sure the unit has been installed so that the power
cord 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

unused for a long period of time (for

when left
example, when on vacation).

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:

Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t
hear what’s around you.
Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
Do not use headphones while operating a motorized
vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

S001a_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.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is
something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in
another component. Investigate the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the
trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest Pioneer
authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

• If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect
the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.

Problem Remedy

The power does not turn on. • Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again.

Power automatically switches
to standby without user action.

No sound is output when a
function is selected.

Can’t operate the remote
control.

Considerable noise in radio
broadcasts.

Auto tuning does not pick up
some stations.

• If the power shuts off automatically, take the unit to your nearest
Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for servicing.

• When input is set to iPod, if no iPod is connected for one hour or
more, the unit’s power automatically turns OFF.

• Make sure the component is connected correctly (refer to
Connecting auxiliary components on page 17).

• Replace the battery (refer to page 6).

• Operate within 7 m (23 ft.), 30° of the remote sensor on the front
panel (refer to page 7).

• Remove the obstacle or operate from another position.

• Avoid exposing the remote sensor on the front panel to direct light.

• Fully extend the FM wire antenna, position for best reception, and
secure to a wall. You may also connect an outdoor FM antenna.

• Turn off any other equipment that may be causing the noise or
move it away from the unit.

• The radio signal is weak. Auto tuning will only detect radio stations
with a good signal. For more sensitive tuning, connect an outdoor
antenna.
