We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel
Level Example
30
40
50
60
70
80

Quiet library, soft whispers
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.

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 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. S002_En

This product is for general household purposes. Any
failure due to use for other than household purposes
(such as long-term use for business purposes in a
restaurant or use in a car or ship) and which
requires repair will be charged for even during the

Chapter 4:

Listening to your system
Using Direct listening
Use the Direct listening feature when you want
to hear the truest possible reproduction of a
source. All unnecessary signal processing1 is
bypassed, and you’re left with the pure sound
source.

1 Press TONE/BAL to select the option you
want, then use the L/– and R/+ buttons to
adjust as necessary.
• BASS – Adjust the amount of bass from
–10 to +10.
• TRE – Adjust the amount of treble from
–10 to +10.
• BAL – Adjust the amount of left/right
balance as you like. FLAT indicates a
centered balance.

• While listening to a source, press DIRECT
to switch Direct listening on or off.

Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the
compression process, sound quality often
suffers from an uneven sound image. The
analog Sound Retriever feature employs new
technology that helps remove the adverse
effects of compressing 2-channel audio files by
restoring bandwidth and smoothing jagged
artifacts left over after they have been
compressed, resulting in a wider sound stage.
• Press S. RETRIEVER to switch the sound
retriever on or off.
The
indicator in the front display lights to
indicate the Sound Retriever is on.

Using the balance and tone
controls

Wait about five seconds for your changes to be
input automatically. The BASS and TREBLE
indicators light in the front panel when the
corresponding tone control is active.
• To return to the flat setting (tone control
off), press L/– and R/+ at the same time.

Playing other sources
1 Turn on the power of the playback
component.
2

Turn on the power of the receiver.

3 Select the source you want to playback.
Use the input select buttons (or INPUT
SELECTOR dial).
4 Start playback of the component you
selected in step 1.

Depending on what you are listening to, you
may want to adjust the bass, treble or left/right
balance using the remote control.

Note
1 The Sound Retriever, balance and tone controls are disabled, and the front panel display switches off.
