      Your Pioneer Home Theater System remote might not be working because it isn't pointed directly at the unit, is too far away (more than 7 m), has an obstacle in its path, or has a dead battery. Try pointing the remote directly at the unit, moving closer (within 7 m), removing any obstacles, or replacing the batteries.

      If your Pioneer Home Theater System is making noise while playing a DVD or CD, the disc might be dirty. Clean the disc using a soft cloth with outward strokes. Also, the DVD receiver might be too close to the TV, causing feedback, so move the DVD receiver and audio components further away from your TV.
