Placing the speakers
After setting up your front speakers as shown

placement options.
Listening position
See About the listening modes on page 44 for
more on using the different listening modes
with each speaker setup.
• Standard surround setup – This is a
standard multichannel surround sound
speaker setup.
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.
Center
Front left
Front right
Subwoofer
• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.
Ideally, the other speakers should be at
about ear-level when you’re listening to
them. Putting the speakers on the floor
(except the subwoofer), or mounting them
very high on a wall is not recommended.
Listening position
Wireless speaker
• For the best stereo effect, place the front
speakers 2–3 m apart, at equal distance
from the TV.
The following speaker placement options are
only possible if you have connected a pair of
speakers (not supplied) to the surround
speaker terminals (refer to Connecting the
speakers and wireless speaker system on
page 12 to do this) and you are using the the
wireless speaker as a second stereo system
(see Using the wireless speaker system on
page 42 for more on this).
• Install the center speaker above or below
the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen.
• When using a 5-spot setup, install the
surround speakers slightly above ear level,
if possible.

Wall-mounting the center speaker
Before mounting
• Make sure that all speakers are securely
installed (if you choose to install the center
speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure
it by suitable means). This not only
improves sound quality, but also reduces
the risk of damage or injury resulting from
speakers being knocked over or falling in
the event of external shocks such as
earthquakes.
• 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 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 that are suitable for the wall
material and that will support the weight of
the speaker.
• 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 15–30 minutes.
5 mm
10 mm
Wood screw
• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded
and so should not be placed near a TV or
monitor.
Protrusion: 5-7mm
• For a greater surround sound effect from
the wireless speaker, see Setting the
channel levels on page 67 to increase the
surround channel levels.
• If you are unsure of the qualities and
strength of the walls, consult a
professional for advice.
• As well as setting the wireless mode on the
speakers, you must also set the mode on
the main unit. See Using the wireless
speaker system on page 42 for more on
this.
• Pioneer is not responsible for any
accidents or damage that result from
improper installation.

Connecting using the S-video output
If your TV has an S-video input, you can use this
instead of the standard video output for a
better quality picture.
Connecting to your TV
This system has three different kinds of video
output that you can use to connect up your TV.
Check the available inputs on your TV to see
which you can use.
•
Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to
connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video
input on your TV.
Line up the small triangle below the jack with
the same mark on the plug before plugging in.
• Do not connect a VCR between this system
and your TV as DVD playback will be
affected.

Watching progressive scan video from
the component video outputs
Connecting using the component
video output
Compared to interlace video, progressive scan
video effectively doubles the scanning rate of
the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-
free image. Progressive scan video is available
only from the component video output. There
are a few things to keep in mind when
switching the Component Out (page 70)
setting to Progressive:
If your TV has component video inputs, you can
use these instead of the standard video output
to connect this system to your TV. This should
give you the best quality picture from the three
types of video output available.
•
Use a component video cable (not
supplied) to connect the COMPONENT
VIDEO OUT to a set of component inputs
on your TV.
• When set to Progressive, there is no video
output from the VIDEO OUT (composite)
and S (S-video) jacks.
• If you want to display video on more than
one monitor simultaneously, make sure
the player is set to Interlace.

Using the on-screen displays
For ease of use, this system makes extensive
use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs).
You should get used to the way these work as
you’ll need to use them when setting up the
system, using some of the playback features,
such as program play, and when making more
advanced settings for audio and video.
• Throughout this manual, ‘Select’ means
use the cursor buttons to highlight an item
on-screen, then press ENTER.
All the screens are navigated in basically the
same way, using the cursor buttons to change
the highlighted item and pressing ENTER to
select it.
• The button guide at the bottom of every
OSD screen shows you which buttons
you’ll need to use for that screen.

Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for
your system. The region number should be
printed on the disc; check it against the
region number of the system (which you
can find on the rear panel). See also DVD
Video regions on page 76.
DVD-Video disc menus
Many DVD-Video discs contain menus from
which you can select what you want to watch.
They may give access to additional features,
such as subtitle and audio language selection,
or special features such as slideshows. See the
disc packaging for details.
If the region number is OK, it may be that
the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc
and look for signs of damage. See also
Using and taking care of discs on page 76.
Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed
automatically when you start playback; others
only appear when you press DVD MENU or
TOP MENU.
If you’ve set the Parental Lock level for the
system to a level lower than the disc you are
trying to play, you’ll need to set it again to
watch the disc (see Parental Lock on

Using Front Surround
The Front Surround feature is only possible if you
connect a pair of speakers (not supplied) to the
surround speaker terminals.
Advanced Surround effects can be used with
multichannel or stereo sources for a variety of

effects.
This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker

TV format setting
The default setting of this system is AUTO, and
unless you notice that the picture is distorted
when playing some discs, you should leave it
set to AUTO. If you experience picture
distortion with some discs, set the TV system to
match your country or region’s system. Doing
this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you
can watch. The table below shows what kinds
of disc are compatible with each setting
(AUTO, PAL and NTSC).
Most models of the newly developed count-
down PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz
(NTSC) and automatically switch vertical
amplitude, resulting in a display without
vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases,
the image may appear without color.
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control,
you may not be able to watch NTSC discs
because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold
control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling.

Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback
performance. Take care also not to scratch the
label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as
the recorded side, scratches can still result in
a disc becoming unusable.
CDs and Video CD/Super VCDs are divided into
tracks.
Should a disc become marked with
fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry
cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to
the outside edge as shown in the diagram
below.

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,
including products designed for cleaning vinyl
records.
This system is designed for use with
conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of
shaped discs is not recommended for this
product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising
in connection with the use of shaped discs.
Proper installation and
maintenance of this system
Storing discs
Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable
than vinyl records, you should still take care to
handle and store discs correctly. When you're
not using a disc, return it to its case and store
upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold,
humid, or hot environments (including under
direct sunlight).
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 suitable
location for it:
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.
Do...
ꢄUse in a well-ventilated room.
ꢄPlace on a solid, flat, level surface, such as
a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don’t...
ꢅ Use in a place exposed to high
temperatures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating
appliances.
For more detailed care information see the
instructions that come with discs.
Do not load more than one disc into the player
at a time.
ꢅ Place on a window sill or other place where
the system will be exposed to direct
sunlight.
ꢅ Use in an excessively dusty or damp
Discs to avoid
environment.
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If
you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped,
warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk
using it—you could end up damaging the
player.
ꢅ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or
other component in your stereo system
that becomes hot in use.
ꢅ Use near a television or monitor as you may
experience interference—especially if the
television uses an indoor antenna.
ꢅ Use in a kitchen or other room where the
system may be exposed to smoke or steam.
ꢅ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of
the system unit.

while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest
Pioneer authorized service center or your
dealer for a replacement.
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.

performance. For this reason you should leave
it to adjust to the warmer temperature for
about an hour before switching on and using.
Cleaning the exterior
Moving the system unit
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.
If you need to move the main unit, first remove
all discs, then press ꢂ STANDBY/ON on the
front panel to turn the system off. Wait for
Good Bye to disappear from the display, then
unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the
system during playback—discs rotate at a high
speed and may be damaged.
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.
• Unplugging the system before Good Bye
disappears from the display may cause the
system to return to the factory settings.
Power cord caution
Make sure to unplug the unit when cleaning.
Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not
pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never

AC adapter 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.
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 Transmitter on
page 29) for better reception.
• 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.
• Cordless phones
• Wireless broadband routers
• Wireless AV equipment
• Microwave-based health aids
• Microwave ovens
•
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.

Radio wave reflections
The radio waves received by the receiver
include the radio wave coming directly from
the transmitter (direct wave) and waves
coming from various directions due to
reflections by walls, furniture and building
(reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to
obstacles and reflecting objects) further
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
• 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.

Additional information
• 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.
• 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.
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:
• We do not assume any liability for the
damages incurred due to improper use of
the product by the user or third party,
malfunction during use, other troubles or
use of the product, unless indemnity for
damages is admitted by the law.
• In reinforced concrete buildings or homes
made of metallic structural members.
• Near large metallic furniture.
• In a crowd of people or near a building or
obstacle.
Static electricity
• If you live in a heavily populated residential
area (apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if
your neighbor's microwave is placed near
your system, you may experience radio
wave interference or no sound from the
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.
Static electricity or other external influence
may cause malfunctioning of this unit. In this
case, unplugging the power cord and then re-
plugging it in will usually reset the unit for
proper operation. If this does not correct the
problem, please consult your nearest Pioneer
service center.
For safety in operation
Do not use the system in the proximity of
electronic equipment that requires high-
accuracy 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.

received.
• 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 system 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 a separately purchased
transmitter and wireless speaker.
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 the radio waves (within
10m) from the transmitter.
• The system is being used in a location with radio wave interference or
electrical noise. If so, the unit may need to be relocated.
Audio is suddenly
interrupted.
• 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 or microwave oven, operating nearby.

Additional information
Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are
shown with the left and right sides cropped.
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t
actually see the whole picture.
Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in several different
screen aspects, ranging from TV programs,
which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope
widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up
to about 7:3.
Televisions also come in different aspect
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.
Please note that many widescreen discs
override the system’s settings so that the disc
is shown in letterbox format regardless of the
setting.
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen
setting (page 70) of this system should be set
to 16:9 (Wide).
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.
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a
standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings
with a widescreen TV, will result in a
distorted picture.
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are
wider than 16:9, so even though you have a
widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a
‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen.
Selecting languages using the
language code list
Some of the language options allow you to set
your preferred language from any of the 136
languages listed in the Language code list on
page 89.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting
(page 70) of this system should be set to 4:3
(Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on
which you prefer.
