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 ranging from 4 Ω to 16 Ω (a model with “4 Ω to 16 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). Caution: installation • When placing this unit, ensure that it is firmly secured and avoid areas where it may be likely to fall and cause injury in the event of a natural disaster (such as an earthquake).

• Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for long periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard. • Do not sit or stand on the speaker, or let children play on the speaker. • Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speaker.

Cleaning the speaker cabinet With normal use, wiping with a dry 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 thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since these will corrode the surfaces.

Applying non skid pads

How to install Choosing where to place the speaker systems • Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space.

The use of non skid pads is recommended depending on the installation location. Apply the pads to the four corners of the side of the speaker which will be on the bottom. Note that depending on the location, the pads may not provide fully sufficient traction to prevent slipping, so care should be taken not to install the speakers in conditions where they may be prone to slide.

• For best sound, choose a solid floor upon which to place the speakers, and position the speakers as shown below. The level of low sounds can be adjusted by moving the speakers closer to or further from the wall. Adjust the speakers so that they are equidistant from their respective side walls to assure balanced sound.

Mounting the Fall-Prevention Fastener 50 cm (19 11/16 in.)

• Using the included screw, tightly secure the metal catch to the backside of the speaker.

• Place the left and right speakers equal distances from your listening position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of the same length for each speaker. • So far as possible, place the front left and front right speakers on the same plane as the TV screen.

• Pass a commercially-available reinforced string through the metal catch to securely support the speaker to the wall. Be sure that the wall to which you fasten the speaker is strong enough to support the weight of the speaker. After fastening the speaker, make sure that it does not fall over. • The speaker can incur damage in the event of a fall. • Do not attach the metal catch directly to the wall. It should only be used in conjunction with reinforced string to prevent the speaker from falling.

• To achieve optimum surround sound, you should place the TV between the left and right speakers, with the speakers pointing at a 50 to 60 degree angle toward the listening position. • If the room has a lot of reverberation, we recommend hanging heavy fabric on the walls, and/or putting a carpet on the floor to damp the sound. For best results, cover walls completely.

Metal catch Reinforced strings

Backside of speaker • Pioneer assumes no liability whatsoever for damages resulting from assembly, improper mounting, insufficient reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of nature, etc.

• Pass two reinforced strings through the metal catch, and fasten the speaker to the wall as shown above.

• Since these speaker systems are quite heavy, do not install them in unstable locations; a falling speaker could result in damage or dangerous personal injury. • When installing these speaker systems, be sure to provide positive measures against tipping or falling, since accidental falls due to earthquakes or other causes could result in injury.

Attaching and Removing the Grille It is recommended that this speaker system be used with the grille net attached, but it can be removed if desired. To remove, follow these instructions: 1 To remove the grille, place your fingers at the outside of the grille toward the bottom and pull gently outward. Then do the same at the top to detach. 2 To reattach the grille, hold the speaker grille with the triangular symbol pointing upward, then align the four pins on the back side of the grille with the holes in the speaker and press in firmly.

Connections This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to an amplifier.

Connecting the cables 1

Switch off the power to your amplifier.

2 Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals (lower) on the back of the speaker. For input terminal polarity, red is positive (+) and black is negative (–). Red terminal (+) Black terminal (−)

Hot-side speaker cord

Common-side speaker cord

3 Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp's speaker output terminals (for more details, refer to your amp instruction manual). • Grasp the cap knobs on the lower input terminals and rotate them to the left (counter-clockwise), insert the speaker cable wires into the holes in the terminal posts, then tighten the knobs to secure the short bar as well as the wires. • You can also connect the speaker’s terminals with a banana plug. • When using a banana plug, first remove the caps covering the speaker terminal. • After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound.

• If the cables’ wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp. • When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you won’t be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity (+, –) of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed.

CAUTION These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any D3-4-2-2-3_A_En uninsulated parts.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection. Decibel Level Example 30 40 50 60 70 80

Quiet library, soft whispers Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE To establish a safe level: • Start your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower 100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Once you have established a comfortable sound level: • Set the dial and leave it there.
