BEFORE USE

• Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
• Please read through this operating guide before using your speaker system to optimize performance.

In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions:

• When connecting or disconnecting cables, be sure amplifier power is OFF.
• Do not use excessive amplifier volume if using a tone control to emphasize high or low frequencies.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Do not install these units near a stove or other heating appliance, or put them in a place exposed to the sun. Such locations may cause the cabinet to change color and the speaker system to break down.
• The front, center and surround speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, placing them extremely close to a television may result in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the speakers a little further away and switch off the television for 15 to 30 minutes.

SUBWOOFER

• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet.
• Do not spill liquid on the cabinet.
• Place the subwoofer at least 8 inches (20 cm) from any wall or curtain in order to avoid heat build-up.
• 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.

CAUTION:

• Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in a malfunction or a fire.
• Do not attach the subwoofer and center speaker to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.

WARNING:

Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with the product will expose you to chemicals listed on proposition 65 known to the State of California and other governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defect or other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling

CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM

IMPORTANT:

Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.

FRONT/CENTER/SURROUND/SUBWOOFERSPEAKERS

Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure proper polarity of connection.

Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.

Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the receiver.

To connect, insert the colored wire into the matching positive (colored) terminal and the other wire into the negative (black) terminal as shown below.

Note that the color-coded tabs are as follows:

Red:Front right (R)

• Purple: Subwoofer

• White : Front left (L)

• Grey : Surround right (R)

Green: Center speaker

• Blue : Surround left (L)

Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the speakers.

Match the colored wire with the color-coded label (above the tabs), then insert the colored wire into the red (+) tab and the other wire with the black (-) tab.

PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING

SUBWOOFER

Sound spreads in all directions in the very low frequency range. Human hearing cannot easily detect the source of very low frequencies. Be sure to provide a space of at least 8 inches (20 cm) between the rear of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.

FRONT SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeaker should be positioned near ear level and the loudspeakers separated a distance approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers inward towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the midbass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image performance may be degraded.

CENTER SPEAKER

The loudspeaker should be positioned below the TV. For best results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front of the TV. If the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very close to the floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.

SURROUND SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeakers should be positioned at or above ear level. Depending upon your room layout and preferences, the left and right rear speakers should be positioned on the side walls just the rear of the listening position, or on the walls.

STANDARD SURROUND SETUP

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

NON-SKID PADS

If the front, center and surround speakers are placed on a hard surface, such as wood or tile place four non-skid pads (small) on the bottom flat surface of the speakers.

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor, such as wood or tile, place four non-skid pads (large) on the bottom surface of the subwoofer.

CABINET MAINTENANCE

Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

When the cabinet is very dirty, clean with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and other chemicals on or near the cabinets, since these will corrode the surfaces.

• 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.

NOTE

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

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.

Toestablish 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 al 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 NOISESCAN BEDANGEROUS UNDERCONSTANT 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
