SPEAKERS B), the speaker used should have a nominal impedance
between 4

Ω and 16 Ω. When using both sets of terminals, the

connected speakers should have nominal impedance between 8
Ω and 16 Ω. Consult the instructions accompanying your speakers
for details regarding the impedance value.

•These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS live voltage. To prevent

the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the

speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any

uninsulated parts.

Connecting the playback components

1

Connect the audio outputs of your SACD player (or CD player) to the
SACD/CD IN jacks on this receiver.

2

Connect the audio outputs of your network audio player to the
NETWORK IN jacks on this receiver.

•You may connect other audio components furnished with analog audio

output jacks. If you wish to connect a portable audio player or other

component furnished with mini-plug output jacks (or headphone jacks),

use of a commercially available conversion plug will be necessary.

Connecting the cassette deck

Connect the audio outputs of your cassette deck (or other recorder)
to the RECORDER IN jacks on this receiver. Then connect the audio
inputs on the cassette deck to the RECORDER OUT jacks on this
receiver.
This will allow you to make recordings from the components connected to

this receiver.

Connecting a turntable

Connect the audio outputs of your turntable to the PHONO IN jacks
on this receiver.

Important

•The SIGNAL GND terminal is provided to reduce noise when

connecting the unit to components such as an analog turntable.

•Do not connect the PHONO (MM) terminals to any component other

than a turntable; also, do not connect to a turntable equipped with

built-in equalizer. An excessively high sound output may be produced,

resulting in damage to your speakers or other devices.

•The unit’s PHONO (MM) terminals are designed to be used with

turntables equipped with MM (moving-magnet) type cartridges.

Turntables equipped with MC (moving-coil) cartridges cannot be used.

Plugging the receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your components to this receiver,

including the speakers.

1

Plug the supplied power cord into the AC IN socket on the back of
the receiver.

2

Plug the other end into a power outlet.

AC IN

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.
