Thank you for buying this Pioneer product. Please read through these operating instructions so you will know how to operate your model properly. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future reference. Before you start

• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 Ω. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load impedance of 6 Ω (a model with “6 Ω“ displayed on the speaker output terminals). In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions:
• Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of the maximum permissible input.
• When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier volume.
• Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be increased, and you may damage the speaker). Care of the speaker cabinets
• With normal use, wiping with a soft cloth should be sufficient to keep the cabinet clean. If necessary, clean with a cloth dipped in a neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well. Do not use furniture wax or cleansers. Never use alcohol, thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since these will corrode the surfaces. When using chemically-treated cloths, be sure to carefully read their accompanying instruction manual. Cleaning the glossy finish of the speaker system
• When cleaning the finish of the speaker system, gently wipe it with a dry soft cloth; the supplied cleaning cloth.
• If you use a dusty or hard cloth or if you rub the screen hard, the finish of the product will be scratched.
• If you clean the surface of the speaker system with a wet cloth, water droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in malfunction.
