IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG

This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.

If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue : Neutral Brown : Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows ;

The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured BLACK. The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured RED.

How to replace the fuse: Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel.

D3-4-2-1-2-2_B_En

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).

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).

D3-4-2-2-1a_A_En

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.

Speaker Setup Guide

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.

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.

Standard surround setup

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

Front surround setup

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. Use this setup together with the Front Stage Surround Advance modes in page 33.

Preparing the speakers

This unit comes with speaker bases that can be used to adjust the speakers to the design of the room in which they are placed.

Using the supplied speaker bases

1 Attach the non-skid pads to the speaker bases, as shown below.

Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the base of each speaker base.

Speaker Setup Guide

Speaker

Screw

Speaker base

2 Attach the speaker bases.

Place the speaker atop a supplied speaker base, and fix the base in place by using one of the supplied screws.

• The supplied speaker bases come in two different shapes. You can determine the correct base for a speaker by checking if the screw’s location lines up correctly when the speaker is placed atop the base. (There are specific bases for the front/center (L) and surround speaker (R), and for the front/center (R) and surround speaker (L), with two of each type included.)

When not using the supplied speaker bases

• Attach the non-skid pads to the base of each of the front/center and surround speakers (as shown).

Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the base of each speaker.

Non-skid pads x 16

Front/center and surround speakers

Connect the speaker system

Refer to Connecting up to connect the speakers properly. After connecting everything, place the speakers as shown in the diagram above for optimal surround sound. After placing the speakers, run the Auto MCACC setup (page 27) to complete your surround sound setup.

Additional notes on speaker placement

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

• When using the Standard surround setup, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level for optimum effect.

• When using the Front surround setup, separate the left and right speakers by about 1.5 m for optimum effect.

Precautions:

• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface, as doing so may cause the speaker to fall and cause damage or bodily injury.

• All speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, colour distortion may occur if a 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.

• 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.

• The speaker system grill cannot be removed. Do not try to forcibly remove it since doing so may damage the grille.

• When cleaning the cabinet, use the provided cleaning cloth. Do not allow alcohol, thinner, benzene, or insecticides to come into contact with the surface, since finish discoloration may occur. Also, when using chemically impregnated cleaning cloths, follow their precautions carefully.

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 in the sound.

• If the cables’ 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.

5 Connect the HDD/DVD recorder to the receiver subwoofer.

a. Plug the control cable into the CONTROL OUT 1 jack

on the side of the receiver subwoofer. Plug the other end of the cable into the CONTROL IN

jack on the rear of the HDD/DVD recorder.
