Operating Instructions
Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
Please read through these operating instructions so you will know
how to operate your model properly. After you have finished
reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future
reference.
In some countries or regions, the shape of the power plug and
power outlet may sometimes differ from that shown in the
explanatory drawings. However the method of connecting and
operating the unit is the same.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
This product complies with the Low Voltage Directive
(73/23/EEC), EMC Directives (89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC) and
CE Marking Directive (93/68/EEC).
THE POWER SWITCH IS SECONDARY CONNECTED AND
THEREFORE DOES NOT SEPARATE THE UNIT FROM MAINS
POWER IN THE STANDBY POSITION.
IMPORTANT
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within
an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure that may
be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
VENTILATION
÷ When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat
radiation (at least 60 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 30
cm at each side). If not enough space is provided
between the unit and walls or other equipment, heat
will build up inside, interfering with performance or
causing malfunctions.
÷ Do not place on a thick carpet, bed, sofa or fabric
having a thick pile. Do not cover with fabric or other
covering.
Anything that blocks ventilation will cause internal
temperature to rise, which may lead to breakdown or
fire hazard.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence
of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
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.
IMPORTANT
FOR USE IN THE UNITED
KINGDOM
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code :
If the plug provided is unsuitable for your socket
outlets, the plug must be cut off and a suitable plug
fitted.
Blue :Neutral
Brown :live
The cut-off plug should be disposed of and must not be
inserted into any 13 amp socket as this can result in electric
shock. The plug or adaptor or the distribution panel should
be provided with 5 amp fuse. As the colours of the wires in
the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
red.
Maintenance of External Surfaces
• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust
and dirt.
• When the surfaces are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth
dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six
times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe
again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or
cleaners.
• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or
other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will
corrode the surfaces.
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal of a
three pin plug.
NOTE
After replacing or changing a fuse, the fuse cover in the
plug must be replaced with a fuse cover which corresponds to the colour of the insert in the base of the plug
or the word that is embossed on the base of the plug,
and the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover.
If lost, replacement fuse covers can be obtained from
your dealer.
Only 5 A fuses approved by B.S.I. or A.S.T.A. to B.S.
1362 should be used.

Features
Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic
No need to worry about program formats! When playing Dolby Digital or Dolby Surround software in the (Dolby)
Surround mode, decoding switches automatically according to the input signal. All you have to do is sit back and
enjoy! (When connecting a DVD/LD player or LD player using the AC-3 RF output, a commercially available RF
demodulator (RFD-1) is required.)

Various Surround Effects (DSP)
The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) surround mode allows you to transform your living room into six different
sonic environments when listening to music or watching movies.
Midnight Listening Mode
When late night hours or other factors require that the volume be kept low, the surround effects may tend to
become less than satisfactory. When the midnight listening mode is on, you can enjoy the effects of quality
surround sound even at low volumes.
Optical Digital Output
The digital signal input can be directly output to digital recording components such as MD, DAT and CD-R from
the optical digital output jack to create digital recordings.
5.1 Channel Input
By connecting components equipped with 5.1 channel output to the DVD 5.1 channel input on this unit, you can
enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound. Connections can be made to a DVD player or Multi channel decoder equipped
with 5.1 channel analog output jacks.
5 Channels of Independent Amplification
This receiver incorporates 5 independent 60 watt power amplifiers which enable high quality playback of Dolby
Digital sound. This construction provides improved linearity and accurate reproduction of each channel for true
high fidelity reproduction from even the most demanding Dolby Digital program sources.
Remote Control of Other Components
The supplied remote control can be used to operate a variety of other components simply by recalling the
appropriate preset code.
The Energy-saving Design
This unit is designed to use minimal electricity when power is switched OFF (during Standby). Regarding the value
of the power consumption in standby mode, refer to “Specifications” on the back cover.

Remote control may not function properly if :
• There are obstacles between the remote
control and the remote sensor.
• Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining
onto the remote sensor.
• The amplifier is located near a device
emitting infrared rays.
• Operated simultaneously with another
remote control which uses infrared rays.
Operating other PIONEER components
Connecting an optional control cord allows you to
operate other PIONEER components simply by pointing
the amplifier’s remote control at the remote sensor on
the front panel of the amplifier. The amplifier then sends
the remote control signals to the other devices via the
CONTROL OUT terminal.

When playing LD recorded in Dolby Digital
When connecting a DVD/LD player or LD player using
the AC-3 RF output, a commercially available RF
demodulator (RFD-1) is required. The RF demodulator
changes the RF signal to a digital signal which is then
processed by the amplifier through the digital input
jacks. For more details, refer to the instruction manual
supplied with the RFD-1.
The factory setting for each of the digital inputs is
described below.

• Install the left and right front speakers at equal distances from the TV.
• When installing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent
possible interference such as distortion in the color of the TV screen. If you do not have magnetically
shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV screen, place the speakers farther away from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above, below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV
screen.
CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable
means.
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, and it may lead to
endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.
