Handling discs
Hold the disc by its edges when handling so as
not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on
either side of the disc. Damaged or dirty discs
can affect playback performance.
If a disc becomes marked with fingerprints,
dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using
straight strokes. Don’t wipe the disc surface
with circular strokes.
If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a
commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to
clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use
benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents such
as those designed for cleaning vinyl records.
Storing discs
Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid,
or hot environments (including under direct
sunlight). Don't glue paper or put stickers onto
the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other
sharp-tipped writing instrument. These could
all damage the disc.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If a
disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise
damaged, don't risk using it in your player—
you could end up damaging the unit.
Note
1• For external subtitle files the following subtitle format filename extensions are supported (please note that these files are not
shown within the disc navigation menu): .srt, .sub, .ssa, .smi
• Some external subtitle files may be displayed incorrectly or not at all.
• The filename of the movie file has to be repeated at the beginning of the filename for the external subtitle file.
• The number of external subtitle files which can be switched for the same movie file is limited to a maximum of 10.

Installation and maintenance
Hints on installation
We want you to enjoy using this system for
years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a location:
Do...
Use in a well-ventilated room.
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a
table, shelf or stereo rack
Don’t...
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or
humidity, including near radiators and other
heat-generating appliances.
Place on a window sill or other place where the
system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
Use in an excessively dusty or damp
environment.
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other
component in your stereo system that becomes
hot in use.
Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference—especially if the
television uses an indoor antenna.
Use in a kitchen or other room where the system
may be exposed to smoke or steam.
Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the
system unit.
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not
large enough to support all four of the system
unit’s feet.
.
Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD player’s lens should not become dirty
in normal use, but if for some reason it should
malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your
nearest Pioneer authorized service center.
Although lens cleaners are commercially
available, we do not recommend using them
since some may damage the lens.
Problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the player if it is
brought into a warm room from outside, or if
the temperature of the room rises quickly.
Although this won’t damage the player, it may
temporarily impair performance. You should
leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on.

maintenance and precautions
Cleaning the exterior
• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe
off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very
dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some
neutral cleanser diluted five or six times
with water and wrung out well, then wipe
again with a dry cloth.
• Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never
use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays
or other chemicals on or near this unit
since they will corrode the surface.
• If you use a chemical-impregnated
cleaning cloth, read the instructions
carefully before use. These cloths may
leave smear marks on half-mirror finish
surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry
cloth.
• Make sure to unplug the unit when
cleaning.
AC adaptor and power cord caution
• Do not leave the power cord near heating
equipment. The coating of the cord may
melt, which could lead to fire and/or
electrocution.
• Make sure to grasp the body of the AC
adaptor when removing it from the power
outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may
become damaged which could lead to fire
and/or electrocution.
• Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC
adaptor with wet hands. This may result in
electrocution.
• Insert the prongs of the AC adaptor all the
way into the power outlet. If the connection
is incomplete, heat may be generated
which could lead to fire. Furthermore,
contact with the connected prongs of the
adaptor may result in electrocution.
• Do not insert the AC adaptor into a power
outlet where the connection remains loose
despite inserting the prongs all the way
into the outlet. Heat may be generated
which could lead to fire. Consult with the
retailer or an electrician regarding
replacement of the power outlet.

• When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, you can use the TV controls to select how the picture is presented. Your TV
may offer various zoom and stretch options; see the instructions that came with your TV for details.

• Amateur radio stations (HAM)
• Discrimination systems for train or
emergency vehicles
produce a variety of reflected waves as well as
variation in reception condition depending on
locations. If the audio cannot be received
properly due to this phenomenon, try moving
the location of the wireless speaker a little. Also
note that audio may be interrupted due to the
reflected waves when a person crosses or
approaches the space between the transmitter
and wireless speaker.
Scope of operation
Use of this equipment is limited to home use.
(Transmission distances may be reduced
depending on communication environments.)
In the following locations, poor condition or
inability to receive radio waves may cause the
audio to be interrupted or stopped:
• In reinforced concrete buildings or steelframed or iron-framed buildings.
Radio wave caution
This wireless speaker system uses a 2.4GHz
radio wave frequency, which is a band used by
other wireless systems (see list below). To
prevent noise or interrupted communication,
do not use this system nearby such devices, or
make sure these devices are switched off
during use. You can also try switching the
channel on the transmitter (see
page 38) for better reception.

Note
1• If there is something obstructing the path between the transmitter and the wireless speaker (such as a metal door, concrete
wall, or insulation containing tinfoil), you may need to change the location of your system to prevent signal noise and interruptions.
• If the transmitter is used near A/V equipment with an antenna input terminal, such as a TV, VCR, BS tuner or CS tuner, you
may experience noise interference on a TV near the transmitter. In such cases, place the transmitter at a larger distance from
the antenna input terminal of the A/V equipment.

speaker. If this occurs, move your unit to a
different place. When the microwave is not
in use, there will be no radio wave
interference.
For safety in operation
Do not use the system in the proximity of
electronic equipment that requires highaccuracy control or handling of very low-level
signals, such as:
• Hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, other
electrical medical equipment, fire alarms,
automatic doors, and other automated
control equipment.
The system may affect the electronic
equipment, causing malfunction or accident.
• If you use a pacemaker or other electrical
medical equipment, consult the
manufacturer or dealer to check the effects
of radio waves on it.
Do not use the system in places where its use
is prohibited, for example near aircraft
equipment and in hospitals.
The system may affect electronic equipment or
electrical medical equipment, causing an
accident. Follow the instructions given by the
aircraft company or medical institution.
Static electricity
Static electricity or other external influence
may cause malfunctioning of this unit. In this
case, unplugging the power cord and then replugging it in will usually reset the unit for
proper operation. If this does not correct the
problem, please consult your nearest Pioneer
service center.

ProblemRemedy
Audio is interrupted.• This system uses high frequency radio waves that have properties similar to
light, such as linearity, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference.
Therefore, placement of the system can result in weak radio waves and/or
interruption.
• The distance between the transmitter and wireless speaker may be too
large. Use the wireless speaker within the reach of radio wave from the
transmitter.
• The system may be close to a location generating electrical noise. If this is
the case, find a location that does not affect the sound adversely.
Audio is suddenly
interrupted.
Audio cannot be
received.
Horizontal stripe noise
interference on a TV
near the transmitter.
• There may be radio communication equipment using the same frequency
band (2.4 GHz) as this system, such as a Bluetooth device, radio LAN device,
cordless phone or microwave oven, operating nearby.
• The radio wave reception is variable depending on locations due to the
effects of obstacles and reflecting objects. Try changing the location of the
wireless speaker a little.
• The transmitter and wireless speaker are designed and sold as a pair, and
they identify each other in communication. This means that communication
is not available between separately purchased transmitter and wireless
speaker.
• If there a piece of A/V equipment with an antenna near the transmitter,
move the transmitter away from the antenna input terminal of the AV
equipment.

Wall-mounting the front
speaker system
Attaching the brackets
• Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as
securely as possible when attaching the
bracket to the back of the speaker.
• Please do not attach the brackets to the
center speaker.
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 on
which you intend to mount the speakers 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.
Note
• 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.
