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 75 Ω.
75 Ω coaxial cable

The type of cord and the plug converter which can be
used depends on the power voltage in each region or
country. Please make sure you use the correct cord and
plug converter due to the possibility of fire or other hazard
if used incorrectly (see below).

• 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.
