triangle, is intended to alert the user of the presence of
uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electric shock to persons,
CAUTION

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ INSTRUCTIONS All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated,
RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS The operating instrucions
should be retained for future reference.
HEED WARNING All warnings on the appliance and in
the operating instructions should be adhered to.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use in-
structions should be followed.
WATER AND MOISTURE The appliance should not
be used near water for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base-
ment, or near a swimming pool, etc.
LOCATION The appliance should be installed in a
stable location.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING - The appliance
should not be mounted to a wall or ceiling.
VENTILATION *'The appliance should be situated so
that its location or position does not interfere with
its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance
should nCt be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar
surface that may block the ventilation openings; or,
placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase
or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through
the ventilation openings.
HEAT The appliance should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
POWER SOURCES - The appliance should be con-
nected to a power supply only of the type de-
scribed in the operating instructions or as marked
on the appliance.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION Power-supply cords
should be routed so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
POLARIZATION - If your purchased product is pro-
vided with a polarized power plug, please read the
following instructions. This product is equipped
with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This plug
will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to
replace your obsolete outlet. DO not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
CLEANING The appliance should be cleaned only
with a polishing cloth or a soft dry cloth. Never
clean with furniture wax, benzine, insecticides or
other volatile liquids since they may corrode the
cabinet.
POWER LINES An outdoor antenna should be located
away from power lines.
NONUSE PERIODS The power cord of the appliance
should be unplugged from the outlet when left un-
used for a long period of time.
OB3ECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are riot spilled
into the enclosure through openings,
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - The appliance
should be serviced by a Pioneer authorized service
center or qualified service personnel when:
• The power-supply cord or the plug has been dam-
aged; or
• Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into
the appliance; or
• The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
• The appliance does not appear to operate normally
or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
• The appliance has been dropped; on the enclosure
damaged.
SERVICING The user should not attempt to service
the appliance beyond that described in the opera-
ting instructions. For all other servicing, contact the
nearest Pioneer authorized service center.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING If an outside an-
tenna is connected to the antenna terminal, be sure
the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built
up static charges.
In the U.S.A, section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides informa-
tion with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in
wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and require-
ments for the grounding electrode. See Fig. A.
CART - An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.

CHANNEL STEP SWITCH
(Multi-voltage model only)
The unit has been factory preset to the channel allocation and
deemphasis value for the area in which it is to be sold. If these
values are set incorrectly, the frequency display may stop at the
wrong frequency, or sound may be distorted, resulting in an inabil-
ity to reproduce reception signals at their proper sound quality.
For this reason, be sure to confirm that the values are set correct-
ly before first using the unit.
[100 kHz/10 kHz] position:
Set to this position for areas with an FM reception step of 100
kHz, AM 10 kHz.
[50 kHz/9 kHz] position:
Set to this position, for areas with an FM reception step of 50
kHz, AM 9 kHz.
NOTE:
When unsure about the channel a//ocation and de-emphasis
va/ues for your area, consult your dea/er for correct information.
