IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in
your plug, proceed as follows ;
The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter Nor coloured BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the

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 7, 8).
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.

Standard surround setup
This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker
setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.
The center speakers can be installed independently in
the center if desired.
Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the
base (flat surface) of each speaker.
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 with the
front speaker on the bottom and center speaker on top,
then align the 1st and 3rd screw holes from the top of the
bracket with the upper screw holes on the back of the
speakers, and fasten the two securely.
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.
Refer to to connect the speakers properly.
After connecting everything, place the speakers as
shown in the diagram above for optimal surround sound.
After placing the speakers, run the Auto MCACC setup
(page 24) to complete your surround sound setup.

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.

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.

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 7, 8).
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.

Standard surround setup
This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker
setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.
The center speakers can be installed independently in
the center if desired.
1 Attach the smaller non-skid pads to the base of
each of the front, center and surround speakers. The
four large non-skid pads are for the receiver
subwoofer (as shown).
Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the
base (flat surface) of each speaker.
2 (When mounting center speakers to right and
left) Stack the speakers and fix with the bracket.
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 with the
front speaker on the bottom and center speaker on top,
then align the 1st and 3rd screw holes from the top of the
bracket with the upper screw holes on the back of the
speakers, and fasten the two securely.
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.
3 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.
After placing the speakers, run the Auto MCACC setup
(page 24) to complete your surround sound setup.

Putting the batteries in the remote
control
1 Open the battery compartment cover on the
back of the remote control.
2 Insert two AA/R6 batteries into the battery
compartment following the indications (
 ,  ) inside
the compartment.
3 Close the cover.
Caution
Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such
as leakage and bursting. Please observe the
following:
• Don’t mix new and old batteries together.
• Don’t use different kinds of battery together —
although they may look similar, different batteries
may have different voltages.
• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each
battery match the indications in the battery
compartment.
•Remove batteries from equipment that isn’t going to
be used for a month or more.
• When disposing of used batteries, please comply
with governmental regulations or environmental
public instruction’s rules that apply in your country or
area.
WARNING
• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or
other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or
near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak,
overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the
life or performance of batteries.

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 7, 8).
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.

Standard surround setup
This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker
setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.
The center speakers can be installed independently in
the center if desired.
1 Attach the smaller non-skid pads to the base of
each of the front, center and surround speakers. The
four large non-skid pads are for the receiver
subwoofer (as shown).
Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the
base (flat surface) of each speaker.
2 (When mounting center speakers to right and
left) Stack the speakers and fix with the bracket.
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 with the
front speaker on the bottom and center speaker on top,
then align the 1st and 3rd screw holes from the top of the
bracket with the upper screw holes on the back of the
speakers, and fasten the two securely.
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.
3 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.
After placing the speakers, run the Auto MCACC setup
(page 24) to complete your surround sound setup.

Putting the batteries in the remote
control
1 Open the battery compartment cover on the
back of the remote control.
2 Insert two AA/R6 batteries into the battery
compartment following the indications (
 ,  ) inside
the compartment.
3 Close the cover.
Caution
Incorrect use of batteries can result in hazards such
as leakage and bursting. Please observe the
following:
• Don’t mix new and old batteries together.
• Don’t use different kinds of battery together —
although they may look similar, different batteries
may have different voltages.
• Make sure that the plus and minus ends of each
battery match the indications in the battery
compartment.
•Remove batteries from equipment that isn’t going to
be used for a month or more.
• When disposing of used batteries, please comply
with governmental regulations or environmental
public instruction’s rules that apply in your country or
area.
WARNING
• Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or
other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or
near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak,
overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the
life or performance of batteries.
