Connecting Up; Placing The Speakers; Wall Mounting The Rear Speaker - Pioneer XV-HTD1 Operating Instructions Manual

Connecting Up

Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any
other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.
This DVD receiver has been designed for best perfor-
mance when connected to the supplied speakers. We do
not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use
other speakers with this system.

Placing the speakers

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big
effect on the quality of the sound. The following
guidelines should help you to get the best sound from
your system.
• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the
other speakers should be at about ear-level when you're
listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor
(except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on
a wall is not recommended.
• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2–
3m apart.
• The rear speakers should not be further away from
your listening position than the front speakers.
• The center speaker should be as close as possible to
the TV screen so that movie dialog is localized properly.

Your listening position
If you install the center speaker on top of your TV, be
sure to secure it with tape or by some other suitable
means. An unsecured speaker may fall from the TV due
to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering
those nearby or damaging the speaker.

The front and center speakers supplied with this system
are magnetically shielded. However, placing them
extremely close to a television may result in color
distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the
speakers a little further away and switch off the
television for 15–30 minutes.
The rear speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically
shielded, so they should not be placed near a TV or
monitor.
Wall mounting the rear speaker system
Before mounting
• Remember that this speaker system is heavy and that
its weight may cause the wood screw to work loose or
the wall to fail to support it, in which case the speaker
system may fall on the floor. This is extremely danger-
ous. Make absolutely sure that the wall is sturdy enough
to support the weight of the speaker system. Do not
mount it on plywood boards or soft-surface walls. The
mounting screws are not included with this unit.
Please find the correct screws for your application.

damage that result from improper installation.
