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 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).

Loading the batteries

The batteries included with the unit are to check initial operations; they may not last over a long period. We recommend using alkaline batteries that have a longer life.

CAUTION

Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions:

• Never use new and old batteries together.

• Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries properly according to the marks in the battery case.

Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages. Do not use different batteries together.

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

• 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.

Installing the receiver

• When installing this unit, make sure to put it on a level and stable surface.

Dont install it on the following places:

-on a color TV (the screen may distort)
- near a cassette deck (or close to a device that
gives off a magnetic field). This may interfere with the sound.
-in direct sunlight
-in damp or wet areas
-in extremely hot or cold areas
- in places where there is vibration or other
movement
- in places that are very dusty
- in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as a kitchen)

WARNING:

Do not climb or sit on this unit. Be especially careful when children are around. The unit may be damaged, or may fall over causing injury.

Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation, misuse or modification of the product, or natural disasters.

VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 20cm at top, 10cm at rear, and 10cm at each side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet or a bed.

D3-4-2-1-7b*A1_EN

Placing the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.

To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

5.1 channel surround system

• In addition, surround back speakers can also be connected.
  Connect the surround back speakers
  The subwoofer and surround speakers are not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor, as the interaction of magnetic materials can cause distortion of the colors on your TV screen. Devices easily affected by magnetism (magnetic media cards, wrist-watches, video tapes, etc.) should not be placed near the subwoofer and surround speakers.
  The front speakers and center speaker furnished in this system are designed for use close to a CRT-based TV or color monitor. However, if color distortion is caused due to the installation, try turning off the power to the CRT-based TV or color monitor for 15 to 30 minutes, then turning on the power again. The self-degaussing function built into the CRT-based TV or color monitor should help ameliorate the effect of the speakers on the image. If color distortion continues to be a problem, separate the speakers farther away from the screen. If magnets or devices emitting magnetic fields are installed nearby, the interactive effect with the speaker system may cause color distortion in a CRT-based TV or color monitor.
• Do not attach center speaker and subwoofer to the wall or ceiling, as they may cause injury in the event of a fall.

CAUTION

• Install the center speaker below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

1 Connecting the speakers

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/-) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

Bare wire connections

1 Push open the tabs and insert exposed wire.
2 Release the tabs.

CAUTION

• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.
  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.
• Do not connect the supplied subwoofer to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in malfunction or fire.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

Connecting a TV and playback component

If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped component (Blu-ray Disc player, etc.), you can connect it to this receiver using a commercially available HDMI cable.

The following connection/setting is required to listen to the sound of the TV over this receiver.
If the TV does not support the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, connect the receiver and TV with audio cables (as shown).
If the TV supports the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver via the
HDMI terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, set ARC at HDMI Setup to ON.
The ARC function may not operate even with the above connections. If this is the case, connect the receiver and the TV with an audio cable.

About video outputs connection

This receiver is not loaded with a video converter. When you use HDMI cables for connecting to the input device, the same cables should be used for connecting to the TV.

The signals input from the analog (composite) video input of this unit will not be output from the HDMI OUT.

Connecting antennas

Connect FM wire antenna and the AM loop antenna as shown below.

Plugging the receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your components to this receiver, including the speakers.
1 Plug the supplied power cord into the AC IN socket on the back of the receiver.
2 Plug the other end into a power outlet.

CAUTION

• Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cables. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service company for a replacement.
• Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied with this unit.
  Do not use the supplied power cord for any purpose other than that described below.
  The receiver should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular use, e.g., when on vacation.
