Connecting an iPod

This receiver has a dedicated iPod terminal that will allow you
to control playback of audio content from your iPod using the
controls of this receiver.
Switch the receiver into standby, and then use the USB
cable (for iPod connection) to connect your iPod to the iPod
iPhone USB terminal on the front panel of this receiver.
The USB cable (for iPod connection) is not included with
this receiver. For the cable connection, refer to also the
operating instructions for iPod.
For instructions on playing the iPod, see Playing an iPod on
page 22.
When the ARC function is ON and the receiver is
connected to a compatible TV with an HDMI cable, and you
switch the input of the TV when the receiver’s selection is
iPod/USB input, the receiver may automatically switch to
TV. If this happens, switch the receiver's input back to the
original input, or turn OFF the ARC function (see The HDMI
Setup menu on page 33).

Connecting a USB device

It is possible to listen to two-channel audio using the USB
interface on the front of this receiver.
Switch the receiver into standby then connect your USB
device to the USB terminal on the front panel of this
receiver.
This receiver does not support a USB hub.
For instructions on playing the USB device, see Playing a
USB device on page 23.

Plugging in the receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your components to
this receiver, including the speakers.
Plug the AC power cord into a convenient AC power
outlet.
CAUTION
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.
The receiver should be disconnected by removing the
mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular use,
e.g., when on vacation.
Note
After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second
to 10 second HDMI initialization process begins. You
cannot carry out any operations during this process. The
HDMI indicator in the front panel display blinks during this
process, and you can turn on this receiver once it has
stopped blinking. When you set ARC at HDMI setup to OFF,
you can skip this process. For details, see The HDMI Setup
menu on page 33.

To resolve the problem of no sound coming out from the speakers when using a wireless mic with the Pioneer VSX-522 receiver, you can try the following steps: 1. Check the connections: Make sure the wireless mic is properly connected to the receiver. Ensure that the cables are securely plugged in and there are no loose connections. 2. Verify the input settings: Confirm that the input source on the receiver is set to "sat/cable A" or "01" for the wireless mic. Use the input selector on the receiver or remote control to switch to the correct input. 3. Check the volume levels: Ensure that the volume level for the wireless mic input is not set to zero or muted. Use the volume control on the receiver or remote control to increase the volume. 4. Test with another audio source: Connect a different audio source, like a DVD player or smartphone, to the receiver and check if there is sound output. This will help determine if the issue is specific to the wireless mic or a general audio problem. 5. Reset the receiver: If the above steps do not solve the issue, try resetting the receiver.
