-
Parts marked by “NSP” are generally unavailable because they are not in our Master Spare Parts List.
-
The >mark found on some component parts indicates the importance of the safety factor of the part.
Therefore, when replacing, be sure to use parts of identical designation.
-
When ordering resistors, first convert resistance values into code form as shown in the following examples.
Ex.1 When there are 2 effective digits (any digit apart from 0), such as 560 ohm and 47 k ohm (tolerance is shown by J = 5%,
and K = 10%).
560 Ω→56 × 101→561 ...................................................................RD1/4PU J
47 kΩ→47 × 103→473 ...................................................................RD1/4PU J
0.5 Ω→R50 .................................................................................................RN2H K
1 Ω→1R0 .................................................................................................RS1P K
Ex.2 When there are 3 effective digits (such as in high precision metal film resistors).

3.3 PAIRING WITH THE UNIT (INITIAL REGISTRATION)
In order for the unit to playback music stored on a Bluetooth capable device, pairing must first be performed. Pairing should be
performed when first using the unit with the Bluetooth capable device, or when the pairing data on the device has been erased
for any reason.
Pairing is a step required to allow communication using Bluetooth wireless technology to be carried out.
• Pairing is only performed the first time that you use the unit and the Bluetooth capable device together.
• In order to allow communication using Bluetooth wireless technology to take place, pairing must be performed on both the
unit and the Bluetooth capable device.
• After pressing the BT and switching to BT Audio function, perform the pairing procedure on the Bluetooth capable device.
If pairing has been performed correctly, you will not need to perform the pairing procedures for the unit as shown below.
Please refer to the user’s manual for your Bluetooth capable device for more details.
1 Press the uRECEIVER and turn the power to the unit on.
2 Press the BT.
3 Turn on the power to the Bluetooth capable device that you wish to pair with, and perform pairingprocedure on it.
Note
• This unit will be displayed as “Pioneer AVR” on all Bluetooth capable devices that you have.
Pairing will start.
• Place the Bluetooth capable device close to the unit.
• Please refer to the user’s manual for your Bluetooth capable device for details on when pairing can be performed and the
procedures required for pairing.
• When PINcode entry is requested, enter “0000.” (This unit does not accept any PINcode setting other than “0000.”)
4 Confirm on the Bluetooth capable device that pairinghas been completed.
If pairing with the Bluetooth capable device has been completed correctly “CONNECT“ will be displayed.

4. EACH SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT
4.1 UPDATING OF THE FIRMWARE (IC3: SUB MICROCOMPUTER)
Rear side
[Preparations]
1. Install the software for updating on the PC.
2. Unplug the power cord of the main unit.
Connect the FFC of the updating jig for updating to the
main unit.
(Orient the FFC so that the conductive surface of the
connector faces the triangular asymbol.)
[Procedures]
To perform updating, proceed as follows:
1. Set the values for Target MCU and Crystal Frequency,
as follows:
Target MCU: MB9AF156M/N/R 1
Crystal Frequency: 4MHz 2
3. Start the software for updating on the PC.
4. Click on "Full Operation (D+E+B+P)"7.
5. After the window shown below is displayed, turn the
main unit on.
6. Press the Reset button of the updating jig for updating.
7. Click on "OK" 8.
3. Specify the COM PORT.
Click on "Set Environment" 4to open the
Environment Setting window.
Assign the COM PORT number 5, according to the
environment.
Click on "OK" 6to close the Environment Setting
window.
2. Specify the software file to be updated.
Click on "Open" 3 to open the File Selection window.
Select Intel Hex files (*.hex) in File Type.
• The updating jig (GGF1642) in this Section is the same as that used for updating of the MAINmicrocomputer of the base
model (VSX-523-K/CUXESM).
• The software for updating to be used on a PC is "FLASH MCU Programmer for FM0+/FM3/FM4."
Please download it from Service Website.
• The updating procedure for MAINmicrocomputer is same as the base model (VSX-523-K/CUXESM).
Please refer to the Service Manual (RRV4418) for VSX-523 regarding it.

Note:
If an error message like the one shown below is displayed,
after checking the connection of the updating jig for updating
and the COM PORT setting, start updating again from Step 1.
10. Turn the main unit off then disconnect the updating jig
for updating.
11. Perform Factory Reset on the main unit.
