Dear Customer:

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear 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.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

- Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel

Level	Example
30	Quiet library, soft whispers
40	Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50	Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60	Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70	Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80	Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90	Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100	Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120	Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140	Gunshot blast, jet plane
180	Rocket launching pad

There are two types of equalizer curves: Default equalizer curves (Factory curves) and a user-defined equalizer curve (Custom).

Note:

- Four factory curves are provided: Super Bass, Powerful, Natural and Vocal.

About the Flat and Custom

Flat

No supplement or correction is made to the sound. A useful function to check the effect of the equalizer curves by switching alternatively between Flat and a set equalizer curve.

■ Custom

Custom can be stored as an adjusted equalizer curve.

Adjustment can be made by either using Graphic Equalizer or 13-Band Graphic Equalizer Adjustment.

Auto-equalizing Function

This product's Auto-equalizer automatically measures car interior acoustic characteristics, and then creates the Auto-equalizer curve based on that information.

Before Operating the Auto-equalization

■ WARNING:

- To prevent accidents, never perform Auto-equalizing when driving. When this function measures car interior acoustic characteristics to create an Auto-equalizer curve, a loud measurement tone (noise) may be output from the speakers.

■ Precaution:

• Performing Auto-equalizing under the following conditions may damage the speakers. Be sure to check conditions thoroughly before performing Auto-equalizing.
  * When speakers are incorrectly connected. (e.g. When a rear speaker is connected to a subwoofer output.)
  * When a speaker is connected to a power amp delivering output higher than the speaker's maximum input power capability.
• If the microphone is placed in an unsuitable position the measurement tone may become loud and measurement may take a long time, resulting in a drain on battery power. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified location. (Refer to page 54.)

■ Read this before performing Auto-equalizing

• Perform Auto-equalizing in as quiet a place as possible, with the car engine and air conditioning switched off. Also cut power to car or portable telephones in the car, or remove from the car before performing Auto-equalizing. Sounds other than the measurement tone (surrounding sounds, engine sound, telephones ringing etc.) may prevent correct measurement of car interior acoustic characteristics.
• Be sure to perform Auto-equalizing with the supplied microphone. Using another microphone will prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of car interior acoustic characteristics.
• With no front or rear speaker connected, Auto-equalizing cannot be performed.
• When connected to a power amp with input level control, Auto-equalizing may not be possible if you lower power amp input level. Set the power amp's input level to the standard position.
• After normal completion of Auto-equalizing, fader/balance settings (refer to page 43) return to the center position (initial settings).
• If you perform Auto-equalizing when Auto-equalizer curve already exists, the previous curve is erased.
• If you change the rear speaker output setting or the Subwoofer output setting after you performed Auto equalizing, Auto-equalizer curve is erased. In this case, perform Auto-equalizing again.
• If you perform Auto-equalizing, the equalizer curve switches to flat.
• If you perform Auto-equalizing while a Subwoofer is connected to this product, it will be adjusted automatically either Subwoofer output and High Pass Filter output settings or Non-Fading output level setting. (Subwoofer output or Non-Fading output is automatically turned on adjusted even if you have turned it off before.)

- After the Auto-equalizing function countdown has started, if you switch a source ON by loading a CD or with the voice controller, source Audio Menu 1 settings change. Do not switch a source ON after Auto-equalizing has begun.

Auto-equalizing

1. Select the position for the seat on which the microphone is placed.

(Refer to "Position Selector" on page 47.)

- When not setting for the “Front Seat Left” or “Front Seat Right”, if you start Autoequalizing, “Front Seat Left” is automatically selected.

1. Stop the car in a place that's as quiet as possible, close all doors, windows, the sun roof, and switch the engine off.

If the engine is left running, engine noise may prevent correct Auto-equalizing.

1. Fix the provided microphone in the center of the headrest of the driver's seat, facing forward, using the belt (sold separately).

The Auto-equalizer curve may differ depending on where you place the microphone. If desired, place the microphone on the front passenger seat and perform Auto-equalizing.

1. Switch the ignition switch to ON or ACC.

If the car's air conditioner or heater is switched on, switch it off. Noise from the fan in the air conditioner or heater may prevent correct Auto-equalizing.

1. Switch the source OFF.

Continued overleaf.

6. Enter the Auto-equalizing mode (Auto Equalizer).

The front panel opens automatically.

7. Plug the provided microphone into the microphone input jack on this unit.

Starter Disable

This function makes it virtually impossible for a would be thief to start your car when activated. This function is initially set “OFF”. If a “SPDT” relay, sold separately, is installed it can be used.

The method for disarming the “DFS Alarm” differs on whether or not this function is “ON” or “OFF”.

■ If this function is "ON" or "OFF"

The “DFS Alarm” can be disarmed if the Detach face is reattached within the “Entry Delay Time”.

■ If this function is "ON"

The “DFS Alarm” can be disarmed if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition within the “Entry Delay Time”, then the key is turned from “OFF” to “ON” 5 times within 1 minute.

■ If this function is "OFF"

The “DFS Alarm” can be disarmed if the ignition key is inserted in the ignition and turned from “OFF” position to the “ON” within the “Entry Delay Time”.

Note:

• In order for the “DFS Alarm” to operate when a window is broken, connect this product’s white/red (ALARM SENSOR) lead to glass sensor securely.
• In order for the “DFS Alarm” to operate when a door is forced open, connect this product’s white/yellow (DOOR SWITCH) lead securely.

Central Door Lock Systems

The “DFS Alarm” can be disarmed by unlocking the doors with a remote keyless entry system. If this product’s standby state is disarmed, the LED’s blinking speed becomes faster. (It can be understood if the “DFS Alarm” has been disarmed by the change in the LED’s blinking speed.)

Note:

• If the “DFS Alarm” is disarmed by the keyless entry system, it will remain disarmed. To reset, turn the ignition on after reattaching the face, then turn the ignition to the off position and remove the detachable face.
• If your vehicle is equipped with a central door lock but the glass or shock sensor is not connected, if the window is broken and the central door lock is released, this product's DFS Alarm will not operate.
• Pioneer recommends that both a shock sensor and glass sensor be installed when you are using the “Remote Disarming” feature.

Selecting the Door Lock Type

- Select the “Lock System: Negative” or “Lock System: Positive” for the correct door lock type with the ◀/▶ buttons.

Setup Lock System: Negative Current mode: Close SEL

Door Lock Confirmation

The door lock confirmation feature was incorporated to ensure that the correct door lock type has been selected. (e.g. Set to “Lock System: Negative, Current mode: Close”.)

• When the DFS Alarm is armed, you cannot disarm it by pressing the RESET button.

Operation of "DFS Alarm"

Providing the installation and setting of the “DFS Alarm Setting Menu” has been performed correctly, operation of the “DFS Alarm” is very simple.

Arming Alarm

To arm your Alarm simply turn off the ignition and detach the front panel, as described on page 57. After detaching the front panel the “DFS Alarm” will automatically arm itself after 30 seconds, providing all of the doors are closed. If after 30 seconds, a door still remains open the DFS Alarm 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 “DFS Alarm”.

Disarming Alarm

Upon entering your vehicle, and within the “Entry Delay Time” set within the “DFS Alarm Menu”, attach your Pioneer Detachable Face as described on page 58.

■ If you have forgotten the Detachable Face Panel:

If the “Starter Disable” is “ON”, insert the ignition key in the ignition within the “Entry Delay Time”, then turn the key from “OFF” to “ON” 5 times within 1 minute.

If the “Starter Disable” is “OFF”, insert the ignition key in the ignition and turn the key from “OFF” to “ON” within the “Entry Delay Time”.

CAUTION:

• If the starter motor will not run, the cause may be the DFS Alarm. To check whether the DFS Alarm is the cause, try switching the position of the switch installed according to the “Avoiding Trouble” section of the installation manual.
• If the DFS Alarm is the cause of the trouble, then the starter motor will run. In this case, confirm DFS Alarm operation in a safe place. If there is no problem, switch the switch back to its original position. If left at the newly switched position, some functions of the DFS Alarm will not operate.
• If the starter motor will not run after switching the switch, something other than the DFS Alarm may be causing the problem. Have the vehicle checked at a nearby dealer.

Entry Detection

If the “DFS Alarm” was not disarmed in accordance with “Disarming Alarm,” the “DFS Alarm” will be triggered. The “DFS Alarm” will sound for 60 seconds and will repeat 5 times if any door is left open or reopened. After the fifth time the “DFS Alarm” will reset to prevent 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 Alarm has sounded. Disarming, as described above, is still necessary.
