LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH
Only muiti-voitage models are provided with this switch.
U.S. and Canadian models are not provided with a voltage
selector. Mains voltages in Saudi Arabia are 127 V and 220 V
only,
You will find the line voltage selector switch on the rear
panel. Before your model is shipped from the factory, the
switch is set to the power requirements of the destination;
nevertheless, you should check that it is set properly before
plugging the power cord into the AC wall socket. If the vol-
tage is not properly set, or if you move to an area where the
voltage requirements differ, adjust the selector switch as fol-
lows:
Before adjusting, disconnect the power cord.
Insert a medium-sized screwdriver into the groove of the
selector switch and set it to the voltage value of your area.

@ DANGEROUS
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. 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, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make
a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be
routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power
cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord
‘once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER au-
thorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.
PRECAUTIONS IN USE
Keep away from magnetic fields.
Generally, a large screen color TV will be affected by nearby
magnetic forces or terrestrial magnetism.
A magnetic field can disrupt the color. Keep your set away
from magnetic fieids, including high power amplifiers, battery-
operated toys, such as electric cars. When a speaker system
is to be installed to one side of your Hi-Fi Monitor Receiver,
keep it at least 50 cm (20 in) away.

FEATURES
TO CONSERVE ELECTRICITY
The MAIN POWER switch is provided in order to conserve elec-
tricity. When going to bed at night, or leaving home, the MAIN
POWER switch should be set to off. When power is turned off by
or the rernote contro! unit, TV POWER key, a small amount of
electricity continues to flow. through the display remote control
receiver directly (the STANDBY indicator continues to light}
SUPER-HIGH PICTURE QUALITY
With conventional displays, the absorption of external light by a
front glass screen results in a deterioration of picture quality. In
the Hi-Fi Monitor Receiver, however, the front glass has been
eliminated through the use of a new tinted face, thus virtually
eliminating transmissivity and greatly increasing contrast. The
CRT forms a 29-inch, full-square screen, thus allowing extremely
high image quality from edge to edge and corner to corner.
This Trident model can receive PAL, NTSC and SECAM TV
broadcasts. This fully automatic selection system identifies the
received signal, enabling you to use this receiver in another coun-
try where the broadcasting format is different.
16 Systems:
PAL (I, B/G, D/K), SECAM (I, B/G, D/K, K1), NTSC M, NTSC 3.58
(. B/G, D/K), NTSC 4.43 (|, B/G, D/K) broadcast reception;
NTSC-50 Hz, PAL-60 Hz playback.
Tuner Section:
® You can set this receiver to match various channel plans (U.S.,
U.S. CATV, CCIR, UK and Italy), enabling you to use it in many
different countries.
® Built-in digital synthesizer U.S. MTS (multi-channel sound)
tuner.
® Adaptable to CATV system, PLL (Phase Lock Loop) complete
synchronous detection, 96-channei input key pad for U.S.
and 95-channel input key pad for Europe.
® Off-the-air VHF, UHF, and cable (CATV) programs can be
tuned directly for all channels by use of the remote control
unit digit keys.
Video and Deflection:
@ With the newly developed cathode-ray tube, comb filter, and
wide-band video circuitry, a horizontal resolution of 700 lines
NTSC only (frequency response 9 MHz) is obtained.
@ The use of a color contour circuit (CT!) extends the apparent
color band from 500 Hz to 2 MHz and vastly improves the
color transition contours.
SIMPLE DESIGN WITH EMPHASIS ON EASY
VIEWING
Operation controls and: dials have been enclosed within the front
panel. The simple design allows the unit to serve as a display
center for various applications.
MULTIPLE INPUT AND OUTPUT TERMINALS
in order to allow the display to respond to multiple applications,
two sets of input terminal have been provided.
OPERATION INDICATION
Digital reproduction technology provides a DISPLAY indication
of the channel number on screen.
SYSTEM REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
Virtually all functions, including power, channel selection, and
volume can be operated at a distance by the remote control unit.
This remote control unit can also be used to operate Pioneer's LD
players with the mark (basic operation only).
FUNCTIONS AND ACCESSORIES

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
The picture quality of color programs and the sound quality largely depend on the outdoor antenna. Choose an antenna that is proper for
your area and set it up properly. Because antenna choice and installation require some technical knowledge, ask your local dealer for advice.
When connecting the outdoor antenna or the CATV to the
ANTENNA terminal:
When using an outdoor UHF and VHF antennas or cable (CATV) 2

MONITOR/REC (EXCEPT VIDEO) OUTPUT TERMINAL
The inscription (EXCEPT VIDEO) appears above the OUTPUT jack for VIDEO on the rear panel, indicating that the VCR signal corresponding
to video input is not output at this jack. This jack should be regarded principally as the picture recording output terminal for VCR.
A VCR is so constituted that the input signal is simultaneously output by the VCR itself, which results in undesirable oscillation.
In order to prevent such oscillation, the unit is constructed so that the video signal does not emerge, hence the inscription (EXCEPT VIDEO).
This design feature permits simultaneous VCR connection.
