POWER-CORD CAUTION  
WARNING  
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 cause 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 a 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

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands  
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a  
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through  
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most  
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing  
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so  
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and  
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting  
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing  
adapts.  
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).  
D3-4-2-2-1a_A1_En  
Set your volume control at a low setting.  
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it  
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound  
level, set the dial and leave it there.  
CAUTION  
The ON/OFF 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  
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING  
GUIDELINES:  
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t  
hear what’s around you.  
Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in  
potentially hazardous situations.  
Do not use headphones while operating a motorized  
vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic  
on vacation).
