If not connected, simply set up your speakers using the Standard surround 5-spot setup shown below, disregarding the surround speakers in the diagram. Depending on the size and characteristics of your room, you can choose to place your speakers in one of two ways using this system. Note that the following setups are possible when you are using the the wireless speaker as a second stereo system (see Using the wireless speaker system on page 41 for more on this).•Standard surround 5-spot setup – This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theatre sound. •Front surround 3-spot setup – This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn’t possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup together with the Front Surround modes to take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very realistic surround effect.Power outletCenterFront rightFront left Sub- wooferSystem unitSurround left Surround rightFront leftSurround leftListening positionCenterSubwooferFront rightSurround rightCenterFront left Front rightSub- wooferSystem unitSurroundleft SurroundrightFront left Front rightSurround left Surround rightListening positionCenterSubwoofer

Connecting up0214EnThe above illustrations are for the HTD-645DV only. If you connected surround speakers to the HTD-641DV, place them on either side of the front speakers as shown below. 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 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 6–9 ft. / 2–3 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 improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.•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 15–30 minutes.•The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor.Placing the wireless speaker systemYou 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 0215EnIf 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. 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 systemSurround 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.• 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.CenterFront rightFront left Sub- wooferSurround left Surround rightWireless speakerTransmitter/ XV-HTD640to AC outletCHANNELWood screwProtrusion: 5-7mm5 mm5 mm 10 mm

Additional information1276EnDVD Video regionsAll DVD Video discs carry a region mark on the case somewhere that indicates which region(s) of the world the disc is compatible with. 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 discsWhen 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.Don’t 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 discsAlthough 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.

Additional information 1277EnDiscs to avoidDiscs 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 it—you 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.Proper installation and maintenance of this systemHints on installationWe want you to enjoy using this system for years to come, so please bear in mind the following points when choosing a suitable location for it:Do...Use in a well-ventilated room.Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.Don’t...Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances.Place on a window sill or other place where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight.Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use.Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.Use in a kitchen or other room where the system may be exposed to smoke or steam.Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of the system unit.Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the system unit’s feet.Cleaning the pickup lensThe DVD player’s lens should not become dirty in normal use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to dust or dirt, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized service center. Although lens cleaners are commercially available, we do not recommend using them since some may damage the lens.Problems with condensationCondensation may form inside the system unit if it is brought into a warm room from outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly.

Wait for Good Bye to disappear from the display, then unplug the power cord. Never lift or move the system during playback—discs rotate at a high speed and may be damaged.

Additional information1278En• Unplugging the system before Good Bye disappears from the display may cause the system to return to the factory settings.Power cord cautionHandle 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 exteriorUse 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.

Additional information 1279EnRadio wave reflectionsThe 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 cautionThis 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.• Cordless phones• Wireless broadband routers• Wireless AV equipment• Microwave-based health aids• Microwave ovens• Wireless controllers for game systems• Bluetooth equipment• Some baby monitorsOther, less common, equipment that may operate on the same frequency:• Anti-theft systems• Warehouse logistic management systems• Amateur radio stations (HAM)• 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 operationUse 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.

Try switching the tuning interval (frequency step) (see Frequency step setting on page 75). Problem RemedyProblem RemedyAudio cannot be received. • The radio wave reception is variable depending on locations due to the effects of obstacles and reﬂecting objects. Try changing the location of the wireless speaker system a little.• The transmitter and wireless speaker are designed and sold as a pair, and they identify each other in communication. This means that communication is not available between a separately purchased transmitter and wireless speaker.Audio is interrupted. • This system uses high frequency radio waves that have properties similar to light, such as linearity, reﬂection, refraction, diffraction, and interference. Therefore, placement of the system can result in weak radio waves and/or interruption.• The distance between the transmitter and wireless speaker may be too large. Use the wireless speaker within the reach of the radio waves (within 10m) from the transmitter.• The system is being used in a location with radio wave interference or electrical noise. If so, the unit may need to be relocated.Audio is suddenly interrupted. • There may be radio communication equipment using the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as this system, such as a Bluetooth device, radio LAN device or microwave oven, operating nearby.No sound from the wireless speaker. • If you selected W.Stereo, the volume on the wireless speaker may be turned down too low.$
