Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording your files. The disc must be finalized (i.e. the session must be closed) in order to play in this system unit. This system is not compatible with multi-session discs. Only the first session of a multi-session disc will be recognized.

This system only plays tracks that are named with the file extension .mp3,

.MP3, .wma, or .WMA.

11

En

01 Before you start

When naming MP3 and WMA files, add the corresponding file name extension (.mp3 or .wma). Files are played according to the file extension. To prevent noise and malfunctions, do not use these extensions for other kinds of files.

This system can recognize up to 999 files (WMA/MP3) and up to 499 folders. If a disc exceeds these limits, only files and folders up to these limits will be playable. Files and folders are read/displayed in alphabetical order. Note that if the file structure is very complex, you may not be able to read/play all the files on the disc.

Folder and track names (excluding the file extension) are displayed.

There are many different recording bitrates available to encode MP3 files. This system unit was designed to be compatible with all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps should sound close to regular CD Audio quality. This system will play lower bit-rate files, but please note that the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.

JPEG file compatibility

Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported (maximum vertical and horizontal resolution is 5120 pixels). (*File format used by digital still cameras)

The CD-ROM used to compile your JPEG files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2 compliant. CD physical format: Mode1, Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file systems are both compatible with this system.

This system can recognize up to 999 files (JPEG) and up to 499 folders. If a disc exceeds these limits, only files and folders up to these limits will be playable. Files and folders are read/displayed in alphabetical order. Note that if the file structure is very complex, you may not be able to read/play all the files on the disc.

Folder and file names (excluding the file extension) are displayed.

This system only displays files that are named with the file extension .jpg or

.JPG.

Connecting up

Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all the components are switched off and unplugged from the power supply.

CAUTION: These speaker terminals can be under HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. When you connect or disconnect the speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock, do not touch uninsulated parts

before disconnecting the power cord.

02 Connecting up

Connect each speaker using the color-coded speaker cable. Match them to the colored labels above the speaker terminals.

Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

This system has been designed for best performance when connected to the supplied speakers. We do not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use other speakers with this system.

1Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.

2Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the system unit.

Match the colored wire with the color-coded label (above the tabs), then insert the colored wire into the red (+) tab and the other wire with the black (–) tab.

14

3 Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the speakers in the same way.

Remove the supplied non-skid pads from the paper, and stick four onto the base of each satellite speaker. Actual speakers supplied may differ from those shown.

Placing the speakers

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 6–9 ft. / 2–3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.

En

Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

The front, center and surround speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 15–30 minutes.

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor.

Wall-mounting the center and surround speaker system

Before mounting

Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the wood 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 that are suitable for the wall material and that will support the weight of the speaker.

If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice.

Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

02 Connecting up

Connecting to your TV

This system has three different kinds of video output that you can use to connect up your TV. Check the available inputs on your TV to see which you can use.

Do not connect a VCR between this system and your TV as DVD playback will be affected.

Use the supplied video cable to connect the VIDEO OUT jack to a video input on your TV.
