GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
¶ If this product is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than
the other), it will fit into the outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
¶ If this product is equipped with a three-wire
grounding type plug, a plug having a third (grounding)
pin, it will only fit into a grounding type power outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to

1 Before You Start
Caution!
Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as leakage and bursting. Please
observe the following:
• Don’t mix new and old batteriy together.
• Don’t use different kinds of battery together— although they may look similar,
different batteries may have different voltages.
• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each battery match the indications in the
battery compartment.
• Remove batteries from equipment that isn’t going to be used for a month or more.
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a suitable location for it:
Do...
✓ Use in a well-ventilated room.
✓ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo
rack.
Don’t...
✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including
near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
English
✗ Place on a window sill or other place where the player will be
exposed to direct sunlight.
✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your
stereo system that becomes hot in use.
✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may experience
interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the player may be exposed
to smoke or steam.
✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent
proper cooling of the unit.
✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to
support all four of the unit’s feet.
Avoiding condensation problems
Condensation may form inside the player if it is brought into a warm room from outside,
or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation won’t damage
the player, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it
to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using.

Connecting the AM and FM antennas
Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to listen to both AM and FM radio
broadcasts. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you
better sound quality—see Connecting external antennas on the following page for more
on how to do this.
Important: Before making or changing antenna connections, make sure that the
power is switched off and the unit disconnected from the AC wall outlet.

4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction
giving the best reception.
Avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances (including the
display unit of this system), and do not let it come into contact with metal objects.
Note: The signal ground (H) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an antenna
is connected. It is not an electrical safety ground.
FM wire antenna
1 Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as the AM antenna.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape
loosely or leave it coiled up. The supplied FM antenna is a simple means of receiving FM
stations; using a dedicated, outdoor FM antenna will usually give you better reception and
sound quality. See below for connection details.
English
Connecting external antennas
If you find reception quality is poor with the supplied indoor antennas, try connecting
outdoor antennas (not supplied).
External AM antenna
Use 15 to 18 feet (5–6 meters) of vinyl-insulated wire and set up either indoors or
outdoors. Leave the AM loop antenna connected.

When connecting or disconnecting speakers, make sure that the power is switched off and
the unit unplugged from the wall outlet.
To get the best sound from the system, it’s important that the red (+) and black (–)
speaker terminals on the rear of the unit are connected to the corresponding terminals on
each speaker. The wires and terminals are color-coded to make this easier.
Important: Make sure that the bare speaker wires cannot touch each other, or come
into contact with other metal parts once the unit is switched on.
1 Insert a wire into each speaker terminal on the rear of the unit.

Using a sub-woofer
If you want more powerful bass than the provided speakers deliver, connect a powered
sub-woofer to the SUB-WOOFER OUT jack. See the instructions that come with the
sub-woofer for detailed installation instructions.
• Connect the sub-woofer to this system using a standard audio cord with RCA/phono
plugs.
• It is possible to use a passive sub-woofer. Connect the SUB-WOOFER OUT of this
system to a suitable amplifier, then connect the sub-woofer to that amplifier.
• The SUB-WOOFER OUT signal is a mono mix of the left and right channels.
Connecting to other components
The CD receiver has analog audio inputs and outputs for connecting up other
components. Possible uses for the analog inputs include sound from a VCR or satellite
receiver, an MD or tape deck, or turntable (with suitable phono amplifier). Use a standard
stereo audio cable (with RCA/phono plugs on either end) to connect the AUX IN
(auxiliary inputs) on this unit to the audio out sockets on the other component. Be sure
to match the color-coded plugs and sockets at both ends for best results.
If you want to record from this unit to an external MD, CD-R or tape recorder, connect the
AUX OUT (auxiliary outputs) of this unit to the audio inputs of your recorder. (If you're
connecting to a digital recorder, be careful to use the analog inputs.) Again, use a
standard stereo audio cable, matching the colours on the plugs and sockets both ends for
best results.
English
Plugging in to an AC outlet
After making sure that everything is properly connected, plug in to a power outlet. After
plugging in, a demonstration sequence starts in the display. Press STANDBY/ON (front
panel) or POWER (remote) to stop the demo, or see the back page for how to turn it
off completely.
Power cord caution
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
cords. 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 service center
or your dealer for a replacement.
