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 permissable 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.

MOUNTING THE SPEAKERS TO
YOUR PLASMA DISPLAY
Warning
÷ 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.
÷ When mounting the speakers, only use the screws
enclosed. Using any screws other than those enclosed
may cause the speakers to come loose and fall.
÷ When mounting the speakers, be sure to tighten the
screws securely so they will not come loose.
÷ Do not lift up the display by the speakers. A speaker may
come off, so carry the display by holding it by the bottom
and its handle.
÷ If you wish to change from Flush mounting to Air mounting
or vice versa:
Remove the speaker mounting brackets from the
speakers and the display and remount them from the
beginning.
1 Attaching the Speaker Mounting
Brackets to the Speakers
There is a left speaker and a right speaker. When you
are mounting them, check the label on the back to get
them right.
There are top and bottom speaker mounting brackets
for both the left and the right speaker. Attach the
appropriate bracket to the top and the bottom on the
back of the speakers with the enclosed screws. (See
Diagram)
The diagram depicts the mounting of the right
speaker. The left speaker mounts in the same way.
Air mounting
Place the speaker so its terminals (bottom)
are facing you. (Example of right speaker)
Flush mounting
Place the speaker so its terminals (bottom)
are facing you. (Example of right speaker)
2 If mounting the speakers Flush, affix
the padding strip to the side of the
speakers (side that touches the
display).
Use the enclosed padding strips to buffer the speakers
when mounting them Flush. Peel off the protective strip
and affix to the side of the speakers.
