1. SAFETY INFORMATION
This service manual is intended for qualified service technicians; it is not meant for the casual do-it-yourselfer. Qualified technicians have the necessary test equipment and tools, and have been trained to properly and safely repair complex products such as those covered by this manual. Improperly performed repairs can adversely affect the safety and reliability of the product and may void the warranty. If you are not qualified to perform the repair of this product properly and safely, you should not risk trying to do so and refer the repair to a qualified service technician.
WARNING This product contains lead in solder and certain electrical parts contain chemicals which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Health & Safety Cod e Section 25249.6 Proposition 65
NOTICE (FOR CANADIAN MODEL ONLY) Fuse symbols (fast operating fuse) and/or (slow operating fuse) on PCB indicate that replacement parts must be of identical designation. REMARQUE (POUR MODLE CANADIEN SEULEMENT) Les symboles de fusible (fusible de type rapide) et/ou (fusible de type lent) sur CCI indiquent que les pices de remplacement doivent avoir la mme dsignation.
(FOR USA MODEL ONLY) 1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The following check should be performed for the continued protection of the customer and service technician.

LEAKAGE CURRENT CHECK

Measure leakage current to a known earth ground (water pipe, conduit, etc.) by connecting a leakage current tester such as Simpson Model 229-2 or equivalent between the earth ground and all exposed metal parts of the appliance (input/output terminals, screwheads, metal overlays, control shaft, etc.). Plug the AC line cord of the appliance directly into a 120V AC 60 Hz outlet and turn the AC power switch on. Any current measured must not exceed 0.5 mA.
ANY MEASUREMENTS NOT WITHIN THE LIMITS OUTLINED ABOVE ARE INDICATIVE OF A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE RETURNING THE APPLIANCE TO THE CUSTOMER.

2. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in the appliance have special safety related characteristics. These are often not evident from visual inspection nor the protection afforded by them necessarily can be obtained by using replacement components rated for voltage, wattage , etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in this Service Manual. Electrical components having such features are identified by marking with a on the schematics and on the parts list in this Service Manual. The use of a substitute replacement component which does not have the same safety characteristics as the PIONEER recommended replacement one, shown in the parts list in this Service Manual, may create shock, fire, or other hazards. Product Safety is continuously under review and new instructions are issued from time to time. For the latest information, always consult the current PIONEER Service Manual. A subscription to, or additional copies of, PIONEER Service Manual may be obtained at a nominal charge from PIONEER.

Additional Laser Caution

Laser pick-up assembly The output power at the objective lens of this assembly is 0.73 mW. Control method of the current through a laser diode. The resistor R105 on the CORD MAIN UNIT ASSY (For MD mechanism assembly) are for the limiting of current through a laser diode. Control method of the laser output power The laser pick-up assembly provide the photo-diodes and APC (Auto Power Control) circuit. The photo-diode detect output of the laser diode then IC104 control the APC circuit according to the signal voltage of the photo-diode via IC101. The Variable resistancer on the FPC in the Laser pick-up assembly can be adjusted the output level of Laser diode to fix the rated output level. Laser Interlock Switch The loading position detect switch S101 is set to LOAD ON (ON: low level, OFF: high level) position, IC104 get the LOAD signal, and hand the laser LDON signal to No. 9 terminal (LDON) of the Laser pick-up assembly. Then a laser diode can be lighted exept when the level of signal LOAD is low.

These are 8 bit I/O ports with the same functions as P0. By software selection, it functions as the input terminals for the timers B0 to B2, the output terminals for the D/A converter, the expansion input terminals of the A/D converter, or the A/D trigger input terminals. This is the terminal for switching the external data bus width. When the level of this terminal is "L", the width is 16 bits, and when it is "H", the width is 8 bits. Please fix it to one of these levels. At the time of single-chip mode, connect it to the Vss terminal. This is the terminal for processor mode switching. At the time of single-chip mode or at the time of memory expansion mode, connect it to the Vss terminal. At the time of microprocessor mode, connect it to the Vcc terminal. P80 to P84, P86, and P87 are I/O ports with the same functions as P0. By software selection, they function as the I/O terminals for the timer A4 or the input terminals for external interrupt. P86 and P87 function by software selection as the I/O terminals for the subclock oscillation circuit. In this case, connect a crystal oscillator between P86 (XCOUT terminal) and P87 (XCIN terminal). P85 is an input-only port serving also as NMI. When the input of this terminal changes from "H" to "L", and NMI interrupt is generated. The NMI function can not be cancelled by software. A pullup resistance can not be set for this terminal. When the input to this terminal is "L", the microcomputer is reset. This are the I/O terminals of the main clock oscillation circuit. Connect a ceramic oscillator or a crystal oscillator between the terminals XIN and XOUT. In case of an externally generated clock, enter the clock from the XIN terminal and leave the XOUT terminal open. Impress 0 V. Impress 2.7 V to 5.5 V. These are 8 bit I/O ports with the same functions as P0. By software selection, they function as the I/O terminals for the timers A0 to A3. These are 8 bit I/O ports with the same functions as P0. By software selection, they function as the I/O terminals for the UART0 and UART1. These are 8 bit I/O ports with the same functions as P0. By software selection, they put out a clock with 1/8 or 1/32 of XIN or with the same cycle as XCIN from P57. WRL, WRH, (WR, BHE), RD, BCLK, HLDA, and ALE signals are put out. Switching between WRL and WRH and between BHE and WR is possible by software. At the time of WRL, WRH, RD selection When the external data bus width is 16 bits and the WRL signal is at "L" level, writing is done to an even address, and the WRH signal is at "L" level, writing is done to an odd address. Reading is performed when the RD signal is at "L" level. At the time of WR, BHE, RD selection Writing is done when the WR signal is at "L" level. Reading is done when the RD signal is at "L" level. An odd address is accessed when the BHE signal is at "L" level. Please use this mode when the external data bus width is 8 bits. The microcomputer is in hold status while the input level to the HOLD terminal is "L". During hold status, the output from HLDA is at "L" level. ALE is the signal for address latching. The microcomputer is in ready status while the input to RDY is at "L" level. A clock with the same frequency as the internal clock is put out from the BCLK terminal. These are 8 bit I/O ports with the same functions as P0. The A16 to A19 and CS0 to CS3 signals are put out. A16 to A19 are the upper 4 bits of the address. CS0 to CS3 are the chip select signals, and they are used for specification of the access space.

Listening Position
Install the left and right front speakers at equal distances from the TV. When installing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference such as distortion in the color of the TV screen. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV screen, place the speakers farther away from the TV. Install the center speaker above, below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
CAUTION: When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker. If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level. It may be difficult to obtain a cohesive surround effect if the surround speakers are installed farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers.

We Want You

LISTENING For A Lifetime

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 Associations Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection. Decibel Level Example 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.
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations 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. 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. 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.
