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.
If the speakers are to be used in a stacked configuration, always use the provided brackets to secure them together (page 7, 8).
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.

The present system, however, features Pioneer’s proprietary New Front Surround technology and Dual Center Speakers, using only two speaker positions (to right and left of television as shown in the illustration) in order to provide full home theater sound while greatly simplifying the issue of speaker placement.

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.

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 1.5 m 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.

5Connect each speaker.
•The front and surround speaker cables have a colorcoded connector at one end and two bare wires at the other end.
•When connecting the center speakers, connect the Y- cable dual end to the two center speakers in the same way.
Color-coded wire (Connect to speaker)
Color-coded connector (Connect to rear panel)
•Since there is only one terminal to connect the two center speakers, you will need to use the supplied Y- cable for the connection.
•Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.
•Connect the wires to the speaker. Each speaker in the illustration can be identified by means of the colorcoded indicator provided on the rear-surface model label. Match the color-coded wire with the color indicator on the model label, then insert the colorcoded wire into the red (+) side and the other wire into the black (–) side.
Y-cable
To Receiver subwoofer
•Connect the other end to the color-coded speaker terminals on the rear of the receiver subwoofer. 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.

•When connections are completed, adjust the cable placements. If the speakers have been fixed with the brackets, fix the cable to the groove in the brackets as shown.
•Fasten the cables together with the spiral wrap. Hold multiple cables together and place the wrap over the cables from the end.
Wrap the spiral wrap with the cables in the center. The spiral wrap may be cut at a desired length.
6Connect the subwoofer cable.
•Just below the subwoofer speaker, to the left of center, you should see the subwoofer connecting cable. Plug this into the SUBWOOFER SPEAKER terminal.
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.
•The center speakers and front/surround speakers are designed with different impedance values. Be sure to identify and connect the speakers correctly since improper connections may result in degraded sound or operation.

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.1
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.

Place it about ear height, and make sure it is level by using a table or chair.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
3If the receiver subwoofer is off, press RECEIVER to turn the power on.
4Press MCACC.
Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing MCACC. The volume increases automatically and the system outputs a series of test tones.
•To cancel Auto MCACC setup before it has finished, press MCACC. The unit will continue to use the previous settings.
•If the ambient noise level is too high, NOISY blinks in the display for five seconds. To exit and check the noise levels1, press MCACC, or to try again, press ENTER when RETRY shows in the display.
•If you see an ERR MIC or ERR SP message in the display, there may be a problem with your mic or the speaker connections. To try again, press ENTER when you see RETRY2.
When the MCACC setup is complete, the volume level returns to normal, COMPLETE3 shows in the display, and Acoustic Calibration EQ is activated.4
Note
1• If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary.
• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during Auto MCACC setup.
2If this doesn’t work, press MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the ERR message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again.
3If COMPLETE doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.

Using the Sound Retriever
When audio data is removed during the MP3 or WMA compression process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to compressed 2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.
Tip
•This feature is effective when used together with the Jukebox function of the HDD/DVD recorder.

Using RDS
Radio Data System (RDS) is a system used by most FM radio stations to provide listeners with various kinds of information — the name of the station and the kind of show they’re broadcasting, for example.
One feature of RDS is that you can search by type of program. For example, you can search for a station that’s broadcasting a show with the program type, JAZZ.
You can search the following program types:1
• Press RDS DISP for RDS information.
Each press changes the display as follows:
•Radio Text (RT) – Messages sent by the radio station. For example, a talk radio station may provide a phone number as RT.
•Program Service Name (PS) – The name of the radio station.
•Program Type (PTY) – This indicates the kind of program currently being broadcast.
•SEARCH – PTY search (see below)
•Current tuner frequency

Note
1 In addition, there are three other program types, TEST, ALARM, and NO TYPE. ALARM and TEST are used for emergency announcements. You can’t search for these, but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal. NO TYPE appears when a program type cannot be found.
2 • If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.
•If you see NO RADIO TEXT DATA in the RT display, it means no RT data is sent from the broadcast station. The display will automatically switch to the PS data display (if no PS data, the frequency is displayed).
•In the PTY display, NO DATA or NO TYPE may be shown. In this case, the PS display is shown after a few seconds.
3 RDS is only possible in the FM band.
