Playback of CD-R/CD-RW discs may become impossible in case of direct exposure to sunlight, high temperatures, or the storage conditions 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)). This unit conforms to the track skip function of the CD-R/CD-RW disc. The tracks containing the track skip information are skipped automatically (in 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. Read the precautions with CD-R/CD-RW discs before using them.

Storage temperature range: 20 to +80 C At temperatures higher or lower than the operating temperature range the display may not operate normally. The LCD screen of this unit 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 display when it is opened. Also, do not attempt to carry out angle adjustment, or open/close the display by hand. Applying strong force to the display may damage it.

If an object gets between the display and main body, the display may stop working. Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose articles of clothing which could possibly get caught between the display and the main body and cause serious injury.
Liquid crystal display (LCD) screen
! If the display 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 damage the LCD screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause moisture to form inside the display resulting in possible damage. Also, if the display is cooled down by the cooler, the screen may become dark, or the life span of the small fluorescent tube used inside the display 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.

Handling the display

! When the display 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 unit, close the display and avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. ! The display should be used within the temperature ranges shown below. Operating temperature range: 10 to +50 C
! 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 display to prevent disruption of the video by the appearance of spots, colored stripes, etc.
Keeping the display in good condition
! When removing dust from the screen or cleaning the display, first turn the system power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth. ! When wiping the screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.

Small fluorescent tube

! A small fluorescent tube is used inside the display to illuminate the LCD screen. The fluorescent tube should last for approximately 10,000 hours, depending on operating conditions. (Using the display at low temperatures reduces the service life of the fluorescent tube.) When the fluorescent tube reaches the end of its useful life, the 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.

Connecting the Units

CAUTION: PIONEER does not recommend that you install or service your display yourself. Installing or servicing the product may expose you to risk of electric shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your display to authorized Pioneer service personnel. Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to remain exposed. Do not drill a hole into the engine compartment to connect the yellow lead of the unit to the vehicle battery. Engine vibration may eventually cause the insulation to fail at the point where the wire passes from the passenger compartment into the engine compartment. Take extra care in securing the wire at this point. It is extremely dangerous to allow the display lead to become wound around the steering column or gearshift. Be sure to install the display in such a way that it will not obstruct driving. Make sure that wires will not interfere with moving parts of the vehicle, such as the gearshift, parking brake or seat sliding mechanism. Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work properly.

WARNING: To avoid the risk of accident and the potential violation of applicable laws, the front DVD or TV (sold separately) feature should never be used while the vehicle is being driven. Also, Rear Displays should not be in a location where it is a visible distraction to the driver. 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 and this units DVD features should not be used.
This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage. To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the battery cable before beginning installation. Refer to the owners manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units, then make connections correctly. Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against metal parts. Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body. Dont pass the yellow lead through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This will damage the lead insulation and cause a very dangerous short. Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should. Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating. When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder. If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used, do not remove the caps attached to the end of the connector.
To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side is black. Connect the connectors of the same colors correctly. If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery may be drained when you are away from the vehicle for several hours. (Fig. 1)

Installation

Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected up properly, and the unit and the system work properly. Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions. Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications of the vehicle. Install the unit where it does not get in the drivers way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop. Do not install the display where it may (i) obstruct the drivers vision, (ii) impair the performance of any of the vehicles operating systems or safety features, including air bags, hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the drivers ability to safely operate the vehicle. The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it overheats, so dont install the unit anywhere hot for instance, near a heater outlet. If installation angle exceeds 30 from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance. (Fig. 8)
