To listen to audio from an external component, connect with a stereo mini-plug cable. Once connected, the input automatically changes to FRONT AUDIO IN (page 9).

Making cable connections

Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit. This may cause a humming noise from the speakers.

Important

• Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

Connecting audio components

The number and kind of connections depends on the kind of component you're connecting. Follow the steps below to connect a tape deck, turntable or other audio component.

1 Connect the analog outputs of your tape deck (or other recorder) to the LINE IN jacks on this receiver. Then connect the audio inputs on the tape deck to the LINE OUT jacks on this receiver.

This will allow you to make recordings from the components connected to this receiver. Use stereo RCA pin-plug cables as shown.

2 Turntables only: Connect the audio outputs of your turntable to the PHONO IN jacks on this receiver.

If your turntable has a grounding wire, secure it to the SIGNAL GND terminal on this receiver.
- If your turntable has line-level outputs (i.e., it has a built-in phono pre-amp), connect it to the LINE IN jacks instead.
- Use only turntables equipped with MM type cartridges.

3 Connect the front panel F.AUDIO IN mini-plug jack to your auxiliary playback component.

These include components like a digital audio player or the analog audio output of a PC. Connect using a stereo mini-plug cable.

4 Connect your iPod, USB mass storage device, and/or network component.

You can listen to music stored on such components from Home Media Gallery (page 20).

Important

• Use only the supplied LAN cable to connect this receiver's LAN terminal to a network.

Note

The receiver automatically switches the input to FRONT AUDIO IN when you connect a mini-jack cable to the front panel (except when wake-up timer is set for power ON).

Connecting the AM and FM antennas

Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to listen to both AM and FM radio broadcasts. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound quality—see Connecting external antennas right for more on how to do this.

1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.

2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.
3 Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.

To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then clip the loop onto the stand (fig. b).

• If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. c) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.

4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction giving the best reception.

Don't let it come into contact with metal objects and avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances.

5 Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as the AM loop antenna.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don't drape loosely or leave coiled up.

Connecting external antennas

External AM antenna

Use 5 to 6 meters of vinyl-insulated wire and set up either indoors or outdoors. Leave the AM loop antenna connected.

External FM antenna

Use a PAL connector to hook up an external FM antenna.

Connecting the speakers

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+ / - ) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 4 to 8

• Connect the speakers to the SPEAKERS terminals as shown above.

Bare wire connections

Make sure that the speaker cable you're going to use is properly prepared with about 10mm of insulator stripped from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted together (fig. A).

To connect a terminal, unscrew the terminal a few turns until there is enough space to insert the exposed wire (fig. B). Once the wire is in position, tighten the terminal until the wire is firmly clamped (fig. C).

fig.A

fig. B

fig. C

Important

• Please refer to the manual that came with your speakers for details on how to connect the other end of the speaker cables to your speakers.

Caution

• These speaker terminals can be under HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. When you connect or disconnect the speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock, do not touch uninsulated parts before disconnecting the power cord.
• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

Plugging in

Make sure to complete all connections before connecting to an AC IN inlet.

• Connect the AC power cord to the AC IN inlet on the rear panel of the receiver, then plug into a power outlet.

Note

In addition, there are three other program types, Alarm Alarm!, Alarm Test, and None Alarm Alarm! and Alarm Test are used for emergency announcements. You can't search for these, but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal. None appears when a program type cannot be found.
2 If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.
- If the No Radio Text Data message appears in the RT display, it may mean that RT data is not being transmitted from the radio station. In the same way, if the No Data message appears in the PS or PTY display, it may mean that no PS or PTY data are being transmitted from the radio station. - When no broadcast can be received, selecting the RDS display will cause the No Data message to appear in all display areas, and thereafter the display will automatically return to the frequency display.
3 RDS is only possible in the FM band.

About Internet radio

Internet radio is an audio broadcasting service transmitted via the Internet. There are a large number of Internet radio stations broadcasting a variety of services from every corner of the world. Some are hosted, managed, and broadcast by private individuals while others are by the corresponding traditional terrestrial radio stations or radio networks. Whereas terrestrial, or OTA (over-the-air), radio stations are geographically restricted on the range of radio waves broadcast from a transmitter through the air, Internet radio stations are accessible from anywhere in the world, as long as there is a connection to the Internet, as services are not transmitted through the air but are delivered over the World Wide Web. On this receiver you can select Internet radio stations by genre as well as by region.

Additional information

Hints on installation

We want you to enjoy using this product for years to come, so please use the following guidelines when choosing a suitable location:

Do...

• Use in a well-ventilated room.
• Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

Don't...

• Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
• Place on a window sill or a place where the receiver will be exposed to direct sunlight.
• Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
• Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
  Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
• Use in a kitchen or other room where the receiver may be exposed to smoke or steam.
• Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the unit.
• Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the unit's feet.

Taking care of your receiver and discs

General

Hold discs by the edge or by the center hole and edge.

When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight).

Don't glue paper or put stickers on to discs. Do not use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing instrument to write on the disc.

Don't use self-adhesive disc labels on discs as these can cause the disc to warp slightly during playback causing distortion in the picture and/or sound.

Damaged and shaped discs

Do not use cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged discs as they may damage the receiver.

This receiver is designed to be used only with conventional, fully circular discs. Do not use shaped discs. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Cleaning discs

Fingerprints and dust on discs can affect playback performance. Clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown below.

If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records.

Cleaning the receiver's exterior

Unplug the unit before cleaning.

Use a dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth.

Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this receiver.

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth.

Cleaning the pickup lens

The receiver's lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer-authorized service center. We do not recommend using commercially available lens cleaners for CD players.

Condensation

Condensation may form inside the receiver if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won't damage the receiver, it may temporarily impair its performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on.

Moving the receiver

If you need to move the receiver, first switch the unit into standby (press STANDBY/ON on the remote control), then unplug the power cable. Never lift or move the unit during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Investigate the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

• If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.
