Wall-mounting the center and
surround speaker system
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 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 that are suitable for the wall
material and that will support the weight
of the speaker.
• 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.
Thank you for buying this
Pioneer product.
Please read through these operating instruc-
tions so that you will know how to operate
your model properly. After you have finished
reading the instructions, put them in a safe
place for future reference

Introduction to home theater
You are probably used to using stereo
equipment to listen to music, but may not be
used to home theater systems that give you
many more options (such as surround sound)
when listening to soundtracks.
Home theater refers to the use of multiple
audio tracks to create a surround sound
effect, making you feel like you're in the
middle of the action or concert. The surround
sound you get from a home theater system
depends not only on the speakers you have
set up in your room, but also on the source
and the sound settings of the system.
DVD-Video has become the basic source
material for home theater due to its size,
quality, and ease of use. Depending on the
DVD, you can have up to six different audio
tracks coming from one disc, all of them
being sent to different speakers in your
system. This is what creates a surround
sound effect and gives you the feeling of
‘being there’.
This system will automatically decode Dolby
Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video
discs, according to your speaker setup. In
most cases, you won’t have to make changes
for realistic surround sound, but other
possibilities (like listening to a CD with multi-
channel surround sound) are explained in
Home theater sound on page 30.
General disc compatibility
This system was designed and engineered to
be compatible with software bearing one or
more of the following logos:
• KODAK Picture CD
• is a trademark of Fuji Photo Film Co.
Ltd.
This player supports the IEC’s Super VCD
standard. Compared to the Video CD stan-
dard, Super VCD offers superior picture
quality, and allows two stereo soundtracks to
be recorded. Super VCD also supports the
widescreen size.
Other formats, including but not limited to the
following, are not playable in this system:

DVD-R/RW and CD-R/RW discs (Audio CDs
and Video CDs) recorded using a DVD
recorder, CD recorder or personal computer
may not be playable on this system. This may
be caused by a number of possibilities,
including but not limited to: the type of disc
used; the type of recording; damage, dirt or
condensation on either the disc or the
player’s pick-up lens. See below for notes
about particular software and formats.
CD-R/RW compatibility
• This system will play CD-R and CD-RW
discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD
format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3
or JPEG files. However, any other content
may cause the disc not to play, or create
noise/distortion in the output.
• This system cannot record CD-R or CD-
RW discs.
• Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as
CD Audio can be played, but the full Table
of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be
displayed.
DVD-R/RW compatibility
• This unit will play DVD-R/RW discs
recorded using the DVD-Video format that
have been finalized using a DVD-recorder.
•This unit will play DVD-RW discs recorded
using the Video Recording (VR) format.
•
DVD-RW shows in the display when a VR
format DVD-RW disc is loading.
•When playing a VR format DVD-RW discs
that was edited on a DVD recorder, the
screen may go momentarily black at
edited points and/or you may see scenes
from immediately before the edited point.
• This unit cannot record DVD-R/RW discs.
• Unfinalized DVD-R/RW discs cannot be
played in this player.
PC-created disc compatibility
• If you record a disc using a personal
computer, even if it is recorded in a
“compatible format” as listed above, there
will be cases in which the disc may not be
playable in this machine due to the
setting of the application software used to
create the disc. In these particular
instances, check with the software
publisher for more detailed information.
• Check the DVD-R/RW or CD-R/RW
software disc boxes for additional
compatibility information.
Compressed audio compatibility
• This unit will play CD-ROM, CD-R, and
CD-RW discs containing files saved in the
MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 (MP3) format with
a sampling rate of 32, 44.1 or 48kHz.
Incompatible files will not play and the
message
Can’t play this format will be
displayed (
No Play in the Display unit).
• Fixed bit-rate MP3 files are
recommended. Variable bit-rate (VBR)
MP3 files are playable, but playing time
may not be shown correctly.
• The CD-ROM used to compile your MP3
files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2
compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,
Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file
systems are both compatible with this
player.
• Use CD-R or CD-RW media for recording
your files. The disc must be finalized (i.e.
the session must be closed) in order to
play in this unit. This player is not
compatible with multi-session discs. Only
the first session of a multi-session disc
will be recognized.
• This player only plays tracks that are
named with the file extension .mp3 or
.MP3.

• When naming MP3 files, add the
corresponding file name extension
(.mp3). Files are played according to the
file extension. To prevent noise and
malfunctions, do not use these
extensions for other kinds of files.
• This player can recognize up to 999 files
(MP3/JPEG) and up to 499 folders. If a
disc exceeds these limits, only files and
folders up to these limits will be playable.
Files and folders are read/ displayed in
alphabetical order. Note that if the file
structure is very complex, you may not be
able to read/play all files on the disc.
•Folder and track names (excluding the file
extension) are displayed.
• There are many different recording bit-
rates available to encode MP3 files. This
unit was designed to be compatible with
all of them. Audio encoded at 128Kbps
should sound close to regular CD Audio
quality. This player will play lower bit-rate
files, but please note that the sound
quality becomes noticeably worse at
lower bit-rates.
JPEG file compatibility
• Baseline JPEG and EXIF 2.1* still image
files up to 8 mega-pixels are supported
(maximum vertical and horizontal
resolution is 5120 pixels). (*
File format
used by digital still cameras
)
• The CD-ROM used to compile your JPEG
files must be ISO 9660 Level 1 or 2
compliant. CD physical format: Mode1,
Mode2 XA Form1. Romeo and Joliet file
systems are both compatible with this
player.
• This player only displays files that are
named with the file extension .jpg or
.JPG.
