Operating Instructions
Mode d’emploi

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
— Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

The exclamation point within an
equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of
important operating and
maintenance (servicing)

accompanying the appliance.

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.

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.

S002*_A1_En

Do not install your speakers overhead on the ceiling or
wall. The grill is designed to be detachable, and as such
it may fall and cause damage or personal injury if
installed overhead.

SGK004_A1_En

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful
to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your
equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

• Set your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

• Once you have established a comfortable sound
level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear
what’s around you.

• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.

• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized
vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

S001a_A1_En

WARNING

This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire or
shock hazard, do not place any container filled with
liquid near this equipment (such as a vase or flower
pot) or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain or
moisture.

D3-4-2-1-3_A1_En

WARNING

To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame
sources (such as a lighted candle) on the equipment.

D3-4-2-1-7a_A1_En

VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation
(at least 25 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 5 cm at each
side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product,
and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire
hazard, the openings should never be blocked or
covered with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths,
curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet
or a bed.

D3-4-2-1-7b*_A1_En

Operating Environment

Operating environment temperature and humidity:
+5 °C to +35 °C (+41 °F to +95 °F); less than 85 %RH
(cooling vents not blocked)
Do not install this unit in a poorly ventilated area, or in
locations exposed to high humidity or direct sunlight
(or strong artificial light)

D3-4-2-1-7c*_A1_En

WARNING

Store small parts out of the reach of children and
infants. If accidentally swallowed, contact a doctor
immediately.

D41-6-4_A1_En

WARNING

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
The MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the
disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain

CAUTION

This product is a class 1 laser product classified
under the Safety of laser products, IEC 60825-1:2007.

CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT

D58-5-2-2a_A1_En

CAUTION

The STANDBY/ON 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
plug 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).

D3-4-2-2-2a*_A1_En

This product is for general household purposes. Any
failure due to use for other than household purposes

What’s in the box

Please confirm that the following accessories are in the box
when you open it.

•Remote control

•Power cord

• Video cable (1.5 m)

• FM wire antenna

• AAA batteries (R03) x 2

•iPad stand

• Operating instructions (this document)

Loading the batteries in the
remote control

1 Open the rear lid and load the batteries as
illustrated below.

• Batteries may have different voltages, even if they are the
same size and shape. Do not use different types of
batteries together.

• To prevent leakage of battery fluid, remove the batteries
if you do not plan to use the remote control for a long
period of time (1 month or more). If the fluid should leak,
wipe it carefully off the inside of the case, then insert new
batteries. If a battery should leak and the fluid should get
on your skin, flush it off with large quantities of water.

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

• 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.

Using the remote control

The remote has a range of about 7 m at an angle of about 30º
from the remote sensor.

2 Close the rear lid.

CAUTION

• When inserting the batteries, make sure not to damage
the springs on the battery’s  terminals. This can cause
batteries to leak or over heat.

• Do not use any batteries other than the ones specified.
Also, do not use a new battery together with an old one.

• When loading the batteries into the remote control, set
them in the proper direction, as indicated by the polarity
marks ( and ).

• Do not heat batteries, disassemble them, or throw them
into flames or water.

6

En

Keep in mind the following when using the remote control:

• Make sure that there are no obstacles between the
remote and the remote sensor on the unit.

• 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 close to this unit.

• Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the
operating range of the remote.
