Speaker Setup Guide

Safety precautions when setting up

When assembling the speakers, lay them down flat on their side to avoid accidents or injury. Make sure to use a stable surface when assembling, setting up, and placing the speakers.

If the speakers are to be used in a stacked configuration, always use the provided brackets to secure them together (page 5.6).

Home theater sound setup

Most 5.1 channel home theater systems are designed so that speakers are placed to surround the listener's position as shown in the illustration. Such designs, however, produce the undesirable effect of forcing the center speaker to be mounted above or below the television monitor, and require room for the surround speakers.

graph TD
    A["Front left"] --> B["Center"]
    B --> C["Front right"]
    C --> D["Bass"]
    E["Surround left"] --> F["Surround right"]
    G["Surround right"] --> H["Surround left"]

The present system, however, features Pioneer's proprietary New Front Surround technology and Dual Center Speakers, using only two speaker positions (to right and left of television as shown in the illustration) in order to provide full home theater sound while greatly simplifying the issue of speaker placement.

Front surround setup (recommended)

This recommended method places the surround speakers in front, to simplify the issue of speaker placement in the room. The center speakers can be placed in independently in the center if desired.

Speaker Setup Guide

Wall mounting the speakers

The front, center and surround speakers have a mounting hole which can be used to mount the speaker on the wall.

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.

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.

Additional notes on speaker placement

• Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.
- When using the Front surround setup, separate the left and right speakers by about 1.5m for optimum effect.
- When using the Standard surround setup, 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.
• The front (x2), center (x2) and surround (x2) 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 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.

The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, and testing for channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided, the system uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration EQ) for your particular room. ^1

Important

• The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup are loud; however, do not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a sub-optimal setup.
• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the MCACC setup.

1 Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on the rear panel.

2 Place the microphone at your normal listening position.

Place the mic horizontally about ear level at your normal listening position using a table or chair.

Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.

3 If the receiver subwoofer is off, press ⏻ STANDBY/ON to turn the power on.

4 Press MCACC

Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing MCACC. The volume increases automatically and the system outputs a series of test tones.

• To cancel Auto MCACC setup before it has finished, press MCACC The unit will continue to use the previous settings.
• If the ambient noise level is too high, NOISY blinks in the display for five seconds. To exit and check the noise levels ^2 , press MCACC, or to try again, press ENTER when RETRY shows in the display.
• If you see an ERR MIC or ERR SP message in the display, there may be a problem with your mic or the speaker connections. To try again, press ENTER when you see RETRY. ^3

When the MCACC setup is complete, the volume level returns to normal, COMPLETE ^4 shows in the display, and Acoustic Calibration EQ is activated. ^5

Note

You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you change the placement of your speakers or your room layout).
2 • If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary.
- Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during Auto MCACC setup.
3 If this doesn't work, press MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the ERR message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again.
4 If COMPLETE doesn't appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.

Other connections

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 DV1 input on the receiver subwoofer, and to input 2 on your plasma display, select the DV1 PDP2 setting here so that when you switch the input function of the receiver subwoofer to DV1 to watch your DVD player, the plasma display will automatically switch to input 2.

For each receiver subwoofer input function (DV1 (DVD/DVR1), DV2 (DVD/DVR2), DIG (DIGITAL), ANA (ANALOG)) you can select:

• NONE – does not switch the plasma display input
• PDP1 to PDP7 – switches the plasma display input to one of the numbered inputs. (Note that the number displayed may vary depending on the plasma display to which you connect this unit.)
• TVTN – switches the plasma display to its built-in TV tuner

Note

• Note that certain PDP inputs (ex. PDP7) may be referred to on your plasma display as 'PC Input'.
• The SR+ setting remains in effect even in standby.
• The SR+ setting does not affect the FM/AM tuner function.

Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer plasma display

1 Press SR+ on the remote.

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

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 control out connections

Many Pioneer components support SR CONTROL connections, by which you can use the remote controls of any connected components by aiming them at the sensor of just one component.

When you use a remote control, the control signal is passed along the chain to the appropriate component. If you choose to use this feature, you must make sure that you also have at least one set of analog or coaxial digital audio jacks connected to another component for grounding purposes.

- Using a cable with mono mini-plugs on either side (sold separately), 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.

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

Problem	Remedy
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 using the line input, make sure the component is connected correctly (see Connecting auxiliary components on page 23).Turn up the volume.PressMUTEon the remote control to turn muting off.
No sound from surround or center speakers.	Refer to Channel level setting on page 21 to check the speaker levels.Check that you haven't selected the AUTO, STEREO, or VIRTUAL mode (see Listening in surround sound on page 16).Connect the speakers properly (refer to Connecting up).
Can't operate using the remote control.	Replace the batteries (Putting the batteries in the remote control on page 14).Operate within 7 m, 30° of the remote sensor (Using the remote control on page 14).Remove any obstacles or operate from another position.Avoid exposing the remote sensor on the front panel to direct light.For operating the other Pioneer component connected to the CONTROL OUTjack 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 25)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.

Additional information

Tuner

Problem	Remedy
Considerable noise in radio broadcasts.	Connect the AM antenna (refer to 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 23).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 23).Turn off other equipment that may be causing the noise or move it further away.The tuning interval is incorrect for your country or region. See Changing the frequency step on page 20 to switch the tuning interval.
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.
