IMPORTANT

The lightning flash with arrowhead 

symbol, within an equilateral 

triangle, is intended to alert the 

user to the presence of uninsulated 

“dangerous voltage” within the 

product’s enclosure that may be of 

sufficient magnitude to constitute a 

risk of electric shock to persons.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION:

 

TO PREVENT THE RISK OF 

ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT 

REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). 

NO USER-SERVICEABLE  

PARTS INSIDE. REFER 

SERVICING TO QUALIFIED 

SERVICE PERSONNEL.

The exclamation point within  

an equilateral triangle is 

intended to alert the user to  

the presence of important 

operating and maintenance 

(servicing) instructions in  

the literature accompanying  

the appliance.

1.  Read these instructions.
2.  Keep these instructions.
3.  Heed all warnings.
4.  Follow all instructions.
5.  Do not use this apparatus near water.
6.  Clean only with dry cloth.

8.   Do not install near any heat sources such 

as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
apparatus (including amplifiers) that 
produce heat.

9.   Do not defeat the safety purpose of the 

polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized 
plug has two blades with one wider than 
the other. A grounding type plug has two 
blades and a third grounding prong. The 
wide blade or the third prong are provided 
for your safety. If the provided plug does not 
fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for 
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10.  Protect the power cord from being walked on 

or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit 
from the apparatus.

11.  Only use attachments/accessories specified 

by the manufacturer.

12.  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, 

or table specified by the manufacturer, or 
sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, 
use caution when moving the cart/apparatus 
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13.  Unplug this apparatus during lightning 

storms or when unused for long periods 
of time.

14.  Refer all servicing to qualified service 

personnel. Servicing is required when  
the apparatus has been damaged in any 
way, such as power-supply cord or plug 
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or 
objects have fallen into the apparatus, 
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or 
moisture, does not operate normally, or has 
been dropped.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTICE  

The serial number for the equipment is located 

on the rear of the product. Please write this 

serial number on the warranty sheet and keep 

it in a secure area for future reference.
VENTILATION CAUTION

 

When installing this unit, make sure to leave 

space around the unit for ventilation to improve 

heat radiation (at least 25 cm at top, 15 cm at 

rear, and 10 cm at each side)

.

WARNING

 

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided 

for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of  

the product, and to protect it from overheating. 

To prevent fire hazard, the openings should 

never be blocked or covered with items (such 

as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains) or by 

operating the equipment on thick carpet or 

a bed.
WARNING

 

To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any  

naked flame sources (such as a lighted candle) 

on the equipment.
WARNING

 

This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a 

fire or shock hazard, do not place any container 

filled with liquid near this equipment (such as 

a vase or flower pot) or expose it to dripping, 

splashing, rain or moisture.

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.

WARNING

 

Before plugging in for the first time, read the 
following section carefully.

  

The voltage of the available power supply 

differs according to country or region. Be 

sure that the power supply voltage of the area 

where this unit will be used meets the required 

voltage (e.g., 230 V or 120 V) written on the 

rear panel.

 

If the AC plug of this unit does not match  
the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must  
be removed and appropriate one fitted. 
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on 
the power supply cord of this unit should be 
performed only by qualified service personnel. 
If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug 
can cause severe electrical shock. Make 
sure it is properly disposed of after removal. 
The equipment should be disconnected by 
removing the mains plug from the wall socket 
when left unused for a long period of time (for 
example, when on vacation).

CAUTION

 

The POWER switch on this unit will not completely 
shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the 
power cord serves as the main disconnect 
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from 
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, 
make 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 when left unused for a long period 
of time (for example, when on vacation).

This product is for general household purposes. 
Any failure due to use for other than household 
purposes (such as long-term use for business 
purposes in a restaurant or use in a car or ship) 
and which requires repair will be charged for 
even during the warranty period.

WARNING:

 Handling the cord on this product 

or cords associated with accessories sold 
with the product may expose you to chemicals 
listed on proposition 65 known to the State 
of California and other governmental entities 
to cause cancer and birth defect or other 
reproductive harm.

OPERATING 

ENVIRONMENT

 

Operating environment temperature and humidity: 
+5 °C to +35 °C (+41 °F to +95 °F); less than 85 
%RH (cooling vents not blocked) Do not install 
this unit in a poorly ventilated area, or in locations 
exposed to high humidity or direct sunlight (or 
strong artificial light)
