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.

Decibel 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 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80

Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Installation 01

Concerning the placement of this system

Caution

• When assembling the system, 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 system.

This system allows you to enjoy 3.1 channel surround sound merely by installing the main unit and subwoofer.

To achieve optimum audio performance, place the main unit beneath the television monitor.

The subwoofer receives its audio signals wirelessly from the main unit, so it requires no speaker cables, allowing you to place it in the most convenient location (a power cord connection is required, however).

Important

Precautions regarding subwoofer installation:

• Do not place objects behind the subwoofer and occlude the ventilation ports.

• Sound from the subwoofer may be interrupted due to poor signal conditions, but this is not a malfunction. If it occurs, rearrange the position and orientation of the main unit and/or subwoofer as required.

• The subwoofer is designed to be used within a distance of 10 m (32 ft.) from the main unit. The actual distance within which it can be used, however, may be less, depending on the environment and design of the room where it is used.

• Signal reception by the subwoofer may be unstable if it is placed too close to the main unit. In this case, separate the subwoofer at least 1 m (3.2 ft.) from the main unit.

• Signal reception by the subwoofer may be interrupted if an obstruction (metal door or concrete wall, aluminum covered insulation, etc.) is placed between it and the main unit. In this case, install the subwoofer in an uninterrupted line-of-sight orientation from the main unit.

Wall mounting the main unit

The main unit can be mounted on a wall if desired. Before performing a wall mounting, consult page 12 and complete the wiring connections.

Caution

• Remember that the main unit 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 unit falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the unit on is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls. If you are unsure of the qualities, consult a professional for advice.

• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation, misuse or modification of the product, or natural disasters.

• Mounting screws and washers are not supplied. Use screws suitable for the wall material and support the weight of the unit. Recommended dimensions are for a screw

Installation 01

1 Paste the supplied wall mounting template on the area of installation.

Attach the template level to the ground using an adhesive such as tape. Make sure the template is straight to avoid mounting the unit crookedly. Pasting the template too close to the TV may cause the TV to get in the way of the unit when installing. Make sure the template and TV do not overlap.

Additional notes on the system placement

Precautions:

• When installing the main unit on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means. Otherwise, the main unit may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the main unit.

• The main unit is magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if the main unit is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this case 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 main unit away from the television set.

• The 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 subwoofer.

• Do not attach the subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

Chapter 2

Connecting up

Making cable connections

Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit. If this happens, the magnetic field produced by the transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise from the speakers.

Caution

• When connecting this system or changing connections, be sure to switch power off and disconnect the power cord from the wall socket. After completing all connections, connect the power cords to the wall socket.

HDMI cables

The HDMI cables transfers uncompressed digital video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio that the connected component is compatible with, including DVD-video, DVDAudio, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTSHD Master Audio (see below for limitations), Video CD/Super VCD, CD, SACD (DSD 2 ch only) and 192 kHz/8 ch (Max. number of channel inputs) PCM.

About HDMI

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or high-definition video plus standard to multi-channel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

This system is also compatible with the DeepColor and x.v.Color feature (x.v.Color is trademarks of Sony Corporation).

HDMI, the HDMI logo and High-Definition Multimedia Interface are trademarks or registered trademarks of HDMI Licensing, LLC.

Be careful to connect the terminal in the proper direction.

Note

1 • Set the HDMI parameter in Setting the Audio options on page 24 to THRU (THROUGH), if you want to hear HDMI

audio output from your TV or flat panel TV (no sound will be heard from this system).

• If the video signal does not appear on your TV or flat panel TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your

component or display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this case, use a method other than HDMI to connect your television to the other component.

• When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be

received.

Important

• Compared to existing digital audio transmission formats (optical and coaxial), HDMI format digital audio transmissions requires a longer time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may occur when switching between formats or beginning playback. Additionally, turning on/off the component connected to this unit’s HDMI OUT terminal or disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable may cause noise or interrupted audio.

Digital audio cables

Commercially available coaxial digital audio cables or optical cables should be used to connect digital components to this system.
