If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. If 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 Audio is interrupted. Audio is suddenly interrupted. Audio cannot be received. Horizontal stripe noise interference on a TV set near the transmitter. Cause & Remedy
This system uses high frequency radio waves that have properties similar to light, such as linearity, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference. Therefore, placement of the system can result in weak radio waves and/or interruption.
The distance between the transmitter and wireless speaker may be too large. Use the wireless speaker within the reach of radio wave from the transmitter.
Is the system being used in a location with favorable condition for electrical noise generation?
There may be radio communication equipment using the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this system, such as a Bluetooth device, radio LAN device or microwave oven, operating nearby.
The radio wave reception is variable depending on locations due to the effects of obstacles and reflecting objects. Try changing the location of the receiver a little.
The transmitter and receiver are designed and sold as a pair, and they identify each other in communication. This means that communication is not available between separately purchased transmitter and receiver.
Is there a piece of A/V equipment with an antenna near the transmitter? If so, move the transmitter away from the antenna input terminal of the AV equipment. Power shuts off when the switch is on or the system is in operation.
The system is malfunctioning. Please contact the nearest PIONEER authorized service center. Caution Static electricity or other external influence may cause malfunctioning of this unit. In this case, unplugging the power cord and then re-plugging it in will usually reset the unit for proper operation.
