your room, and when using this system:1

EV5DVD model only – Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV, then connect them as shown below. See Optional surround speaker connections on page 10 to connect surround speakers.

EV7DVD/EV9DVD model only – A color-coded system is provided for speaker connections (see Multichannel speaker connections below). See Home theater sound setup on page 21 for surround placement options.

Caution

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.

1Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.

2Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the unit.

Make sure to insert the red/colored wire into the red/colored (+) tab and the black/white wire into the black (–) tab.

Hints on speaker placement

The following guidelines will help you to get the best performance from your speaker system. See Home theater sound setup on page 21 for surround placement options with this system.

Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.

Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

If possible, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level.

Purple White

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.

If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

This will enable you to hear the TV (or VCR) sound through this system. See Connecting auxiliary components below for more on this.

Connecting using the component video output

If your TV has component video inputs, you can use these instead of the standard video output

to connect this system to your TV.2 This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of video output available.

 

 

Note

1

 

The signal ground ( ) is designed to reduce noise that occurs when an antenna is connected. It is not an electrical safety

ground.

2

The component video output is switchable between interlaced and progressive formats. See Video Output settings on page 44.

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.

Compatibility of this player with progressive-scan and high-definition TVs.

This player is compatible with progressive video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.1

Connecting the power

After making sure that everything is connected properly, plug in the power cord to the AC inlet, and the other end to a mains power outlet.

AC IN

Congratulations! You’re done setting up.

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 auxiliary components

This system has stereo analog inputs which you can use to connect external components, such as a VCR, MD player, or your TV.

• Connect the LINE IN jacks on the rear panel to an auxiliary playback component.

Connect using RCA pin-plug stereo cables.

Note

1 Consumers should note that not all high-definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output (Interlace). If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model, please contact our customer service center.
