Connecting external antennas

 

To improve FM reception connect an external FM 
antenna to the 

 

FM UNBAL 75

 

 

 

 terminal.

To improve AM reception, connect a 15 ft. to 18 ft. length 
of vinyl-coated wire to the 

 

AM LOOP

 

 terminals without 

disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna. 

For the best possible reception, suspend horizontally 
outdoors.

 

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.

• The receiver should be disconnected by removing the 

mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular 
use, e.g., when on vacation.

• Make sure the blue 

 

 

 STANDBY/ON

 

 light has gone 

out before unplugging.

 

Plug the power cord into a power outlet.

 

AC outlet 

 

Power supplied through this outlet is turned on and off by 
the receiver's power switch. Total electrical power 
consumption of connected equipment should not exceed 
100 W (0.8 A).

 

 Caution

 

• Do not connect a TV set, monitor, heater, or similar 

appliance to this unit's AC outlet.

• Do not connect appliances with high power 

consumption to the AC outlet in order to avoid 
overheating and fire risk. This can also cause the 
receiver to malfunction.

• Since a subwoofer or power amplifier can exceed the 

100 W maximum when playing sources at a high 
volume, this type of equipment should not be 
connected to the AC outlet.
