Ventilation
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the
unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 30 cm at top,
15 cm at rear, and 15 cm at each side). If not enough space is
provided between the unit and walls or other equipment, heat
will build up inside, interfering with performance or causing
malfunctions.
Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
Please read through these operating instructions so you will
know how to operate your model properly. After you have
finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place
for future reference.
In some countries or regions, the shape of the power plug and
power outlet may sometimes differ from that shown in the
explanatory drawings. However, the method of connecting and
operating the unit is the same.

the power cord into the outlet. If the voltage is not properly
set or if you move to an area where the voltage require-
ments differ, adjust the selector switch as follows:
1. Disconnect the power cord.
2. Use a medium-size screwdriver.
3. Insert the screwdriver into the groove on the voltage
selector, and adjust so that the tip of the arrow points to
the voltage value of your area.
THE STANDBY/ON BUTTON IS SECONDARY

Ventilación
Cuando se instala esta unidad, asegúrese de dejar espacio
alrededor de la unidad para proporcionar ventilación y mejorar así
la radiación del calor (por lo menos 30 cm en la parte superior, 15
cm en la parte trasera y 15 cm de cada lado). Si no hay suficiente
espacio entre la unidad y las paredes u otro equipo, se acumulará
calor en el interior, interfiriendo con el rendimiento o causando
fallas de funcionamiento.

Before You Start
Putting the batteries in the
remote
1 Open the battery compartment
cover on the back of the remote
control unit.
2 Load the two AA/R6P batteries
into the battery compartment
following the indications (
ª, ·)
inside the compartment.
3 Close the cover.
Caution!
· Remove the batteries if the remote is
not going to be used for a month or
more.
· Remove dead batteries promptly--
they can leak and damage the unit.
Using the remote control
Keep in mind the following when using the remote control unit:
· Make sure that there are no obstacles in between the remote
and the remote sensor on the unit.
· Use within the operating range and angle, as shown in the
diagram. (A)
· 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 nearby
this unit.
· Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the
operating range of the remote.
Finding a suitable location
We want you to enjoy using your new stereo system for years to
come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing
a suitable location for the system components and speakers:
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 appli-
ances.
Place on a window sill or other place where any of the
components or speakers will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
Place directly on top of any appliance which 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 unit may be exposed
to smoke or steam.
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough
to support all four of the unit's feet, or the whole footprint of
each speaker.
Block the cooling fan on the rear of the unit. Don't cover the
unit with cloth, or use on thick carpet, etc.
Put objects on top of the speakers.
Avoiding condensation problems
Condensation may form inside the unit 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 unit, it may
temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should
leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour
before switching on and using.
Moving the system unit
If you need to move the system unit, first switch it off and unplug
from the wall outlet. Never lift or move the unit during play-
back--discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.
Discs compatible with this
system
Any disc that displays one of the following logos should play in
this system. Other formats, including DVD, Video CD, CD-R, CD-
RW,
CD-ROM, SACD and Photo CD will not play.
12cm or 8cm discs.
