En

Be careful not to arrange cables in a manner that bends
the cables over the top of this unit. If the cables are laid
on top of the unit, the magnetic field produced by the
transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise to
come from the speakers.

Cassette deck placement
Depending on where the cassette deck is placed, noise
may occur during playback of your cassette deck which
is caused by leakage flux from the transformer in the
receiver. If you experience noise, move the cassette deck
farther away from the receiver.

When storing optical cable, coil loosely as shown below.
The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.

• When installing this unit, make sure to put it on a

secure and level plane that is stable.

• Don’t place it on the following places:
– on a color TV (the screen may distort)
– near a cassette deck (or close to a device that gives off a
   magnetic field) This may interfere with the sound.
– in direct sunlight
– in damp or wet areas
– in extremely hot or cold areas
– in places where there is a vibration or other movement
– in places that are very dusty
– in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as a kitchen)

• When installing this unit, make sure to leave space

around the unit for ventilation to improve heat
dispersal (at least 20 cm at the top, 50 cm at the rear,
and 10 cm at each side). If not enough space is
provided between the unit and walls or other
equipment, heat will build up inside, interfering with
performance and/or causing malfunctions. See below
for exceptions to this.

• If using a rack to hold the receiver make sure the

back of the rack and the left side are open.

• Also, if you’re using a case with glass doors, leave the

glass doors open when using the receiver.

• Do not place on a thick carpet, bed, sofa or fabric

having a thick pile. Do not cover the receiver with
fabric or other covering. Anything that blocks
ventilation will cause the internal temperature to rise,
which may lead to breakdown or fire hazard.

• Don’t place anything on top of the receiver except for

a Pioneer DV-454, 350, 444 or 545 DVD player. If
you do place one of these pieces of equipment on top
of the receiver be sure to leave the ventilation space
over it as prescribed above.

• The receiver may become hot while in use, please

take care around it.
