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.
Note
• After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second to
10 second HDMI initialization process begins. You cannot
carry out any operations during this process. The HDMI
indicator in the front panel display blinks during this process,
and you can turn on this receiver once it has stopped blinking.
When you set the Control with HDMI to OFF, you can skip this
process. For details about the Control with HDMI feature, see
Control with HDMI function on page 34.
