2 Attach the speaker stand bases to the stems using the screws provided.

Once you have aligned the stem and base, secure with the small screws at the points shown below. Note that the speaker should face in the direction of the base of the isosceles triangle.

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 stand base or the tall speaker during assembly.

• If the unit is assembled with foreign matter stuck between the stand base and the tall speaker 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.

3 Connect each speaker.

Connect the wires to the speaker. Each speaker in the illustration can be identified by means of the color-coded indicator provided on the rear-surface label.

Front left: White Front right: Red Center: Green Surround left: Blue Surround right: Gray

Sufficiently

thick cord

Plastic catch

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.

• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions on the sound.

• If the cable’s wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp.

Securing your front and surround speakers

• Secure each of the front and surround speakers using the plastic catch provided.

Screw two supporting hooks into the wall behind the speaker. Pass a thick cord around the hooks and through the plastic catch so that the speaker is stabilized (make sure to test that it supports the weight of the speaker). After installing, make sure the speaker is securely fixed.

Caution

• The plastic catch is not a mounting fixture, and the speaker should not be hung directly from the wall using this catch. Always use a cord when stabilizing the speaker.

• Pioneer disclaims all responsibility for any losses or damage resulting from improper assembly, installation, insufficient strength of the installation materials, misuse, or natural disasters.

• When placing this unit, ensure that it is firmly secured and avoid areas where it may be likely to fall and cause injury in the event of a natural disaster (such as an earthquake).

Wall mounting the center speaker

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.

Additional notes on speaker placement

• Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.

• Install the surround speakers slightly above ear level for optimum effect.

Precautions:

• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

• 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, center and surround speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion 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.

• 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.

• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

• The front, center and surround speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion 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 subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

This is a standard speaker setup. The front left and right speakers should be about 1.8 m to 2.7 m apart.

Preparing the speakers

1 Attach the non-skid pads to the base of receiver subwoofer.

Use the supplied adhesive to attach four pads to the base of subwoofer.

base and secure with the 4 screws.

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 stand base or the tall speaker during assembly.

• If the unit is assembled with foreign matter stuck between the stand base and the tall speaker the unit may not be assembled securely, resulting in tipping or falling.

Connect the other end to the color-coded speaker terminals on the rear of the receiver subwoofer.

• When connections are completed, secure the speaker cables. Fix the cables to the groove in the speakers.

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.

• Only those speakers supplied, or purchased as an officially supported option, should be connected 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.

• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions on the sound.

• If the cable’s wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp.

Wall mounting the front speakers

The front speakers 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.

Attaching the speakers

The front speaker can be hung vertically or horizontally on the wall. Use one hole to hang it vertically and two holes to hang it horizontally.

When installing the speaker horizontally, set it up so that the speaker terminal on the back side of the speaker is on the outside on the end of the surface, farthest away from the other speaker.

Additional notes on speaker placement

• Install the front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.

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 speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion 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 subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

For Enhanced Sound Quality

A home theater system can be easily constructed using just the front (right/left) speakers and the subwoofer of this set, but by adding optional S-SWR5CR speaker systems, you can enjoy genuine 5.1 channel surround sound.

Take the following points into account when connecting the optional speaker systems:

• When the contents of these Operating Instructions from chapter 2 on describe a specific model, use those portions dealing with the HTP-600.

• For information regarding the installation and connection of optional speaker systems, consult the information provided with the optional speaker systems, together Speaker Setup (HTP-600) on page 18 portion of these Operating Instructions.

• See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) on page 45 to set up your system again using MCACC.

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

This system is also compatible with the DeepColor and x.v.Color feature (x.v.Color is trademarks of Sony Corporation).

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing, LLC.

Note

Important

• Compared to existing digital audio transmission formats (optical and coaxial), HDMI format digital audio transmissions requires a longer time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may occur when switching between formats or beginning playback. Additionally, turning on/off the component connected to this unit’s HDMI OUT terminal or disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable may cause noise or interrupted audio.

Analog audio cables

Use stereo RCA phono cables to connect analog audio components. These cables are typically red and white, and you should connect the red plugs to R (right) terminals and white plugs to L (left) terminals.

Digital audio cables

Commercially available coaxial digital audio cables or optical cables should be used to connect digital components to this system.

Coaxial digital audio cable

Standard RCA video cables

These cables are the most common type of video connection and are used to connect to the composite video terminals. The yellow plugs distinguish them from cables for audio.
