Before You Start

Thank you for purchasing this PIONEER product

To ensure proper use, please read through this guide before using this product. It is especially important that you read and observe WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in this guide. Please keep the guide in a safe and accessible place for future reference.

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 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.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL

• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

• Rear visibility systems (backup cameras) are required in certain new vehicles sold in the U.S. and Canada. U.S. regulations began according to a two year phase-in on May 1, 2016, and both the U.S. and Canada require that all such vehicles manufactured on or after May 1, 2018 have rear visibility systems. Owners of vehicles equipped with compliant rear visibility systems should not install or use this product in a way that alters or disables that system. If you are unsure whether your vehicle has a rear visibility system subject to the U.S. or Canadian regulations, please contact the vehicle manufacturer or dealer.
• Do not attempt to install or service this product by yourself. Installation or servicing of this product by persons without training and experience in electronic equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous and could expose you to the risk of electric shock, injury or other hazards.
• Do not attempt to operate the unit while driving. Make sure to pull off the road and park your vehicle in a safe location before attempting to use the controls on the device.
• This product contains chemicals known to the State of California and other governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

• Do not allow this unit to come into contact with moisture and/or liquids. Electrical shock could result. Also, damage to this unit, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids.
• Always keep the volume low enough to hear outside sounds.
• This product is evaluated in moderate and tropical climate condition under the Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus - Safety requirements, IEC 60065.

Connections

• When speaker output is used by 4 channels, use speakers rated over 50 W (maximum input power) and between 4 Ω to 8 Ω (impedance value). Do not use 1 Ω to 3 Ω speakers for this unit.
• When rear speaker output is used by a 2 Ω subwoofer, use speakers rated for over 70 W.
• Please refer to connections for a connection method.
• The black cable is ground. When installing this unit or power amp (sold separately), make sure to connect the ground wire first. Ensure that the ground wire is properly connected to metal parts of the car's body. 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.

Important

• 
  When installing this unit in a vehicle without an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, failure to connect the red cable to the terminal that detects operation of the ignition key may result in battery drain.
• Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.
• To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or malfunction, be sure to follow the directions below.
  • Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before installation.
  • Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive 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 battery 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 directly to ground.
  • Never band together negative cables of multiple speakers.
• When this unit is on, control signals are sent through the blue/white cable. Connect this cable to the system remote control of an external power amp or the vehicle's auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, connect it to the antenna booster power supply terminal.
• Never connect the blue/white cable to the power terminal of an external power amp. Also, never connect it to the power terminal of the auto antenna. Doing so may result in battery drain or a malfunction.
• The graphical symbol placed on the product means direct current.

Installing the microphone

The microphone should be placed directly in front of the driver at a suitable distance to pick up their voice clearly.

It is extremely dangerous to allow the microphone lead to become wound around the steering column or shift lever. Be sure to install the microphone in such a way that it will not obstruct driving. It is recommended to use the clamps (sold separately) to arrange the lead.

NOTE
Depending on the vehicle model, the microphone cable length may be too short when you mount the microphone on the sun visor. In such cases, install the microphone on the steering column.

To install on the sun visor

1. 
   Fit the microphone lead into the groove.
