1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following check should be performed for the
continued protection of the customer and service
technician.
LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK
Measure leakage current to a known earth ground
(water pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage
current tester such as Simpson Model 229-2 or
equivalent between the earth ground and all exposed
metal parts of the appliance (input/output terminals,
screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug
the AC line cord of the appliance directly into a 120V
AC 60 Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch on. Any
current measured must not exceed 0.5 mA.
ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS
OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL
SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE
RETURNING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CUSTOMER.
2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
Many electrical and mechanical parts in the appliance
have special safety related characteristics. These are
often not evident from visual inspection nor the protection
afforded by them necessarily can be obtained by using
replacement components rated for voltage, wattage, etc.
Replacement parts which have these special safety
characteristics are identified in this Service Manual.
Electrical components having such features are
identified by marking with a > on the schematics and on
the parts list in this Ser
vice Manua
l.
The use of a substitute replacement component which
does not have the same safety characteristics as the
PIONEER recommended replacement one, shown in the
parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire,
or other hazards.
Product Safety is continuously under review and new
instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest
information, always consult the current PIONEER Service
Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies of,
PIONEER Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal
charge from PIONEER.

NOTICE
(FOR CANADIAN MODEL ONLY)
Fuse symbols (fast operating fuse) and/or (slow operating fuse) on PCB indicate that replacement parts must
be of identical designation.
REMARQUE
(POUR MODÈLE CANADIEN SEULEMENT)
Les symboles de fusible (fusible de type rapide) et/ou (fusible de type lent) sur CCI indiquent que les pièces
de remplacement doivent avoir la même désignation.

• For environmental protection, lead-free solder is used on the printed circuit boards mounted in this unit.
Be sure to use lead-free solder and a soldering iron that can meet specifications for use with lead-free solders for repairs
accompanied by reworking of soldering.
• Compared with conventional eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher melting points, by approximately 40 ºC.
Therefore, for lead-free soldering, the tip temperature of a soldering iron must be set to around 373 ºC in general, although
the temperature depends on the heat capacity of the PC board on which reworking is required and the weight of the tip of
the soldering iron.
Do NOT use a soldering iron whose tip temperature cannot be controlled.
Compared with eutectic solders, lead-free solders have higher bond strengths but slower wetting times and higher melting
temperatures (hard to melt/easy to harden).
The following lead-free solders are available as service parts:
• Parts numbers of lead-free solder:
GYP1006 1.0 in dia.
GYP1007 0.6 in dia.
GYP1008 0.3 in dia.

To keep the product quality after servicing, confirm recommended check points shown below.
See the table below for the items to be checked regarding audio.
No. Procedures Check points
1
Check the symptom pointed out by a customer The pointed content should not reoccur
Sound and operation should not be defective
2
Check each input and main VOL (check the
operation of selector)
The sound is output by selecting an analog-connected input
with a selector and the sound volume should change by
rotating main VOL knob
3
Check the tone control, balance, and function The sound quality or right and left balances should change
by rotating each V OL knob
4
Check LOUDNESS and DIRECT functions The sound quality should change by setting LOUDNESS
function to ON. LOUDNESS function should be disabled by
setting DIRECT function to ON.
5
Check POWER AMP DIRECT terminal (only A-30)
(connected from pre-out terminal of AV AMP to
POWER AMP DIRECT terminal)
The sound volume should change by adjusting the sound
volume of connected AV AMP. The sound volum e shoul d not
be changed by the main VOL on the main unit.
6 Check SPEAKER A/B and headphone terminal There should not be defect in sound such as noise
7
Check the external package Check scratch or taint is not generated after accept ing the
repair

1. PROTECTION operation
Purpose of PROTECTION operation
Protection of operation due to failure of product
Protection of operation due to wrong use by a user
e.g.) Rare short of speaker connection is generated, or product is installed by
blocking the heat release hole
1.1 DC DETECT
After DC DETECT is detected, MUTE ON & PROTECTION RELAY OFF are carried out.
If DC DETECT is detected for 3 seconds or more continuously, it is evaluated as "1.1.1 AMP failure" shown below.
If DC DETECT is detected for less than 3 seconds, it is evaluated as 1.1.2 SIGNAL CLIP" shown below.
1.1.1 AMP failure
If DC DETECT is detected for 3 seconds or more continuously, it is evaluated as "AMP failure" and
the power is turned OFF.
If the power supply is automatically turned OFF after AMP failure is detected, all key operations are prohibited
(power ON is prohibited).
For turn ON the power supply again, refer to "3. How to reset the prohibition of power ON" shown below.
1.1.2 SIGNAL CLIP
If DC DETECT is detected for less than 3 seconds, it is evaluated as "SIGNAL CLIP".
If the detection of DC DETECT is reset within 3 seconds, MUTE OFF & PROTECTION RELAY ON
are carried out.
NOTE) If the detection of DC DETECT is reset within 3 seconds and DC detection functions immediately,
PROTECTION RELAY OFF/ON is repeated, however, there is no problem.
1.2 OVER LOAD
MUTE ON & PROTECTION RELAY OFF are carried out immediately after the detection and the power is
turned OFF.
After OVER LOAD is detected, the key operation is not prohibited (the power supply can be turned ON).
NOTE) If a short of speaker cable may be generated, the connection is made again and the power supply
cannot be turned ON by a user, so a complaint is generated.
If AMP is broken actually, DC detection operates, so there is no problem.
1.3 Temperature PROTECTION
MUTE ON & PROTECTION RELAY OFF are carried out immediately after the detection and the power is
turned OFF.
After temperature PROTECTION is detected, the key operation is not prohibited (the power supply
can be turned ON).
NOTE) After the detection, if the temperature is still high even by turning ON the power supply,
the temperature PROTECTION is detected again and the power supply is turned OFF.
1.4 Power PROTECTION
MUTE ON & PROTECTION RELAY OFF are carried out immediately after the detection and the power is
turned OFF.
If the power supply is automatically turned OFF after the power PROTECTION is detected, all key operations are
prohibited (power ON is prohibited).
For turn ON the power supply again, refer to "3. How to reset the prohibition of power ON" shown below.
2. Keeping the prohibition of power ON after 1.1.1 AMP failure is detected and 1.4 power
PROTECTION is detected
If the power supply is automatically turned OFF after AMP failure is detected and power PROTECTION is detected,
all key operations are prohibited (power ON is prohibited).
The power ON prohibition status is kept even if the backup is carried out and the power cord is disconnected and
inserted.
For turn ON the power supply again, refer to "3. How to reset the prohibition of power ON" shown below.

3. How to reset the prohibition of power ON
Press Front Key [ DIRECT ] + [ SPEAKER B ] at the same time for 2 seconds or more continuously.
The key prohibition mode after 1.1.1 AMP failure is detected and 1.4. power PROTECTION is detected is released and
the power supply is turned ON.
4. STANDBY LED display after PROTECTION is detected
Each PROTECTION operations above are identified by blinking timing of STANDBY LED.
The blinking of LED is continued until the power supply is turned ON again.
For the blinking specification of LED, refer to "Protect LED display specifications" shown below.
