Introductory Information
When Making Cable
Connections
Be careful not to arrange cables in a manner that bends
the cables over the top of this unit. If the cables are laid
on top of the unit, the magnetic field produced by the
transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise to
come from the speakers.
Checking the Supplied
Accessories
Please check that you've received the following supplied
accessories:
• AM loop antenna
• FM wire antenna
• Power cord
• Dry cell batteries (AA Size / IEC R6P) x2
• Remote control unit
• Operating instructions
• Speaker cord labels
Installing the Receiver
• When installing this unit, make sure to put it on a
secure and level plane that is stable.
• Don’t place it on the following places:
– on a color TV (the screen may distort)
– near a cassette deck (or close to a device that gives of a
magnetic field) This may interfere with the sound.
– in direct sunlight
– in damp or wet areas
– in extremely hot or cold areas
– in places where there is a vibration or other movement
– in places that are very dusty
– in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as a kitchen)
Ventilation
• When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat
dispersal (at least 20 cm at the top, 50 cm at the rear
and front, and 10 cm at each side). If not enough
space is provided between the unit and walls or other
equipment, heat will build up inside, interfering with
performance and/or causing malfunctions.
• If using a rack to hold the receiver make sure the
back of the rack and the left side are open.
• Also, if you’re using a case with glass doors, leave the
glass doors open when using the receiver.
• Do not place on a thick carpet, bed, sofa or fabric
having a thick pile. Do not cover the receiver with
fabric or other covering. Anything that blocks
ventilation will cause the internal temperature to rise,
which may lead to breakdown or fire hazard.
• Don’t place anything on top of the receiver except for
a Pioneer DV-444 or 545 DVD player. If you do place
one of these pieces of equipment on top of the
receiver be sure to leave ventilation space over that as
prescribed above.
• The receiver may become hot while in use, please
take care around it.
Cassette deck placement
Depending on where the cassette deck is placed, noise
may occur during playback of your cassette deck which
is caused by leakage flux from the transformer in the
receiver. If you experience noise, move the cassette deck
farther away from the receiver.
Storing optical cable
When storing optical cable, coil loosely as shown below.
The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.
