TROUBLESHOOTING Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Investigate the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Cause Remedy No auto stop. ÷ Input signals are not strong enough. ÷ (FM) If the supplied simple antenna is being used, change to an outdoor antenna. TV source cannot be seen when the VCR’s TV tuner is used. ÷ TV antenna is not connected to the VCR, or connections are faulty. ÷ The VCR’s input switch is set to line input. ÷ Consult the VCR’s operating instructions, and connect the antenna correctly. ÷ Set the VCR’s input switch to built-in tuner. No rear sound is produced.
APPENDIX A: SPECIFICATIONS Amplifier Section <2-channel mode> Continuous average power output of 130 watts* per channel, min., at 8 ohms, from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz with no more than 0.05 %** total harmonic distortion. <5-channel mode> Continuous average power output of 100 watts* per channel, min., at 8 ohms, from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz with no more than 0.8 %** total harmonic distortion. * Measured pursuant to the Federal Trade Commission’s Trade Regulation rule on Power Output Claims for Amplifiers.
APPENDIX B: SURROUND EFFECT This unit has a built-in surround processor for adding presence and an expansive effect to the sound. 5 Mode Selection with DSP (Digital Signal Processor): JAZZ: This gives you the sound field of a jazz club. DANCE: A “hot” high-energy sound, with extra reverb for greater ambience. SIMULATED SURROUND: The “SIMULATED SURROUND” creates the effects of reverberated and reflected sound from the walls and ceiling similar to a concert hall.
APPENDIX C: DOLBY AC-3 SURROUND Dolby Laboratories spearheaded home theater with the introduction of Dolby Surround, and then defined it with the follow-up format Dolby Pro-Logic Surround. They have continued the evolution of home theater with the introduction of Dolby AC-3 Pro-Logic, a MultiChannel Digital delivery system. Just as Dolby Surround found it’s beginnings in the cinema, so does AC-3.
APPENDIX C: DOLBY AC-3 SURROUND THE LASER DISC FORMAT The one major concern when the idea of incluiding another form of audio on a laser disc was .... Backwards Compatibility. It would not do the laser disc format any justice, especially in a time of growing acceptability, to change the audio system without considering those consumers that had already purchased a laser disc player. Thus to maintain backward compatibility, the AC-3 encoding was deemed to be stored in one of the existing analog tracks.
