Connecting the Units  
Note:  
This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and  
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-  
ational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery  
voltage.  
Speakers connected to this unit must be high-  
power types possessing minimum rating of 40 W  
and impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speak-  
ers with output and/or impedance values other  
than those noted here can damage the speakers.  
When an external power amp is being used with  
this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white  
lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do  
not connect the blue/white lead to the power ter-  
minal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could  
cause excessive current drain and malfunction.  
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 col-  
ors 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 connect-  
ed to a terminal coupled with ignition switch  
ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehi-  
cle battery may be drained when you are away  
from the vehicle for several hours.  
To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to  
disconnect the battery cable before beginning  
installation.  
Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con-  
necting 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 insu-  
lation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a  
danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle  
body.  
Don’t 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.  
Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never  
wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or  
the left and right speaker leads are common.  
The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead  
separately from the ground of high-current prod-  
ucts such as power amps.  
ACC position  
No ACC position  
If you ground the products together and the  
ground becomes detached, there is a risk of dam-  
age to the products or fire.

Using RDS Functions  
What is RDS?  
RDS (Radio Data System) is a system for transmitting data along with FM programs. This  
data, which is inaudible, provides a variety of features such as: program service name, pro-  
gram type display, traffic announcement standby, automatic tuning and program type tun-  
ing, intended to aid radio listeners in tuning to a desired station.  
Note:  
RDS service may not be provided by all stations.  
RDS functions, like AF (Alternative Frequencies search) and TA (Traffic Announcement standby),  
are only active when your radio is tuned to RDS stations.  
Program Service Name Display  
With this function, the names of networks/stations providing RDS services replace the fre-  
quency on the display a few seconds after they are tuned in.  
• When you want to know PTY Information or the frequency of the current  
station, change the display.  
Each press changes the Display ...  
Each press of the DISP button selects the display in the following order:  
Program Service Name = PTY Information = Frequency  
Note:  
After switching displays, if you do not perform an operation within 8 seconds, the Program Service  
Name is automatically displayed.  
7 Displaying PTY Information  
PTY (Program Type ID code) information for the currently tuned station appears on the  
display for 8 seconds. The information is correlated with the list in the section “PTY List”  
on page 38.  
7 Frequency  
The frequency of the current station appears on the display.

AF Function (AF)  
The AF (Alternative Frequencies search) function is used to search for other frequencies in  
the same network as the currently tuned station. It automatically retunes the receiver to  
another frequency in the network which is broadcasting a stronger signal when there are  
problems with reception of the currently tuned station or better reception is possible on  
a different frequency.  
Note:  
AF tunes the receiver only to RDS stations when you use Seek tuning or BSM Auto Memory with  
the “AF” indicator ON.  
When you recall a preset station, the tuner may update the preset station with a new frequency from  
the station’s AF list. (This is only available when using presets on the FM1 band.) No preset num-  
ber appears on the display if the RDS data for the station received differs from that for the original-  
ly stored station.  
Sound may be temporarily interrupted by another program during an AF frequency search.  
When the tuner is tuned to a non-RDS station, the “AF” indicator flashes.  
AF can be switched ON or OFF independently for each FM band.  
Activating/Deactivating the AF Function  
AF is set to ON by default.  
1. Press the FUNCTION button and select the AF mode (AF) in the Function  
Menu.  
2. Activate or deactivate AF while in an FM band.  
“AF” disappears

Using RDS Functions  
PI Seek Function  
The tuner searches for another frequency broadcasting the same programming. “PI SEEK”  
appears on the display and the radio volume is muted during a PI Seek. The muting is discon-  
tinued after completion of the PI Seek, whether or not the PI seek has succeeded. If the PI Seek  
is unsuccessful, the tuner returns to the previous frequency.  
PI Seek  
If the tuner fails to locate a suitable alternative frequency or if the broadcasting signal is  
too weak for proper reception, the PI Seek will automatically start.  
Auto PI Seek (for preset station)  
When preset stations cannot be recalled, as when traveling long distances, the product can  
be set to perform PI Seek also during preset recall.  
The default setting for Auto PI Seek is OFF.  
Note:  
Refer to “Initial Setting Menu” for details on how to switch Auto PI Seek ON/OFF.  
Regional Function (REG)  
When AF is used to retune the tuner automatically, REG (Regional) limits the selection to  
stations broadcasting regional programs.  
Note:  
Regional programming and regional networks are organized differently depending on the country  
(i.e., they may change according to the hour, state or broadcast area).  
The preset number may disappear on the display if the tuner tunes in a regional station which dif-  
fers from the originally set station.  
Activating REG  
The REG function can be turned ON independently for each FM band.  
1. Press the FUNCTION button and select the REG mode (REG) in the  
Function Menu.  
2. Activate or deactivate REG while in an FM band.

TA Function (TA)  
The TA (Traffic Announcement standby) function lets you receive traffic announcements  
automatically, no matter what source (tuner, built-in MD player, multi-MD player or  
multi-CD player) you are listening to. The TA function can be activated for either a TP sta-  
tion (a station that broadcasts traffic information) or an EON TP station (a station carrying  
information which cross-references TP stations).  
Activating/Deactivating the TA Function  
1. Tune in a TP or EON TP station.  
The “TP” indicator lights when the tuner is tuned to a TP station, and both the “EON” and  
“TP” indicators light when it is tuned to an EON TP station.  
2. Activate the TA function.  
“TA”  
The “TA” indicator lights, indicating that the tuner is waiting for traffic announcements.  
Repeat the preceding operation when no traffic announcement is being received to deacti-  
vate the TA function.  
Note:  
You can also switch the TA Function ON/OFF in the Function Menu.  
The system switches back to the original source following traffic announcement reception.  
The TA function can be activated from the built-in MD player, multi-MD player or multi-CD play-  
er mode if the tuner was last set to the FM band but not if it was last set to the MW/LW band.  
If the tuner was last set to FM, turning on the TA function lets you operate other tuning functions  
while listening to an MD or a CD.  
Only TP or EON-TP stations are tuned in during the Seek Tuning mode when the “TA” indicator is  
ON.  
Only TP or EON-TP stations are stored by BSM when the “TA” indicator is ON.

ments.  
TP Alarm Function  
About 30 seconds after the “TP” or “EON” indicator is extinguished due to a weak signal,  
a 5 second beep sounds to remind you to select another TP or EON-TP station.  
• If you are listening to the tuner, tune in another TP station or EON-TP sta-  
tion.  
In the built-in MD player, multi-MD player or multi-CD player mode, the tuner automati-  
cally seeks out the TP station with the strongest signal in the current area 10 (or 30)* sec-  
onds after “TP” disappears from the display.

RFP Alert Function  
Operation of “RFP Alert”  
Providing the installation and setting of the “RFP Alert Setting Menu” has been performed  
correctly, operation of the “RFP Alert” is very simple.  
Arming Alert  
To arm your Alert simply turn off the ignition and detach the front panel, as described on  
page 52. After detaching the front panel the “RFP Alert” will automatically arm itself after  
30 seconds, providing all of the doors are closed. If after 30 seconds, a door still remains  
open the RFP Alert will not arm until the last door has been closed. After closing all of the  
doors, ensure that they are securely locked. The LED indicator on the head unit will flash  
as a visual deterrent. Your vehicle is now protected by your “RFP Alert”.  
Disarming Alert  
Upon entering your vehicle, and within the “Entry Delay Time” set within the “RFP Alert  
Menu”, attach your Pioneer Front Panel as described on page 52.  
If you have forgotten your removable front panel, simply insert the ignition key in the igni-  
tion and turn the key from “OFF” to “ON” within the “Entry Delay Time”.  
Entry Detection  
If the “RFP Alert” was not disarmed in accordance with “Disarming Alert”, the “RFP  
Alert” will be triggered. The “RFP Alert” will sound for 60 seconds and will repeat 5 times  
if any door is left open or reopened. After the fifth time the “RFP Alert” will reset to pre-  
vent continuous sounding and prevent your battery from discharging.  
Precaution:  
Upon returning to your vehicle and before opening any doors, check to see if the LED indicator  
is still flashing. If the LED is no longer flashing, it indicates that the Alert as sounded.  
Disarming, as described above, is still necessary.

MD Player and Care  
Precaution  
• Do not open the MD shutter by hand. Forcing it open may result in damage.  
Shutter  
• Be sure to stick labels supplied with MDs in the specified location. Failing to do this, or  
sticking one label on top of another may make it impossible for the MD to be removed.  
• Do not use MDs with labels that are not affixed correctly. Labels like this may catch on  
something, preventing removal of the MD. Before using an MD, remove the label if it is  
not correctly affixed, and replace it with a new label.  
• Keep MDs out of direct sunlight and high temperatures.  
• If the surface of an MD cartridge is dirty, wipe it gently with a clean, soft cloth.  
• Do not apply benzene, thinner or other volatile liquids to MDs.  
• When it’s cold, if you start playing an MD immediately after switching the heater in a  
room on, condensation on the optical lens inside the player or on the MD may prevent  
normal play. If this happens, turn off the player for about an hour to allow the condensa-  
tion to evaporate, and wipe damp MD cartridge surfaces with a soft cloth.
