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.

that it’s about ear level at your normal listening position.  
Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a table  
or a chair.  
Accurate measurements may not be possible if there are  
obstacles between the speakers and the listening position  
(microphone).

Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other  
excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a heater.  
This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch  
fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of batteries.  
If Reverse Phase is displayed, the speaker’s wiring (+ and –)  
may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.  
Even if the connections are correct, Reverse Phase may be  
displayed, depending on the speakers and the surrounding  
environment. This does not affect measurements, however,  
so select Go Next.  
If ERR is displayed, check that speaker is properly  
connected.  
E.g.) Check whether the surround speaker has been  
mistakenly connected to the surround back terminal.
