FM/AM ANTENNA terminals
Use these antenna terminals for reception of normal FM and AM
broadcasts.
© For details regarding antenna connection, see the section
"Hints for Better Reception' on page 28.
ANTENNA FN-B (CATV) terminal
Use this antenna terminal for reception of CATV FM broadcasts.

TAPE jacks
The REC/PLAY jack on the receiver consists of two sets,
TAPE 1 and TAPE 2. It is possible to connect two tape decks to
the receiver and do simultaneous recording or tape to tape record-
ing. When connecting only one tape to the receiver, connect it to
the TAPE 1 jack.
Connecting for Recording
The tape recording jack (TAPE REC) on the tape deck should be
connected to the REC side of the TAPE jack on the receiver with a
pin plug connecting cord.
Connecting for Playback
Connect the TAPE PLAY jack on the tape deck to the PLAY side
of the TAPE jack on the receiver with a pin plug connecting cord.
GND terminal
Connect the ground lead of a turntable to this terminal.
VIDEO ADAPTOR jacks
Use to connect a video adaptor component such as a video
enhancer or color corrector.
VDP/VCR 3 jacks
[VIDEO IN]
When watching the video image from a LaserVision player (VDP)
or a VCR used for playback, connect its VIDEO OUTPUT jacks
here.
[AUDIO IN (L, R)]
When playing back the audio channel from a LaserVision player
(VDP) or a VCR for playback, connect its AUDIO OUTPUT jacks
here.
VCR 2 jacks
[VIDEO OUT]
When copying program materials from the video component con-
nected to the VCR 1 or VDP/VCR 3 jacks, connect to the VIDEO
INPUT jacks of the VCR used for recording.
[AUDIO OUT (L, R))
When copying program materials from the video component con-
nected to the VCR 1 or VDP/VCR 3 jacks, or when recording
music from an audio component source, connect to the AUDIO
INPUT jacks of the VCR used for recording.
SURROUND POWER AMP IN jacks
When a separate pre-amplifier is connected and VSX-5000 is used
as power amplifier for surround 'speakers, connect the pre-
amplifier to these jacks.
(Standard input 150 mV, Impedance 50 k2)
SURROUND PRE-AMP OUT jacks
When a power amplifier is used to connect surround speakers,
connect the power amplifier to these jacks.
(Standard output 150 mV, Impedance 470 Q)
SURROUND BALANCE control
Use to adjust the surround effect from the surround speakers.
Normally leave in the center position. When inputting a monaural
signal, adjust so that the surround output is minimum.
REMOTE CONTROL IN/OUT jacks
IN: Connect this jack to other Pioneer components (main unit or
remote control unit) when using those components to con-
trol this unit.
OUT: Connect this jack to other Pioneer components when using
this unit's remote control to control the other components.

VCR 1 jacks
[VIDEO OUT]
When copying program materials from the video component con-
nected to the VCR 2 or VDP/VCR 3 jacks, connect to the VIDEO
INPUT jacks of the VCR used for recording.
[AUDIO OUT (L, R)]
When copying program materials from the video component con-
nected to the VCR 2 or VDP/VCR 3 jacks, or when recording
music from an audio component source, connect to the AUDIO
INPUT jacks of the VCR used for recording.
[VIDEO IN]
When monitoring the video image from a VCR used for playing,
connect its VIDEO OUTPUT jacks here.
[AUDIO IN (L, R)]
When monitoring back the audio channel from a VCR used for
playing, connect its AUDIO OUTPUT jacks here.
[VIDEO IN]
When monitoring the video image from a VCR used for copying,
connect its VIDEO OUTPUT jacks here.
[AUDIO IN (L, R)]
When monitoring the audio channel from a VCR used for copying,
connect its AUDIO OUTPUT jacks here.
L+R output jacks
These are the Dolby surround center channel signa! output jacks.
They can also be used as a 3D system MONO output.
(Standard output 1 V, output impedance 4.7 KQ.)
SPEAKERS terminals
A: Connect to a first set of speakers (or the front speakers in a sur-
round system).
B: Connect to a second set of speakers (or the surround speakers
in a surround system).
¢ The words in parenthesis apply to when the SURROUND
ON/OFF selector switch is ON.

NOTE:
Do not allow any of the cord's conductors to protrude from the
terminals or touch any other conductors. Malfunctioning or
breakdowns may occur when conductors come into contact
with each other.
Power cord
FRONT POWER AMP IN jacks
When a separate pre-amplifier is connected and the VSX-5000 is
used as power amplifier, connect the pre-amplifier to these jacks.
(Standard input 1 V, input impedance 50 k2)
FRONT PRE-AMP OUT jacks
When a separate power amplifier is used to connect the front
speakers, connect the power amplifer to these jacks.
(Standard output 1 V, output impedance 470 2)
VIDEO OUT jacks
Use to connect a TV set for watching program materials from the
VCR or VDP connected to this unit.
[TO MONITOR TV jack]
Connect to a monitor TV or to a TV set with video input terminals.
(TO RF MODULATOR jack]
Use to connect a normal TV set. When performing connections,
the RF MODULATOR JA-RFS5: (sold separately) is required. By
connecting an RF modulator, video signals can be converted to
VHF signals (U.S. channel 3 or 4), thus allowing this unit to be
used to view the selected source on a normal television set.

AC OUTLETS
(SWITCHED) TOTAL 300 W MAX
(UNSWITCHED) 200 W MAX
Power flows continually to this outlet, regardless of whether the
receiver is switched ON or OFF. Electrical power consumption of
the connected equipment should not exceed 200 W.
The equipment should be disconnected by removing the main plug
from the wall socket when not in regular use, e.g. when on vaca-
tion.
NOTE:
Do not connect appliances with high power consumption such
as heaters, irons, or television sets to the AC OUTLETS in order
to avoid overheating or fire risk.
This can cause the receiver to malfunction.
Set this switch to the nominal impedance of your speakers. When
using surround speakers, or when two sets of speakers are used
together, each set of speakers should have a nominal impedance
of 8—16 ohms. When connecting surround speakers, always set
to position @.
When SURROUND ON/OFF selector switch is ON position:

If speakers are used in ways other than those shown above, the
speakers may not deliver proper output, or unnecessary heatng
may be caused.
SURROUND ON/OFF selector switch
When surround speakers are connected to the SPEAKER B ter-
minals, set to the ON position; in all other cases, leave in the OFF
position. When set to the ON position, the SURROUND mode an
be selected with the unit's main controls or with the remote con-
trol unit.
Before operating this switch, read the explanation on he
SPEAKER IMPEDANCE selector switch.
