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

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

D41-6-4_A1_En

This product is for general household purposes. Any
failure due to use for other than household purposes
(such as long-term use for business purposes in a
restaurant or use in a car or ship) and which requires
repair will be charged for even during the warranty
period.

K041_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

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.

Before you start

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

• Speaker cord x 2

• Operating instructions (this document)

Loading the batteries in the
remote control

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

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

• 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 ).

• Remote controllers for different devices can interfere
with each other. Avoid using remotes for other
equipment located close to this unit.

To stop the ASPM operation before it is
complete:

Press # whilst it is scanning for stations. The stations which
are already stored in memory will be kept there.

Note

• If the same station is broadcasting on different
frequencies, the strongest frequency will be stored in
memory.

• Any station which has the same frequency as the one
stored in memory will not be stored.

• If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the
scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM
operation, erase the preset memory.

• If no station have been stored in memory, “END” will
appear for about 4 seconds.

• If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not
be stored in memory.

• The same station name can be stored in different
channels.

• In a certain area or during certain time periods, the
station names may temporarily be different.

Notes for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does
not mean that the unit is faulty:

• “PS”, “NO PS” and a station name appear alternately,
and properly.

• If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a
station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function
may not work properly.

• When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too
weak, information like the station name may not be
displayed.

• “NO PS”, “NO PTY” or “NO RT” will flash for about 5
seconds, and then the frequency will be displayed.

Notes for radio text:

• The first 16 characters of the radio text will appear and
then they will scroll across the display.

• If you tune in to an RDS station which is not
broadcasting any radio text, “NO RT” will be displayed
when you switch to the radio text position.

• Whilst radio text data is received or when the text
contents change, “RT” will be displayed.
