two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that
may cause undesired operation of this device.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna
or transmitter.
The antenna for Bluetooth cannot be removed
(or replaced) by user.
This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment
has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed
to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). But it is desirable that
it should be installed and operated keeping the
radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s body (excluding extremities: hands,
wrists, feet and ankles).
Note
This equipment has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to tr y to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Before you start
Information to User
Alteration or modifications carried out without
appropriate authorization may invalidate the
user’s right to operate the equipment.
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 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.
En

Page 8
Section
02
Before you start
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 distortion.
! 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:
— The speakers are incorrectly connected.
(For example, when a rear speaker is connected 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.

amp with an LPF, turn this LPF off before
performing auto EQ. Also set the cut-off frequency for the built-in LPF of an active subwoofer to the highest frequency.
! The distance has been calculated by com-
puter to be the optimum delay to give accurate 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:

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 visibly 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. 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.
! It is extremely dangerous to allow the micro-
phone lead to become wound around the
steering column or shift lever. Be sure to install the unit in such a way that it will not obstruct driving.
! Make sure that cables will not interfere with
moving parts of the vehicle, such as the shift
lever, parking brake or seat sliding mechanism.
! 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 W to 8 W (impedance value). Do not
use 1 W to 3 W speakers 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.
