CAUTION

The /l switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

D3-4-2-1-7a_A1_En

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. 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, 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 such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Loading the batteries

The batteries included with the unit are to check initial operations; they may not last over a long period. We recommend using alkaline batteries that have a longer life.

CAUTION

• Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions:

– Never use new and old batteries together. – Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries

properly according to the marks in the battery case.

– Batteries with the same shape may have different

voltages. Do not use different batteries together.

– When disposing of used the batteries, please comply

with governmental regulations or environmental public institution’s rules that apply in your country/ area.

– When inserting the batteries, make sure not to

damage the springs on the battery’s (–) terminals. This can cause batteries to leak or overheat.

WARNING

• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of batteries.

Operating range of remote control

The remote control may not work properly if:

• There are obstacles between the remote control and the unit’s remote sensor.

• Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the remote sensor.

• The unit is located near a device that is emitting infrared rays.

• Do not place a TV stand on top that is larger than the possible placement area.

1 Place the unit.

CAUTION

• There are subwoofers located on the bottom of the unit. Make sure that there is nothing between the unit and the surface it is being placed on it.

• Do not install the unit in an unstable place such as on an unsteady stand or tilted surface. The unit may fall or tip over, resulting in injury.

• The unit is not magnetically shielded and so should be used away from a cathode ray tube (CRT) TV or monitor. Also, do not place devices that are easily influenced by magnetism (magnetic cards, watches, video tapes, etc.) near the unit.

• Do not attach this unit to the wall or ceiling. It may fall off and cause injury.

• Place the unit so that it does not extend out over the TV rack, shelf etc.

Installing and connecting the unit 03

Optical digital audio cable (included)

Analog cable (commercially available)

Remove the protection cap at the end and then connect the cable while paying attention to the orientation of the connector.

If you will not use the cable for your TV connection, you can use it to connect another audio device.

If your TV does not have a digital terminal, connect it to the analog terminal.

Digital audio pin cable (commercially available)

BD/DVD

DAB/FM wire antenna (included)

75  coaxial cable

One-touch PAL connector

2 Wire the unit.

In order to make the wiring process as easy as possible, complete all wiring prior to placing the TV on top of the unit.

Connecting antenna

Connect the DAB/FM wire antenna into the DAB/FM antenna socket.

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

Using external antennas

To improve DAB/FM reception and sound quality

Use a PAL connector (not supplied) to connect an external DAB/FM antenna.
