If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure it is properly disposed of after removal. The equipment should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

D3-4-2-2-1a_A1_En

CAUTION

The Ⓐ/I STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

2 Close the rear lid.

Simple line drawing of a rectangular object with a curved cutout and an arrow pointing to its side (no text or symbols)

The batteries included with the unit have been provided to allow you check product operation and may not last long. We recommend using alkaline batteries that have a longer life.

Caution

• When inserting the batteries, make sure not to damage the springs on the battery's terminals.
• Do not use any batteries other than the ones specified. Also, do not use a new battery together with an old one.
• When loading the batteries into the remote control, set them in the proper direction, as indicated by the polarity marks (⊕ and ⊖).

- Do not heat batteries, disassemble them, or throw them into flames or water.

- Batteries may have different voltages, even if they are the same size and shape. Do not use different types of batteries together.

- To prevent leakage of battery fluid, remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the remote control for a long period of time (1 month or more). If the fluid should leak, wipe it carefully off the inside of the case, then insert new batteries. If a battery should leak and the fluid should get on your skin, flush it off with large quantities of water.

- When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public institution's rules that apply in your country/area.

- WARNING

Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of batteries.

Using the remote control

The remote has a range of about 7 m at an angle of about 30^ from the remote sensor.

30° 30° 7 m

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the remote and the remote sensor on the unit.
• Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the unit's remote sensor.
• Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with each other. Avoid using remotes for other equipment located close to this unit.
• Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the operating range of the remote.

Music server

This unit can play the audio files stored on the PCs or other components on a Local Area Network (LAN).

Introduction

This unit allows you to listen to audio files or listen to Internet radio stations on a computer or other component connected to the unit via LAN interface. This chapter describes the setup and playback procedures required to enjoy these features. It is advisory that you also refer to the operation manual supplied with your network component.

• Photo or video files cannot be played back.
- With Windows Media Player 11 or Windows Media Player 12, you can even play back copyrighted audio files on this unit.

About playable DLNA network devices

This unit allows you to play music on media servers connected on an identical Local Area Network (LAN) as the unit. This unit allows you to play files stored on the following devices:

• PCs running Microsoft Windows Vista or XP with Windows Media Player 11 installed
• PCs running Microsoft Windows 7 with Windows Media Player 12 installed
- DLNA-compatible digital media servers (on PCs or other components)

Files stored in a PC or DMS (Digital Media Server) as described above can be played via command from an external Digital Media Controller (DMC). Devices controlled by this DMC to play files are called DMRs (Digital Media Renderers). This unit supports this DMR function. When in the DMR mode, such operations as playing and stopping files can be performed from the external controller. The DMR mode is canceled if the remote control unit is operated while in the DMR mode (aside from certain button, including the DISPLAY).

Using AirPlay on iPod touch, iPhone, iPad and iTunes

This unit supports AirPlay audio streaming from iPod touch (2nd, 3rd and 4th generations), iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad, iPad 2 with iOS 4.2 or later, and iTunes 10.1 (Mac and PC) or later.

To use AirPlay, select your unit on your iPod touch, iPhone, iPad or in iTunes and start playback.

Note

• Display of the currently playing file information on the unit's main display, including artist, song/album name and album artwork.

Note

- It may not be displayed other than song name.

Tip

• A network environment is required to use AirPlay.
• The unit's name that shows up in the AirPlay UI on iPod touch, iPhone, iPad and iTunes can be changed by Friendly Name from Network Setting.
• AirPlay provided on this unit has been developed and tested based on the software versions for the iPod touch, iPhone, iPad and the software versions for iTunes that are indicated on the Pioneer website. AirPlay may not be compatible with iPod touch, iPhone, iPad or iTunes software versions other than those indicated on the Pioneer website.

About the DHCP server function

To play back audio files stored on components on the network, you must turn on the DHCP server function of your router.

In case your router does not have the built-in DHCP server function, it is necessary to set up the network manually. Otherwise, you cannot play back audio files stored on components on the network or listen to Internet radio stations. See Network setting on page 19 for more on this.
