Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified  
service personnel.  
IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG  
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the  
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.  
Check for the ASTA mark  
or the BSI mark  
on the body of the fuse.  
If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug  
must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.  
If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of  
safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.  
If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.  
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:  
Blue : Neutral Brown : Live  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in  
your plug, proceed as follows ;  
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the  
letter N or coloured BLACK.  
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the  
letter L or coloured RED.  
How to replace the fuse: Open the fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse.

Safety precautions when setting up  
Home theater sound setup  
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.  
Depending on the size and characteristics of your room,  
you can place your speakers in one of two ways using this  
system:

Front surround setup  
This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker  
placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running  
long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup  
together with the Front Surround modes in page 19 to  
take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very  
realistic surround effect.

Turn each surround speaker so that the ꢀ arrow at the  
base is lined up with the ꢁFRONT SURROUND arrow on  
the front speaker. This is only necessary with the  
FRTMOVIE or FRTMUSIC modes. With EXTPOWER  
(Extra Power), line up the ꢀ arrow with the ꢁ EXTRA  
POWER arrow (the surround speakers should be in the  
same direction as the front speakers.). See Using Front  
Surround on page 19 for more on this.

Secure the speaker wire.  
• To prevent accidents, make sure the surround  
speaker is placed securely on top of the front  
speaker.  
After testing for the slack necessary to turn the speaker  
(see the following step), use the groove provided to  
secure the speaker wire as shown. Leave 5 cm of slack  
from the speaker terminals so the upper (surround)  
speaker can turn freely.  
• Please don't attach the speakers to the wall or  
speaker stands for Front surround setup.

Caution  
Wall mounting the front and surround  
speaker system  
• If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the  
wall, consult a professional for advice.  
The front and surround speakers have holes for wall  
mounting. However, if you are using the Front Surround  
setup described on the previous page, do not wall mount  
the surround speakers.  
• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or  
damage that result from improper installation.  
Attaching the brackets  
Additional notes on speaker placement  
• Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as securely  
as possible when attaching the bracket to the back of  
the speaker.  
• Install the main front left and right speakers at an  
equal distance from the TV.  
• For optimum effect, install the surround speakers  
slightly above ear level.  
• Please do not attach the brackets to the center  
speaker.  
• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so  
that the sound of the center channel is localized at  
the TV screen.  
• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV,  
be sure to secure it with suitable means. Otherwise,  
the speaker may fall from the TV due to external  
shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those  
nearby or damaging the speaker.  
• This 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  
happens, turn the power switch of the television set  
OFF, and turn it ON after 15 to 30 minutes. If the  
problem persists, place the speaker system away  
from the television set.  
Bracket screw (supplied)  
5 mm  
10 mm  
• The receiver subwoofer is not magnetically shielded  
and so should not be 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 receiver subwoofer.  
Mounting screw  
(not supplied)  
Caution  
• Do not attach the center speaker or the receiver  
subwoofer to the wall or ceiling; they could cause  
injury if they fell.  
5 mm to 7 mm  
Before mounting  
• Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other  
amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.  
• 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.  
• Do not connect any speakers other than those  
supplied to this system.  
• For safety, make sure that there is no exposed bare  
speaker wire outside of the speaker terminals.  
• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that  
are suitable for the wall material and that will support  
the weight of the speaker.

Automatic plasma display volume muting  
When Volume Control is switched on, the volume of the  
plasma display is automatically muted when the receiver  
subwoofer is switched on, or the receiver subwoofer’s  
input function is changed to one that you would want to  
hear the sound from the receiver subwoofer rather than  
the plasma display (DVD, for example).  
• With an SR+ cable connected, the remote must now  
be pointed towards your plasma display rather than  
the display unit of the receiver subwoofer in order to  
control the receiver subwoofer.

Use a 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable to connect the  
CONTROL IN jack of this unit (through a media  
receiver, if applicable) to the CONTROL OUT jack of

Note  
1 This system is compatible with all Pioneer plasma displays from 2003 onward.

Automatic plasma display input switching  
In order that the plasma display can switch automatically  
to the correct input when you switch the input function of  
the receiver subwoofer, you need to tell it how your  
system is connected.  
Note  
• You can control this unit with the plasma display’s  
remote sensor even in standby, but you can’t control  
this unit with either this unit’s remote sensor or the  
plasma display’s remote sensor when the plasma  
display is switched off (AC off) and the SR+ cable is  
connected to the CONTROL IN jack of this unit.  
For example, if you connected your DVD recorder to the  
DVD/DVR input on the receiver subwoofer, and to input  
2 on your plasma display, select the DVD PDP2 setting  
here so that when you switch the input function of the  
receiver subwoofer to DVD/DVR to watch your DVD  
recorder, the plasma display will automatically switch to  
input 2.  
About the control out jack  
Many Pioneer components have SR CONTROL jacks  
which can be used to link components together so that  
you can use just the remote sensor of one component.  
When you use a remote control, the control signal is  
passed along the chain to the appropriate component.  
For each receiver subwoofer input function (XBX (Xbox  
360), DVD (DVD/DVR), DIG (DIGITAL), ANA (ANALOG))  
you can select:  
• NONE – does not switch the plasma display input  
Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you also  
have at least one set of analog or coaxial digital audio  
jacks connected to another component for grounding  
purposes.  
• PDP1 to PDP5 – switches the plasma display input to  
one of the numbered inputs (1 to 5)  
• TVTN – switches the plasma display to its built-in TV  
tuner  
•
Connect the CONTROL IN jack on another Pioneer  
component to the CONTROL OUT jack on the  
receiver subwoofer.  
Note  
This will allow you to control the other component (such  
as a DVD player in a cabinet) by pointing its remote at the  
display unit supplied with this receiver subwoofer.  
• The number of video inputs available will depend on  
the plasma display you’ve connected.  
• The PDP5 input may be called ‘PC Input’ (or similar)  
on your plasma display.  
• You can also connect this receiver subwoofer to your  
plasma display as described above, in which case  
you should point the remote at the plasma display to  
control your DVD player, receiver subwoofer, and  
plasma display.  
• The SR+ setting remains in effect even in standby.  
• The SR+ setting does not affect the FM/AM tuner  
function.  
Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the  
connection.  
Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer plasma  
display  
1
Press SR+ on the remote.

Use ꢀ/ꢁ (cursor left/right) to select SR+ ON  
then press ENTER.  
• The SR+ setting is maintained even after switching  
the receiver subwoofer into standby then back on.  
Automatic muting and input switching will be  
effective when the receiver subwoofer is switched on.  
• If you disconnect the SR+ cable or switch the plasma  
display off while SR+ is on, the SR+ ON setting  
remains.  
• To switch to SR+ OFF, follow steps 1 and 2, selecting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with  
this component, check the points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Investigate the other  
components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks  
listed below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.  
• If the system does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect the plug from  
the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.  
• For audio-related problems, please also check the settings of the audio playback device. See the operating  
instructions for the device for detailed information.
