Connecting up

Chapter 2:
Connecting up
Caution
• Before making or changing the connections,
switch off the power and disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet.
• Connect the power cord after all the connections
between devices have been completed.

Analog audio output connections

By connecting this unit's analog audio output to the
analog audio input of an amplifier, you can use the
amplifier to enjoy analog audio produced from this unit.

Digital audio output connections

If desired, the digital audio output from this unit can be
connected to an AV amplifier or digital recording device
(CD recorder, MD, etc.).
• This unit's DIGITAL OUT terminals do not output
sound from SACD and DSD discs, nor from iPod/
iPhone/iPad devices.

Important
Care in the handling of optical fiber cables
• Do not allow optical fiber cables to be bent at sharp
angles. When storing optical fiber cables, roll in
coils of at least 15 cm diameter.
• When connecting optical fiber cables, align the
connectors correctly and insert fully. If the
orientation of the cable connector is incorrect and
excessive force is applied in the attempt to fasten
the connector, the connector may be deformed,
preventing the shutter from closing when the cable
is removed.
Note
• For digital audio output, CDs played on this unit
must produce linear PCM signals with a sampling
rate up to 44.1 kHz and quantitative bits up to 16
bits (some discs may not be playable depending on
the connected component and environment). For
information about other files, see page 12.
Using centralized control with other
Pioneer components (PD-30 only)
This unit and other Pioneer components equipped with
CONTROL IN/OUT jacks can be controlled with a single
remote control by aiming the remote toward the signal
receptor on the AV amplifier or other component. This
also allows remote control of components not equipped
with a remote sensor, or installed in places where the
component's remote sensor cannot be accessed.

Note
• For connections use a commercially available
monaural miniplug cord (without resistor).
• When connecting the CONTROL IN/OUT jacks,
commercially available audio cords must also be
used to make analog connections. Merely
connecting the CONTROL IN/OUT jacks alone will
not allow proper system control.
• When a control cord is connected to the PD-30's
CONTROL IN jack, the unit cannot be controlled by
pointing the remote control at the PD-30 (the
remote sensor is automatically disabled).

Plugging in

Important
• 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 PD-30 is turned OFF or
the PD-10 is in standby mode before detaching the
cord.
• Confirm that the [-OFF-] indicator is not lighted in
the main unit's front panel display before
disconnecting the power cord. If the power cord is
disconnected while the [-OFF-] indicator is still
lighted, the unit's settings may revert to factory
defaults.
• When going on a trip or otherwise not using the
unit for an extended period, always disconnect the
power cord from its outlet.
Caution
• 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.
