Before plugging in for the first time, read the following section carefully.
The voltage of the available power supply differs according to country or region. Be sure that the power supply voltage of the area where this unit will be used meets the required voltage (e.g., 230 V or 120 V) written on the rear panel.
This product is for general household purposes. Any failure due to use for other than household purposes (such as long-term use for business purposes in a restaurant or use in a car or ship) and which requires repair will be charged for even during the warranty period.
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).
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.
VENTILATION CAUTION
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 5 cm at top, 5 cm at rear, and 5 cm at each side).

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 5, 6).
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.

10 mm
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 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.

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.

Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
3If the receiver subwoofer is off, press STANDBY/
ON 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 levels2, 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 RETRY.3

Note
1You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you change the placement of your speakers or your room layout).
2• 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.
3If 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.
4If COMPLETE doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.
