NOTES:
• Do not allow any of the cord conductors to protrude from the termi-
nals or touch any other conductors. Malfunctioning or breakdown
may occur when conductors come into contact with each other.
• If the knobs have not been turned and fixed firmly in a closed posi-
tion, there may be interruptions in sound and poor sound quality.
Speaker Impedance
The speakers connected to the speaker terminals should have a rated
impedance in the range of 4
Ω
to 16
Ω
.
CONNECTING THE SPEAKER CORDS
1 Strip off the vinyl covering and twist the tip of the wire core.
2 Loosen the knob and insert the wire core into the terminal hole.
3 Tighten the knob to fix the wire core in place.
The speaker terminals also accept single banana plugs.
(Refer to speaker manual for details.)
1 Tighten the knob to the closed position.
2 Insert the banana plug.
If you are using a Pioneer amplifier or receiver with the
Î mark (for example, the VSX-39TX), you can control
this unit with the remote controller that came with the
amplifier/receiver. Once connected, this unit will switch
on with the rest of your system. If the two amps are not
on or off in unison, use the power button on the main
unit to put them in the same state. Then you will be
able to control them both with the remote control.
To connect directly, use the supplied remote control
cord to connect the control out terminal of the ampli-
fier/receiver to the control in terminal of this unit (see
Fig. A).
If your system includes one or more
Î compatible units,
you can daisy-chain them from your amplifier/receiver
using commercially available monoral mini-plug cords,
with the M-10X at the end of the chain (see Fig. B).
NOTES:
• Make sure that at least one set of analog terminals is connected
through each component in the chain (as you did with the remote
control cord(s)) to the amplifier when controlling other components.
• When operating another component using a remote control, it must
be pointed at the amplifier/receiver, and not at the component.
• Only Pioneer products with the Î mark can be connected in this
manner.
