The operation of this product and restrictions on this product may vary depending on your time of purchase as those restrictions may be adopted and/or changed by AACS after the production of this product.

•Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are additionally used as content protection systems for BD format, which imposes certain restrictions including playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain additional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark,

BD+, or this product, please contact an authorized Customer Service Centre.

•Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with copy protection. Because of this, you should only connect your player directly to your TV, not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture from copy-protected discs.

•For up-conversion of standard deinition DVD, a HDMI or HDCP capable DVI input on your display device is required for copy protected content.

Compatibility Notes

•Because BD-ROM is a new format, certain disc, digital connection and other compatibility issues are possible. If you

experience compatibility problems, please contact an authorized Customer Service Centre.

•Viewing high-deinition content and upconverting standard DVD content may require a HDMI-capable input or HDCPcapable DVI input on your display device.

•Some BD-ROM and DVD discs may restrict the use of some operation commands or features.

Wall mounting the	Additional notes on
centre speaker	speaker

The centre speaker 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.

Mounting screw
(not supplied)	5 mm
	10 mm
5 mm to 7 mm

Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.

Precautions:

Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut of as a safety measure.

The front, centre and surround speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, colour distortion may occur if the speaker 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 speaker system 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 loppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the subwoofer.

Do not attach the front/surround speakers and subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall of and cause injury.
