To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig. A) then clip the loop onto the stand (fig. B).

Note: If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. C) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.

Place the AM antenna on a flat

surface and point in the direction giving the best reception.

Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNBAL 75 Ω antenna terminal.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.

Don’t let it come into contact with metal objects and avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances.

Connect the other end to the color-coded

speaker terminals on the rear of the DVD/CD receiver (as shown at left). Make sure to insert completely. The small lug at the wire-end of the speaker plug should face up or down depending on whether it's being plugged into one of the upper or lower three speaker terminals. Please make sure to connect correctly.

Using the remote control

The remote control can be used within a range of about 7 meters from the remote sensor on the front panel, and within a 30 degree angle.

Precautions:

• The remote control may not work if there is an obstacle between the remote control and the display unit, or if the remote control is not directed towards the remote sensor of the display unit at the correct angle.

• The remote control may not work properly if strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the unit’s remote sensor.

• The remote control may not work properly when this unit is

used near devices emitting infrared rays, or when remote controls of other devices which use infrared rays are used. Also, the use of this remote control may cause other devices to work improperly.

• When the operating range of the remote becomes too short, replace the batteries.

Remote control battery caution

Incorrect use of batteries may cause leakage or rupture.

Always be sure to follow these guidelines:

• Always insert batteries into the battery compartment correctly matching the positive ª and negative · polarities, as shown by the display inside the compartment.

• Never mix new and used batteries.

• Batteries of the same size may have different voltages, depending on brand. Do not mix different brands of batteries.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public instruction's rules that apply in your country or area.

• In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when not using the remote control for an extended period (one month or more). If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries with new ones.

• Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the remote control, since the buttons may be depressed, causing faster exhaustion of the batteries.

• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or excessively hot places, such as inside a car or near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of batteries.

Additional notes on connecting antennas

• Keep antenna cables away from the main unit and other cables.

• To assure optimum reception, pull the FM antenna so that it is fully extended and not coiled or hanging at the rear of the unit.

• If reception with the supplied antenna is poor, see the Other connections section in the main operating instructions for details on connecting outdoor antennas.

Additional notes on speaker placement

If your listening room is of adequate size, place the speakers as shown in step 3 to achieve the optimum surround sound effect. If you are listening in a fairly small room and a typical surround speaker setup is not possible, see Home theater sound setup in the instruction manual and the Speaker Setup Guide for information on the Front Surround setup option. When using the standard surround speaker setup as shown in step 3, please observe the following guidelines:

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

• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

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.

• Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

• 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 off as a safety measure.

• The front, center and surround 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 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 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 front, surround speakers and subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

Safety precautions when setting up

When assembling the speakers, 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 speakers.

Wall mounting the center speaker

The center speaker has a mounting hole which can be used to mount the speaker on the wall.

5 mm to 7 mm

• Screws (for bases) x 12

Assembling the speaker stands and securing your front and surround speakers

Attach the speaker stand bases to the stems using the screws provided.

nce you have aligned the stem and base, secure with the small screws at the points shown below. Note that the speaker should face in the direction of the base of the isosceles triangle (outlined below).

Secure each of the front and surround speakers using the plastic catch provided.

Screw two supporting hooks into the wall behind the speaker. Pass a thick cord around the hooks and through the plastic catch so that the speaker is stabilized (make sure to test that it supports the weight of the speaker). After installing, make sure the speaker is securely fixed.

Sufficiently thick cord

Before mounting (see above), keep in mind the following points:

• 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 walls, consult a professional for advice.

• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.
