Operating
* The illustration shows model SX-2300.
Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
Please read through these operating instructions so you will
know how to operate your model properly. After you have fin-
ished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place
for future reference.
In some countries or regions, the shape of the power plug and
power outlet may sometimes differ from that shown in the
explanatory drawings. However, the method of connecting
and operating the unit is the same.

The line voltage selector switch is on the rear panel. Before
your model is shipped from the factory, this switch is set to
the power requirements of the destination. Check that it is
set properly before plugging the power cord into the AC
outlet. If the voltage is not properly set or if you move to an
area where the voltage requirements differ, adjust the selec-
tor switch as follows.
4. Use a medium-size screwdriver.
2. Insert the screwdriver into the groove on the voltage
selector, and adjust so that the tip of the groove points to
the voltage value of your area.

SURROUND SYSTEM (SX-2300 Only)
What is surround sound?
With ordinary stereo, sound normally comes only from
speakers in front of the listener. In a concert hail or theater
though, sound reflected from the walls and ceiling reaches
the listener from aif directions. This is what accounts for the
feeling of ambience or spaciousness of a live performance.
Surround sound works to reproduce these effects to provide
fuller, more “live” sound

@) POWER switch
When this switch is pressed, power is supplied to the unit.
Press the switch again to turn power off.
@ SPEAKERS switches (MOFF, mON)
These are used to select the speaker through which you wish
to listen.
A: When the speakers connected to A terminals are in use.
B: When the speakers connected to B terminals are in use.
¢ Turn both A and B speakers to OFF position when only the
HEADPHONES are inuse.
NOTE: (SX-1300 only}
No sound will be heard through the speakers when both A
and B switches are depressed if only one set of speakers has
been connected to either A or 8B SPEAKERS terminals.
(@ SURROUND selector switch (SX-2300 only)
By pressing the A and B SPEAKERS switches, then pressing
this switch ON, you can obtain surround reproduction. If you
press this switch OFF again, normal reproduction from both
speakers A and B will be obtained.
@ PHONES jack
Connect the plug on your headphones to this jack. To listen
to a program through the headphones, set both SPEAKERS
A and B switches to the OFF position.
&) SIMULATED STEREO switch (SX-2300 only}
This turns monaural signals into simulated stereo sound. Use
this when you wish to experience the sense of stereo pres-
ence with AM broadcasts, VCR or other monaural signal
sources.
NOTE:
This function can also be used with stereo sources, but it wilf
result in a different sound from the normal stereo sound.
(©) MEMORY SCAN switch
Press this switch to scan the stations in the memory.
@) FM MODE AUTO/MONO selector switch
Use to select the auto stereo mode or monaural mode when
listening to FM broadcasts. The monaural mode has been
selected when the FM MONO indicator is lighted.
‘Auto stereo mode:
Normally leave in this mode for reception. When a stereo FM
broadcast is received, it will be automatically reproduced in
stereo sound.
Monaural mode:
When receiving distant stations or stations with weak broad-
cast signals, the input signal may be weak, thus resulting in
increased noise during FM stereo broadcasts. In this event,
setting the receiver to the monaural mode will reduce the
noise. In this case, however, FM stereo broadcasts will be
reproduced in monaural sound.
NOTE:
This switch has no effect on reception of AM broadcasts.
@ TUNING AUTO/MANUAL switch
Works during FM reception.
Use this switch to select either the AUTO mode or the
MANUAL mode.
When the “AUTO” indicator is lit, the receiver is in the AUTO
mode. (See page 9}
@) MEMORY switch
This is used to memorize stations. When the switch is
pressed, the frequency indicator will flash. To memorize the
frequency of any station, press the STATION CALL switch
while the frequency indicator is flashing. (See page 10.)
STATION CALL switches
These switches are used to preset and recall desired broad-
casting stations.

GRAPHIC EQUALIZER CONTROLS
The advantage of the GRAPHIC EQUALIZER over conven-
tional tone controis is that with the five controls of the
GRAPHIC EQUALIZER it is possible to control five different
narrow, distinct sections of the audio band. With conventional
tone controis a setting for a bass or treble boost or cut will also
affect the lower or upper mid frequencies. The frequency
bands controlled by the five slide controls have been chosen
to yield the maximum possible control action within the audio
spectrum.
100 Hz: The 100 Hz control is very useful in enhancing low
bass notes as in organ music.
330 Hz; The 330 Hz controi will allow you to vary the upper
bass frequencies.
1kHz: The 1 kHz control is the presence control and can
be used very effectively to emphasize, or de-
emphasize vocalists.
3.3 KHz: The 3.3 kHz control will add brilliance and clarity to
brass instruments and violins.
10 kHz: The 10 kHz control can be used to make up for
missing high frequencies absorbed by the environ-
ment and to add a natural crispness to music.

LISTENING TO THE BROADCAST
¢ Check that ail terminals are properly connected before
switching on the unit.
AUTO TUNING (FM reception)
The electronic tuning circuit inside the unit will search for the
station.
1 Turn on the POWER switch of the unit.
2 Press the TUNER switch of the function switches.
3 Set the band selector switches for FM reception.
4 Press the TUNING MANUAL/AUTO switch to
establish the AUTO tuning mode {the AUTO
indicator lights).
5 Press the TUNING switches *‘UP (+)’’ or “DOWN

The frequency will change rapidly during scanning. The
AUTO TUNING wiil stop automatically when the station is
located and the TUNED indicator will light up.
NOTE:
When the AUTO TUNING is in use, reception may not be possi-
ble over fong distances or when signals are weak. At these times
manual tuning is recommended.
6 Adjust the volume with the VOLUME con-
trol and the tone with the GRAPHIC
EQUALIZER controls.
MANUAL TUNING (FM/AM reception)
1 Turn on the POWER switch of the unit.
2 Press the TUNER switch of the function switches.
3 Select your desired broadcasting band using the
band selector switches.
4 Press the TUNING MANUAL/AUTO switch to
establish the MANUAL tuning mode (the AUTO
indicator goes off).
5 Use the TUNING switches to locate the frequency
of the desired station.
For step-by-step searching, press the TUNING switch once
and release it immediately. For continuous rapid scanning
keep the TUNING switch pressed. The TUNED indicator
will light up when the desired station is tuned in best.
