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.  
Subwoofer  
Listening position  
• 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.  
Surround

• 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  
• For the best stereo effect, place the front  
speakers 2 m to 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.  
advantage of wall and ceiling reflections  
for a very realistic surround effect.  
• 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, 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 to 30  
minutes.  
• 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.  
Connecting to your TV  
• The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded  
and so should not be placed near a TV or  
monitor.  
This system has three different kinds of video  
output that you can use to connect up your TV.  
Check the available inputs on your TV to see  
which you can use.  
Wall-mounting the center and  
surround speaker system  
(The HTD88DVD model supports wall mounting  
of the surround speakers only)  
• Do not connect a VCR between this system  
and your TV as DVD playback will be  
affected.  
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.  
•
Use the supplied video cable to connect  
the VIDEO OUT jack to a video input on  
your TV.

• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use  
screws that are suitable for the wall  
material and that will support the weight of

may cause interference, especially if you’re  
using an indoor antenna. If you notice  
interference, move the system unit away

Watching progressive scan video from  
the component video outputs  
Compatibility of this player with  
progressive-scan and high-definition  
TVs.  
This player is compatible with progressive  
video Macro Vision System Copy Guard.  
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 63)  
setting to Progressive:  
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  
(Interlace). If there are questions regarding our  
TV set compatibility with this model, please  
contact our customer service center.  
• 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 ꢂ STANDBY/ON to put the system  
in standby, then press and hold the front  
panel ꢃ (stop) button for about 8 seconds  
until the display shows Mem.Clr.?. Press  
the front panel ꢄꢅ or ꢆꢇ button  
so that the display shows Interlace?. Press  
the front panel ꢈ button to set to  
interlace and switch the system back on.  
When TV format is set to AUTO or NTSC:  
• When set to Progressive, PAL and NTSC  
discs are both output as progressive NTSC  
video. See also TV format setting on  
page 68.  
• When set to Progressive, there is no video  
output from the VIDEO and S-VIDEO  
jacks. If you want to display video on more  
than one monitor simultaneously, make  
sure that it is set to Interlace. See also TV  
format setting on page 68.

Video regions on page 69.  
DVD-Video disc menus  
Many DVD-Video discs contain menus from  
which you can select what you want to watch.  
They may give access to additional features,  
such as subtitle and audio language selection,  
or special features such as slideshows. See the  
disc packaging for details.  
If the region number is OK, it may be that  
the disc is damaged or dirty. Clean the disc

automatically when you start playback; others  
only appear when you press DVD MENU or

About the listening modes  
Auto listening mode  
As explained in Placing the speakers on  
page 11, there are two basic surround speaker  
setup options available. Of course you can  
select any of the listening modes regardless of  
how you place your speakers, but you will  
achieve the best surround effect by using the  
listening modes in conjunction with your  
speaker setup:  
The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to  
listen to any source as it was mastered: the  
output from the speakers mirrors the channels  
from the source material.

Watching NTSC on a PAL TV  
(MOD. PAL)  
• FM 50. AM 9  
• FM 100. AM 10  
Most models of the newly developed count-  
down PAL TV system detect 50 Hz (PAL)/60 Hz  
(NTSC) and automatically switch vertical  
amplitude, resulting in a display without  
vertical shrinkage. However, in some cases,  
the image may appear without color.  
TV format setting  
The default setting of this system is AUTO, and  
unless you notice that the picture is distorted  
when playing some discs, you should leave it  
set to AUTO. If you experience picture  
distortion with some discs, set the TV system to  
match your country or region’s system. Doing  
this, however, may restrict the kinds of disc you  
can watch. The table below shows what kinds  
of disc are compatible with each setting  
(AUTO, PAL and NTSC).  
If your PAL TV does not have a V-Hold control,  
you may not be able to watch NTSC discs  
because of picture roll. If the TV has a V-Hold  
control, adjust it until the picture stops rolling.  
On some TVs, the picture may shrink vertically,  
leaving black bands at the top and bottom of  
the screen. This is not a malfunction; it is  
caused by the NTSC to PAL conversion.

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.  
CDs and Video CD/Super VCDs are divided into  
tracks.  
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.

CD-ROMs contain folders and files. WMA/MP3  
files are referred to as tracks. Folders may  
contain further folders.

DVD Video regions  
All 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.  
Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using  
straight strokes.  
Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular  
strokes.

Additional information  
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.  
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 system  
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).  
Hints on installation  
We 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:  
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.  
Do...  
ꢄUse in a well-ventilated room.  
ꢄPlace on a solid, flat, level surface, such as  
a table, shelf or stereo rack.  
Don’t...  
ꢅ Use in a place exposed to high  
temperatures or humidity, including near  
radiators and other heat-generating  
appliances.  
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.  
ꢅ Place on a window sill or other place where  
the system will be exposed to direct  
sunlight.  
ꢅ Use in an excessively dusty or damp  
Discs to avoid  
environment.  
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 it—you could end up damaging the  
player.  
ꢅ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or  
other component in your stereo system  
that becomes hot in use.  
ꢅ Use near a television or monitor as you may  
experience interference—especially if the  
television uses an indoor antenna.  
ꢅ Use in a kitchen or other room where the  
system may be exposed to smoke or steam.  
ꢅ Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with  
cloth—this may prevent proper cooling of  
the system unit.

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.  
Cleaning the pickup lens  
The 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.

Additional information  
Set to 4:3 (Pan&Scan), widescreen discs are  
shown with the left and right sides cropped.  
Although the picture looks larger, you don’t  
actually see the whole picture.  
Screen sizes and disc formats  
DVD-Video discs come in several different  
screen aspects, ranging from TV programs,  
which are generally 4:3, to CinemaScope  
widescreen movies, with an aspect ratio of up  
to about 7:3.  
Televisions also come in different aspect  
ratios; ‘standard’ 4:3 and widescreen 16:9.  
Please note that many widescreen discs  
override the system’s settings so that the disc  
is shown in letterbox format regardless of the  
setting.  
Widescreen TV users  
If you have a widescreen TV, the TV Screen  
setting (page 63) of this system should be set  
to 16:9 (Wide).  
When you watch discs recorded in 4:3 format,  
you can use the TV controls to select how the  
picture is presented. Your TV may offer various  
zoom and stretch options; see the instructions  
that came with your TV for details.  
• Using the 16:9 (Wide) setting with a  
standard 4:3 TV, or either of the 4:3 settings  
with a widescreen TV, will result in a  
distorted picture.  
Please note that some movie aspect ratios are  
wider than 16:9, so even though you have a  
widescreen TV, these discs will still play in a  
‘letterbox’ style with black bars at the top and  
bottom of the screen.  
Selecting languages using the  
language code list  
Some of the language options allow you to set  
your preferred language from any of the 136  
languages listed in the Language code list on  
page 79.  
Standard TV users  
If you have a standard TV, the TV Screen setting  
(page 63) of this system should be set to 4:3  
(Letter Box) or 4:3 (Pan&Scan), depending on  
which you prefer.

Set to 4:3 (Letter Box), widescreen discs are
