Do not attach labels to, write on, or apply chemicals to the surface of the discs. To clean dirt from a disc, wipe the disc with a soft cloth outward from the center of the disc.

Condition memory
This function memorizes selections made for audio language, subtitle language, angle number, and aspect ratio during disc playback for up to 30 discs. The final settings during playback of a disc are memorized without requiring special operations. The next time a disc is played, the previous settings are automatically applied. With some discs, audio language and subtitle language are automatically specified, in which case condition memory does not function. When the number of discs exceeds 30, settings for the new disc replace those for the oldest disc.

If the heater is used in cold weather, condensation may form on components inside the DVD drive. Condensation may cause the DVD drive to operate incorrectly. If you think that condensation is a problem, turn off the DVD drive for an hour or so to allow the DVD drive to dry out, and wipe any damp discs with a soft cloth to remove the moisture. Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.

Ambient conditions for playing disc

At extremely high temperatures, a temperature cutoff protects this product by switching it off automatically. Despite our careful design of the navigation system, as a result of mechanical wear, ambient conditions for use or handling of the disc, small scratches that do not affect actual operation may appear on the disc surface. This is not a sign of the malfunction of this navigation system. Consider it to be normal wear and tear.

DVD drive and care

Use only normal, round discs. If you insert irregular, non-round shaped discs, they may jam in the DVD drive or not play properly.

Using the LCD Panel Correctly Handling the LCD panel

Be careful of fingers, long hair, and loose articles of clothing which could possibly get caught between the LCD panel and the main body and cause serious injury.

Check all discs for cracks, scratches or warpage before playing. Discs that have cracks or 18

 When the LCD panel 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 navigation system, avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as much as possible. The LCD panel should be used within the temperature ranges shown below. Operating temperature range: +14 F to +122 F Storage temperature range: 4 F to +176 F Do not use the LCD panel at temperatures higher or lower than the operating temperature range because the LCD panel may not operate normally and the LCD panel can be damaged. The LCD screen 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 LCD panel when it is opened. Also, do not attempt to manually adjust the angle or open/close the LCD panel. Applying strong force to the LCD panel may damage it. Do not push on the LCD screen with a large amount of force as this may scratch it. Never touch the LCD screen with anything besides your finger when operating the Touch Panel functions. The LCD screen can scratch easily. (The stylus is supplied for special calibrations. Do not use the stylus for normal operation.) Be careful not to place anything between the LCD panel and the main body when the LCD panel is closing. If an object gets between the LCD panel and main body, the LCD panel may stop working.

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 navigation system. 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 cellular phone, keep the antenna of the cellular phone away from the navigation system to prevent video disruption with disturbances such as spots or colored stripes.

Keeping the LCD screen in good condition

When removing dust from the LCD screen or cleaning the LCD screen, first turn the system power off, then wipe with a soft dry cloth. When wiping the LCD screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemical cleaners.

About 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 navigation system at low temperatures reduces the service life of the fluorescent tube.) When the fluorescent tube reaches the end of its life, the LCD 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.

About liquid crystal display (LCD) screen

If the LCD panel is near the vent of an air conditioner when it is opened, make sure that air from the air conditioner is not directly blowing on the panel. Heat from the heater may break the LCD screen, and cool air from the air conditioner may cause moisture to form inside the product, resulting in possible damage. Also, if the LCD panel is cooled down by the air conditioner, the LCD screen may become dark, or the life span of the small fluorescent tube used inside the LCD panel may be shortened.
