This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

  • Start your volume control at a low setting.
  • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

  • Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel

Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

Caution

  • The metal catch is not a mounting fixture, and the speaker should not be hung directly from the wall using this catch. Always use a chain or cord when stabilizing the speaker.
  • Pioneer disclaims all responsibility for any losses or damage resulting from improper assembly, installation, insufficient strength of the installation materials, misuse, or natural disasters.

4 Connect the speaker system.

Refer to Connecting up to connect the speakers properly. After connecting everything, place the speakers as shown in the diagram above for optimal surround sound.

PIONEER HTS560DV - Connect the speaker system. - 1

After placing the speakers, run the Auto MCACC setup (page 20) to complete your surround sound setup.

Wall mounting the center speaker

The center speaker has a mounting hole which can be used to mount the speaker on the wall.

PIONEER HTS560DV - Wall mounting the center speaker - 1
5 mm to 7 mm (3/16 in. to 1/4 in.)

PIONEER HTS560DV - Wall mounting the center speaker - 2

Caution

If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the wall, consult a professional for advice.
- Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

Before mounting

  • 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 wall material and support the weight of the speaker.

Additional notes on speaker placement

Install the main front left and right speakers at an 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.

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.
  • The front (L/R), center and surround (L/R) 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 min to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.
  • 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.
  • Do not attach the front, surround speakers and receiver subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.
  • For safety, make sure that there is no exposed bare speaker wire outside of the speaker terminals.
  • Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.
  • Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied to this system.

5 Repeat steps 3 and 4 to make other settings.

6 When you're done, press SHIFT+ENTER to leave the SR+ setup menu.

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).

Note

This system is compatible with all Pioneer plasma displays from 2003 onward.
2 The 3-ringed SR + cable from Pioneer is commercially available under the part number ADE7095. Contact the Pioneer Customer Support division for more information on obtaining an SR+ cable.
3 You won't be able to use the remote sensor of this unit with the CONTROL IN jack of this unit connected to the CONTROL OUT jack of your plasma display. You can use the remote sensor of the plasma display (even in standby) as long as the power isn't switched off.

VOL.C ON- When this unit is switched on, or the input function is changed, the volume on the plasma display is muted so only sound from this unit is heard.
VOL.COMF - This unit does not control the volume of the plasma display

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.

For example, if you connected your DVD player to the DVD 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 to watch your DVD player, the plasma display will automatically switch to input 2.

For each receiver subwoofer input function (DVD, DTV, PC(PC/GAME), AUX) you can select:

  • NONE - does not switch the plasma display input
  • 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

PIONEER HTS560DV - Automatic plasma display input switching - 1

Note

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.
- The SR+ setting remains in effect even in standby.
- The SR+ setting does not affect the FM/AM tuning function.

Using the SR + mode with a Pioneer plasma display

1 Press SHIFT+SR+ on the remote.

2 Use SHIFT+ / (cursor left/right) to select SR+ ON then press SHIFT+ 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 SR + OFF .

PIONEER HTS560DV - Use SHIFT+ / (cursor left/right) to select SR+ ON then press SHIFT+ ENTER. - 1

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.

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.

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.

- Connect the CONTROL IN jack on another Pioneer component to the CONTROL OUT jack on the receiver subwoofer.

This will allow you to control the other component (such as a DVD recorder in a cabinet) by pointing its remote at the display unit supplied with this receiver subwoofer.

  • 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.

Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the connection.

Troubleshooting

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.

General

ProblemRemedy
The power does not turn on, or switches off suddenly (an error message may be displayed at startup).·Leave the unit plugged in, wait for one minute, then switch back on. ·Make sure there are no loose strands of wire touching the unit. This could cause the system to shut off automatically. ·Check that the speakers are connected correctly. ·Make sure there is enough space for ventilation around the receiver subwoofer. ·Make sure the voltage of the mains power source is correct for the model. ·Try reducing the volume level. ·If the problem persists, take it to your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for servicing.
No sound is output when an input function is selected.·If you're playing from the DVD player, make sure that the digital coaxial cable is connected properly. Also make sure that the DVD player's Digital Out and DTS Out settings are set to On, and that the MPEG Out setting is set to MPEG → PCM. ·If you're using the line input, make sure the component is connected correctly (see Connecting auxiliary components on page 29). ·Turn up the volume. ·Press MUTE on the remote control to turn muted off.
No sound from surround or center speakers.·Refer to Channel level setting on page 27 to check the speaker levels. ·Check that you haven't selected the AUTO, STEREO, or VIRTUAL mode (see Listening in surround sound on page 22). ·Connect the speakers properly (refer to Connecting up). ·If you're playing from the DVD player, check that the Dolby Digital Out setting is set to Dolby Digital. ·If the source is 96 kHz, this will be played in stereo. If you want to play it in surround sound, set the DVD player's 96 kHz PCM Out setting to 96 kHz → 48 kHz.
Can't operate using the remote control.·Replace the batteries (Putting the batteries in the remote control on page 16). ·Operate within 23 ft., 30° of the remote sensor (Using the remote control on page 16). ·Remove any obstacles or operate from another position. ·Avoid exposing the remote sensor on the front panel to direct light. ·For operating the DVD recorder or other Pioneer component connected to the CONTROL OUT jack of this receiver subwoofer, make sure that the control cable and coaxial cable or at least one set of analog audio cables are connected. (page 31) ·If the receiver subwoofer is connected to a Pioneer plasma display with an SR+ cable, check that the plasma display is switched on. Point the remote control at the plasma display in order to operate the receiver subwoofer. ·Check that nothing is mistakenly plugged into the CONTROL IN jack.

Tuner

ProblemRemedy
Considerable noise in radio broadcasts.·Connect the AM antenna (refer to the Connecting up) and adjust the direction and position for best reception. You may also connect an additional internal or external AM antenna (refer to Connecting external antennas on page 29). ·Fully extend the FM wire antenna, position for best reception, and secure to a wall. You may also connect an outdoor FM antenna (see Connecting external antennas on page 29). ·Turn off other equipment that may be causing the noise or move it further away.
Auto tuning does not pick up some stations.·The radio signal is weak. Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a good signal. For more sensitive tuning, connect an outdoor antenna.
