described above while driving, they will be-
come disabled until you stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and (1) apply the parking brake, (2)
release the parking brake, and then (3) apply
the parking brake again. Please keep the
brake pedal pushed down before releasing the
parking brake.

when backing up, and whether the images are
used for checking the rear when the vehicle is
moving forward.

When no power is supplied to this unit,
such as when the vehicle battery is being
replaced, the microcomputer of this unit re-
turns to its initial condition. We recom-
mend that you transcribe the audio
adjustment data.

Before you start
defect or other reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing
it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound
come through clearly without annoying blar-
ing or distortion and, most importantly, with-
out 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.
CAUTION:
USE OF CONTROL OR ADJUSTMENT OR
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES
OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN
MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION
EXPOSURE.
CAUTION:
THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS
WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL INCREASE

outside sounds.
Avoid exposure to moisture.
If the battery is disconnected or discharged,
any preset memory will be erased.
!
Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

WARNING
!
LIGHT GREEN LEAD AT POWER CON-
NECTOR IS DESIGNED TO DETECT
PARKED STATUS AND MUST BE CON-
NECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY SIDE
OF THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH. IM-
PROPER CONNECTION OR USE OF
THIS LEAD MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE
LAW AND MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS IN-
JURY OR DAMAGE.
WARNING
!
To avoid the risk of accident and the potential
violation of applicable laws, no viewing of
front seat video should ever occur while the
vehicle is being driven. Also, rear displays
should not be in a location where they are visi-
bly distracting 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 unit’s DVD features should
not be used.
WARNING
!
!
Use speakers over 50 W (output value) and be-
tween 4 W to 8 W (impedance value). Do not
use 1 W to 3 W speakers for this unit.
The black cable is ground. When installing
this unit or power amp (sold separately), make
sure to connect the ground wire first. Make
sure that the ground cable is properly con-
nected to metal parts of the car body using a
spade terminal sold commercially. The ground
wire of the power amp and the one of this unit
or any other device must be connected to the
car separately with different screws. If the
screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out,
it could result in fire, generation of smoke or
malfunction.
CAUTION
!
PIONEER does not recommend that you in-
stall or service your display unit yourself. In-
stalling or servicing the product may expose
you to risk of electric shock or other hazards.
Refer all installation and servicing of your dis-
play unit to authorized Pioneer service person-
nel.
!
!
Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electri-
cal tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to re-
main exposed.
Do not drill a hole into the engine compart-
ment to connect the yellow cable of the dis-
play 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.

Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and nega-
tive grounding only. Failure to do so may result
in a fire or malfunction.
To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-
function, be sure to follow the directions
below.
— Disconnect the negative terminal of the
battery before installation.
— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or ad-
hesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around
wiring that comes into contact with metal
parts to protect the wiring.
— Place all cables away from moving parts,
such as the shift lever and seat rails.
— Place all cables away from hot places,
such as near the heater outlet.
— Do not connect the yellow cable to the bat-
tery by passing it through the hole to the
engine compartment.
— Cover any disconnected cable connectors
with insulating tape.
— Do not shorten any cables.
— Never cut the insulation of the power cable
of this unit in order to share the power
with other devices. The current capacity of
the cable is limited.
— Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.
— Never wire the negative speaker cable di-
rectly to ground.
— Never band together negative cables of
multiple speakers.

Firmly secure the iPod when driving. Do not let the
iPod fall onto the floor, where it may become jammed
under the brake or accelerator pedal.
Playback of the DVD side is possible with this unit.
However, since the CD side of DualDiscs is not physi-
cally compatible with the general CD standard, it may
not be possible to play the CD side with this unit.
Frequent loading and ejecting of a DualDisc may re-
sult in scratches on the disc. Serious scratches can
lead to playback problems on this unit. In some
cases, a DualDisc may become stuck in the disc load-
ing slot and will not eject. To prevent this, we recom-
mend you refrain from using DualDisc with this unit.
Please refer to the information from the disc manu-
facturer for more detailed information about

To specify the playback sequence, the follow-
ing method is recommended.
1 Create a file name that includes numbers that
specify the playback sequence (e.g.,
001xxx.mp3 and 099yyy.mp3).
2 Put those files into a folder.
3 Save the folder that contains the files to the
external storage device (USB).
However, depending on the system environ-
ment, you may not be able to specify the play-
back sequence.
For USB portable audio players, the sequence
is different and depends on the player.
