Checking the supplied accessories
Please check that you've received the following supplied
accessories:
· AM loop antenna
· FM wire antenna
· Power cable
· Dry cell batteries (AA Size / IEC R6P) x2
· Remote control unit
· Operating instructions
· Speaker cable labels
· Warranty card
Loading the batteries
The remote control operates on two AA batteries
(supplied).
· Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards
as leakage and bursting. Observe the following
precautions:
· Never use new and old batteries together.
· Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries
properly according to the marks in the battery case.
· Batteries of the same shape may have different
voltages. Do not use different batteries together.
· When disposing of used batteries, please comply
with governmental regulations or environmental
public institution's rules that apply in your country or
area.
Ventilation
· When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat
dispersal (at least 20 cm at the top, 50 cm at the rear,
and 10 cm at each side). If not enough space is
provided between the unit and walls or other
equipment, heat will build up inside, interfering with
performance and/or causing malfunctions. See
below for exceptions to this.
· Don't place anything on top of the receiver except for
a Pioneer DV-464, 360, 454, 350, 444, 474 or 545 DVD
player. If you do place one of these pieces of
equipment on top of the receiver be sure to leave the
ventilation space over it as prescribed above.
· If using a rack to hold the receiver make sure the
back of the rack and the left side are open.
· Also, if you're using a case with doors, leave the
doors open when using the receiver.
· Do not place on a thick carpet, bed, sofa or fabric
having a thick pile. Do not cover the receiver with
fabric or other covering. Anything that blocks
ventilation will cause the internal temperature to rise,
which may lead to breakdown or fire hazard.
· The receiver may become hot while in use, please
take care around it.
Maintenance of external surfaces
· Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and
dirt.
· When the surfaces are dirty, wipe with a soft cloth
dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six
times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe
again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or
cleansers.
· Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or
other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will
corrode the surfaces.

Quick start guide
Introduction
This `Quick start guide' shows you how to connect your
speakers, TV and DVD player to this receiver, and also
takes you through switching on and playing a DVD disc.
Easy Setup
This section shows you how to connect your speakers,
subwoofer, DVD player and TV to this receiver so you can
start enjoying home cinema sound right away.
Before you start, make sure everything you're connecting
is switched off and unplugged.
Connecting speakers
This receiver has speaker terminals for front left and right
speakers (L and R in the diagram), a center speaker (C)
and two surround speakers (RS and LS). The minimum
speaker configuration is just the front left/right speakers,
but we recommend connecting all five if possible. Note
that surround speakers should always be connected as a
pair; do not connect just one surround speaker. All the
speakers you use should have a nominal impedance
between 6­16.
1
Connect your speakers to the receiver, as shown
in the diagram below.
Prepare the speaker cable by stripping about 1 cm of the
plastic shielding from each speaker wire.
Connect the front speakers to the FRONT L/R terminals;
the center speaker to the CENTER terminal; and the
surround speakers to the SURROUND L/R terminals.
Press on a tab to open a terminal; insert the exposed
wire, then release the tab to secure.
For correct sound it's important that the positive and
negative terminals of the receiver and each speaker are
matched. To help you do this, attach the supplied colored
self-adhesive labels to one half of each speaker cable.
2
Connect a powered subwoofer to the
SUBWOOFER OUT jack, as shown in the diagram
below.
Use a standard audio cable with RCA/phono plugs.
· For XW-HTD525 wireless speaker system only: The
SURROUND PREOUT terminal is intended for use
with a wireless speaker system. See your wireless
speaker manual for more details on connecting up.
