Starting Out
Start with what you have: your VCR, TV, stereo hi-fi system speakers, CD player and
amplifier.
Step 1: Add a DVD Player
To start, add a DVD player – choose from a standard unit, design models or even a
trendy portable – to your TV/VCR combination. Besides outstanding image quality
and superb sound, DVD lets you view films in various languages with a selection of
soundtracks and enjoy other easy and convenient features, such as viewing per
chapter and movie angle selection.
Step 2: Add an A/V Surround Receiver or Amplifier + Centre/Rear Speakers
Then, add a Pioneer A/V surround amplifier or receiver as well as centre and rear
speakers to experience supreme surround sound. Choose carefully because the A/V
amplifier or receiver is the central component in any home cinema system,
connecting all the units and amplifying sound from your TV, DVD, CD or MiniDisc. A
Pioneer A/V amplifier or receiver not only provides powerful sound, but you
can connect a variety of image sources, such as a video camera. This is
especially easy if your A/V unit has input terminals on its front panel.
Step 3: Add a Subwoofer
The final touch. Add a quality subwoofer to create perfect 5.1 channel surround
sound. With 6 speakers in total – 2 front, 2 rear, 1 centre and 1 subwoofer, you’ll be
able to enjoy Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound. The subwoofer guarantees
sonorous bass reproduction. Just like in the cinema. Or, if your existing speakers
seem a bit tired, treat yourself to a completely new 5.1 channel A/V speaker set!
