Important
• The signal ground ( ) is designed to reduce noise
that occurs when an antenna is connected. It is not
an electrical safety ground.

FM wire antenna

• Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNBAL
75Ω in the same way as the AM antenna.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a
wall or door frame. Don't drape loosely or leave coiled up.

Connecting external antennas

To improve FM reception connect an external FM
antenna to the FM UNBAL 75Ω.
75Ω coaxial cable
To improve AM reception, connect a 5–6m length of vinyl-
coated wire to the AM LOOP terminals without
disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna.

Plugging in the receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your
components to this receiver, including the speakers.
Caution
• Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull
out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the
power cord when your hands are wet, as this could
cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place
the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the
power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never
make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cables. The
power cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can
cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the
power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged,
ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent
service company for a replacement.
• 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.
• The receiver should be disconnected by removing the
mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular
use, e.g., when on vacation.

1 Plug the supplied power cord into the AC IN
socket on the back of the receiver.
2 Plug the other end into a power outlet.

AC outlet

Power supplied through this outlet is turned on and off by
the receiver's power switch. Total electrical power
consumption of connected equipment should not exceed
100 W (0.4 A).
Caution
• Do not connect a TV set, monitor, heater, or similar
appliance to this unit's AC outlet.
• Do not connect appliances with high power
consumption to the AC outlet in order to avoid
overheating and fire risk. This can also cause the
receiver to malfunction.
• Since a subwoofer or power amplifier can exceed the
100W maximum when playing sources at a high
volume, this type of equipment should not be
connected to the AC outlet.
