Notes

! Audio unit adjustment requires technical

skills and knowledge of the automobile sound
system, acoustic field, amplifier characteris­tics and speaker characteristics. If adjust­ments are difficult or sound is unsatisfactory,
please contact an authorized Pioneer dealer.

! When adjustments have already been made at

your dealer, the optimum setup for the vehi­cle’s particular interior has been installed in
the memory. In this case, recall the corre­sponding memory for use. For details, refer to
the audio unit’s owner’s manual.

Differentia of the audio
function

function, volume level for each source is
set as follows:
— Multi-CD player, CD and AUX3 are set to

the same volume adjustment automati­cally.

— AUX2, AUX5, external unit 1 and exter-

nal unit 2 are set to the same volume ad­justment automatically.

— Discrete volume adjustment can be set

to television, DVD, iPod, AUX1 and
AUX4.

! Up to four audio settings can be stored in

memory.
— When using this unit with RS-A9 or RS-

P90 :
two base memories, two custom mem­ories and a last memory can be used.

Installation

Important

! Check all connections and systems before

final installation.

! Do not use unauthorized parts. Use of un-

authorized parts may cause malfunctions.

! Consult your dealer if installation requires dril-

ling of holes or other modifications to the vehi­cle.

! Install the unit where it will not get in the dri-

ver’s way and will not injure passengers if
there is a sudden stop.

! When mounting this unit, make sure none of

the leads are trapped between this unit and
the surrounding metalwork or fittings.

! Do not mount this unit near heater outlets

where it would be affected by heat, or near the
doors where rainwater might splash onto it.

! Before drilling any mounting holes, always

check behind where you want to drill the
holes. Do not drill into the gas line, brake line,
electrical wiring or other important parts.

! If this unit is installed in the passenger com-

partment, anchor it securely so it does not
break free while the vehicle is moving, caus­ing injury or an accident.

! If this unit is installed under the front seat,

make sure it does not obstruct seat move­ment. Route all leads and cords carefully
around the sliding mechanism so they do are
not caught or pinched in the mechanism and
cause a short-circuit.
