Installing the Receiver

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)

Don’t place anything on top of the receiver except for a Pioneer DV-353/355/251/250/444/533-K/3310/ 5310KD 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.

When Making Cable

Connections

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.

Ventilation

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.

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.

Storing optical cable

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