WARNING
A loud tone (noise) may be emitted from the speakers when measuring the vehicle’s acoustics. Never
perform Auto EQ measurement while driving.
CAUTION
• Thoroughly check the conditions before performing Auto EQ as the speakers may be damaged if this
is performed under the following conditions:
– When the speakers are incorrectly connected. (For example, when a rear speaker is connected as a
subwoofer output.)
– When a speaker is connected to a power amp delivering output higher than the speaker’s
maximum input power capability.
• If a microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately) is not placed in the appropriate
location, the measurement tone may become loud and measurement may take a long time, resulting
in battery drainage. Be sure to place the microphone in the specified location.
▶Before operating the Auto EQ function
• Perform Auto EQ in a quiet place with the vehicle engine and air conditioning
switched off. Also, cut the power of car phones or cellular phones in the vehicle, or
remove them in advance. Surrounding sounds may prevent correct measurement of
the vehicle’s acoustics.
• Be sure to use the microphone for acoustical measurement (sold separately). Using
other microphones may prevent measurement, or result in incorrect measurement of
the vehicle’s acoustics.
• To perform Auto EQ, the front speakers must be connected.
• When this product is connected to a power amp with input level control, Auto EQ may
be impossible if the power amp’s input level is set below the standard level.
• When this product is connected to a power amp with an LPF (low pass filter), turn the
LPF off before performing Auto EQ. Also, set the cutoff frequency for the built-in LPF of
an active subwoofer to the highest frequency.
• The distance has been calculated by a computer to provide optimum delay to ensure
accurate results. Do not change this value.
– The reflected sound within the vehicle is strong and delay occurs.
– The LPF on active subwoofers or external amps delay the lower sounds.
• If an error occurs during measurement, check the following before measuring the
vehicle’s acoustics.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) uses a
network of satellites orbiting the Earth.
Each of the satellites, which orbit at a
height of 68 900 000 feet (21 000 km),
continually broadcasts radio signals giving
time and position information. This
ensures that signals from at least three can
be picked up from any open area on the
ground’s surface.
The accuracy of the GPS information
depends on how good the reception is.
When the signals are strong and reception
is good, GPS can determine latitude,
longitude and altitude for accurate
positioning in three dimensions. But if
signal quality is poor, only two dimensions,
latitude and longitude, can be obtained
and positioning errors are somewhat
greater.
The built-in sensor in the navigation
system also calculates your position. The
current location is measured by detecting
driving distance with the speed pulse, the
turning direction with the gyro sensor and
inclination of the road with the G sensor.

Positioning technology
Positioning by GPS
Positioning by dead reckoning
English
- 164 -
The built-in sensor can even calculate
changes of altitude, and correct the
discrepancies in the distance traveled
caused by driving along winding roads or
up slopes.
If you use this navigation system with
connecting the speed pulse, the system
will become more accurate than no
connection of speed pulse. So you connect
the speed pulse without fail to get the
accuracy of positioning.
• The position of the speed detection
circuit vary depending on the vehicle
model. For details, consult your
authorized Pioneer dealer or an
installation professional.
• Some types of vehicles may not output a
speed signal while driving at just a few
kilometers per hour. In such a case, the
current location of your vehicle may not
be displayed correctly while in traffic
congestion or in a parking lot.
For maximum accuracy, your navigation
system continually compares GPS data
with your estimated position as calculated
from the data of built-in sensor. However, if
only the data from the built-in sensor is
available for a long period, positioning
errors are gradually compounded until the
estimated position becomes unreliable. For
this reason, whenever GPS signals are
available, they are matched with the data
of the built-in sensor and used to correct it
for improved accuracy.
• If you use chains on your wheels for
winter driving or put on the spare wheel,
errors may suddenly increase because of
difference in wheel diameter. Initialize
the sensor status and it may recover the
accuracy to normal condition (page 136).
Map matching
As mentioned, the positioning systems
used by this navigation system are
susceptible to certain errors. Their
calculations may, on occasion, place you in
a location on the map where no road
exists. In this situation, the processing
system understands that vehicles travel
only on roads, and can correct your
position by adjusting it to a nearby road.
This is called map matching.
With map matching
Without map matching
Positioning errors are kept to a minimum
by combining GPS, dead reckoning and
map matching. However, in some
situations, these functions may not work

work together?

properly, and the error may become
bigger.
• GPS positioning is disabled if signals
cannot be received from more than two
GPS satellites.
• In some driving conditions, signals from
GPS satellites may not reach your vehicle.
In this case, it is impossible for the system
to use GPS positioning.
In tunnels or enclosed parking garages
Under elevated roads or similar
structures
When driving among high buildings
When driving through a dense forest
or tall trees
• If a car phone or cellular phone is used
near the GPS antenna, GPS reception may
be lost temporarily.
• Do not cover the GPS antenna with spray
paint or car wax, because this may block
the reception of GPS signals. Snow
buildup can also degrade the signals, so
keep the antenna clear.
NOTE
If a GPS signal has not been received for a
long time, your vehicle’s actual position
and the current position mark on the map
may diverge considerably or may not be
updated. In such case, once GPS reception
is restored, accuracy will be recovered.
Conditions likely to cause noticeable
positioning errors
For various reasons, such as the state of the
road you are traveling on and the
reception status of the GPS signal, the
actual position of your vehicle may differ
from the position displayed on the map
screen.

destination by applying certain built-in
rules to the map data. This section provides
some useful information about how a
route is set.
CAUTION
When a route is calculated, the route and
voice guidance for the route are
automatically set. Also, for day or time
traffic regulations, only information about
Route setting
information
Route search specifications
English
- 169 -
traffic regulations applicable at the time
when the route was calculated is
considered. One-way streets and street
closures may not be taken into
consideration. For example, if a street is
open during the morning only, but you
arrive later, it would be against the traffic
regulations so you cannot drive along the
set route. When driving, please follow the
actual traffic signs. Also, the system may
not know some traffic regulations.
• The calculated route is one example of
the route to your destination decided by
the navigation system while taking the
type of streets or traffic regulations into
account. It is not necessarily an optimum
route. (In some cases, you may not be
able to set the streets you want to take. If
you need to take a certain street, set a
waypoint on that street.)
• If the destination is too far, there may be
instances where the route cannot be set.
(If you want to set a long-distance route
going across several areas, set waypoints
along the way.)
• During voice guidance, turns and
intersections from the freeway are
announced. However, if you pass
intersections, turns, and other guidance
points in rapid succession, some may
delay or not be announced.
• It is possible that guidance may direct
you off a freeway and then back on again.
• In some cases, the route may require you
to travel in the opposite direction to your
current heading. In such cases, you are
instructed to turn around, so please turn
around safely by following the actual
traffic rules.
• In some cases, a route may begin on the
opposite side of a railway or river from
your actual current location. If this
happens, drive towards your destination
for a while, and try route calculation
again.
• When there is a traffic congestion ahead,
a detour route may not be suggested if
driving through the traffic congestion
would still be better than taking the
detour.
• There may be instances when the starting
point, the waypoint and the destination
point are not on the highlighted route.
• The number of traffic circle exits
displayed on the screen may differ from
the actual number of roads.
Route highlighting
• Once set, the route is highlighted in
bright color on the map.
• The immediate vicinity of your starting
point and destination may not be
highlighted, and neither will areas with
particularly complex road layouts.
Consequently, the route may appear to
be cut off on the display, but voice
guidance will continue.
Auto reroute function
• If you deviate from the set route, the
system will re-calculate the route from
that point so that you remain on track to
the destination.
• This function may not work under certain
conditions.
Some basic precautions are necessary
when handling your discs.

malfunction.
• 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 LCD screen to prevent disruption of
the video in the form of disturbances
such as spots or colored stripes.
• When removing dust from or cleaning
the LCD screen, first turn this product off
and then wipe the screen 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.
A light emitting diode is used inside the
display to illuminate the LCD screen.
• At low temperatures, using the LED
backlight may increase image lag and
degrade the image quality because of the
characteristics of the LCD screen. Image
quality will improve with an increase in
temperature.
• The product lifetime of the LED backlight
is more than 10 000 hours. However, it
may decrease if used in high
temperatures.
• If the LED backlight reaches the end of its
product lifetime, the screen will become
dimmer and the image will no longer be
visible. In that case, please consult your
dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer
Service Station.
