Connect each speaker using the color-coded speaker cords. Match them to the colored labels above the speaker terminals.
1 Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire. 3 Connect the other end to the speaker in the same way.
2 Connect one end to the DVD receiver. Match the colored wire with the colorcoded label (above the tabs), then insert the colored wire into the red (+) tab and the other wire with the black () tab.
Remove the supplied non-slip pads from the paper, and stick four onto the base of each satellite speaker. Actual speakers supplied may differ from those shown.

Connecting Up

Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire. This DVD receiver has been designed for best performance when connected to the supplied speakers. We do not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use other speakers with this system.

The front and center speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 1530 minutes. The subwoofer and surround speakers are not magnetically shielded, so they should not be placed near a TV or monitor.

Placing the speakers

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system. The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when youre listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended. For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 3m apart. The surround speakers should not be further away from your listening position than the front speakers. The center speaker should be as close as possible to the TV screen so that movie dialog is localized properly.

2-3 meters

Wall mounting the center and surround speaker system
Before mounting Remember that this speaker system is heavy and that its weight may cause the wood screw to work loose or the wall to fail to support it, in which case the speaker system may fall on the floor. This is extremely dangerous. Make absolutely sure that the wall is sturdy enough to support the weight of the speaker system. Do not mount it on plywood boards or soft-surface walls. The mounting screws are not included with this unit. Please find the correct screws for your application.

Your listening position
If you install the center speaker on top of your TV, be sure to secure it with tape or by some other suitable means. An unsecured speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

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.

If the system is left disconnected from the AC power outlet for a lengthy period, the station presets will be lost and will have to be reprogrammed.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This system can save up to 30 station presets. When saving FM frequencies, the receiver also saves the mono setting (see Improving FM stereo sound above). 1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.

Using Surround Sound

Adjusting the bass and treble
The simplest way to shape the sound is by adjusting the amount of bass and treble.

Using sound modes

The sound modes allow you to add various surround and room-type sound effects to your DVDs, CDs and other sources. These effects process the sound in various ways to simulate different spaces such as a theater, or concert hall. For Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS surround sources, such as DVDs, use the Advanced Theater effects to add room ambience to the sound; for stereo-only sources, such as audio CDs, use the DSP modes. For each effect you can also adjust how strong the effect sounds. Often, a more subtle effect level enhances the sound better than turning it right up. Experiment to see what works best for you.
The bass and treble controls have no effect when using the DSP modes, or when the surround mode is set to anything other than STANDARD, AUTO or SURR. OFF (surround off). You cannot adjust the bass or treble when Record mode is active (see Direct recording on page 25). 1 Press SOUND. 2 Use the 2 or 3 buttons to select BASS or TREBLE. 3 Use the 5 and buttons to adjust the sound. You can see the current level in the display. 4 Press ENTER.

1. CONTRAST OF MISCELLANEOUS PARTS

NOTES:

Parts marked by "NSP" are generally unavailable because they are not in our Master Spare Parts List. The mark found on some component parts indicates the importance of the safety factor of the part. Therefore, when replacing, be sure to use parts of identical designation. Screws adjacent to mark on product are used for disassembly. Reference jNos. indicate the pages and Nos. in the service manual for the base model. p f y For the applying amount of lubricants or glue, follow the instructions in this manual. (In the case of no amount instructions, apply as you think it appropriate.) When ordering resistors, first convert resistance values into code form as shown in the following examples. Ex.1 When there are 2 effective digits (any digit apart from 0), such as 560 ohm and 47k ohm (tolerance is shown by J=5%, and K=10%). 561... RD1/4PU 1 J 560 47k 473... RD1/4PU 3 J 0.5 R50... RN2H R K 1 1R0... RS1P 1 R 0 K Ex.2 When there are 3 effective digits (such as in high precision metal film resistors). 5621.. RN1/4PC F 5.62k
