Introductory Information
Operating other PIONEER components
Receiver Installation
• Do not place objects directly on top of this unit. It will prevent proper heat dispersal.
• When installing in a rack, etc., be sure to leave more than 8 inches of space above the receiver.
You can also control PIONEER components
(and those made by other manufacturers) by
pointing the receiver’s remote control directly
at the respective component. This type of
operation does not require control cords. All
you have to do is recall the appropriate preset
code (Refer to “Recalling preset codes” on
page 22).
memo
It is recommended that you place the
receiver to the left of your cassette and/
or video decks. This will prevent noise
caused by leakage flux from the
transformer in the receiver. If you
experience noise during playback of
your cassette and/or video decks, move
them farther away from the receiver.

When Making Cable Connections
Be careful not to arrange cables in a manner that bends
the cables over the top of this unit as shown in the
illustration. If the cables are brought over this unit, the
magnetic field produced by the transformers in this unit
may cause a humming noise to come from the speakers.
