from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.

Remedy
• Without disconnecting the power cord, wait for one minute and then try pressing the
STANDBY/ON
button to turn power on again.
• A speaker cable may be short circuited. Remove the speaker cables, securely twist the
cores of the wires, and once again connect the wires properly to their speaker terminals.
• Overheating may have been caused by lack of sufficient air space around the unit. Install
the unit so as to allow sufficient ventilation around all sides.
• Try lowering the volume level when using the unit.
If none of these remedies works, call a Pioneer-authorized independent service company.
• Check that the disc is not damaged, and free from dust and dirt (page 36).
• Check that all interconnects are firmly inserted.
• Check that the plugs and terminals are free of dirt, oxide, etc. and clean if necessary. Also
check the cable for damage.
• Make sure the audio component's output is not connected to the receiver's phono
(turntable) inputs.
• Check receiver's settings (volume, input function, etc.).
• Make sure the component is connected correctly (refer to Connecting audio components
on page 9).
• Press MUTE on the remote control to turn muting off.
• Move the cassette deck further from your receiver, until the noise disappears.
• The remote control is too far from the receiver, or the angle with the remote sensor is too
wide: Use the remote within its operating range (page 6).
• The battery is exhausted: Replace the batteries (page 6).
Remedy
• Make sure the disc is free from dirt and dust and is not damaged (page 36).
• Check Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 7 to confirm that the disc is
compatible with this receiver.
• Make sure the disc is loaded with the label side face-up and aligned properly in the disc
tray guide.
• Condensation inside the receiver: Allow time for condensation to evaporate. Avoid using
the receiver near an air-conditioning unit.
• This is due to differences in the audio format and is not a malfunction.
• This receiver is not compatible with multichannel audio.
