more on using the different listening modes with each speaker setup.

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 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.

• When using a 5-spot setup, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level, if possible.

Connecting up

Wall-mounting the center speaker

• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed (if you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it by suitable means). 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 and center 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.

• For a greater surround sound effect from the wireless speaker, see Setting the channel levels on page 67 to increase the surround channel levels.

• As well as setting the wireless mode on the speakers, you must also set the mode on the main unit. See Using the wireless speaker system on page 42 for more on this.

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.

10 mm

Protrusion: 5-7mm

• 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.

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.

Compatibility of this player with progressive-scan and high-definition TVs.

This player is compatible with progressive video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.

Consumers should note that not all highdefinition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the ‘standard definition’ output (Interlace).

If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model, please contact our customer service center.

This system is compatible with the Pioneer PDP-503HDG, PDP-504HDG, PDP-433HDG and PDP-434HDG displays.
