Connecting an iPod
This receiver has a dedicated iPod terminal that will allow you
to control playback of audio content from your iPod using the
controls of this receiver.
Switch the receiver into standby, and then use the USB
cable (for iPod connection) to connect your iPod to the iPod
iPhone USB terminal on the front panel of this receiver.
•
The USB cable (for iPod connection) is not included with
this receiver. For the cable connection, refer to also the
operating instructions for iPod.
•
For instructions on playing the iPod, see Playing an iPod on
page 22.
•
When the ARC function is ON and the receiver is
connected to a compatible TV with an HDMI cable, and you
switch the input of the TV when the receiver’s selection is
iPod/USB input, the receiver may automatically switch to
TV. If this happens, switch the receiver's input back to the
original input, or turn OFF the ARC function (see The HDMI
Setup menu on page 33).

Plugging in the receiver
Only plug in after you have connected all your components to
this receiver, including the speakers.
Plug the AC power cord into a convenient AC power
outlet.
CAUTION
•
Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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, or other object on the power cord or pinch the
cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie
it with other cables. The power cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power
cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask
your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service
company for a replacement.
•
The receiver should be disconnected by removing the
mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular use,
e.g., when on vacation.
Note
•
After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second
to 10 second HDMI initialization process begins. You
cannot carry out any operations during this process. The
HDMI indicator in the front panel display blinks during this
process, and you can turn on this receiver once it has
stopped blinking. When you set ARC at HDMI setup to OFF,
you can skip this process. For details, see The HDMI Setup
menu on page 33.
