• If you want to use speaker cables terminated with
banana plugs, screw the speaker terminal fully
shut, then plug the banana plug into the end of the
speaker terminal.
Caution
• When using only one set of speaker terminals
(SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B), or when utilizing
bi-wiring connections, 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 32 Ω. Consult the
instructions accompanying your speakers for
details regarding the impedance value.
• Make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals
on the amplifier match those on the speakers.
• 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.
• Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker
terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the
back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a
safety measure.

Plugging in

Important
• When going on a trip or otherwise not using the
unit for an extended period, always disconnect the
power cord from its outlet. Note that various
internal settings will not be lost even if the power
cord is disconnected from its outlet for an extended
time.
• If it is necessary to detach the power cord, first be
sure to press the /I STANDBY/ON button on the
front panel of the unit so the A-10 is in standby
mode before detaching the cord.
Caution
• The use of a power cord other than the one provided
will invalidate the warranty, since Pioneer will not
be responsible for any damage incurred. (The
power cord provided with the model A-10 has a
rated current capacity of 2.5 A.)
• Do not use any power cord other than the one
supplied with this unit.
• Do not use the supplied power cord for any purpose
other than that described below.
After you've finished making all connections, plug the
unit into an AC outlet.
