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-SER- VICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

1 Before You Start

Checking what's in the box

Thank you for buying this Pioneer product. Before starting to set up your new stereo system, please check that you have received the following supplied accessories:

•	Two 'AAA' size R03 batteries	•	FM wire antenna
•	Remote control unit	•	AM loop antenna
•	Warranty card	•	Two Speaker Cords
•	These operating instructions

Using this manual

This manual is for the X-MT2000. It is split into three sections: setting up (chapters 1 and 2); using the system (chapters 3 to 6), and additional information (chapter 7). This last chapter contains care information for the unit and discs, a troubleshooting section and specifications.

Removing the transport stopper

The transport stopper secures the disc tray for safe transportation. Be sure to remove it before switching the unit on. Keep the stopper in case you need to transport the unit in the future — see Moving the unit on page 29.

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.

English

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.

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.

The back panel

Before plugging in and switching on, you should connect the speakers and the two radio antennas. Optionally you can connect a powered sub-woofer, and an external component, such as an MD recorder.

ANTENNA terminals. See Connecting the AM and FM antennas starting on this page.

Power cord. See

Plugging in to the mains on page 11

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.

AM loop antenna

1Assemble the antenna as shown below.

2 Connecting Up

2Twist off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.

3		Insert one wire into each terminal. To open a terminal, press down	English
		on the tab; release to secure.
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

1Connect 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.

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.

Connecting the speakers

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.

2 Connecting Up

	Using a sub-woofer	English
	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.

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) orPOWER (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.
