Speaker Setup Guide
Home theater sound setup
Depending on the size and characteristics of your room, you can place your speakers in one of two ways using this system. For the speaker configuration, see the Setup Guide.
5 spot/4 spot speaker layout
This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.
3 spot/2 spot speaker layout
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.
Preparing the speakers
Preparation common to all models
Attaching non-skid pads
- Attach the smaller non-skid pads to the base of each of the speakers. The four large non-skid pads are for the subwoofer.
Use the supplied adhesive to attach 3 or 4 pads to the base (flat surface) of each speaker.
Preparation for the HTZ280DVD/ HTZ280DVD-AP/HTZ282DVD/ HTZ282DVD-AP
The layouts of the 5-spot speaker and 3-spot speaker are the same:
Assembling the speaker stands
- Attach the speaker stand bases to the stems using the screws provided.
Once you have aligned the stem and base, secure with the small screws at the points see the Setup Guide. Note that the speaker should face in the direction of the base of the isosceles triangle.
CAUTION
- Be careful not to tighten screws excessively.
- If excessive force is used to tighten screws, the threads of screw and/or nut may be damaged. Use a middle-sized manual screwdriver during assembly.
- Do not use power screwdrivers or oversized screwdrivers that may exert excessive force on the screws and nuts.
- Confirm that no foreign matter is stuck to the stand base or the tall speaker during assembly.
- If the unit is assembled with foreign matter stuck between the stand base and the tall speaker the unit may not be assembled securely, resulting in tipping or falling.
- Do not stand on the speaker stand base of the tall speaker to push or swing the speaker. The speaker may fall and break, or someone may be injured. Pay special attention to children.
Securing your front and surround speakers
- Secure each of the front and surround speakers using the plastic catch provided.
Screw two supporting hooks into the wall behind the speaker. Pass a thick cord around the hooks and through the plastic catch so that the speaker is stabilized (make sure to test that it supports the weight of the speaker). After installing, make sure the speaker is securely fixed.
Plastic catch
Speaker Setup Guide
CAUTION
- The plastic catch is not a mounting fixture, and the speaker should not be hung directly from the wall using this catch. Always use a 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.
- When placing this unit, ensure that it is firmly secured and avoid areas where it may be likely to fall and cause injury in the event of a natural disaster (such as an earthquake).
Preparation only for the HTZ181DVD Stack the speakers and fix the brackets
Each speaker is provided with a color-coded indicator on the model label on the rear side to assist identification. Refer to the color indicators and install the speakers correctly. As shown in the illustration, stack the speakers. 1 Align the bracket with the respective upper and lower screw holes as shown in each figure below and fasten the screws securely.
4 spot/3 spot speaker layout:
2 spot speaker layout:
CAUTION
- Do not attempt to carry the speakers when they are connected with the bracket. Doing so may cause damage to the bracket or worsen damage to the bracket and speakers in the event they are dropped.
Wall mounting the speakers
For the HTZ180DVD, the front and surround speaker have mounting brackets. For the HTZ181DVD, the front, center and surround speaker have mounting brackets. For the HTZ280DVD/280DVD-AP, the center and surround speaker have mounting holes. For the HTZ282DVD/HTZ282DVD-AP, only the center speaker has a mounting hole.
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
Note
1 When using the Front Surround mode, do not stack the surround speakers, but place them beside the front speaker and face them about 60 degrees outward from the front speaker to obtain the best sound effect.
Speaker Setup Guide
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.
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.
Attaching the brackets only for the HTZ180/181DVD
- Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as securely as possible when attaching the bracket to the back of the speaker.
- Please do not attach the brackets to the center speaker.
Additional notes on speaker placement
• Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.
- When using the 5 spot speaker layout, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level for optimum effect.
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.
• 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 case 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 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 center speaker (only of the HTZ180DVD) the front (of the HTZ280/282DVD)/surround speaker (only of the HTZ282DVD) and subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.
- Do not place the surround speaker on the top of the front speaker, as it may injure someone in the event that it falls (only for the HTZ280DVD).
Connecting up
Chapter 2

Using and taking care of discs
Handling discs
Hold the disc by its edges when handling so as not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on either side of the disc. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance.
If a disc becomes marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth.
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes. Don't wipe the disc surface with circular strokes.
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 such as those designed for cleaning vinyl records.
Storing discs
Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight). 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.
Additional information
Discs to avoid
Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using it in your player — you could end up damaging the unit.
This unit is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.
DVD Video regions
All DVD Video discs carry a region mark that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. Your DVD system also has a region mark (on the rear panel). Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this player. Discs marked ALL play in any player.
When you insert a disc that cannot be played on this player, one of the following messages is displayed:
Incompatible disc region number
Can't play disc
Installation and maintenance
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 location:
Do...
√ Use in a well-ventilated room.
√ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
Don't...
✗ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
✗ Place on a window sill or other place where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.
✗ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
✗ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.
✗ Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference — especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
✗ Use in a kitchen or other room where the system may be exposed to smoke or steam.
✗ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth — this may prevent proper cooling of the system unit.
✗ Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the system unit's feet.
Cleaning the pickup lens
The DVD player's lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.
Problems with condensation
Condensation may form inside the player 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 player, it may temporarily impair performance. Leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before switching on.
Moving the system unit
If you need to move the main unit, first remove a disc if there's one in the player, then press ⏻ STANDBY/ON on the front panel to turn the system off. Wait for -OFF- to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cord. 1 Never lift or move the unit during playback — discs rotate at high speeds and may damage.
Note
Unplugging the unit before -OFF- disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings.
Additional information
Screen sizes and disc formats
DVD-Video discs come in different screen aspects, ranging from TV programs, which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope widescreen movies 1 , with an aspect ratio of up to about 7:3. Televisions also come in different aspect ratios; 'standard' 4:3 and widescreen 16:9. 2
Widescreen TV users
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen setting (page 35) of this player should be set to 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed).
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format with the 16:9 (Wide) setting, 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.
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 'letter box' style with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen.
Standard TV users
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting (page 35) of this player should be set to 4:3 (Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan & Scan), depending on which you prefer.
Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are shown with black bars top and bottom.
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.
Please note that many widescreen discs override the player's setting so that the disc is shown in letter box format regardless of the setting.
TV system setting
The default setting of this system is AUTO, and unless you notice that the picture is distorted when playing some discs, you should leave it set to AUTO. If you find picture distortion with some discs, set the TV system to match your country or region's system. However, this may restrict the kinds of disc you can watch. See the table for the kinds of discs compatible with each setting (AUTO, PAL and NTSC). 3
1 P r SHIFT+SETUP.
2 U ←/→ to select SYS SET then press ENTER.
3 U ←/→ to choose TV SYS then press ENTER.
The TV system changes as follows:
- AUTO → NTSC
- NTSC → PAL
- PAL → AUTO
Note
1 Many widescreen discs override the system's settings so that the disc is shown in letterbox format regardless of the setting.
2 Using the 16:9 (Wide) or 16:9 (Compressed) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in picture distortion.
3 Most models of the newly developed countdown PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz (NTSC) and automatically switch vertical amplitude, resulting in a display without vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases, the image may appear without color. If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control, you may not be able to watch NTSC discs because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling. On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically, leaving black bands at the top and bottom of the screen.
