Chapter 1 Getting started

Home theater sound setup

After setting up your front speakers as shown below, refer to the supplied setup guide, or Using the wireless speaker system on page 10 for more wireless speaker placement options.

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup:

Front left Center Front right Subwoofer Listening position Wireless speaker

Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound

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 with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization (Acoustic Calibration EQ) for your particular room. ^1

PIONEER S-DV535 - Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound - 1

Important

• These test tones can be loud, so take care that there is no one in the room who will be startled by the noise.

  • Make sure the mic and speakers are not moved during the MCACC setup.
  • The MCACC setup is not possible if the wireless speaker mode is set to Stereo or Off (see Using the wireless speaker system on page 10 for more on this).
  • To access green functions on the remote, move the slider switch from MAIN to SUB.

Tip

- The button guide at the bottom of every OSD screen shows you which buttons you'll need to use for that screen.

Note

1 • If the room environment is not optimal for the auto surround 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 when doing the auto surround setup.
2 If this doesn't work, press MCACC SET UP, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the Err message, then try the auto surround setup again.
3 If Complete doesn't appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.
4 See Listening with Acoustic Calibration EQ on page 13 for more on this.
5 If you unplug the system from the wall outlet, or there is a power outage, you will need to set the clock again.
6 The screen saver will appear after five minutes of inactivity.

1 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.

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.

PIONEER S-DV535 - Handling discs - 1

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.

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.

Note

1 • For external subtitle files the following subtitle format filename extensions are supported (please note that these files are not shown within the disc navigation menu): .srt, .sub, .ssa, .smi
- Some external subtitle files may be displayed incorrectly or not at all.
- The filename of the movie file has to be repeated at the beginning of the filename for the external subtitle file.
- The number of external subtitle files which can be switched for the same movie file is limited to a maximum of 10.

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.

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 this won't damage the player, it may temporarily impair performance. You should 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 Good Bye 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.

Resetting the system

Use this procedure to reset all system settings to the factory default.

1 Switch the system into standby.
2 Press and hold the front panel ■ (stop) button for about 8 seconds until the display shows 'Mem.Clr?'.

3 Press the front panel ▶/Ⅱ button.

Wireless speaker system maintenance and precautions

Cleaning the exterior

  • Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth.
  • Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since they will corrode the surface.

  • If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth.

  • Make sure to unplug the unit when cleaning.

AC adaptor and power cord caution

  • Do not leave the power cord near heating equipment. The coating of the cord may melt, which could lead to fire and/or electrocution.
  • Make sure to grasp the body of the AC adaptor when removing it from the power outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may become damaged which could lead to fire and/or electrocution.
  • Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC adaptor with wet hands. This may result in electrocution.
  • Insert the prongs of the AC adaptor all the way into the power outlet. If the connection is incomplete, heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Furthermore, contact with the connected prongs of the adaptor may result in electrocution.
  • Do not insert the AC adaptor into a power outlet where the connection remains loose despite inserting the prongs all the way into the outlet. Heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Consult with the retailer or an electrician regarding replacement of the power outlet.

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) setting with a standard 4:3 TV, or one of the 4:3 settings with a widescreen TV, will result in distortion.
- When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format, 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.
- Some movie aspect ratios are wider than 16:9, so even with a widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a 'letterbox' style.

Moving the wireless speaker

If you need to move the wireless speaker, first press POWER on the top panel to turn the unit off, then unplug the power cord.

Radio wave reflections

The radio waves received by the wireless speaker include the radio wave coming directly from the transmitter (direct wave) and waves coming from various directions due to reflections by walls, furniture and building (reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to obstacles and reflecting objects) further produce a variety of reflected waves as well as variation in reception condition depending on locations. If the audio cannot be received properly due to this phenomenon, try moving the location of the wireless speaker a little. Also note that audio may be interrupted due to the reflected waves when a person crosses or approaches the space between the transmitter and wireless speaker.

Radio wave caution

This wireless speaker system uses a 2.4GHz radio wave frequency, which is a band used by other wireless systems (see list below). To prevent noise or interrupted communication, do not use this system nearby such devices, or make sure these devices are switched off during use. You can also try switching the channel on the transmitter (see Transmitter on page 38) for better reception. ^1

  • Cordless phones
  • Cordless FAX units
  • Wireless broadband routers
  • Wireless AV equipment
    • Microwave-based health aids

  • Microwave ovens

  • Wireless controllers for game systems
  • Bluetooth equipment
  • Some baby monitors

Other, less common, equipment that may operate on the same frequency:

  • Anti-theft systems
  • Warehouse logistic management systems
  • Amateur radio stations (HAM)
    • Discrimination systems for train or emergency vehicles

Scope of operation

Use of this equipment is limited to home use. (Transmission distances may be reduced depending on communication environments.) In the following locations, poor condition or inability to receive radio waves may cause the audio to be interrupted or stopped:

  • In reinforced concrete buildings or steel-framed or iron-framed buildings.
    • Near large metallic furniture.
  • In a crowd of people or near a building or obstacle.
  • In a location exposed to the magnetic field, static electricity or radio wave interference from radio communication equipment using the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this system, such as a Bluetooth device, radio LAN device or microwave oven.
  • If you live in a heavily populated residential area (apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if your neighbor's microwave is placed near your system, you may experience radio wave interference or no sound from the

Note

1 • If there is something obstructing the path between the transmitter and the wireless speaker (such as a metal door, concrete wall, or insulation containing tinfoil), you may need to change the location of your system to prevent signal noise and interruptions.
- If the transmitter is used near A/V equipment with an antenna input terminal, such as a TV, VCR, BS tuner or CS tuner, you may experience noise interference on a TV near the transmitter. In such cases, place the transmitter at a larger distance from the antenna input terminal of the A/V equipment.

Additional information

speaker. If this occurs, move your unit to a different place. When the microwave is not in use, there will be no radio wave interference.

For safety in operation

Do not use the system in the proximity of electronic equipment that requires high-accuracy control or handling of very low-level signals, such as:

- Hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, other electrical medical equipment, fire alarms, automatic doors, and other automated control equipment.

The system may affect the electronic equipment, causing malfunction or accident.

- If you use a pacemaker or other electrical medical equipment, consult the manufacturer or dealer to check the effects of radio waves on it.

Do not use the system in places where its use is prohibited, for example near aircraft equipment and in hospitals.

Problem Remedy

Audio is interrupted.This system uses high frequency radio waves that have properties similar to light, such as linearity, reflection, refraction, diffraction, and interference. Therefore, placement of the system can result in weak radio waves and/or interruption.The distance between the transmitter and wireless speaker may be too large. Use the wireless speaker within the reach of radio wave from the transmitter.The system may be close to a location generating electrical noise. If this is the case, find a location that does not affect the sound adversely.
Audio is suddenly interrupted.There may be radio communication equipment using the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this system, such as a Bluetooth device, radio LAN device, cordless phone or microwave oven, operating nearby.
Audio cannot be received.The radio wave reception is variable depending on locations due to the effects of obstacles and reflecting objects. Try changing the location of the wireless speaker a little.The transmitter and wireless speaker are designed and sold as a pair, and they identify each other in communication. This means that communication is not available between separately purchased transmitter and wireless speaker.
Horizontal stripe noise interference on a TV near the transmitter.If there a piece of AV equipment with an antenna near the transmitter, move the transmitter away from the antenna input terminal of the AV equipment.

Before mounting

  • Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the wood screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall on which you intend to mount the speakers is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.
  • Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and that will support the weight of the speaker.

Note

  • 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.
