1 Before You Start
Elegant design
The X–LP77 looks as good it sounds. With a front panel almost completely free
from the usual array of buttons and flashing lights, the X–LP77 has been
designed to blend in elegantly with its surroundings rather than draw attention
Features
to itself. And since the CD receiver and optional tape deck and MD recorder are
separate components, you can choose to place them side-by-side for a sleek,
horizontal look, or on top of each other for a more conventional vertical
arrangement. The compact, slim-line speakers also can be used vertically or
horizontally to complement the layout of the system.
Display with detachable remote control
All the components in the X–LP77 share a single large fluorescent display and
control panel. This control panel can easily be detached from the display,
turning it into the system’s infrared remote controller.
Direct play function
From standby mode to playing a CD or listening to a tape or the radio in a
single button press: the direct play function intelligently switches on the system,
changes to the desired function and starts playback.
Energy Saving Design
The X–LP77 has been designed to minimize power consumption when in
standby mode (plugged in to the power supply, but with the unit switched off).
Standby power consumption is just 1W, even when both the optional tape deck
and MD recorder are connected.

1 Before You Start
Handling discs
When holding CDs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its
edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can
affect playback and/or recording performance. Take care also
not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile
as the recording side, scratches can still result in a disc
becoming unusable.
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean
using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to
the outside edge as shown in the diagram below. If necessary,
use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD
cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine,
thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed
for cleaning vinyl records.
Wipe lightly from the
center of the disc
using straight strokes
Don’t wipe the disc
surface using circular
strokes
Storing discs
Although CDs are more durable than vinyl records, you should
still take care to handle and store discs correctly. 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).
For more detailed care information see the instructions that
come with discs.
Discs to avoid
CDs spin at high speed inside the player during playback and
recording. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped,
or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your CD player—
you could end up damaging the unit.
This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular
CDs only. Use of shaped CDs is not recommended for this
product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection
with the use of shaped CDs.
Using cassette tapes
The tape of a cassette is quite easily damaged and loose tape can
jam in the tape deck mechanism. If the tape has become
unwound, use a pen or pencil
to wind it back on to the spool.
When not using cassettes,
always store in the case. Store
cassettes away from magnetic
fields, excessive heat, humidity,
dust or oil.
Before recording on a tape,
wind the tape on past the leader tape (about the first 3 or 4
seconds of each side).
Avoid using tapes longer than 90 minutes.
Since tapes longer than 90 minutes are so thin, they are more
susceptible to jamming in the tape deck mechanism and other
trouble such as irregular winding.
Erase protection
You can protect an important recording against accidental
erasure by breaking the erase-protect tab(s) with a small
screwdriver.
For side A
For side B
If you want to re-record on an erase-protected cassette, cover the
space left by the broken tab with self-adhesive tape.

!
Be sure to leave enough space for
proper ventilation above, either
side and at the rear of the unit.
Do...
✔ Use in a well-ventilated room.
✔ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
✔ Leave at least 10cm either side of the unit, 15cm at the back, and 25cm
overhead for proper ventilation.
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 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.
✗ Place the display unit on or very near a television, monitor or analog clock.
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.
CAUTION! Handling power cords
Always handle the power cord by the plug - don’t pull out the plug
from the wall socket by the wire. Avoid touching the plug or cord with
wet hands. Do not place this unit, furniture, etc. on top of the power
cord, and route it in such a way that it is unlikely to be stepped on or
tripped over. Never tie the power cord together with other cords, or
knot it in any way.
A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electric shock.
Check the power cord occasionally—if it’s damaged ask a Pioneer
authorized service centre or your dealer for a replacement.

IMPORTANT: Never connect or
disconnect the system ribbon cables
while the power plug is connected to
the wall outlet. Doing so may damage
the unit.
Important: Before making or changing any rear
panel connections, make sure that all the components are switched off and unplugged from the power
supply.
The CD receiver is the central component of the
system: everything else connects to it. The diagram
left shows the tape deck connected to the CD receiver,
without the optional MD recorder or CD recorder. (If
you bought either/both of these, see their respective
instruction manuals for details of connecting them
to the rest of the system.)
1 Connect the display cable between the CD
receiver and display unit, taking care to connect
the L-shaped connector to the display unit.
2 If you also have the tape deck:
Connect it up to the CD receiver using the ribbon
cable attached to the rear of the tape deck. (See
Ribbon cables, left, for important information
on connecting/disconnecting these.)
It is possible to wall-mount the display unit using
two screws (not supplied) securely fastened to a wall.
Line the screws up with the holes on the rear side of
the unit and hang the unit on the wall.
To insert, hold the connector and push
firmly into the socket until you hear it
click home.

Speaker cable
Connecting the speakers
The S–L8/S–L9/S–L9-A speaker system consists of two compact satellite speakers that
deliver the middle and treble frequencies, and a subwoofer that provides powerful bass.
When connecting or disconnecting speakers, make sure that the power is switched off
and the unit unplugged from the wall outlet.
To get the best sound from the system, it’s important that the red (+) and black (–)
speaker terminals on the CD receiver are connected to the corresponding terminals on
each speaker. To help you match up the terminals correctly, the supplied speaker cable
is colour coded: connect the white half of the cable to the black (–) terminals, and the
grey striped half to the red (+) terminals.
Speaker terminal connectors
Note: Make sure that the bare speaker wires cannot touch each other, or come
into contact with other metal parts once the unit is switched on.
Twist the exposed wire
strands together.
Pull open the tab and
insert the twisted wire fully
into the terminal.
Snap the tab shut again
to secure the speaker
cable.

Screw holes for
wall mounting
Non-slip pads
Stand attached for
horizontal placement
For S-L8 speakers: for correct
balance, make sure that the
speaker stands are fixed to the
upper two screw holes when placing horizontally.
Placing the satellite speakers
The speakers come with stands that can be used if you plan to put the speakers on a
shelf or table. It’s possible to attach the stands so that the speakers stand upright (as
shown in the illustration on the facing page, for example), or on their side—as
shown in the diagram left. Attach a stand to each speaker using the supplied screws
(two per stand). Next, fix two of the supplied non-slip pads to the underside of each
speaker (it makes no difference which way up the speakers are when they are placed
horizontally).
As an alternative to placing your speakers on a shelf or table, you may want to wallmount them. The rear panel of each speaker has two screw holes for this purpose—
use the single top one for vertical mounting, or both for horizontal mounting. Hang
the speakers from screws in the wall as you would a picture. Screws and other
mounting fixtures are not supplied. If you decide to wall-mount the speakers, make
sure that the wall is capable of supporting the weight of the speakers.
Choosing a listening position
Ideally, the satellite speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to
them. Putting the speakers on the floor, or mounting them very high on a wall is not
recommended. For the best stereo effect, place the speakers 2–3 meters apart, and
choose as your listening position a point within the shaded triangle below.
2–3 meters
Note
Screws for wall mounting are
not supplied. Use screws
suitable for the type of material and strength of the wall
or surface.
Mount the speakers only on
a vertical wall or surface.
Pioneer bears no responsibility for accidents resulting
from faulty assembly or installation, insufficient
mounting strength of walls
or other building fixtures,
misuse, or natural disasters.

area
Placing the subwoofer
Placement of the subwoofer is not as critical as the satellite speakers because bass
sounds are much less directional than middle and treble sounds. However, bear the
following points in mind when choosing a suitable location:
❖ The subwoofer’s speakers are at the rear of the unit. Place the subwoofer at
least 5cm away from a wall for best results.
❖ As with other audio components, don’t place the subwoofer near heaters,
radiators or other appliances that generate heat.
❖ Although you have some freedom in placement, experiment with different
subwoofer locations—some will sound better than others from your usual
listening position.
Note: Before placing the subwoofer, attach the four supplied non-slip pads to the
underside of the unit. Avoid touching the actual speaker cones of the subwoofer unit
when installing or moving it.

you better sound quality—see the Connecting external antennas box on the
following page for more on how to do this.
Before making or changing antenna connections, make sure that the power is
switched off and the unit disconnected from the AC wall outlet.
1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.
2 Pull open both tabs and insert one wire fully into each terminal.
3 Snap the tabs shut to secure the AM antenna wires.
Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction giving the best
reception. If necessary, stabilize with a pen or pencil through the hole near the base.
Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances (including
the display unit of this system), and do not let it come into contact with metal objects.
It’s also possible to fix the AM antenna to a wall using two small screws or pins
through the two holes at the top of the loop. Before fixing, make sure that the
reception is satisfactory.
