VENTILATION CAUTION

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 10 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 10 cm at each side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet or a bed.

CAUTION

The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left

unused for a long period of time

(for example, when on vacation).

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make sure it is properly disposed of after removal. The equipment should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

Speaker Setup Guide01

Chapter 1

Speaker Setup Guide

Home theater sound setup

Depending on the size and characteristics of your room, you can place your speakers in one of two ways using this system. For the speaker configuration, see the Setup Guide.

5 spot speaker layout

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

3 spot speaker layout

This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn’t possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area.

Preparing the speakers

Attaching non-skid pads

• Attach the smaller non-skid pads to the base of each of the speakers. The four large non-skid pads are for the subwoofer.

Use the supplied adhesive to attach 4 pads to the

base (flat surface) of each speaker.

Wall mounting the speakers

The front and surround speaker have mounting brackets.

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.

Mounting screw

(not supplied)

5 mm to 7

Speaker Setup Guide 01

Attaching the brackets

• Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as securely as possible when attaching the bracket to the back of the speaker.

• Please do not attach the brackets to the center speaker.

Bracket screw (supplied)

Additional notes on speaker placement

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

• When using the 5 spot speaker layout, 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 center speaker and subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

For Front Surround mode, turn each surround speaker so that the  arrow at the base is lined up with the  (FRONT SURROUND) arrow on the front speaker. For Extra Power mode, have all the speakers facing forward. See the Listening to your system for more on using Front Surround and Extra Power modes.

CAUTION

• To prevent accidents, make sure the surround speaker is placed securely on top of the front speaker.

• Please don’t attach the speakers to the wall or speaker stands for 3 spot speaker layout.

3-2 Connect each speaker terminals on the receiver.

• Connect the other end to the color-coded speaker terminals on the rear of the receiver. Make sure to insert completely.

The small lug at the wire-end of the speaker plug should face up or down depending on whether it’s being plugged into one of the upper or lower speaker terminals. Please make sure to connect correctly.

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.

Putting the batteries in the remote control

1 Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the remote control.

2 Insert two AA/R6 batteries into the battery compartment following the indications (, ) inside the compartment.

3 Close the cover.

CAUTION

Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such as leakage and bursting. Please observe the following:

• Always insert batteries into the battery compartment correctly matching the positive  and negative  polarities, as shown by the display inside the compartment.

• Never mix new and used batteries.

• Batteries of the same size may have different voltages, depending on brand. Do not mix different brands of batteries.

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

• In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when not using the remote control for an extended period (one month or more). If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries with new ones.

• Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the remote control, since the buttons may be depressed, causing faster exhaustion of the batteries.

• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or excessively hot places, 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.

Using the remote control

The remote control can be used within a range of about 7 meters from the remote sensor on the front panel, and within a 30 degree angle.

• The remote control may not work if there is an obstacle between the remote control and the display unit, or if the remote control is not directed towards the remote sensor of the display unit at the correct angle.

• The remote control may not work properly if strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the unit’s remote sensor.

• The remote control may not work properly when this unit is used near devices emitting infrared rays, or when remote controls of other devices which use infrared rays are used. Also, the use of this remote control may cause other devices to work improperly.

• When the operating range of the remote becomes too short, replace the batteries.

Simply select the audio file you want to listen to followed by the JPEG from which you want the slideshow to start. Playback of both the slideshow and the audio files repeats. Playback controls are effective for the JPEG slideshow only.

• To play the contents of the whole disc rather than just the current folder, exit the Disc Navigator and start playback using the  (play) button.

Using Playlists

With this feature, you can make up to three playlists of 30 files each for discs containing WMA, MP3, MPEG-4 AAC and JPEG files. Since this unit will remember all playlists for the last ten discs you have loaded, this is useful if you have a large number of files that you

want to organize quickly and easily.
