Condensation
If the player is moved suddenly from a cold place into a
warm room (in winter, for example) or if the
temperature in the room in which the player is installed
rises suddenly due to a heater, etc., water droplets
(condensation) may form inside (on operating parts and
the lens). When condensation is present, the player will
not operate properly and playback is not possible. Let
the player stand at room temperature for 1 or 2 hours
with the power turned on (the time depends on the
extent of condensation). The water droplets will
dissipate and playback will become possible.
Condensation can also occur in the summer if the
player is exposed to the direct wind from an
air-conditioner. If this happens, move the player to a
different place.

n AC power connection
After checking all the connections have been made
correctly, plug the AC power lead of this unit into the wall
socket.
Note:
Unplug the AC power lead from the wall socket if the unit
will not be in use for a prolonged period of time.
Caution:
l Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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, or other object on the power
cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a
knot in the cord or tie it with other cables. The power
cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be
stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or
give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once
in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest
Pioneer authorized independent service company for a
replacement.
l Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied
with this unit.
l Do not use the supplied power cord for any purpose
other than that described above.
n Connect your TV (Enjoying DVD or iPod
video)
For better quality, you can also connect with S-video using
the S-VIDEO OUT jack.
If your TV also has a component video input or HDMI
input, you can connect this too.
Using the component video jacks:
Component video should deliver superior picture quality
when compared to composite video. A further advantage
is progressive-scan video, which delivers a very stable,
flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your
TV to check whether they are compatible with progressivescan video.
Using HDMI terminal:
If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped TV, you
can connect it to this receiver using a commercially
available HDMI cable.
Note:
If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try
adjusting the resolution settings on your TV. Note that
some video contents have resolutions that may not be
displayed. In this case, use a (analog) composite
connection.

n About DAB+ (Digital Audio Broadcasting)
Digital Audio Broadcasting is a digital transmission system
where audio signals are converted to digital signals for
broadcasting. DAB+ is broadcast as a group of data called
multiplex (ensemble) which may contain one or more
stations (services). Each station contains a primary
service and there may be one or more secondary
services. This allows several programmes or services to
be transmitted on a single frequency.
n Auto Scan
When turned on for the first time, the unit scans radio
stations automatically to create a station list. You can
make the Auto Scan again when you move the unit to
other areas or add multiplex channels to the station list.
1 Press the TUNER/DAB button until "DAB" appears on

n Before transporting the unit
Remove the iPod, USB memory device and disc from the
unit. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode.
Carrying the unit with iPod or USB memory device left
docked or discs left inside might damage the unit.
n Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however
mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on
the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum
enjoyment from your CD collection and player.
l Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the
non-label side from which signals are read. Do not
mark this surface.
l Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and
excessive moisture.
l Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or
water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a
CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft,
dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the
radius.
Maintenance
n Cleaning the cabinet

l Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner,
etc.). It may damage the cabinet.
l Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause
malfunctions.
