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 finished reading the

instructions, put them away in a safe place for future reference.

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC 
outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed 
and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and 
mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of 
this unit should be performed only by qualified 
service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the 
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make 
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.
The equipment should be disconnected by removing 
the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused 
for a long period of time (for example, when on 
vacation).

The 



 

switch on this unit will not completely shut off 

all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord 
serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, 
you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut 
down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has 
been installed so that the power cord can be easily 
unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. 
To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be 
unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a 
long period of time (for example, when on vacation).
