Start out with what you have: your TV/VCR combination, stereo hi-fi speakers, CD player and amplifier. Then add a
DVD-Video player to your TV/VCR combination. In addition to outstanding image quality and superb sound, DVD-
Video allows you to view films in various languages, with a selection of soundtracks and subtitles. You can also
enjoy other features like viewing per chapter and, on some DVDs, camera angle selection.
Add a Pioneer A/V surround amplifier or receiver as well as centre and rear speakers to experience
supreme surround sound. Choose carefully because the A/V amplifier or receiver is the central
component in any home cinema system, connecting all the units and amplifying sound from your TV, DVD,
CD, or MiniDisc. A Pioneer A/V amplifier or receiver not only provides powerful sound, but can accept a
variety of image sources, like a video camera or game console. This is especially easy if your A/V unit has
input terminals on its front panel.
The final touch. Add a quality subwoofer to create perfect 5.1-channel surround sound. With
6 speakers in total — 2 front, 2 rear, 1 centre and 1 subwoofer, you'll be able to enjoy Dolby
Digital or DTS surround sound to its full extent. The front left and right, centre, rear left and
right speakers span a wide range of frequencies and there is a dedicated low frequency
speaker for extra sound impact. The subwoofer guarantees sonorous bass reproduction, just
like in the cinema. Pioneer's A/V amplifiers and receivers offer built-in support for decoding
compressed 5.1-channel surround sound sources, which wraps you in sound. If your existing
speakers seem a bit tired, treat yourself to a completely new 5.1-channel A/V speaker set!
