STEREO AMPLIFIER AMPLIFICADOR ESTEREOFONICO A-209 A-109 Operating Instructions Manual de instrucciones Operating Environment H045 En Operating environment temperature and humidity: +5°C ­ +35°C (+41°F ­ +95°F); less than 85%RH (cooling vents not blocked) Do not install in the following locations ÷ Location exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial light ÷ Location exposed to high humidity, or poorly ventilated location LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCH H038 En Mains voltages in Saudi Arabia are 127 V and 220 V only. Never use this model with the 110 V setting in Saudi Arabia. H019 En The line voltage selector switch is located on the rear panel. Check that it is set properly before plugging the power cord into the outlet. If the voltage is not properly set or if you move to an area where the voltage requirements differ, adjust the selector switch as follows: ¶ Be sure to disconnect the power cord from its outlet before making this adjustment. ¶ Use a medium-sized (flat blade) screwdriver. Insert the tip of the screwdriver into the groove of the selector switch and turn it so that the power voltage marking of your area points to the arrow. 220V 110V 240V 120-127V CAUTION 220 V Power source voltage is factory adjusted 220 volts. If your area is different, change voltage selectors settings. H038 En 2 Thank you for buying this PIONEER product. Please read through these operating instructions so you will know how to operate your model properly. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future reference.

Together with Pioneer's original Wide Range Linear Circuit technology they reduce power consumption while maintaining the power output of current models. In terms of performance, this technology contributes to flat damping factor characteristics across the audio spectrum. It also allows a wide range and especially ultra high frequencies to be reproduced more accurately and improves power linearity. 7 Low power consumption design. 7 High-power Output: A-209 ..................................... 60W+60W/4(DIN) 45W+45W/8(DIN) A-109 ..................................... 40W+40W/8(DIN) 7 Wide-Range Linear Circuit This new current feedback circuit assures improved operating stability for flat output impedance and stable driving of speakers across the full range of frequencies. 7 Stabilizer Transformer stabilizer and stabilizer frame (attached to chassis) deliver powerful sound. 7 Complementary capacitor pair. INSTALLATION LOCATION Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures or humidity. Do not install the unit in a location which is exposed to direct rays of the sun, or near hot appliances or radiators. Excessive heat can adversely affect the cabinet and internal components. Installation of the unit in a damp or dusty environment may also result in a malfunction or an accident. (Avoid installation near cookers etc., where the unit may be exposed to oily smoke, steam or heat.) Do not install the unit on a tottered stand, nor on an unstable or inclined surface. VENTILATION When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 60 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 30 cm at each side). WARNING: Slot and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, to prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked and covered with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. Also do not put the apparatus on the thick carpet, bed, sofa, or fabric having a thick pile. 3 English CONNECTIONS Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC H029BEn outlet.

Malfunctioning or breakdowns may occur when conductors come into contact with each other. Plug in the power cord first to the amplifier and then to the wall outlet after you have finished hooking up the rest of your equipment. CAUTION! · Do not use any other power cord than the one supplied with this unit. · The amplifier should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular use, e.g. when on vacation. Please use the correct cord and plug for your region. Speaker Impedance [A-209] When speaker systems are connected to only SPEAKERS A or SPEAKERS B terminals, such speakers should have rated impedance in the range of 4­16 . When speaker are connected to both A and B terminals, they should have a rated impedance in the range of 8 ­32 . For regions with two pin flat-bladed plug and 200 volts or greater power supply European two pin plug with two pin flat-bladed converter plug (for 200 volts or greater power supply) For Taiwan exclusively Taiwanese two pin flat-bladed plug Make sure the voltage selector has been switched to the 110 V position before plugging in the AC power cord. [A-109] The speaker systems used should have a rated impedance in the range of 6 - 16 . 5 English CONNECTING THE SPEAKER CORDS CONNECTING THE INPUT/OUTPUT CORDS PANEL FACILITIES [ FRONT PANEL ] 1 2 3 4 STEREO AMPLIFIER z¿
