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.

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.

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 1.5 m 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.

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, 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

1 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
