local time may result in the product providing
improper routing and guidance instructions.

❒ Never set the volume of your Navigation Sys-

tem so high that you cannot hear outside traf­fic and emergency vehicles.

background pictures. The following two types of
background pictures can be changed:

• AV Background : Background for the screen

during the operation of audio, or during play­back.

• Navigation Background : Background of

navigation menu screen.
Several background pictures are stored in the
Pioneer DVD map disc. If you want to use these
pictures, insert the Pioneer DVD map disc.
Here, a method of changing background picture
is described with an example of loading the pic­ture stored on a CD-R (-RW) onto the navigation
system as the background picture.

Basics of Voice Operation

Your Pioneer Navigation System comes with the
latest in voice recognition technology. You can
use voice commands to operate many of its func­tions. This chapter describes where you can use
voice commands, and also what commands the
system accepts.

❒ In order to operate the navigation unit by

voice, you need the microphone kit (CD­VC1), which is sold separately. Please
refer to the “Owner’s Manual” for the
microphone kit.

❒ Some voice commands cannot be used

during the memory navi mode.

Flow of voice operation

You can start voice operation any time even when
the map screen is displayed or audio is operated.
The basic steps of voice operation are as follows.

1 Touch VOICE icon to activate voice

operation.

2 Speak a command into the micro-

phone.

When using voice operation for the first
time

Until you are familiar with this system, it is rec­ommended to stop the vehicle in a safe place and
refer to the commands displayed in the Voice
Help menu (a list of the words you can speak).
When your vehicle is parked with the handbrake
on, Touch VOICE icon to display a list of availa­ble voice commands (Voice Help menu). Display
