Using external antennas
To improve FM reception
Use a PAL connector (not supplied) to connect an external
FM antenna.
To improve AM reception
Connect a 5 m to 6 m length of vinyl-coated wire to the AM
antenna terminal without disconnecting the supplied AM
loop antenna.
For the best possible reception, suspend horizontally
outdoors.
Connecting to the front panel audio mini jack
Front audio connections are accessed via the front panel
using the
INPUT SELECTOR or PORTABLE button on the
remote control. Use a stereo mini-jack cable to connect a
digital audio player, etc.
Plugging in the receiver
Only plug in after you have connected all your components to
this receiver, including the speakers.
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 cables. 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
independent service company for a replacement.
• Do not use any power cord other than the one supplied
with this unit.
• Do not use the supplied power cord for any purpose other
than that described below.
• The receiver should be disconnected by removing the
mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular use,
e.g., when on vacation.
Note
• After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2
second to 10 second HDMI initialization process begins.
You cannot carry out any operations during this process.
The
HDMI indicator in the front panel display blinks
during this process, and you can turn on this receiver
once it has stopped blinking. When you set the
Control
with HDMI to OFF, you can skip this process. For details
about the Control with HDMI feature, see Control with
HDMI function on page 29.
1 Plug the supplied power cord into the AC IN socket on
the back of the receiver.
