Manual de instrucciones
Thank you for purchasing this PIONEER
product.
To ensure proper use, please read through this
manual before using this product. It is especially important that you read and observe
WARNINGs and CAUTIONs in this manual.
Please keep the manual in a safe and accessible
place for future reference.

Information to User
Alteration or modifications carried out without
appropriate authorization may invalidate the
user’s right to operate the equipment.
For Canadian model
This Class B digital apparatus complies with
Canadian ICES-003.
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.
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.

! To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-
function, be sure to follow the directions
below.
— Disconnect the negative terminal of the
battery before installation.
— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or ad-
hesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around
wiring that comes into contact with metal
parts to protect the wiring.
— Place all cables away from moving parts,
such as the gear shift and seat rails.
— Place all cables away from hot places,
such as near the heater outlet.
— Do not connect the yellow cable to the bat-
tery by passing it through the hole to the
engine compartment.
— Cover any disconnected cable connectors
with insulating tape.
— Do not shorten any cables.
— Never cut the insulation of the power cable
of this unit in order to share the power
with other devices. The current capacity of
the cable is limited.
— Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.
— Never wire the negative speaker cable di-
rectly to ground.
— Never band together negative cables of
multiple speakers.
! When this unit is on, control signals are sent
through the blue/white cable. Connect this

relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC).
If the vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, connect it to the antenna booster power
supply terminal.
! Never connect the blue/white cable to the
power terminal of an external power amp.
Also, never connect it to the power terminal of
the auto antenna. Doing so may result in battery drain or a malfunction.

To clean a CD, wipe the disc with a soft cloth outward
from the center.
Condensation may temporarily impair the player’s
performance. Let it rest for about one hour to adjust
to a warmer temperature. Also, wipe any damp discs
off with a soft cloth.
Playback of discs may not be possible because of
disc characteristics, disc format, recorded application, playback environment, storage conditions, and
so on.
Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.
USB storage device
Connections via USB hub are not supported.
Do not connect anything other than a USB storage
device.
Firmly secure the USB storage device when driving.
Do not let the USB storage device fall onto the floor,
where it may become jammed under the brake or accelerator pedal.
Depending on the USB storage device, the following
problems may occur.
! Operations may vary.
! The storage device may not be recognized.
! Files may not be played back properly.
! The device may generate noise in the radio.
DualDiscs
DualDiscs are two-sided discs that have a recordable
CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for
video on the other.
Since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physically compatible with the general CD standard, it may not be
possible to play the CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may result in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can
lead to playback problems on this unit. In some
cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.
Please refer to the information from the disc manufacturer for more detailed information about DualDiscs.
