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.
Subwoofer
Listening position
• 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.

• Front surround 3-spot 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 to take
• For the best stereo effect, place the front
speakers 6–9 ft. / 2–3 m apart, at 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.

surround speakers slightly above ear level,
if possible.

• 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.

• The front, center and surround 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.
• 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.
• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded
and so should not be placed near a TV or
monitor.
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.
Wall-mounting the surround speaker
system
Before mounting
• 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.
• Do not connect a VCR between this system
and your TV as DVD playback will be
affected.
•
Use the supplied video cable to connect
the VIDEO OUT jack to a video input on
your TV.
• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use
screws that are suitable for the wall
material and that will support the weight of
the speaker.

video input (not a TV channel). For
example, if you connected this system to
the VIDEO 1 input on your TV, switch your
TV to VIDEO 1.

The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to
listen to any source as it was mastered: the
output from the speakers mirrors the channels
from the source material.

The diagram below shows the various DVD
regions of the world.
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.
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).
Handling discs
When holding discs of any type, take care not
to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the
disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the
center hole and edge.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If

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:
Problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the system unit
if it is brought into a warm room from outside,
or if the temperature of the room rises quickly.
Although the condensation won’t damage the
system, it may temporarily impair its

appliances.
Moving the system unit
If you need to move the main unit, first remove
all discs, then press ꢃ 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.
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
environment.
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.
• Unplugging the system before Good Bye
disappears from the display may cause the
system to return to the factory settings.
ꢅ Use in a kitchen or other room where the
system may be exposed to smoke or steam.
Power cord caution
ꢅ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of
the system unit.
Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not
pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never

piece of furniture, or other object on the power
cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never
make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cord should be routed so that
they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged
power cord can cause a fire or give you an
electric shock. Check the power cord once in a
while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest
Pioneer authorized service center or your
dealer for a replacement.

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 63) 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 78.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting
(page 63) of this system should be set to 4:3
