01 Before you start Chapter 1 Before you start Features • DVD-Audio and SACD compatible Experience the super high-quality audio performance of DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD (SACD). The on-board 24-bit/192kHz DAC means that this system is fully compatible with high sampling-rate discs, capable of delivering exceptional sound quality in terms of dynamic range, low-level resolution and high-frequency detail.
Before you start 01 Putting the batteries in the remote control • Open the battery compartment cover and insert the batteries as shown. Use two AA/R6P batteries and follow the indications ( , ) inside the compartment. Close the cover when you’re finished. • Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on the system unit’s remote sensor. • Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with each other.
01 Before you start CD-R/RW compatibility • This system will play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in CD Audio or Video CD format, or as a CD-ROM containing MP3 or JPEG files. However, any other content may cause the disc not to play, or create noise/distortion in the output. • This system cannot record CD-R or CD-RW discs. • Unfinalized CD-R/RW discs recorded as CD Audio can be played, but the full Table of Contents (playing time, etc.) will not be displayed.
Connecting up 02 Chapter 2 Connecting up Connecting the speakers and wireless speaker system Connect each speaker using the color-coded speaker cable. Match them to the colored labels above the speaker terminals. Note that surround speaker are not provided with the HTD-641DV, but if you want, you can connect speakers with a nominal impedence of 6Ω–16Ω. • Before making or changing any rear panel connections, make sure that all the components are switched off and unplugged from the power supply.
02 Connecting up • These speaker terminals can be under HAZARDOUS VOLTAGE. When you connect or disconnect the speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock, do not touch uninsulated parts before disconnecting the power cord. • Remove the supplied non-skid pads from the paper, and stick four onto the base of each satellite speaker (HTD-645DV only – refer to the setup guide for more on this). Actual speakers supplied may differ from those shown.
Connecting up 02 6 When you’re finished connect the power cord to a household power outlet. • HTD-645DV only – Before doing this, plug the supplied power cord into the wireless speaker AC IN inlet (see below). Front left Center Front right Subwoofer Listening position Surround left Power outlet Placing the speakers Note that the HTD-641DV does not include surround speakers.
02 Connecting up The 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. 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.
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.
02 Connecting up Connecting to your TV Connecting using the S-video output 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. If your TV has an S-video input, you can use this instead of the standard video output for a better quality picture. • Do not connect a VCR between this system and your TV as DVD playback will be affected.
Connecting up 02 Connecting using the component video output Watching progressive scan video from the component video outputs 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. Compared to interlace video, progressive scan video effectively doubles the scanning rate of the picture, resulting in a very stable, flickerfree image.
02 Connecting up If there are questions regarding our TV set compatibility with this model, please contact our customer service center.
Connecting up • 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.
02 Connecting up Connecting the supplied antennas The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to AM and FM radio. If you find that reception quality is poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound quality—see Connecting external antennas on page 80 for more on how to do this.
Connecting up 02 Connecting the power • It’s also possible to fix the AM antenna to a wall using two screws (see illustration below). Before fixing, make sure that the reception is satisfactory. Before connecting the power and switching on for the first time make sure that everything is connected properly. AC IN ANTENNA FM wire antenna • Connect the FM wire antenna to the FM UNBAL 75Ω terminal in the same way as the AM loop antenna.

04 Getting started Chapter 4 Getting started Switching on and setting up After making sure everything is connected up properly, you’re ready to switch on. The first thing to do is to tell the system what kind of TV you’re using, standard or widescreen. After that you can set up the surround sound for your room, and set the clock so that you can use the timer features. 1 Press STANDBY/ON (on the remote or on the front panel) to switch the system on.
Getting started 4 04 Press ENTER again to finish setting up. Let's Get Started Menu 2 If ‘Clock ADJ?’ isn’t already shown in the display, press or (cursor left or right) until you see it. 3 Setup complete choose [Complete], to start again choose [Back] 5 Complete Press ENTER. 4 Use the / (cursor up/down) buttons to set the hour.

Getting started 04 Using the on-screen displays For ease of use, this system makes extensive use of graphical on-screen displays (OSDs). You should get used to the way these work as you’ll need to use them when setting up the system, using some of the playback features, such as program play, and when making more advanced settings for audio and video. All the screens are navigated in basically the same way, using the cursor buttons to change the highlighted item and pressing ENTER to select it.
04 Getting started 2 Press tray. OPEN/CLOSE to open the disc 3 Load a disc. Load a disc with the label side facing up in the front-most disc space, using the disc tray guide to align the disc. (If you’re loading a double-sided DVD disc, load it with the side you want to play face down.) If you’re playing a DVD or Video CD, a menu may appear. See DVD-Video disc menus on page 37 and Video CD PBC menus on page 38 for how to navigate these.
Getting started Button What it does Button What it does Starts playback. DVD and Video CD: If the display shows Resume or Last Mem playback starts from the resume or last memory point (see also Resume and Last Memory below.) Numbers Use to enter a title/track number. Press ENTER to select (or wait a few seconds). • If the disc is stopped, playback starts from the selected title (for DVD) or track number (for CD/SACD/Video CD/MP3).
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 position 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). 2 Load a disc with the label side facing up, using the disc tray guide to align the disc. If you want to clear the resume/last memory point, press (stop) while Resume or Last Mem is displayed.
Getting started 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.
04 Getting started Button What it does TOP MENU Displays the ‘top menu’ of a DVD (SHIFT + disc—this varies with the disc. You can play a PBC Video CD without having to navigate the PBC menu by pressing (stop) then starting playback using a number button to select a track, rather than (play) (or on the front panel). DVD MENU) 38 En DVD MENU Displays a DVD disc menu—this varies with the disc and may be the same as the ‘top menu’. Moves the cursor around the screen.
