CentOS PV (paravirtual) guests cannot be installed from cd/dvd/iso.
Network installation is the only supported method with virt-manager and
virt-install.
You can always set up your own http/ftp/nfs mirror of the CentOS
installation tree, and use that from the LAN.

like said, installing from CD/DVD/ISO is not supported.
CentOS .iso images are available from CentOS mirrors. You can download
the dvd .iso and make a installation network repository from that.
