sure the unit has been installed so that the power

cord can be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in

case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power

cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet

Notes on Copyrights

• Because AACS (Advanced Access Content

System) is approved as content protection

system for Blu-ray Disc format, similar to use

of CSS (Content Scramble System) for DVD

format, certain restrictions are imposed on

playback, analog signal output, etc., of AACS

protected contents. The operation of this

product and restrictions on this product may

vary depending on your time of purchase

as those restrictions may be adopted and/

or changed by AACS after the production of

this product.

• Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are

additionally used as content protection

systems for Blu-ray Disc format, which

imposes certain restrictions including

playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark

and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain

additional information on AACS, BD-ROM

Mark, BD+, or this product, please contact

an authorized Customer Service Center.

• Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with

copy protection. Because of this, you should

only connect your player directly to your TV,

not to a VCR. Connecting to a VCR results

in a distorted picture from copy-protected

discs.

• This item incorporates copy protection

technology that is protected by U.S. patents

and other intellectual property rights of

Rovi Corporation. Reverse engineering and

disassembly are prohibited.

• Under the U.S. Copyright laws and Copyright

recorded in the NTSC colour system, the image

is output as an NTSC signal.

• If you have a PAL colour system TV, you will

see just distorted images when using discs

or video contents recorded in NTSC.

• The multi system colour TV changes the

colour system automatically according to

input signals. In case that the colour system

is not changed automatically, turn it off and

then on to see normal images on screen.

• Even if the disc recorded in NTSC colour

system are well displayed on your TV, these

may not be recorded correctly on your

recorder.

Connecting 23

Connecting

Fix the upper cabinet and the lower cabinet

from the backside of the speaker using the

two screws (M4 x 12).

Caution

• Be careful not to tighten screws excessively.

If excessive force is used to tighten screws, the

threads of screw and/or nut may be damaged. Use

a middle-sized manual screwdriver during assembly.

Do not use power screwdrivers or oversized

screwdrivers that may exert excessive force on the

screws and nuts. Confirm that no foreign matter

is stuck to the base or the lower cabinet during

assembly. If the unit is assembled with foreign matter

stuck between the base and lower cabinet, the unit

may not be assembled securely, resulting in tipping

or falling.

• Do not stand on the speaker stand base of the tall

speaker to push or swing the speaker. The speaker

may fall and break, or someone may be injured.

Pay special attention to children.

Wall mounting the speaker for

BCS-727

The center speaker have a mounting hole

which can be used to mount the speaker on

the wall.

Before mounting

Remember that the speaker system is heavy

and that its weight could cause the 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

suitable for the wall material and support the

weight of the speaker.

Caution

• If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of

the wall, consult a professional for advice.

• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or

damage that result from improper installation.

Additional notes on speaker

for BCS-727

Install the main front left and right speakers at

an equal distance from the TV.

Precautions:

The center speaker 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

case happens, turn the power switch of the

television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min.

to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the

speaker system away from the television set.

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.

Do not attach the front/surround speakers and

subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall off

and cause injury.

Positioning the system for

BCS-727

The following illustration shows an example

of positioning the system. Note that the

illustrations in these instructions differ from

the actual unit for explanation purposes. For

the best possible surround sound, all the

speakers other than the subwoofer should be

placed at the same distance from the listening

position (

Front left speaker (L)/

Front right speaker (R):

Place the front speakers to the sides of the

monitor or screen and as flush with the screen

surface as possible.

Center speaker:

Place the center speaker below or in front of

the monitor or screen.

Surround left speaker (L)/

Surround right speaker (R):

Place these speakers behind your listening

position, facing slightly inwards.

Subwoofer:

The position of the subwoofer is not so

critical, because low bass sounds are not

highly directional. But it is better to place the

subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it

slightly toward the center of the room to reduce

the wall reflections.
