Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.

Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws suitable for the wall material and support the weight of the speaker.

PIONEER BCS-303 - Before mounting - 1

CAUTION

  • If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the wall, consult a professional for advice.
  • Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

PIONEER BCS-303 - CAUTION - 1

Additional notes on speaker

Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.

Precautions:

Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.

The front, centre and surround speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, colour distortion may occur if the speaker is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this case happens, turn the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min. to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the subwoofer.

Do not attach the front/surround speakers and subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

Positioning the system

The following illustration shows an example of positioning the system. Note that the illustrations in these instructions differ from the actual unit for explanation purposes. For the best possible surround sound, all the speakers other than the subwoofer should be placed at the same distance from the listening position (A).

PIONEER BCS-303 - Positioning the system - 1

A Front left speaker (L)/
⑧ Front right speaker (R):

Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor or screen and as flush with the screen surface as possible.

Centre speaker:

Place the centre speaker above or below the monitor or screen.

Surround left speaker (L)/
⑥ Surround right speaker (R):

Place these speakers behind your listening position, facing slightly inwards.

Subwoofer:

The position of the subwoofer is not so critical, because low bass sounds are not highly directional. But it is better to place the subwoofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the centre of the room to reduce the wall reflections.
