electri-
cal tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to remain exposed.
! Do not drill a hole into the engine compart-
ment to connect the yellow cable of the display 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.
! Make sure that cables will not interfere with
moving parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift, parking brake or seat sliding mechanism.
! Do not shorten any cables. If you do, the pro-
tection circuit may fail to work properly.
