We just bought a Pioneer SimpleSolution Home Theater System.  The Model Number is HTV-C1.  Got it from a pawnshop, but they didn't have the user's guide.  Am confused about some of the RCA jacks--two in particular that just say "Through" and "Out".  Anybody know what I should plug in to those? 

I've got the TV and the DVD player jacked into Input 1 and 2 and everything is working great. Really would like more info about those two mystery jacks and also if anyone can tell me where I might be able to download the user's guide as well, I'd really appreciate it.

Already checked at Pioneer's websites (USA, Canada & Australia) but there's no manual available for this "archived" product.

Thanks, Lori

There should be a differant model number on the reciver rear panel.  Thats the number we need to assist you.  I never heard of this model but have heard of this set up .  The number you gave is a package  number.

Hi Larry,

Checked again and it says Model "HTV-C1" on the back of the set-top speaker but on the back of the Subwoofer it says Model "HTV-SW1" and then "to be connected to equipment HTV-C1".

I did find a Model HTV-1 at the Pioneer website in Canada (no instructions or manual though) and it seems to be identical to what I have.  That can be viewed here Pioneer Models - HTV-1.

Does that help to answer my questions?

Thanks,

Lori

No not really, what about the back of the AMP unit, whats it say for a model number, not on the speakers.

There's just two pieces -- the speaker unit (HTV-C1) that's made to sit on top of your tv and the subwoofer box (HTV-SW1) that connects to the set-top speaker (HTV-C1).

Tell you what, Larry--I'm just gonna forget all about those 2 mystery jacks--save all this frustration. 

Last question then.  Any idea where I might find a manual or instruction book for my models, or any technical information online?

Thanks for your time,

Lori

Lori,  The only advice on the Pioneer, as I checked with Two peeps on this model, and they do not have it, wound be to call them at 1-800-421-1404, or send them an e-mail and ask for the owners manual, or where can you get one.  They have an HTV-1 on the web page, but It doesnot show how to download, only shows you a picture of it.  Maybe thats the number for the entire system?  Im not sure.  Be fore I forget, try this link for their E-mail submission form.  http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/contact/us/0,,2076_310069585,00.html  Please let us know how you made out.

Okay, I'll go there now and see what I can find out.

Thanks again for your help, Larry.

Yes carbon, I would certainly think it was.

Lori -

I have the same unit.  It's a "2.1" home theater system (two speakers in one front unit, plus subwoofer) with Dolby virtual surround sound.  Bought it at Sam's Club in 1998-99 for $120, I think.  Still sounds great, and I use it with my 58" Panasonic plasma HDTV to boost the audio.  I have the manual, if you still have questions about it.
