Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will
provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often
undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer
and the Electronic Industries Association’s
Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid
prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of
sound levels is included for your protection.

Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40
Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine

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.

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 4.5 feet 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.

Wall mounting the display unit
It is possibe to mount the display unit on the wall.
Before mounting:
• Remember that the display unit is heavy and could
cause the wood screws to work loose, or the wall
material to fail to support it, resulting in the display
falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount
the display on is strong enough to support it. 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 display.
•Pioneer bears no responsibility for accidents resulting
from faulty assembly or installation, insufficient
mounting strength of walls or other building fixtures,
misuse or natural disasters.
• If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the
wall, consult a professional for advice.
Using this system for TV audio
If your TV has a stereo audio output you can connect it to

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.
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.
