If you are experiencing problems with the wireless speaker system, make sure to bring both the transmitter and the wireless speaker in for repair so that they can be tested properly. Symptom Cause & Remedy Audio is interrupted. Audio is suddenly interrupted. Audio cannot be received.

This system uses high frequency radio waves that have properties similar to light, such as linearity, reection, 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.

The system may be close to a location generating electrical noise. If this is the case, nd a location that does not affect the sound adversely.

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 reecting objects. Try changing the location of the wireless speaker a little.

The transmitter and wireless speaker 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 wireless speaker. Horizontal stripe noise interference on a TV set near the transmitter.

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. No sound from the wireless speaker.

It is likely that the system is malfunctioning. Ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work. Caution Static electricity or other external inuences 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. If this does not correct the problem, please consult your nearest Pioneer service center. Taking care of the unit Cleaning the units exterior

Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth.

Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since they will corrode the surfaces.

If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth.

Unplug the unit when cleaning. Problems with condensation Condensation may form inside the unit if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation wont damage the unit, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on and using. 22 En Hints on installation We want you to enjoy using this unit for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:

Do...

Use in a well-ventilated room.

Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.

Be sure to switch the wireless speaker off when not in use. Dont...

Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.

Place on a window sill or other place where the unit will be exposed to direct sunlight.

Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.

Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.

Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interferenceespecially if the television uses an indoor antenna.

Use in a kitchen or other room where the unit may be exposed to smoke or steam. En_XW-HT1.book 23 Additional information

Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloththis may prevent proper cooling of the unit.

Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the units feet. Moving the wireless speaker If you need to move the wireless speaker, first press on the top panel to turn the unit off. Unplug the power cord. POWER AC adapter and power cord caution

Do not leave the power cord near heating equipment. The coating of the cord may melt, which could lead to fire and/or electrocution.

Make sure to grasp the body of the AC adapter when removing it from the power outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may become damaged which could lead to fire and/or electrocution.

Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC adapter with wet hands. This may result in electrocution.

Insert the prongs of the AC adapter all the way into the power outlet. If the connection is incomplete, heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Furthermore, contact with the connected prongs of the adapter may result in electrocution.

Do not insert the AC adapter into a power outlet where the connection remains loose despite inserting the prongs all the way into the outlet. Heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Consult with the retailer or an electrician regarding replacement of the power outlet. Radio wave reflections The radio waves received by the wireless speaker include the radio wave coming directly from the transmitter (direct wave) and waves coming from various directions due to reflections by walls, furniture and building

(reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to obstacles and reflecting objects) further produce a variety of reflected waves as well as variation in reception condition depending on locations. If the audio cannot be received properly due to this phenomenon, try moving the location of the wireless speaker a little. Also note that audio may be interrupted due to the reflected waves when a person crosses or approaches the space between the transmitter and wireless speaker. Radio wave caution This wireless speaker system uses a 2.4GHz radio wave frequency, which is a band used by other wireless systems (see list below). To prevent noise or interrupted communication, do not use this system nearby such devices, or make sure these devices are switched off during use. You can also try switching the channel on the transmitter (see Transmitter on page 9) for better reception.

If the transmitter is used near A/V equipment with an antenna input terminal, such as a TV, VCR, BS tuner or CS tuner, you may experience noise interference on a TV near the transmitter. In such cases, place the transmitter at a larger distance from the antenna input terminal of the A/V equipment.

If there is something obstructing the path between the transmitter and the wireless speaker (such as a metal door, concrete wall, or insulation containing tinfoil), you may need to change the location of your system to prevent signal noise and interruptions. Scope of operation Use of this equipment is limited to home use.

(Transmission distances may be reduced depending on communication environment). In the following locations, poor condition or inability to receive radio waves may cause the audio to be interrupted or stopped:

In reinforced concrete buildings or steel-

framed or iron-framed buildings.

Near large metallic furniture.

In a crowd of people or near a building or obstacle.

In a location exposed to the magnetic field, static electricity or radio wave interference from 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.

If you live in a heavily populated residential area (apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if your neighbors microwave is placed near your system, you may experience radio wave interference or no sound from the speaker. If this occurs, move your unit to a different place. When the microwave is not in use, there will be no radio wave interference. 24 En Specifications General Digital Wireless Speaker System
