Plugging in the receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your components to 

this receiver, including the speakers.

 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.

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.

• Make sure the blue

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space 

around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation 

(at least 20 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 20 cm at each

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, table-cloths, 

curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet 

or a bed.
