User manual PIONEER S-DV231

[. . . ] â· The remote control may not work properly when this unit is used near devices emitting infrared rays, or when remote controls of other devices which use infrared rays are used. Also, the use of this remote control may cause other devices to work improperly. â· When the operating range of the remote becomes too short, replace the batteries. If your listening room is of adequate size, place the speakers as shown in step 3 to achieve the optimum surround sound effect. [. . . ] â· In order to prevent battery leakage, remove the batteries when not using the remote control for an extended period (one month or more). If leakage occurs, carefully wipe away any battery fluid inside the compartment, and replace the batteries with new ones. â· Do not allow books or other objects to rest on top of the remote control, since the buttons may be depressed, causing faster exhaustion of the batteries. 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. â· Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. The front, center and surround 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 case, turn the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set. â· The 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 subwoofer. â· Do not fix the subwoofer to the wall or ceiling; they could cause injury if they fell. Connect each speaker using the color-coded speaker plugs. The small lug at the wire-end of the speaker plug should face up or down depending on whether it's being plugged into one of the upper or lower three speaker terminals. Connect the DVD/CD receiver to your TV, then connect the supplied power cord. This player is equipped with copy protection technology. Do not connect this player to your TV via a VCR using AV cables, as the picture from this player will not appear properly on your TV. These speaker terminals can be hazardous when live. When you connect or disconnect the speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock, do not touch uninsulated parts before disconnecting the power cord. For the best surround sound, setup your speakers as above. The front left and right speakers should be about 1. [. . . ] Turn the speakers towards the closest wall, lining the arrows up for optimal Front Surround. Turn each surround speaker so that the arrow at the base is lined up with the (FRONT SURROUND) arrow on the front speaker. This is only necessary when you are using the Front Surround mode (MODE ON). See the operating instructions for more on using Front Surround. [. . . ]
