Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is
something wrong with this component, check the points below. Take a look at the other
components and electrical appliances being used, because sometimes the problem may lie
there. If the trouble isn’t sorted out even after going through the checks below, ask your nearest
Pioneer authorized independent service company to carry out repair work.

If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect
the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.

Remedy

The power does not turn on.

• Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again.
• Make sure there are no loose strands of speaker wire touching the rear panel. This
could cause the receiver to shut off automatically.

blinks.

switch the receiver back on. If the message persists, call a Pioneer authorized
