Checking what’s in the box

Thank you for buying this Pioneer product. Before starting to set up your new stereo system, please check that you received the following supplied accessories:

• These operating instructions

• Remote control unit

• Power cord

• System cable

• RCA pin-plug stereo cable

• 2 Speaker cords

• FM antenna

• AM loop antenna

• 2 AA/R6P dry cell batteries

Using this manual

This manual is for the XC-IS22CD Stereo CD Tuner Deck. It is split into three sections: setting up (chapters 1 and 2); using the system (chapters 3 to 9), and additional information (chapter

10). This last chapter contains care information for the unit, discs and tapes, a troubleshooting section, and specifications.

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 of the battery case.

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 at right.

• 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.

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.

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

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.

✗ Put objects on top of the speakers.

Before you start

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 playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Discs compatible with this system

Any disc with the following logo should play in this system.

Other formats, including CD-RW, DVD, CD-ROM, VIDEO CD, SACD and Photo CD will not play.

This unit can play CD-R discs recorded with audio. However, depending on the quality of the initial recording, and the condition of the disc, you may find that not all discs will play successfully. (For example, if the disc is scratched or dirty, or if the player’s pickup lens is dirty.) Some CD-R discs may need to be finalized* before playing successfully.

* Check the CD recorder’s instruction manual for how to

finalize a CD-R disc.

Important

Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all the components are switched off and unplugged from the power supply.

Speaker caution!

Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

These speakers are not magnetically shielded, and may cause color noise or distortion when placed near a television set. If this occurs, move the speakers farther away.

Connecting up

Connecting the speakers

Use the supplied red and black speaker cords to connect the speakers to the main unit. To get the best sound from the system, it’s important that you connect the two strands of speaker cord for each speaker to the correct speaker terminal. The terminals and cords are color-coded to help you match them up.

Important

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.

To connect a speaker cord to a terminal

This is shown in the diagrams below.

1 Pull off the protective covers on the ends of each

cord, then twist the exposed wire strands together.

2 Push the tab to open, then insert the twisted wire

fully into the terminal.

Connecting the radio antennas

Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to listen to both AM and FM radio broadcasts. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound quality—see Connecting external antennas on page 8 for more on how to do this.

Important

Before making or changing antenna connections, make sure that the power is switched off and the unit disconnected from the wall power outlet.

1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna

wires.

2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into

each terminal.

3 Release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.

4 Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.

To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig. A) then clip the loop onto the stand (fig.

B). Note

If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. C) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.

3 Release the tab to secure the speaker cord.

5 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in

the direction giving the best reception.

Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances and do not let it come into contact with metal objects.

6 Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as the

AM loop antenna.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.

The supplied FM antenna is a simple means of receiving FM stations; using a dedicated, outdoor FM antenna will usually give you better reception and sound quality. See Connecting external antennas on page 8 for connection details.

Connecting up

Note

The signal ground (H) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an antenna is connected. It is not an electrical safety ground.

Connecting external antennas

External AM antenna

Use 5–6 meters of vinyl-insulated wire and set up either indoors (A) or outdoors (B). Leave the AM loop antenna connected.

External FM antenna

Australian model : Use 75Ω coaxial cable to hook up an external FM antenna (C).

UK model : Use 75Ω coaxial cable with a PAL connector to hook up an external FM antenna (C).

Connecting auxiliary components

This system has both stereo analog inputs and outputs, as well as an optical digital output. Use these to connect external components, such as an MD, CD-R or DAT recorder.

The OPTICAL DIGITAL OUT is located under the terminal cover on the lower front panel. Use an optical digital cord to connect a digital recorder or AV amplifier using the optical out (fig. 1).

Use RCA pin-plug stereo cables to connect the LINE 1 IN and

LINE 1 OUT jacks on the rear panel to a cassette deck, VCR,

MD recorder, etc. (fig. 2) Use stereo mini-plug cables (not supplied) to connect the LINE

2 IN and LINE 2 OUT jacks on the lower front panel to an MD

player, etc.(fig. 3)

Connecting the power

After making sure that everything is connected properly, plug in the power cord to the AC INLET, and the other end to a power outlet.

Congratulations! You’re done setting up.

hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way 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 service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Connecting up

Connecting the optional stereo cassette deck (CT-IS21)

The optional cassette deck (model number CT-IS21) connects to this system using the system cable and two sets of RCA pin-plug stereo cables supplied with the CT-IS21.

1 Connect the system cable between the jack marked

FROM OPTION DECK on the rear of this unit to the matching jack on the rear of the CT-IS21.

Please see page 8 of the CT-IS21’s operating instructions for more details on connecting the system cable.

3 Connect the other set of stereo audio cables

between the LINE 1 IN jacks of this unit to the PLAY jacks of the CT-IS21.

Using this system with the CT-IS21

The instruction manual supplied with the CT-IS21 describes its use with the XC-IS21MD/XC-IS21T. Use with the XC-IS22CD is similar, though please note the following points:

• Although the layout of the front panel and remote controls of the XC-IS21MD/XC-IS21T are different from the XCIS22CD, the controls of the XC-IS22CD function in the same way as those on the XC-IS21MD/XC-IS21T.

• References in the manual to the ‘CD MD Tuner’ should be disregarded.

• All topics concerning recording to or from MD should be disregarded.
