Ideally, the other speakers should be at about earlevel 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 mp : For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV. I you're going to place speakers around your CRTTV, use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRTTV If you're using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. I not, place them at a narrower angle. Place the center speaker above or below the TV so thatthe sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms. Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher than your ears and'titted slightly downward. Make sure the speakers don't face each other. Far DVD Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home theater playback Try notto place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect. Connecting the speakers Each speaker connection on the receiver com prises a positive (+) and negative (-) terminal. Make sure to match these up with the terminals on the speakers themselves. À caurion +_ These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts. Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is tisted together and inserted fully into the speakerterminal. any ofthe bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure. Bare wire connections À caurion Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. 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. 1 Twist exposed wire strands together. 2 Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire. 3 Tighten terminal.

_11} The Advanced MCACC menu The Advanced MCACC menu Making receiver settings from the Advanced MCACC menu The Advanced MCACC (Multi Channel ACoustic Calibration) system was developed in Pioneer's laboratories with the aim of making it possible for home users to perform adjustments ofthe same level as in a studio easily and with high precision. The acoustic characteristics of the listening environment are measured and the frequency response is calibrated accordingly to allow high precision, automatic analysis and optimal calibration of the sound field to bring it closer to a studio environment than ever before. Furthermore, while it was previously difficult to eliminate standing waves, this receiver is equipped with a standing wave control function using a unique process to perform acoustic analysis and reduce their influence. This section describes how to calibrate the sound field automatically and fine-adjust the sound field data manually. 1 Press © RECEIVER to switch on the receiver and your TV.
