To Protect the LCD Screen
❒ Do not allow direct sunlight to fall on the dis-
play when this product is not being used.
Extended exposure to direct sunlight can
result in LCD screen malfunction due to the

For Viewing LCD Comfortably
Due to its construction, the viewing angle of the
LCD screen is limited. The viewing angle (vertical
and horizontal) can be increased, however, by
using BRIGHTNESS 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.

audio language, subtitle language, angle number
and aspect ratio during disc playback for up to 30
discs. Without any special operations, the final
setting details during playback of a disc are
memorised. The next time a disc is played, the
previous settings are automatically applied.
❒ With some discs, audio language and subtitle
language are automatically specified, in
which case condition memory does not function.

Handling and Care of the Disc
Some basic precautions are necessary when
handling your discs.
DVD Map Discs
• Do not use discs other than those intended for
this product. Use only discs approved by Pioneer.
➲ For suitable discs ➞ Page 5
❒ If you wish to use other DVD Map Discs,
first check that they are compatible with
this equipment and approved by Pioneer.
DVD drive and care
• Use only normal, round discs. If you insert
irregular, non-round shaped discs they may
Appendix
jam in the DVD drive or not play properly.
• Check all discs for cracks, scratches or warpage before playing. Discs that have cracks or
scratches, or those that are warped may not
play properly. Do not use such discs.
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed side)
surface when handling the disc.
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.
• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not
expose the discs to high temperatures.
• Do not attach labels to, write on or apply chemicals to the surface of the discs.
• To clean dirt from a disc, wipe the disc with a
soft cloth outward from the centre of the disc.
• If the heater is used in cold weather, condensation may form on components inside the DVD
drive. Condensation may cause the DVD drive
to operate incorrectly. If you think that condensation is a problem, turn off the DVD drive for
an hour or so to allow the DVD drive to dry out,
and wipe any damp discs with a soft cloth to
remove the moisture.
• Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.

product (in the case of audio data (CD-DA)).
• If you insert a CD-RW disc into this product,
time to play back will be longer than when you
insert a conventional CD or CD-R disc.
• Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW discs
before using them.
MP3 files
Important:
• When naming an MP3 file, add the corresponding filename extension (.mp3).
• This product plays back files with the filename
extension (.mp3) as MP3 files. To prevent noise
and malfunctions, do not use this extension for
files other than MP3 files.
• MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and
refers to an audio compression technology
standard.
• This product allows playback of MP3 files on
CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc recordings can be played back if they are compatible
with level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660 and with the
Romeo and Joliet file system.
• It is possible to play back multi-session compatible recorded discs.
• MP3 files are not compatible with packet write
data transfer.
• The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a file name, including the
extension (.mp3), is 30 characters from the first
character.
• The maximum number of characters which
can be displayed for a folder name is 30 characters.
• For files recorded according to the Romeo and
Joliet file system, only the first 30 characters
can be displayed. Depending on the width of
the characters, the screen may not be able to
display 30 characters.
• When playing discs with MP3 files and audio
data (CD-DA) such as CD-EXTRA and MIXEDMODE CDs, both types can be played only by
switching mode between MP3 and CD-DA.
• The folder selection sequence for playback and
other operations is the writing sequence used
by the writing software. For this reason, the
expected sequence at the time of playback
may not coincide with the actual playback
sequence. However, there also are some writ-
ing software that permit the setting of the playback order.
• Some audio CDs contain tracks that merge
into one another without a pause. When these
discs are converted to MP3 files and burned to
a CD-R/CD-RW/CD-ROM, the files will be
played back on this player with a short pause
between each one, regardless of the length of
the pause between tracks on the original audio
CD.
• Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0
and Ver. 1.1 formats for display of album (disc
title), track (track title) and artist (track artist).
• The emphasis function is valid only when MP3
files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequencies are
played back. (16, 22.05, 24, 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
sampling frequencies can be played back.)
• There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
• There is no compatibility with the MP3i (MP3
interactive) or MP3 PRO formats.
• The sound quality of MP3 files generally
becomes better with an increased bit rate. This
product can play recordings with bit rates from
8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to
enjoy sound of a certain quality, we recommend using only discs recorded with a bit rate
of at least 128 kbps.
About folders and MP3 files
• An outline of a CD-ROM with MP3 files on it is
shown below. Subfolders are shown as folders
in the folder currently selected.
❒ The following figure is an example of the tier
structure in the CD. The numbers in the figure
indicate the order in which folder numbers
are assigned and the order to be played back.

Notes:
• This product assigns folder numbers. The user
can not assign folder numbers.
• If you are using a folder that does not contain
an MP3 file, the folder itself will display but you
will not be able to see any files in the folder.
• MP3 files in up to 8 tiers of folders can be
played back. However, there is a delay in the
start of playback on discs with numerous tiers.
For this reason we recommend creating discs
with no more than 2 tiers.
• It is possible to play back up to 253 folders on
one disc.
Ambient conditions for playing
disc
• At extremely high temperatures, a temperature
cutoff protects this product by switching it off
automatically.
• Despite our careful design of the product, as a
result of mechanical wear, ambient conditions
for use, or handling of the disc, small
scratches that do not affect actual operation
may appear on the disc surface. This is not a
sign of the malfunction of this product. Consider it to be normal wear and tear.
Using the Navigation System
Correctly
• If liquid or foreign matter should get inside
this navigation system, turn off the power
immediately and consult your dealer or the
nearest authorised PIONEER Service Station. Do not use the navigation system in
this condition because doing so may result
in a fire, electric shock, or other failure.
• If you notice smoke, a strange noise or
smell from the navigation system, or any
other abnormal signs on the LCD screen or
Sub display, turn off the power immediately and consult your dealer or the nearest authorised PIONEER Service Station.
Using this navigation system in this condition may result in permanent damage to
the system.
• Do not disassemble or modify this navigation system, as there are high-voltage
components inside which may cause an
electric shock. Be sure to consult your
dealer or the nearest authorised PIONEER
Service Station for internal inspection,
adjustments or repairs.

Handling the display unit
• When the LCD panel is subjected to direct sunlight for a long period of time, it will become
very hot, resulting in possible damage to the
LCD screen. When not using this navigation
system, close the LCD panel and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as much as possible.
• The display unit should be used within the temperature ranges shown below.
• Operating temperature range: –10 °C to +50 °C
• Storage temperature range: –20 °C to +80 °C
• Do not use the display unit at temperatures
higher or lower than the operating temperature
range because the display unit may not operate normally and the display unit can be damaged.
• The LCD screen is exposed in order to increase
its visibility within the vehicle. Please do not
press strongly on it as this may damage it.
• Do not place anything on the LCD panel when
it is deployed. Also, do not attempt to carry out
angle adjustment, or open/close the LCD panel
by hand. Applying strong force to the LCD
panel may damage it.
• Do not push the LCD screen with much force
as this may scratch it.
• Never touch the LCD screen with anything
besides your finger when operating the Touch
Panel functions. The LCD screen can scratch
easily.
• Be careful not to place anything between the
LCD panel and the main body when the LCD
panel is opening or closing. If an object gets
between the LCD panel and main body, the
LCD panel may stop working.
Liquid crystal display (LCD)
screen
• If the LCD panel is near the vent of an air conditioner when it is opened, make sure that air
from the air conditioner is not blowing on it.
Heat from the heater may break the LCD
screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause
moisture to form inside the display unit, resulting in possible damage. Also, if the LCD panel
is cooled down by the air conditioner, the LCD
screen may become dark, or the life span of
the small fluorescent tube used inside the LCD
panel may be shortened.
• Small black dots or white dots (bright dots)
may appear on the LCD screen. These are due
to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do
not indicate a problem with the display unit.
• At low temperatures, the LCD screen may be
dark for a while after the power is turned on.
• The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
• When using a portable phone, keep the aerial
of the portable phone away from the display
unit to prevent disruption of the video with disturbances such as spots or coloured stripes.
Keeping the LCD screen in good
condition
• When removing dust from the LCD screen or
cleaning the LCD screen, first turn the system
power off, then wipe with the supplied cloth.
• When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to
scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.
Appendix
• Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose
articles of clothing which could possibly
get caught between the LCD panel and the
main body and cause serious injury.
Small fluorescent tube
• A small fluorescent tube is used inside the display to illuminate the LCD screen.
— The fluorescent tube should last for approx-
imately 10 000 hours, depending on operating conditions. (Using the display unit at
low temperatures reduces the service life of
the fluorescent tube.)
— When the fluorescent tube reaches the end
of its useful life, the LCD screen will be dark
and the image will no longer be projected. If
this happens, consult your dealer or the
nearest authorised PIONEER Service Station.
