About this manual
This unit features a number of sophisticated
functions ensuring superior reception and operation. All the functions have been designed for
the easiest possible use, but many are not selfexplanatory. This operation manual will help you
benefit fully from this unit’s potential and to
maximize your listening enjoyment.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself
with the functions and their operation by reading through the manual before you begin using
this unit. It is especially important that you read
and observe precautions on this page and in
other sections.
This manual mainly explains remote control
operation. However, in addition to those functions related with DVD/Video CD/CD operation
that can only be operated by the remote control,
there are also functions that can be operated
similarly by the head unit and functions that can
only be operated by the buttons provided for the
head unit.
Precautions
• Keep this manual handy as a reference for
operating procedures and precautions.
• Always keep the volume low enough so you
can hear sounds outside of the car.
• Protect this product from moisture.
• If the battery is disconnected or discharged,
the preset memory will be erased and must be
reprogrammed.
• Should this product fail to operate properly,
contact your dealer or nearest authorized
Pioneer Service Station.

To ensure safe driving
WARNING
• To avoid the risk of accident and the potential
violation of applicable laws, this product is not
for use with a video screen that is visible to

• 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.

the final setting details during playback of a disc
are memorized. The next time a disc is played,
the previous settings are automatically applied.
Notes
• With some discs, audio language and subtitle
language are automatically specified, in
which case condition memory does not function.
• When the number of discs exceeds 30, settings for the latest disc replace those for the
least recent disc.

Disc organization
DVD
On DVD-Video discs, the contents are divided
into titles which are in turn divided into chapters.
With video material, a single work (movie etc.)
usually corresponds to a single title, with different scenes corresponding to separate chapters.
With karaoke discs, one song corresponds to
one title.
However, some discs are not organized like this,
so bear this in mind when using the search
function.
Video CD and CD
On CDs and Video CDs, the contents are divided
into tracks. One track usually corresponds to
one song. On some discs, tracks may also feature an index.
With Video CDs featuring PBC (Playback
Control), you can use a menu to perform playback operations. It may not be possible to use
functions such as repeat and search.
