INSTALLATION

LOCATION

Install

the

receiver

in

a

well

ventilated

location

where

it

will

not

be

exposed

to

high

temperature

or

humidity.

Do

not

install

the

receiver

in

a

location

which

is

exposed

to

direct

rays

_

of

the

sun,

or

near

to

hot

appliances

or

radiators.

Excessive

heat

can

adversely

affect

the

cabinet

and

internal

components.

Installation

of

the

receiver

in

a

damp

or

dusty

environment

may

result

in

malfunction

or

accident.

(Also

avoid

installation

near

cookers

etc.,

where

the

receiver

may

be

exposed

to

smoke

from

oil,

steam

or

heat.)

2

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

causé

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

authorized

service

center

or

your

dealer

for

a

replacement.

MAINTENANCE

OF

EXTERNAL

SURFACES

Use

a

polishing

cloth

or

dry

cloth

to

wipe

and

dirt.

*

When

the

surfaces

are

very

dirty,

wipe

with

a

soft

cloth

dipped

in

some

neutral

cleanser

diluted

five

or

six

times

with

water,

and

wrung

well,

and

then

wipe

again

with

a

dry

cloth.

Do

not

use

furniture

wax

or

cleaners.

Never

use

thinners,

benzine,

insecticide

sprays

and

other

chemicals

HINTS

FOR

BETTER

RECEPTION

OUTDOOR

FM

ANTENNA

The

main

advantage

of

FM

over

AM

is

the

quality

of

the

broadcast

signal.

In

order

to

benefit

fully

from

the

high

signal

quality

of

FM

broadcasts,

it

is

recommended

that

a

special-

purpose

FM

antenna

be

installed.

In

weak

signal

areas,

a

multi-element

antenna

should

be

used.

NOTE:

Consult

your

dealer

as

to

the

selection

and

actual

installation

of

the

FM

antenna.

FM

ANTENNA

CONNECTIONS

There

are

two

ways

of

connecting

the

FM

antenna

to

the

antenna

input

terminals:

with

a

3000

twin-lead

feeder

or

witha

75Q

coaxial

cable.

If

full

justice

is

to

be

done

to

the

tuner’s

performance,

a

759

coaxial

cable

is

recommended

since

it

is

more

immune

than

the

twin-lead

feeder

to

noise

and

interference

from

external

sources.

If

an

FM

antenna

has

already

been

erected

outdoors,

connect

it,

referring

to

the

figure.

GROUNDING

Grounding

is

recommended

if

reception

of

FM

programs

is

im-

paired

by

noise.

To

ground,

connect

a

thick

polyviny!

wire

to

the

GND

terminal

and

attach

the

other

end

to

a

metal

water

pipe

or

grounding

bar

or

wind

it

around

a

copper

plate

and

bury

it.

DANGER:

Never

connect

a

wire

to

a

gas

pipe

for

grounding

since

sparks

may

ignite

the

gas.

OUTDOOR

AM

ANTENNAS

If

it

is

not

possible

to

obtain

adequate

AM

reception

even

by

changing

the

orientation

of

the

AM

loop

antenna,

a

separate

indoor

antenna,

or

an

outdoor

antenna

should

be

iristalled.

ANTENNA

If

sufficiently

even

when

installed
