Note

• Refer to the operating instructions in the included CD- ROM if you wish to connect a TV or playback component in a method other than an HDMI connection.

• Refer to the operating instructions in the included CD- ROM for other device connections.

CAUTION

• Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cables. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service company for a replacement.

When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 40 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 20 cm at each side).

WARNING

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet or a bed.

Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)

The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup uses the supplied setup microphone to measure and analyze the test tone that is outputted by the speakers. This setup enables automatic high precision measuring and settings; utilizing it will create an optimum user listening environment.

Important

• Measure in a quiet environment.

• If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so that it’s about ear level at your normal listening position. Otherwise, place the microphone at ear level using a table or a chair.

• Accurate measurements may not be possible if there are obstacles between the speakers and the listening position (microphone).

• When measuring, step away from the listening position, and operate using the remote control from the external side of all the speakers.

Connect the supplied setup microphone.
