USER MANUAL PDPS39 PIONEER

Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.

Please read through these operating instructions before using your speaker system so you will know how to make the most of its performance. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING:

Handling the power cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with the product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California and other governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

CAUTION

This product is designed exclusively for use with the Pioneer Plasma Display. For more information on compatibility, please consult with your nearest Pioneer authorized dealer or service center.

BEFORE USE

The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8 ohms.

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. This can result in damage or a possible fire hazard.
- When connecting or disconnecting pin-plugs, be sure that amplifier power is OFF.
- When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds of a high frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier volume.
Do not force a low-powered amplifier to produce a loud volume of sound (the amplifier's harmonic distortion will be increased, and you may damage the speaker).
- Please handle the speakers with sufficient care, as the grille net and the cabinet can become damaged or broken when they are subjected to strong external impacts.

• Placing a CRT computer screen or CRT monitor near to the speakers may result in interference or color distortion. If this happens, distance the monitor from the speakers.

Installation

• Consult your dealer if you encounter any difficulties with this installation.
• Pioneer is not liable for any damage resulting from improper installation, improper use, modification, or natural disasters.

Dear Customer:

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.

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.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

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

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

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
