About compatibility

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.

About installation and setting

• Attach the Plasma Display to the stand before installing the speakers. See the Operating Instructions packed together with the stand for how to assemble the stand.
  Do not lift up the display by the speakers. A speaker may come off, so carry the display by holding it by the top and its handle.
  When installing the speaker, do not use any screws other than those supplied, otherwise the speaker may come off from the main unit and fall over.
• When installing the speaker, tighten the screws firmly.
• Please handle the speaker 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 speaker may result in interference or color distortion. If this happens, distance the monitor from the speaker.

About the input

In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions:
Do not use the speaker with anything other than the specified Pioneer Plasma Display. Doing so may result in damage or fire.
- Be sure to turn the connected devices off and remove the power cord from the wall outlet beforehand when changing the connection or installation method.
- When using a tone control function to greatly emphasize treble sounds, do not use excessive amplifier volume.

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.

MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS TO YOUR PLASMA DISPLAY

NOTE:

The diagram depicts the mounting of the right speaker. The left speaker mounts in the same way.

1. ① Attach the speakers to the speakers mounting bracket (top and bottom) with the speakers mounting screws (4× 10mm)
   ② Remove the seals from the cushions and then attach the cushions to the sides of the speakers in the locations indicated in the diagram below.

1. Loosely attach the speakers mounting screws (M5× 10mm) to the plasma display (one location on the left and one on the right).

Do not tighten it all the way yet. Leave it loose, with about 5mm left to tighten.

1. Hang the speaker mounting bracket on the screw you installed at the top by passing the wide part over it and lowering into the slot; screw in the lower screw temporarily.

After passing the wide part of the hole of the speaker mounting bracket (top) over the screw, lower the speaker onto it.

1. Adjust the position of the speaker and then fix the upper and lower screws firmly.

2. Adjust the positions of the speakers and the Plasma Display so their top surfaces are the same height.

3. Adjust the positions of the speakers and the Plasma Display so their side surfaces are parallel.

4. Tighten the two screws, at the top and bottom for each speaker (total of four screws), thus fixing the speakers to the display.

CONNECTION TO A PLASMA DISPLAY

Connecting your Speaker Cables (to the speaker)

Push the lever, insert the end of the speaker cable into the hole, and release the lever.

Pay attention to the polarity of the speaker terminals when making connections. (The gray line represents the red terminal)

Connecting your Speaker Cables (to the display)

Connect the cables correctly with respect to the polarity of the Plasma Display and the speaker terminals, that is, cable to terminals and cable to terminals. To do so, connect the cable with the gray line to the terminals and the white cable to the terminals.

NOTE:

• Press the lever and insert the end of the cable.
• When you release the lever, it clamps onto the speaker cable.

Caution

• Be sure to turn the connected devices off and remove the power cord from the wall outlet beforehand when changing the connection or installation method.
• If you insert the speaker cable too far so that the insulation is touching the speaker terminal, you may not get any sound. Please insert it with showing the copper wire.

• Check if the end of the speaker cables are securely connected to the terminals by slightly tugging on the cable after making connections. Loose connections may result in sound dropouts or noise.
  If there is a short in the and cables caused by an exposed lead wire, excessive load may be applied to the Plasma Display, resulting in interrupted operation or malfunction.
• Incorrect connections of the speaker cable to the right or left of the Plasma Display terminals with respect to the polarity may result in insufficient stereo sound effects, delivering poor bass sounds or unstable sound image.
• Bundle the code without pulling the cord.

HOW TO ROURE CABLES

Speed clamps are included with the Plasma Display for tidying your cables and keeping extra cable length out of the way.

Attach speed clamps at the direction of the running cables.
* When the Pioneer stand, sold separately, is not used, use the 4 holes that are marked with arrows in the diagram (→) as the holes for attaching speed clamps.

Using Speed Clamps

Wrap the speed clamp around the bundled cables and press B into hole A.

To remove a speed clamp, use pliers to twist it 90^ and then pull it out. (This may result in weakening or damaging the clamp.)

CABINET MAINTENANCE

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
• When the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth moistened with water-diluted cleanser; then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners. They may damage the surface of the cabinet.
• Never use thinner, benzine, insecticide sprays and other chemicals on or near the cabinets, since these will corrode the surfaces.
  When a chemical cloth is used, read the cautions for the chemical cloth carefully.

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
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
