Introduction  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Elec-  
tronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that  
lets the sound come through loud and clear 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.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After  
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged  
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Vehicles that Cannot Obtain  
Speed Pulse Data  
If you wish to use other navigation discs,  
first check that they are compatible with  
this equipment and approved by Pioneer.  
The speed pulse data comes from the speed  
sensing circuit. The location of this speed sens-  
ing circuit depends on your vehicle model. In  
some cases, it is impossible to make a connec-  
tion to it, and in such a case we recommend that  
the ND-PG1 speed pulse generator (sold sepa-  
rately) be used.  
DVD drive and care  
• Use only normal, round discs. If you insert  
irregular, non-round, shaped discs they may  
jam in the DVD drive or not play properly.  
• Be sure to connect the speed pulse lead. If  
not, vehicle location error will increase.  
• Check all discs for cracks, scratches or warp-  
ing before playing. Discs that have cracks,  
scratches or are warped may not play properly.  
Do not use such discs.  
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed side)  
surface when handling the disc.  
Conditions Likely to Cause  
Noticeable Positioning Errors  
• 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, write on or apply chemi-  
cals to the surface of the discs.  
For various reasons such as the state of the road  
you are traveling on and the state of reception of  
the GPS signal, the actual position of your vehicle  
may differ from the position displayed on the map  
screen.  
Some types of vehicle may not output a speed  
signal while driving at just a few miles per hour.  
In such a case, the current location of your vehi-  
cle may not be displayed correctly while in a traf-  
fic jam or in a car park.  
• To clean dirt from a disc, wipe the disc with a  
soft cloth outward from the center of the disc.  
• The current vehicle position cannot be dis-  
played exactly under all conditions, due to vari-  
ations in satellite reception, road conditions,  
the vehicle’s condition, and any objects in con-  
tact with the antenna.  
• Also, GPS reception may be unavailable during  
certain weather conditions, when driving in  
tunnels or garages, or when signal interfer-  
ence may occur such as when driving between  
tall buildings or near large vehicles.  
• If the heater is used in cold weather, conden-  
sation may form on components inside the  
DVD drive. Condensation may cause the DVD  
drive to not operate properly. 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.  
Handling and Care of the Disc  
DVD discs  
• With some DVD video discs, it may not be pos-  
sible to use certain functions.  
Some basic precautions are necessary when  
handling your discs.  
20  
 
               
• It may not be possible to play back some DVD  
video discs.  
• Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW discs  
before using them.  
• When DVD-R/DVD-RW discs are used, play-  
back is possible only for discs which have been  
finalized.  
• When DVD-R/DVD-RW discs are used, play-  
back is possible only for discs which have been  
recorded with the Video format (video mode). It  
is not possible to play back DVD-RW discs  
which have been recorded with the Video  
Recording format (VR mode).  
• It may not be possible to play back DVD-R/  
DVD-RW discs which have been recorded with  
the Video format (video mode), because of disc  
characteristics, scratches or dirt on the disc,  
or dirt, condensation, etc. on the lens of this  
unit.  
• It is not possible to play back DVD-ROM discs  
other than Pioneer DVD map disc or DVD-RAM  
discs.  
MP3 files  
• MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3 and  
refers to an audio compression technology  
standard.  
• This unit allows playback of MP3 files on CD-  
ROM, CD-R and CD-RW discs. Disc recordings  
compatible with level 1 and level 2 of ISO9660  
and with the Romeo and Juliet file system can  
be played back.  
• It is possible to play back multi-session com-  
patible recorded discs.  
• MP3 files are not compatible with packet write  
data transfer.  
• The max. number of characters which can be  
displayed for a file name, including the exten-  
sion (.mp3), is 30 characters from the first  
character.  
• The max. number of characters which can be  
displayed for a folder name is 30 characters.  
• In case of files recorded according to the  
Romeo and Juliet 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 MIXED-  
MODE CDs, both types can be played only by  
switching mode between MP3 and CD-DA.  
• The folder selection sequence for playback and  
other operations becomes 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 is  
some writing software which permits setting of  
the playback order.  
• 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).  
• Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz fre-  
quencies are played back, the emphasis func-  
tion is valid. (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 format.  
• Playback of discs recorded on a personal com-  
puter may not be possible depending on the  
application settings and the environment.  
Please record with the correct format. (For  
details, contact the manufacturer of the appli-  
cation.)  
CD-R/CD-RW discs  
• When CD-R/CD-RW discs are used, playback  
is possible only for discs which have been  
finalized.  
• It may not be possible to playback CD-R/CD-  
RW discs recorded on a music CD recorder or  
a personal computer because of disc charac-  
teristics, scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt,  
condensation, etc. on the lens of this unit.  
• Playback of discs recorded on a personal com-  
puter may not be possible depending on the  
application settings and the environment.  
Please record with the correct format. (For  
details, contact the manufacturer of the appli-  
cation.)  
• Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may become  
impossible in case of direct exposure to sun-  
light, high temperatures, or the storage condi-  
tions in the vehicle.  
• Titles and other text information recorded on a  
CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be displayed by this  
unit (in the case of audio data (CD-DA)).  
• If you insert a CD-RW disc into this unit, time  
to playback will be longer than when you insert  
a conventional CD or CD-R disc.  
21  
 
   
• The sound quality of MP3 files generally  
becomes better with increasing bit rate. This  
unit can play recordings with bit rates from 8  
kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to  
enjoy a certain sound quality, it is recom-  
mended to use only discs recorded with a bit  
rate of at least 128 kbps.  
• 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.  
Important:  
• It is possible to play back up to 253 items from  
a folder on a single disc.  
• When naming an MP3 file, add the corre-  
sponding filename extension (.mp3).  
• This unit 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.  
Ambient conditions for playing  
disc  
• At extremely high temperatures, a temperature  
cutout protects this product by switching it off  
automatically.  
• Despite our careful design of the product, as a  
result of mechanical wear, ambient conditions

ing in possible damage. Also, if the LCD panel  
is cooled down by the cooler, 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.  
Handling the display unit  
• When the LCD panel is subjected to direct sun-  
light for a long period of time, it will become  
very hot resulting in possible damage to the  
LCD screen. When not using this unit, close  
the LCD panel and avoid exposing it to direct  
sunlight as much as possible.  
• The display unit should be used within the tem-  
perature ranges shown below.  
• Operating temperature range: –14 to +122 °F  
• Storage temperature range: –4 to +176 °F  
• Do not use the display unit at temperatures  
higher or lower than the operating tempera-  
ture 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.  
• When using a portable phone, keep the  
antenna of the portable phone away from the  
display unit to prevent disruption of the video  
by the appearance of spots, colored stripes,  
etc.  
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 abra-  
sive chemical cleaners.  
• 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.  
Small fluorescent tube  
• 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.  
• A small fluorescent tube is used inside the dis-  
play to illuminate the LCD screen.  
— The fluorescent tube should last for approx-  
imately 10,000 hours, depending on operat-  
ing 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 authorized PIONEER Service Sta-  
tion.  
• 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.
