¶ Please place this unit on a level surface.

1Before you start

Checking what's in the box

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

• Remote control unit

• AA/R6P batteries (x2)

• FM wire antenna

• AM loop antenna

• AC power cord

• These operating instructions

• Terms of limited warranty (Argentina model only)

Using this manual

This manual is for the X-NM10 compact mini component. It is split into three sections: setting up (chapters 1 and 2); using the system (chapters 3 to 8), and additional information (chapter 9). This last chapter contains care information for the unit and discs, a troubleshooting section and specifications.

• Make sure not to damage the controller by inserting

English

the battery holder incorrectly (check the diagram above).

• Make sure that the plus and minus sides of the battery match the indications on the battery compartment.

• Remove batteries from equipment that isn’t going to be used for a month or more.

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

H048 En

• Keep the lithium battery out of reach of children.

• If somebody swallows the lithium battery, immediately call your doctor.

Using the remote control

The diagram below shows the operating range of the remote control.

Putting the batteries in the remote

1 Turn over the remote control and release

the battery cover catch to open the compartment.

2 Insert two AA/R6P batteries.

Take care to put it in the right way up, matching ª and · as shown below.

3 Close the battery compartment, and your

3030

Keep in mind the following when using the remote control:

• Make sure that nothing is blocking the remote sensor on the unit.

• Remote operation may become unreliable if direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the remote sensor. Make sure you place the unit in a suitable location.

Before you start1

• Remotes for different devices can interfere with each other. Avoid using remotes for other equipment located nearby this unit.

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

Finding a suitable location

We want you to enjoy using your new stereo system for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for the system components and speakers:

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 heatgenerating appliances.

✗ Place on a window sill or other place where any of

the components or speakers will be exposed to direct sunlight.

✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment. ✗ Place directly on top of any appliance which 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 unit may

be exposed to smoke or steam.

✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large

enough to support all four of the unit’s feet, or the whole footprint of each speaker.

✗ Block the cooling vents on the rear and top side of

the unit. Don’t cover the unit with cloth, or use on thick carpet, etc.

✗ Put objects above or on top of the system or speakers.

Avoiding condensation problems

Condensation may form inside the unit 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 unit, 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.

Proper ventilation for the unit

When installing, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 30 cm at top, 30 cm at rear, and 30 cm at each side). If there isn’t enough space between the unit and walls or other equipment, heat will build up inside, interfering with performance or causing malfunctions.

For this reason, don’t place the unit on a thick carpet, bed, sofa, or a pile of fabric. Also make sure not to cover the unit with fabric or any other covering. Anything that blocks ventilation will cause internal temperature to rise, which may lead to breakdown or a fire hazard.

Discs compatible with this system

Any disc that displays the following logo should play in this system. Other discs (such as CD-ROMs) will not play in this unit.

Single sided / Single layer. 12 cm or 8cm discs. Linear PCM digital audio.

2Connecting up

Connecting the system

Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all the components are switched off and unplugged from the power supply.

FM wire antenna

Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any other

English

amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire. These speakers are magnetically shielded, however, color distortion may occur if the speaker system is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this happens, turn off the television set, then turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

About antenna connections:

The antenna terminal ground symbols (H) indicate only that the terminals have been designed to reduce noise when antennas are connected; they are not safety grounds.

Connecting up2

Connecting the speakers

Use the supplied speaker cords to connect the speakers to the amplifier. To get the best sound from the system, it’s important that you connect the two strands of speaker cord for each speaker to the correct speaker terminal. The terminals and cords are color-coded to help you match them up.

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.

To connect a speaker cord to a terminal

1 Pull off the protective covers on the ends

of each cord, then twist the exposed wire strands together.

2 Push the tab to open, then insert the

twisted wire fully into the terminal.

Insert the wire with the blue stripe into the red (ª) terminal and the other wire into the black (·) terminal.

3 Release the tab to secure the speaker

cord.

Tug the wire lightly to make sure it’s secure.

2Connecting up

Connecting the radio 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 below for more on how to do this.

Before making or changing antenna connections, make sure that the power is switched off and the unit disconnected from the wall power outlet.

1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM

antenna wires.

2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire

fully into each terminal.

3 Release the tabs to secure the AM

antenna wires.

4 Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached

stand.

To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig. A) then clip the loop onto the stand (fig. B).

If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. C) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.

5 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 and do not let it come into contact with metal objects.

6 Connect the FM wire antenna in the same

way as the AM loop antenna.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up. You can use thumbtacks to hold the antenna arms extended widely.

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 Connecting external antennas on the next page for connection details.

In all track repeat mode, whenever the end of the disc is reached, the player will jump back to the first track and continue playback. You’re still free to skip tracks and use manual search.

Repeat play stays active until you:

• select another repeat mode.

• eject the disc.

• switch to standby mode.

Using random play

To play tracks in a different order each time you play a disc, use the random play feature. Each track will play just once, but the order will be random. When all tracks have been played, the disc stops. Use the remote control to select random play.

Manually saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This system can save up to 24 station presets. When saving FM frequencies, the receiver also saves the mono setting (see page 16).

7Making tape recordings

Introduction to tape recordings

You can make tape recordings from the radio or a disc loaded in the player, or from an external component connected to the auxiliary inputs. If you're recording from CD it may be more convenient to use synchro recording—see Automatically recording from a CD starting on the following page.

Once recording has started, you can't switch to another component until recording has stopped. So, for example, you can't switch over to the tuner while you're recording a CD.

Unlike some tape decks, there's no need to set recording levels; the deck sets the level automatically. When recording, the volume and sound settings have no effect on the recording. This means that you can record something with the volume turned right down, if you want.

Before recording, check that the cassette erase-protect tabs have not been broken, and that the tape is Type I (normal position); you can't record on Type II (high position/C

If you're recording from the start of a tape, it's a good idea to wind the tape on a little so that you don't accidently start recording over the leader tape. You can either do this by hand, or load the tape into the deck and play the tape for 5–6 seconds.
