• 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.

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.

2

3

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.

4

En

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.

1

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 the system components

1 Use the supplied system cable to connect the TO

AMPLIFIER jack on the CD Tuner Deck to the XC­IS22CD jack on the power amplifier (see right).

2 Use the supplied RCA pin-plug stereo cable to

connect the AUDIO OUT jacks on the CD Tuner
Deck to the L and R jacks on the power amplifier (see
right).

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.

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.

2 Connect one set of stereo audio cables between the

LINE 1 OUT jacks of this unit to the REC jacks of the
CT-IS21.

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.

Tuning in stations

The tuner can receive both FM and AM broadcasts, and lets you
memorize your favorite stations so you don’t have to manually
tune in every time you want to listen. (See page 18)

1 Press TUNER to switch to tuner mode and select the

AM or FM band.

If you’re using the remote, press repeatedly to switch between

FM and AM.

If you’re using the front panel, press repeatedly to switch
between FM, AM and STATION (this last option is covered on
page 18).

2 Tune to a frequency.

There are three tuning modes—manual, auto, and high-speed:

Manual tuning: Press 1 or ¡ (–·1/4 and

¢/¡·+ on the front panel) repeatedly to change the

displayed frequency.

Auto tuning: Press and hold 1 or ¡ (–·1/4

and ¢/¡·+ on the front panel) until the frequency
display starts to move, then release. The tuner will stop on the
next station it finds. Repeat to search for other stations.

High-speed tuning: Press and hold 1 or ¡ (–·1/

4 and ¢/¡·+ on the front panel) until the frequency

display starts to move rapidly. Keep the button held down until
you reach the frequency you want. If necessary, fine tune the
frequency using the manual tuning method.

When you’re tuned into a station, the TUNED indicator lights
in the display.

If the station is FM stereo, the STEREO indicator lights.

Improving poor FM reception

If you’re listening to an FM station in stereo but the reception is
weak, you can improve the sound quality by switching to mono:

1 Press MONO on the remote.

The MONO indicator lights when the tuner is in mono
reception mode.

Press again to switch back to auto-stereo mode (the STEREO
indicator lights when receiving a stereo broadcast).

Note

To reduce noise while recording an AM broadcast, see Improv­ing AM tape recordings on page 21.

Changing the frequency step

If you find that you can’t tune into stations successfully, the
frequency step may not be suitable for your country/region.
Here’s how to switch the setting:

1 Switch the power into standby.

2 Press and hold TREBLE (front panel only) for about

three seconds.

3 Use the JOG dial (front panel) or 4 and ¢

(remote) to select the frequency step.

Choose between:

• AM 9kHz/FM 50kHz

• AM 10kHz/FM 100kHz

4 Press SET to confirm.

The system returns to standby.

Playing cassette tapes

This unit has a tape deck that can be used for both recording
and playback. Other features include auto-reverse and Dolby B
Noise Reduction.

• Auto-reverse lets you play or record a tape without physically
taking it out and turning it over.

• Dolby B NR reduces hiss on tapes recorded using Dolby B NR
(which includes almost all commercially recorded tapes).

1 Press the TAPE button then press TAPE OPEN/CLOSE

0 (front panel) or 0 (remote) and load a recorded
cassette.

Be sure to insert the cassette in the direction shown.

2 Press TAPE OPEN/CLOSE 0 again to close the tray.

3 Press DOLBY NR ON/OFF (front panel only) to

switch Dolby B NR on or off as required.

4 Press REVERSE MODE (front panel only) to select the

reverse mode.

Press repeatedly to choose between:

• “ (single side playback)

• [ (auto-reverse playback: stops after finishing playback in

the ‘reverse’ (2) direction)

• ” (continuous playback (up to 16 complete plays))

5 Press 23 (remote) or 6 (front panel) to start

playback.

The side of the tape you’ll hear is whichever is face up when you
load it. This is the ‘forward’ (3) direction, while the other side
is ‘reverse’ (2). The forward indicator is shown in the display.

6 To play the other side of the tape, press 23 (6).

Each time you press 23 (6) during playback, the other
side of the tape starts playing. Pressing 23 (6) when the
tape is stopped starts playback on the side it was playing
previously.
The current tape direction is indicated in the display.

7 To skip back or forward a track on the tape, press

–·4 or ¢·+.

On the front panel, press –·1/4 or ¢/¡·+ (the
tape should be playing when you do this).

¢·+ searches for the next blank space between tracks on the
side currently playing (in other words, to the start of the next
track), then resumes playback.

–·4 searches for the previous blank space between tracks on
the side currently playing (in other words, to the start of the
current track), then resumes playback.

Note

Track search is unlikely to work reliably in the following cases:

• If the space between tracks is less than about 4 seconds.

• If the recording is particularly noisy so the spaces are not

recognized.

• If the recording contains frequent silences, such as a
language study tape.

• If the recording contains sections of very quiet material,
such as some classical music recordings.

8 To stop playback, press 7.

9 To fast wind the tape, press 1 or ¡.

On the front panel, press –·1/4 or ¢/¡·+ (the
tape should be stopped when you do this).

1 rewinds the tape, regardless of the tape direction at the
time. ¡ always forward-winds the tape.

Resetting the tape counter

The tape counter indicates the current location of the tape. The
counter increases when the tape is travelling forwards and
decreases when it’s travelling in reverse (playing or fast
winding). The tape counter returns to zero automatically when
you eject a tape. To reset it manually:

• Press 7 while the tape is stopped.

The counter returns to 0000.

Using RDS (UK model only)

Radio Data System, or RDS as it’s usually known, is a system
used by FM radio stations to provide listeners with various
information—the name of the station and what kind of show
they’re broadcasting, for example. RDS allows you to search
through stations automatically using this information. It shows
up as text on the display, and you can switch between the type of
information shown. Although you don’t get RDS information
from all FM radio stations, you do with most.

This unit lets you display three different kinds of RDS informa­tion: Radio Text, Program Service Name, and Program Type.

Radio Text (RT) is a message sent by the radio station. It can be
anything the broadcaster chooses—a talk radio station might
give out its telephone number as RT, for example.

Program Service Name (PS) is the name of the radio station.
Program Type (PTY) indicates the kind of program currently

being broadcast.

Making tape recordings

Making tape recordings

You can make tape recordings from the radio, CDs, or from an
external component connected to the auxiliary inputs. If you're
recording from CD it’s more convenient to use the ASES
mode—see Automatically recording CDs on this page.

Once recording has started, you can’t switch to another
component until recording has stopped. So, for example, you
can’t switch over to the tuner while you’re recording a CD.

Unlike some tape decks, there’s no need to set recording levels;
the deck sets the level automatically. When recording, the
volume, and other sound settings have no effect on the
recording. This means that you can record something with the
volume turned right down, if you want.

Before recording, check that the cassette erase-protect tabs have
not been broken, and that the tape is Type I (normal position).
You can’t record on Type II (high/CrO2) or IV (metal) tapes
using this deck.

If you’re recording from the start of a tape, it’s a good idea to
wind the tape on a little so that you don’t accidently start
recording over the leader tape. You can either do this by hand,
or load the tape into the deck and play the tape for 5–6 seconds.

1 Press TAPE then load a cassette into the tape deck.

In order to follow these instructions more easily, load the
cassette with side A facing up.

2 Check the recording direction.

If you start recording in the 3 direction, both sides of the tape
can be recorded (unless the erase protect tab for side B is
missing). If you switch sides and start recording in the 2
direction, then recording will start from side B and stop when
the end of the tape is reached.

If you need to change the direction, press 23 (6 on the
front panel) twice, then 7.

3 Turn Dolby NR on or off as required.

Using Dolby NR improves the sound quality of tape recordings
that are going to be played on Dolby NR equipped players. If the
tape is not going to be played on a Dolby NR equipped player (or
if you’re not sure), you should leave Dolby NR off.

4 Set the reverse mode (p. 15).

• “ (record one side only)

• [ or ” (record both sides if recording starts in the 3
(forward) direction, or one side if recording starts in the 2
(reverse) direction)

5 Select the function you plan to record.

For example, press TUNER to record from the radio. If you’ve
selected a CD, make sure that it’s stopped. You cannot record
while the TA P E function is selected.

6 Prepare the source for recording.

For example, tune in the radio station.

7 Press REC/STOP (front panel only).

The deck starts recording.

8 Start the source playing (if necessary).

9 When you’re ready to stop recording, press REC/

STOP again.

Automatically recording CDs (ASES)

Auto Synchro Editing System (ASES for short) makes recording
one or more CDs automatic. It also makes sure that a CD track
isn’t spread over two sides of a tape.

If the tape runs out midway through a CD track, the same track
is automatically recorded from the beginning again on the
other side. Note that repeat playback is canceled when you use
ASES recording.

1 Prepare the tape deck for recording.

Load a blank cassette and wind on past the leader. Switch Dolby
NR on or off as required and set the reverse mode. Recording
starts in the 3 (forward) direction, so take care over which way
you load the tape.

2 Load the CD you want to record.

3 Press the CD function button, then press 7.

The CD should now be selected, but not playing.
If you want to record the tracks in a different order, use the

program play feature—see page 17 for how to do this.

4 If you want to record only one track, select 1-track

ASES using the –·4 and ¢·+ buttons.

5 Press ASES to start recording.

Recording finishes automatically when the end of the disc is
reached, or the tape ends (whichever comes first).

Taking care of your system

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt,
wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution made by diluting
one part detergent to 5 or 6 parts water, wring well, then wipe off
the dirt. Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use
volatile liquids such as benzene or thinner which may damage
the surfaces.

Disc lens cleaner

The disc pickup lens should not become dirty in normal use, but
if for some reason it should malfunction due to dirt or dust,
consult your nearest PIONEER authorized service center.
Although lens cleaners for CD players are commercially
available, we do not recommend using them since some may
damage the lens.

Taking care of your discs

When holding discs, 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
performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the
disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can
still result in a disc becoming unusable.

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).

Don’t glue paper or put stickers on discs, or write on them
using a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-tipped writing
instrument.

Discs to avoid

Discs spin at high speed inside the player during playback. If
you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or
otherwise damaged, don’t risk using it—you could end up
damaging the unit.

This system is designed for use with conventional, fully
circular CDs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended.
PIONEER disclaims all liability arising in connection with the
use of shaped discs.

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 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.

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).

Tapes you should avoid

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. Avoid using cassette tapes
longer than 90 minutes.

Protecting your recordings

You can protect an important recording against accidental
erasure by breaking the erase-protect tab(s) with a small
screwdriver.

Cleaning the tape heads

To maintain good performance and sound quality, we
recommend that you clean the deck’s tape heads periodically
(once every 10 hours of use).

Use a commercially available wet-type head cleaning cassette,
following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Caution!

• Make sure that the head cleaning cassette you buy is
compatible with auto-reverse decks. Check with a Pioneer
authorized service center for details.

• Do not use dry-type head cleaning cassettes.

• After cleaning, do not play a cassette for 2–3 minutes to

allow the cleaning liquid to dry.

Demagnetizing the tape
heads

Through continued use, the playback/record tape head becomes
magnetized, resulting in loss of performance and sound quality.

Use a commercially available head demagnetizer periodically,
following the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

Caution!

• When using a head demagnetizer, you should turn the
volume down to minimum and unplug any headphones
that are connected.

Erase-protect tab (For side A)

Erase-protect tab (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.
