Appendix

Handling and Care of the Disc

Some basic precautions are necessary when handling your discs.

Discs you can use

???Do not use discs other than those intended for this product. Use only discs approved by Pioneer.

DVD-ROM drive and care

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

???Check all discs for cracks, scratches or warping before playing. Discs that have cracks, scratches or are warp- ing may not play properly. Do not use such discs.

???Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed side) surface when handling the disc.

???Store discs in their cases when not in use.

???Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not expose the discs to high temperatures.

???Do not attach labels, 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.

???If the heater is used in cold weather, moisture may form on components inside the DVD-ROM drive. Con- densation may cause the DVD-ROM drive to not oper- ate properly. If you think that condensation is a problem turn off the DVD-ROM drive for an hour or so to allow the DVD-ROM 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 cutout protects the Navigation System by switching it off automatically.

???Despite our careful design of the product, 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 the unit. Consider it to be normal wear and tear.

Resetting the System

On occasion, you may need to reset your Naviga- tion System.

???For details, refer to ???About the Data being Deleted??? in ???Operation Manual???.

When a reset is necessary

You should reset the system in the following situations:

???After installation of this unit in your vehicle.

???If there appear to be problems with the operation of the system.

???If there are problems with the display.

???When changing the combination of the equipment.

Using the reset button

The reset button is recessed in the front of the main unit to prevent it being pressed accidentally. Look for it at the top right-hand corner of the front panel.

Insert a pointed implement such as a ballpoint pen into the small hole and push.

Reset button

If you have connected other equipment (for example, a display or AV Head Unit) to this by cable, be sure to reset that equipment too.
