Additional information

Changing the TV format setting

If the System Setup menu is not displayed correctly, it may be that the TV system is set incorrectly for your country or region.

With the receiver in standby, press STANDBY/ON while holding down the SIGNAL SELECT button.

The display shows the new setting (PAL or NTSC).

Power cord caution

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 an 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 service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Cleaning the unit

Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

When the surface is dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleansers.

Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surface.
