Notes on Copyrights

• Because AACS (Advanced Access Content System) is approved as content protection system for Blu-ray Disc format, similar to use of CSS (Content Scramble System) for DVD format, certain restrictions are imposed on playback, analog signal output, etc., of AACS protected contents. The operation of this product and restrictions on this product may vary depending on your time of purchase as those restrictions may be adopted and/ or changed by AACS after the production of this product.

• Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are additionally used as content protection systems for Blu-ray Disc format, which imposes certain restrictions including playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark, BD+, or this product, please contact an authorized Customer Service Center.

• Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected discs.

• This item incorporates copy protection technology that is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights of Rovi Corporation. Reverse engineering and disassembly are prohibited.

• Under the U.S. Copyright laws and Copyright laws of other countries, unauthorized recording, use, display, distribution, or revision of television programs, videotapes, BD-ROM discs, DVDs, CDs and other materials may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability.

Important Notice for TV colour system

The colour system of this player differs according to currently playing discs.

For example, when the player plays the disc recorded in the NTSC colour system, the image is output as an NTSC signal.

Only the multi system colour TV can receive all signals output from the player.

• If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will see just distorted images when using discs or video contents recorded in NTSC.

• The multi system colour TV changes the colour system automatically according to input signals. In case that the colour system is not changed automatically, turn it off and then on to see normal images on screen.

• Even if the disc recorded in NTSC colour system are well displayed on your TV, these may not be recorded correctly on your recorder.

Speaker setup for BCS-727

Connecting

Preparing the speakers

1. Connect the wires to the player.

Insert the cables connected to the player to the same colored connector on the speaker.

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.

• Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied to this system.

• Do not connect the supplied speakers to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in malfunction or fire.

2. Attach the non-skid pads to the base of

each speaker.

3. Mount the front/surround speaker. Insert the lower cabinet to the base so that

the cable hole is positioned at the backside.

Fix the base to the lower cabinet from the

underside, using the four screws (M4 x 16).

Insert the upper cabinet to the lower

cabinet.

Non-skid pads

Fix the upper cabinet and the lower cabinet

from the backside of the speaker using the two screws (M4 x 12).

Caution

• Be careful not to tighten screws excessively. If excessive force is used to tighten screws, the threads of screw and/or nut may be damaged. Use a middle-sized manual screwdriver during assembly. Do not use power screwdrivers or oversized screwdrivers that may exert excessive force on the screws and nuts. Confirm that no foreign matter is stuck to the base or the lower cabinet during assembly. If the unit is assembled with foreign matter stuck between the base and lower cabinet, the unit may not be assembled securely, resulting in tipping or falling.

• Do not stand on the speaker stand base of the tall speaker to push or swing the speaker. The speaker may fall and break, or someone may be injured. Pay special attention to children.

Wall mounting the speaker for BCS-727

The center speaker have a mounting hole which can be used to mount the speaker on the wall.

Before mounting

Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.

Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws suitable for the wall material and support the weight of the speaker.

Caution

• If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the wall, consult a professional for advice.

• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

may occur if the speaker is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this case happens, turn the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min. to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the subwoofer.

Do not attach the front/surround speakers and subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

Positioning the system for BCS-727

The following illustration shows an example of positioning the system. Note that the illustrations in these instructions differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes. For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be placed at the same distance from the listening position (

Front left speaker (L)/ Front right speaker (R):

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor or screen and as flush with the screen surface as possible.

Center speaker:

Place the center speaker below or in front of the monitor or screen.

Surround left speaker (L)/ Surround right speaker (R):

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards.

Subwoofer:

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of the room to reduce the wall reflections.

Caution

• Be careful to make sure children do not put their hands or any objects into the *subwoofer duct. *subwoofer duct: A hole for plentiful bass sound on subwoofer cabinet (enclosure).

• Place the centre speaker at a safe distance from the child’s reach. Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling down and causing personal injury and/or property damage.

• The speakers contain magnet parts, so color irregularity may occur on the TV screen (CRT) or PC monitor screen. Please use the speakers away from the TV screen (CRT) or PC monitor screen.

Install the front speaker below the TV, in the center position.

Precautions:

Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

The front speaker and subwoofer are not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the front speaker and subwoofer.
