It is not possible to play back DVD audio discs. This DVD drive may not be able to play all discs bearing the marks shown above.
DVD-Video disc region numbers
DVD-Video discs that have incompatible region numbers cannot be played on this DVD drive. The region number of the player can be found on the bottom of this product. The illustration below shows the regions and corresponding region numbers.

When the number of discs exceeds 30, settings for the new disc replace those for the oldest disc.

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.
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 center of the disc.
When DVD-R/DVD-RW discs are used, playback is possible only for discs which have been recorded in Video format (video mode). It is not possible to play back DVD-RW discs which have been recorded in Video Recording format (VR mode). It may not be possible to play back DVD-R/ DVD-RW discs which have been recorded in Video format (video mode) because of disc characteristics, scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt, scratches or condensation on the lens of this product. It is not possible to play back general DVDROM discs or DVD-RAM discs. Only the DVDROM disc authorized by Pioneer can be read. Playback of discs recorded on a personal computer 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 application.)

About playing Dual Disc

Dual Discs are two-sided discs that have a recordable CD for audio on one side and a recordable DVD for video on the other. Playback of the DVD side is possible with this unit. However, since the CD side of Dual Discs is not physically compatible with the general CD standard, it may not be possible to play the CD side with this navigation system. Frequent loading and ejecting of a Dual Disc may result in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can lead to playback problems on this navigation system. In some cases, a Dual Disc may become stuck in the disc loading slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recommend you refrain from using Dual Disc with this navigation system. Please refer to the manufacturer for more detailed information about Dual Discs.
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.
DVD discs and other DVD media types
It may not be possible to use certain functions with some DVD-Video discs. It may not be possible to play back some DVD video discs. When DVD-R/DVD-RW discs are used, playback is possible only for discs which have been finalized. 18

USE OF THE GRACENOTE COMPONENT OR ANY GRACENOTE SERVER. IN NO CASE WILL GRACENOTE BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS OR LOST REVENUES.

Other Precautions

Part of the data cannot be acquired. The contents of the data in the Gracenote Database included in the hard disk drive are not 100% guaranteed. The Gracenote Database included in the hard disk drive contains the titles for the most frequently accessed albums worldwide as of 2005 November.
Using the LCD panel Correctly Handling the LCD panel
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. 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, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as much as possible. The LCD panel should be used within the temperature ranges shown below. Operating temperature range: +14 F to +122 F Storage temperature range: 4 F to +176 F Do not use the LCD panel at temperatures higher or lower than the operating temperature range because the LCD panel may not operate normally and the LCD panel 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. 21
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. (The stylus is supplied for special calibrations. Do not use the stylus for normal operation.) Be careful not to place anything between the LCD panel and the main body when the LCD panel is closing. If an object gets between the LCD panel and main body, the LCD panel may stop working.
About small fluorescent tube
A small fluorescent tube is used inside the display to illuminate the LCD screen. The fluorescent tube should last for approximately hours, depending on operating conditions. (Using the navigation system 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 Station.

About 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 this product, 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 navigation system. 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 antenna of the portable phone away from the navigation system to prevent disruption of the video with disturbances such as spots or colored 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 soft dry cloth. When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.
