Before you start

Checking what’s in the box

Please check that you've received the following supplied accessories:

• Remote control

• Dry cell batteries (AA/R6) x2

• Video cord

• AM loop antenna

• FM antenna

• Power cord: Central and South American, Taiwan,

Philippines models x2 All other models x1

• Speaker cords x1 (S-EV9V only)

• Speaker stands x2 (S-EV7V only)

• Non-skid pads x12 (S-EV7V only) / x4 (SEV9V only)

• Power plug adapter (Central and South American, US Military and Duty Free models only)

• Warranty Card (US Military and Duty Free models only)

• These operating instructions

Loading the batteries

Use AA/R6 batteries with the supplied remote control. Make sure to follow the indications (



) inside the compartment.



Important

Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions:

• Never use new and old batteries together.

• Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries properly according to the marks in the battery case.

• Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages. Do not use different batteries together.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public instruction’s rules that apply in your country or area.

• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of batteries.

Range of the remote control unit

The remote control has a range of about 7 meters (23 ft). It may not work properly if:

• There are obstacles between the remote control and this unit’s remote sensor.

• Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is

shining onto the remote sensor.

• This system is located near a device that is emitting infrared rays.

• This unit is operated simultaneously with another infrared remote control unit.

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

Connect the wires from the speakers to the terminals on the main unit rear panel as shown below. Before connecting, you may want to consider the placement options available in

your room, and when using this system:

•

system is provided for speaker connections (see

Multichannel speaker connections

below). See 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.

Note

1 The speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded (except for the surround speakers, which should not be placed near a TV or monitor). 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 to 30 minutes.

Hints on speaker placement

The following guidelines will help you to get the best performance from your speaker system.

Home theater sound setup

See 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.

on page 21 for

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.

Connecting up02

• Try not to place the surround speakers further away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

• Make sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

• Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

Attaching the surround speakers to the speaker stands

EV7DVD model only

If you have set up your system using the Front surround 3-spot setup (as explained in

theater sound setup

on page 21), it is necessary to use the speaker stands provided. Using the speaker stands for the Standard surround 5spot setup is optional. Attach each speaker as shown in the steps below.

1 Line up the spurs on the speaker stand with the holes on the back of the surround speaker and press into place.

2 With the spurs fixed in place, pull the speaker downward to secure it on the stand.

Home

Important

• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of

Ω

at least 16

• Make sure you connect both surround speakers or you won’t be able to hear anything from the surround jacks.

SURROUND

Connecting the radio antennas

Connecting the supplied antennas will allow you to listen to both AM and FM radio broadcasts. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound quality—see

Connecting up

1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna wires.

2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM antenna wires.

3 Fix the AM loop antenna to the stand.

To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow ( clip the loop onto the stand (

) then

• If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws (

fig. c

) before clipping the loop to

the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.

4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and point in the direction giving the best reception.

Don’t let it come into contact with metal objects and avoid placing near computers,

television sets or other electrical appliances.

5 Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as the AM loop antenna.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.

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.

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.
