Plugging in the receiver
Only plug in after you have connected all your components to this receiver, including the speakers.
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.
••The receiver should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular use, e.g., when on vacation.
1Plug the supplied power cord into the AC IN socket on the back of the receiver.
