(not supplied) Listening position See About the listening modes on page 43 for more on using the different listening modes with each speaker setup. 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 youre 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 69 ft. / 23 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

When using a 5-spot setup, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level, if possible.

Make sure that all speakers are securely installed (if you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it by suitable means). This not only 14 En

The front, and center and surround 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 1530 minutes.

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor. Placing the wireless speaker system You can choose to use the wireless speaker system for multichannel sound with your main setup, or as a second stereo speaker system. The Standard surround (5-spot) setup described in Placing the speakers above will achieve the best surround sound when using the wireless speaker system for multichannel sound (the 3-spot setup is not recommended).

After setting up the wireless speaker for multichannel sound, see Setting the channel levels on page 66 to lower the surround speaker levels. Note that the following illustration shows a speaker setup including surround speakers, which are not included with the HTD-641DV model. See Connecting the speakers and wireless speaker system on page 11 for more on connecting surround speakers. Connecting up 02 If not connected, simply set up your speakers using the Standard surround setup as shown below, disregarding the surround speakers in the diagram. Using the wireless speaker, you can still achieve exceptional surround sound from your system. Front left Transmitter/

XV-HTD640 CHANNEL Sub-

woofer Front right Center Surround left Surround right Wireless speaker to AC outlet For best surround sound, make sure to place the wireless speaker directly behind the center of the listening position and no higher than ear level. Also, make sure you don't move the wireless speaker too far behind the listening position or you will lose much of the surround sound effect. For more placement options, see Using the wireless speaker system on page 41.

For a greater surround sound effect from the wireless speaker, see Setting the channel levels on page 66 to increase the surround channel levels.

As well as setting the wireless mode on the speakers, you must also set the mode on the main unit. See Using the wireless speaker system on page 41 for more on this. Wall-mounting the center and surround speaker system Surround speakers are not supplied with the HTD-641DV. Illustration shows the HTD-645DV. 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.

Do not connect a VCR between this system and your TV as DVD playback will be affected. Use the supplied video cable to connect the VIDEO OUT jack to a video input on your TV. VIDEO INPUT TV PR COMPONENT VIDEO OUT PB IN CONTROL VIDEO OUT Y S-VIDEO OUT VIDEO SPEAKERS FRONT R L SUB WOOFER CENTER

Placing the system unit too close to your TV may cause interference, especially if youre using an indoor antenna. If you notice interference, move the system unit away from the TV. 16 En Connecting using the S-video output If your TV has an S-video input, you can use this instead of the standard video output for a better quality picture. Use an S-video cable (not supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT to an S-video input on your TV. Line up the small triangle below the jack with the same mark on the plug before plugging in.

The S-video output is switchable between S1 and S2 formats for compatibility with all TVs. See Video Output settings on page 69 for more on this. Connecting up 02 Connecting using the component video output If your TV has component video inputs, you can use these instead of the standard video output to connect this system to your TV. This should give you the best quality picture from the three types of video output available. Use a component video cable (not supplied) to connect the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT to a set of component inputs on your TV. COMPONENT INPUT TV PR COMPONENT VIDEO OUT PB IN CONTROL VIDEO OUT Y S-VIDEO OUT VIDEO SPEAKERS FRONT R L SUB WOOFER

The component video output is switchable between interlaced and progressive formats. See Video Output settings on page 69 and Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs below for more on this. Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flicker-

free image. Progressive scan video is available only from the component video output. There are a few things to keep in mind when switching the Component Out (page 69) setting to Progressive:

When set to Progressive, there is no video output from the VIDEO OUT (composite) and S (S-video) jacks.

If you want to display video on more than one monitor simultaneously, make sure the player is set to Interlace.

If you connect a TV that is not compatible with a progressive scan signal and switch the setting to Progressive, you will not be able to see any picture at all. In this case, press STANDBY/ON to put the system in standby, then press and hold the front panel (stop) button for about 8 seconds until the display shows Mem.Clr.?. Press the front panel or button so that the display shows Interlace?. Press the front panel button to set to interlace and switch the system back on. Compatibility of this player with progressive-scan and high-definition TVs This player is compatible with progressive video Macro Vision System Copy Guard. Consumers should note that not all high-

definition television sets are fully compatible with this product and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture. In case of 525 progressive scan picture problems, it is recommended that the user switch the connection to the standard definition output

You wont be able to use the remote sensor of this unit with the CONTROL IN jack of this unit connected to the CONTROL OUT jack of your plasma display. You can use the remote sensor of the plasma display

(even in standby) as long as the power isnt switched off.

The automatic volume muting feature is enabled separately; see SR+ control options for Pioneer plasma displays on page 65. (You can also use the System Setup menu to switch the SR+ mode of this unit.)

If you disconnect the SR+ cable or switch the plasma display off while SR+ is on, the setting automatically reverts to SR+ OFF. This displays an error if you switch the input of the unit with the plasma display switched off. Likewise, if this unit is switched off, the link with the plasma display will be terminated. Use a 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable to connect the CONTROL IN jack of this unit through a media receiver to the CONTROL OUT jack of your plasma display. Before you can use the extra SR+ features, you need to make a few settings in the unit. See SR+ control options for Pioneer plasma displays on page 65 for detailed instructions. Using the SR+ mode with a Pioneer plasma display When connected using an SR+ cable, a number of features (such as automatic video input switching and volume muting on the plasma display) become available to make using this unit with your Pioneer plasma display even easier. See also SR+ control options for Pioneer plasma displays on page 65 for information on setting up the unit. 1 Make sure that the plasma display and this unit are switched on and that they are connected with an SR+ cable. See Using this unit with a Pioneer plasma display above for more on connecting these components. To switch SR+ mode on/off, press SR+

(SHIFT + 7). The front panel display shows the new setting;

SR+ ON or SR+ OFF.

If SR+ Error shows in the display, it means there is a communication problem between the unit and the plasma display. Check all connections and retry.

The 3-ringed SR+ cable from Pioneer is commercially available under the part number ADE7095. Contact the Pioneer Customer Support division for more information on obtaining an SR+ cable. 19 En 02 Connecting up Connecting the supplied antennas The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to AM and FM radio.

back starts from the selected title (for DVD) or track number

(for CD/SACD/Video CD/MP3).

If the disc is playing, playback jumps to the start of the selected chapter or track (within the current group for DVD-

Audio).

You may find with some DVD discs that some playback controls dont work in certain parts of the disc. This is not a malfunction. Using the front panel controls The OPEN/CLOSE and (stop) buttons on the front panel work the same way as the remote control equivalents. The front panel scan and skip buttons ( and ) are combined. Press once for chapter/track skip, or press and hold for scanning. Resume and Last Memory When you stop playback of a DVD or Video CD disc, Resume is shown in the display indi-

cating that you can resume playback again from that point. If the disc tray is not opened, the next time you start playback the display shows Resume and playback resumes from the resume point. 35 En 04 Getting started For DVD discs only: If you change discs using the DISC SKIP, DISC or DIRECT PLAY buttons, or take the disc out of the player, the play posi-

tion is stored in memory. When you load the disc next time, the display shows Last Mem and you can resume playback (this works for up to five discs). If you want to clear the resume/last memory point, press (stop) while Resume or Last Mem is displayed.

When a Video CD is loaded, the Resume point is lost if the system is switched off, or switched to a function other than DVD/CD.

For the Last Memory function to work, you must press (stop) to stop playback before opening the disc tray or changing the disc.

The Last Memory function doesnt work with VR format DVD-RW discs. Changing discs You can change any of the discs not in the play position using the EXCHANGE button on the front panel. Because the disc in the play position is unaffected, you can use this button to change discs even during playback. 1 Press EXCHANGE to open the disc tray.

The EXCHANGE button only works when there is at least one disc loaded. Load a disc with the label side facing 2 up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc. Disc number

If you want to load more discs, press DISC SKIP to rotate the disc tray two disc spaces.

Before loading or removing discs, always wait for the disc mechanism to come to a complete stop.

Load discs only in the two fully accessible disc spaces. Do not try and load discs into any of the other spaces; they may not load correctly and cause the system to malfunction.

Do not rotate the disc tray by hand. Always use the DISC SKIP button.

Do not obstruct the movement of the disc tray. Press EXCHANGE or OPEN/CLOSE to 3 close the disc tray.

Always use the OPEN/CLOSE or EXCHANGE button to close the disc tray after exchanging discs. Never push the disc tray shut by force. After I load a DVD disc, it ejects automatically after a few seconds!

36 En Getting started 04 Most likely, the disc is the wrong region for your system. The region number should be printed on the disc; check it against the region number of the system (which you can find on the rear panel). See also DVD Video regions on page 76. If the region number is OK, it may be that the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc and look for signs of damage. See also Using and taking care of discs on page 75. If youve set the Parental Lock level for the system to a level lower than the disc you are trying to play, youll need to set it again to watch the disc (see Parental Lock on page 72). Why wont the disc I loaded play?

First check that you loaded the disc the right way up (label side up), and that its clean and not damaged. See Using and taking care of discs on page 75 for information on cleaning discs. If a disc loaded correctly wont play, its probably an incompatible format or disc type, such as DVD-ROM. See Disc / content format playback compatibility on page 9 for more on disc compatibility. I have a widescreen TV so why are there black bars at the top and bottom of the screen when I play some discs?

Some movie formats are such that even when played on a widescreen TV, black bars are necessary at the top and bottom of the screen. This is not a malfunction. I have a standard (4:3) TV and set the system to show widescreen DVDs in pan & scan format, so why do I still get black bars top and bottom with some discs?

Some discs override the display preferences of the system, so even if you have 4:3 (Pan & Scan) selected, those discs will still be shown in letterbox format. This is not a malfunction. My DVD-Audio disc starts playing, but then suddenly stops!

The disc may have been illegally copied. DVD-Video disc menus Many DVD-Video and DVD-Audio discs contain menus from which you can select what you want to watch. They may give access to addi-

tional features, such as subtitle and audio language selection, or special features such as slideshows. See the disc packaging for details. Sometimes DVD-Video menus are displayed automatically when you start playback; others only appear when you press DVD MENU or TOP MENU.

Your DVD system also has a region mark, which you can find on the rear panel. Discs from incompatible regions will not play in this system. Discs marked ALL will play in any system. The diagram below shows the various DVD regions of the world. Handling discs When holding discs of any type, take care not to leave fingerprints, dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty discs can affect playback performance. Take care also not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a disc becoming unusable. Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust, etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly from the center to the outside edge as shown in the diagram below. Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using straight strokes. Dont wipe the disc surface using circular strokes. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a commercially available CD/DVD cleaning kit to clean a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or other cleaning agents, including products designed for cleaning vinyl records. Storing discs Although CDs and DVD discs are more durable than vinyl records, you should still take care to handle and store discs correctly. When you're not using a disc, return it to its case and store upright. Avoid leaving discs in excessively cold, humid, or hot environments (including under direct sunlight). Don't glue paper or put stickers onto the disc, or use a pencil, ball-point pen or other sharp-

tipped writing instrument. These could all damage the disc. For more detailed care information see the instructions that come with discs. Do not load more than one disc into the player at a time. 76 En Additional information 12 Discs to avoid Discs spin at high speed inside the player. If you can see that a disc is cracked, chipped, warped, or otherwise damaged, don't risk using ityou could end up damaging the player. This system is designed for use with conventional, fully circular discs only. Use of shaped discs is not recommended for this product. Pioneer disclaims all liability arising in connection with the use of shaped discs.

Unplugging the system before Good Bye disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings. Power cord caution Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the system unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cord should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement. Wireless speaker system maintenance and precautions

Even when not in use, the fan in the wireless speaker will continue to operate. Switching off the wireless speaker when not in use will increase product life. Cleaning the exterior Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. If the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water and wrung out well, then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. Never use thinners, benzine or insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since they will corrode the surface. If you use a chemical-impregnated cleaning cloth, read the instructions carefully before use. These cloths may leave smear marks on half-mirror finish surfaces; if this happens, finish with a dry cloth. Make sure to unplug the unit when cleaning. AC adapter and power cord caution

Do not leave the power cord near heating equipment. The coating of the cord may melt, which could lead to fire and/or electrocution.

Make sure to grasp the body of the AC adaptor when removing it from the power outlet. If you pull the power cord, it may become damaged which could lead to fire and/

or electrocution.

Do not attempt to plug in or remove the AC adaptor with wet hands. This may result in electrocution.

Insert the prongs of the AC adaptor all the way into the power outlet. If the connection is incomplete, heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Furthermore, contact with the connected prongs of the adaptor may result in electrocution.

Do not insert the AC adaptor into a power outlet where the connection remains loose despite inserting the prongs all the way into the outlet. Heat may be generated which could lead to fire. Consult with the retailer or an electrician regarding replacement of the power outlet. Moving the wireless speaker If you need to move the wireless speaker, first press POWER on the top panel to turn the unit off, then unplug the power cord. 78 En Additional information 12 Radio wave reflections The radio waves received by the receiver include the radio wave coming directly from the transmitter (direct wave) and waves coming from various directions due to reflections by walls, furniture and building

(reflected waves). The reflected waves (due to obstacles and reflecting objects) further produce a variety of reflected waves as well as variation in reception condition depending on locations. If the audio cannot be received properly due to this phenomenon, try moving the location of the wireless speaker a little. Also note that audio may be interrupted due to the reflected waves when a person crosses or approaches the space between the transmitter and wireless speaker. Radio wave caution This wireless speaker system uses a 2.4GHz radio wave frequency, which is a band used by other wireless systems (see list below). To prevent noise or interrupted communication, do not use this system nearby such devices, or make sure these devices are switched off during use. You can also try switching the channel on the transmitter (see Transmitter on page 16) for better reception.

Discrimination systems for train or emergency vehicles

If there is something obstructing the path between the transmitter and the wireless speaker (such as a metal door, concrete wall, or insulation containing tinfoil), you may need to change the location of your system to prevent signal noise and interruptions.

If the transmitter is used near A/V equipment with an antenna input terminal, such as a TV, VCR, BS tuner or CS tuner, you may experience noise interference on a TV near the transmitter. In such cases, place the transmitter at a larger distance from the antenna input terminal of the A/V equipment. Scope of operation Use of this equipment is limited to home use.

(Transmission distances may be reduced depending on communication environments.) In the following locations, poor condition or inability to receive radio waves may cause the audio to be interrupted or stopped:

In reinforced concrete buildings or homes made of metallic structural members.

Near large metallic furniture.

In a crowd of people or near a building or obstacle.

If you live in a heavily populated residential area (apartment, townhouse, etc.) and if your neighbor's microwave is placed near your system, you may experience radio wave interference or no sound from the speaker. If this occurs, move your unit to a different place. When the microwave is not in use, there will be no radio wave interference. 79 En Connecting external antennas External AM antenna Use 56 meters (1518 feet) of vinyl-insulated wire and set up either indoors or outdoors.
