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

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.

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.

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

Assembling the speaker stands and securing your front and surround speakers

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

O

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.
