Concerning the placement of
this system
Caution
• When assembling the system, lay them
down flat on their side to avoid accidents or
injury. Make sure to use a stable surface
when assembling, setting up, and placing
the system.
This system allows you to enjoy 3.1 channel
surround sound merely by installing the main
unit and subwoofer.
To achieve optimum audio performance, place
the main unit beneath the television monitor.
The subwoofer receives its audio signals
wirelessly from the main unit, so it requires no
speaker cables, allowing you to place it in the
most convenient location (a power cord
connection is required, however).
Important
Precautions regarding subwoofer installation:
• Do not place objects behind the subwoofer
and occlude the ventilation ports.
• Sound from the subwoofer may be
interrupted due to poor signal conditions,
but this is not a malfunction. If it occurs,
rearrange the position and orientation of the
main unit and/or subwoofer as required.
• The subwoofer is designed to be used
within a distance of 10 m from the main
unit. The actual distance within which it
can be used, however, may be less,
depending on the environment and design
of the room where it is used.
• Signal reception by the subwoofer may be
unstable if it is placed too close to the main
unit. In this case, separate the subwoofer
at least 1 m from the main unit.
• Signal reception by the subwoofer may be
interrupted if an obstruction (metal door or
concrete wall, aluminum covered
insulation, etc.) is placed between it and
the main unit. In this case, install the
subwoofer in an uninterrupted line-of-sight
orientation from the main unit.

that its weight could cause the screws to
work loose, or the wall material to fail to
support it, resulting in the unit falling.
Make sure that the wall you intend to
mount the unit on is strong enough to
support them. Do not mount on plywood or
soft surface walls. If you are unsure of the
qualities, consult a professional for advice.
• Pioneer is not responsible for any
accidents or damage that result from
improper installation, misuse or
modification of the product, or natural
disasters.

Additional notes on the
system placement
Precautions:
• When installing the main unit on top of the
TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some
other suitable means. Otherwise, the main
unit may fall from the TV due to external
shocks such as earthquakes, endangering
those nearby or damaging the main unit.
• The main unit is magnetically shielded.
However, depending on the installation
location, color distortion may occur if the
main unit 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 main unit 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.

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
1
trademarks of Sony Corporation).
HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition
Multimedia Interface are trademarks or
registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing, LLC.
