If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC

outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed
and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and
mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of
this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.
The equipment should be disconnected by removing
the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused

Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the
AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make
sure the unit has been installed so that the power
cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in
case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power
cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet
when left unused for a long period of time (for
example, when on vacation).

Troubleshooting
Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is
something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in
another component. Investigate the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the
trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest Pioneer
authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.
• If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect
the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.
Problem Remedy
The power does not turn on. • Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again.
• Make sure there are no loose strands of speaker wire touching the
rear panel. This could cause the receiver to shut off automatically.
• If the power shuts off automatically, take the unit to your nearest
Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for servicing.
Power cannot be turned off. • Press the ZONE 2 ON/OFF button to switch the sub zone off.

• Press SIGNAL SEL to select the proper input signal (see Selecting
the audio input signal on page 25).
• Even if you connect the playback components with an HDMI cable,
no sound will come out of the speaker connected to this receiver. An
audio cable connection is also needed for this.
• If the connection was made using an optical or a coaxial cable,
you'll need to press SIGNAL SEL button to select the input signal
corresponding to the playback components (refer to Selecting the
audio input signal on page 25).
No image is output when a • Make sure the component is connected correctly (refer to
