TROUBLESHOOTING
lncorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble or malfunctions. lf you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. lnvestigate the other components and electrical appliances

being used. lf the trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

Symptom No power supplied to unit

Probable Cause
o Power plug is disconnected from outlet. . The component's power plug has been plugged into another component's power outlet (e.9. timer, etc.), but the power switch to that unit is off.
Connecting cords are disconnected from terminals, or connected incorrectly. o Terminals, or connecting cords' pin plugs are dirty. r The INPUT selector or ADPT/TAPE 2 switch selected do not match the component being played back. . Operation of other components is correct.

Remedy o lnsert plug lirmly in to outlet. e Turn on power to other component.
