To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the

direction indicated by the arrow (fig. A) then

clip the loop onto the stand (fig. B).

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

surface and point in the direction

giving the best reception.

Wall mounting the speakers

All the speakers (except the subwoofer, which should be placed

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

Subwoofer

wall material and support the weight of 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.

Caution

Using the remote control

The remote control can be used within a range of about

23 feet 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.

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.

Attach the smaller

non-skid pads to the

base of the front

and center speakers

and to the speaker

stands. The four

Front speakers

large non-skid pads

are for the

subwoofer.

Use the supplied adhesive

to attach 4 pads to the

base (flat surface) of each

speaker or stand.

Attach the surround speakers to

the speaker stands.

For each speaker, line up the spurs on the

stand with the holes on the back of the

speaker and insert, then secure the speaker

to the stand with the screw provided.

Connect the speaker system.

Refer to the Setting up your DVD/CD Receiver (the other part of this setup guide) to

connect the speakers properly. Place them as shown in the diagram above for optimal

surround sound.

Turn the speakers as shown, following the guide marks for optimal

Front Surround.

Turn each surround speaker so that the guide markers on the stand base are lined up

horizontally in the direction the listening position (see below). This is only necessary

when you are using the Front Surround mode (MODE ON). See the operating

instructions for more on using Front Surround.

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 3-spot 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.

• For optimum effect, place the rear speakers slightly above ear

level.

• 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

happens case, 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 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 subwoofer.

• Do not attach the subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may

fall off and cause injury.
