FM Antenna AM Loop Antenna Remote control unit Dry cell batteries (AA/R6P)
REMOTE CONTROL RANGE
When operating the remote control unit, point the front of the
unit at the front panel of the receiver. The remote control unit
may be used within a range of about 7 meters from the remote
sensor, within angles of up to about 30 degrees.
Remote control will not be possible if there is an obstacle be­
tween the remote control unit itself and the remote sensor win­
dow in the receiver. Performance of the remote control unit is
adversely affected in the presence of strong fluorescent light. Keep
such lights away, especially from the sensor window.
LOADING BATTERIES
1. Open the rear cover.
2. Install AA/R6P batteries correctly matching polarities.
3. Close the cover.
Incorrect use of batteries may lead to leakage or rupture.
Always be sure to follow these guidelines:
A: Always insert batteries into the battery compartment correctly
matching the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities, as indi­
cated inside the compartment.
B: Never mix new and used batteries.
C: Batteries of the same size may have different voltages, de­
pending on their type. Do not mix different types of batteries.
LOCATION
Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not
be exposed to high temperatures or humidity.
Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct
rays of the sun, or near hot appliances or radiators. Excessive
heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components.
Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also
result in a malfunction or an accident. (Avoid installation near
cookers etc., where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam
or heat.)
Do not install the unit on a tottered stand, nor on an unstable or
inclined surface.

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 au­
thorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.
VENTILATION
Do not install this product into the rack because the MAIN
POWER switch is on the rear panel.
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the
unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 55 cm at
top, 10 cm at rear, and 20 cm at each side). If not enough space
is provided between the unit and walls or other equipment,
heat will build up inside, interfering with performance or
causing malfunctions.
Do not place on a thick carpet, bed, sofa or fabric having a
thick pile. Do not cover with fabric or other covering.
Anything that blocks ventilation will cause internal tempera­
ture to rise, which may lead to breakdown or fire hazard.
