VENTILATION CAUTION
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 10 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 10 cm at each side).
WARNING
To prevent a fire hazard, do not place any naked flame sources (such as a lighted candle) on the equipment.
WARNING
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet or a bed.
CAUTION
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).
CAUTION
These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.
Operating Environment
Operating environment temperature and humidity: +5 ºC – +35 ºC (+41 ºF – +95 ºF); less than 65 %RH (cooling vents not blocked)
Do not install this unit in a poorly ventilated area, or in locations exposed to high humidity or direct sunlight (or strong artificial light)
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. 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, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Connecting up
Important
•Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.
•When making cable connections, make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit. This may cause a humming noise from the speakers.
Connecting the speaker terminals
Place the front left and right speakers at equal
distances from the TV1, then connect the wires from the speakers to the terminals on the main unit rear panel as shown below. See Optional surround speaker connections on page 6 to connect surround speakers.
1Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.
2Connect to the FRONT speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.
Make sure to insert the red wire into the red (+) tab and the black wire into the black (–) tab.
ª ·
Caution
Optional surround speaker connections
•Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in a malfunction or fire.
•Make sure that the bare speaker wires cannot touch each other, or come into contact with other metal parts once the unit is switched on.
•Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.
Using RCA speaker cables, you can connect surround speakers to the left and right SURROUND speaker jacks on the rear panel for multichannel sound from this system.
For the best surround effect, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level and at the same distance from the listening position as the front speakers.
Important
•Use speakers with a nominal impedance of at least 16Ω.
Note
1 The speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 15–30 minutes.

About progressive scan video
Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flickerfree image. Progressive scan video is available only from the component video output.
Important
• If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the system to progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, press STANDBY/ON to put the system in standby, select the interlace setting in the System Setup menu options in standby on page 33, then press ENTER.
2 Optionally: Use a stereo audio cable to connect the audio outs of your TV (or VCR) to the LINE IN jacks on the rear of this unit.
This will enable you to hear the TV (or VCR) sound through this system. See Connecting auxiliary components below for more on this.
Note
1 The component video output is switchable between interlaced and progressive formats. See Video Output settings on page 29.
