Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
Decibel Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
80 at two feet.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90
Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Safety precautions when setting up
When assembling the speakers, 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 speakers.
If the speakers are to be used in a stacked configuration, always use the provided brackets to secure them together (page 8, 9).
Home theater sound setup
Most 5.1 channel home theater systems are designed so that speakers are placed to surround the listener’s position as shown in the illustration. Such designs, however, produce the undesirable effect of forcing the center speaker to be mounted above or below the television monitor, and require room for the surround speakers.

Speaker Setup Guide
Wall mounting the speakers
The front, center and surround 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.

3/8 in. (10 mm)
Mounting screw (not supplied)
3/16 in. to 1/4 in. (5 mm to 7 mm)
Additional notes on speaker placement
• Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.
• When using the Front surround setup, separate the left and right speakers by about 4.5 feet for optimum effect.
• When using the Standard surround setup, 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.
• The front (x2), center (x2) and surround (x2) 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 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 receiver 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 receiver subwoofer.
• Do not attach the receiver subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.
• For safety, make sure that there is no exposed bare speaker wire outside of the speaker terminals.
• Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.
• Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied to this system.

Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound
The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, and testing for channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided, the system uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration
EQ) for your particular room.
Important
• The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup are loud; however, do not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a sub-optimal setup.
• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the MCACC setup.
