Before plugging in for the first time, read the following
section carefully.
Voltage selector
You can find the voltage selector switch on the rear
panel of multi-voltage models.
The factory setting for the voltage selector is
220-230V. Please set it to the correct voltage for
your country or region.
· Saudi Arabia operates on 127V and 220V mains
voltage. Please set to the correct voltage before using.
· For Taiwan, please set to 110-127V before using.
· For Mexico, please set to 110-127V before using.
Before changing the voltage, disconnect the AC power
cord. Use a medium size screwdriver to change the

POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.
S002_En
If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC
outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed
and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and
mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of
this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.
The equipment should be disconnected by removing
the mains plug from the wall socket when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).
D3-4-2-2-1a_A_En
CAUTION
The POWER switch on this unit will not completely
shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the
power cord serves as the main disconnect device for
the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet
to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the
unit has been installed so that the power cord can
be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an
accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should
also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).

BEFORE USE
· Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
· Please read this operating guide through before using
your speaker system so you will know how to optimize
performance. After you have finished reading the
operating guide, store it in a safe place for future
reference.
· The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 .
Connect the speaker system to a stereo amplifier with a
load impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with
"4 16 " 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 connecting or disconnecting pin-plugs, be sure
amplifier power is OFF.
· When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud
sounds over a 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).
· Do not touch the speaker cone's reverberating surfaces
as they may be damaged by external force.
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.
This Subwoofer are magnetically shielded.
However,depending on the installation location,color
distortion may occur if the speaker system is installed
extremely close to the screen off a television set.
If this happenscase,turn of the power switch of the
television set OFF,and turn it on after 15 to 30
minutes.If the problem persists,place the speaker
system away from the television set.

INSTALLATION
Speaker Installation
The subwoofer plays back the bass in monaural, making
use of the fact that the human ear loses the sense of
direction of low-pitched sound. Since the sense of direction
is lost, the subwoofer can be installed almost anywhere. If
it is installed too far away, however, the sound from the left
and right speakers may become unnatural.
Subwoofer Installation Criteria (Å)
1 Left speaker
2 Right speaker
3 Recommended installation range for the subwoofer
4 Listening position
An example of speaker positioning (i)
1 Front left speaker
2 Center speaker
3 Front right speaker
4 Subwoofer
5 Listening area
6 Surround speaker left
7 Surround speaker right
NOTE:
·
Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances
from the TV set.
·
Install the center speakers above or below the TV so that the
sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
·
The rear (surround) speakers are most effective when installed
in parallel locations directly to the side, or slightly behind, the
listener, at a level about 1 meter above the listener's ears.
Installation Precautions
· Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will
not be exposed to high temperatures and high humidity.
· Do not place the unit near stoves or other heating
equipment or at locations exposed to direct sunlight, as
these can have an adverse effect on the cabinet and
internal components. Also, do not install the unit where
there is too much dust or high humidity, as these can
cause malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking
tables and other locations where the unit would be
exposed to heat, steam and soot.)
· Do not place heavy objects such as a television or TV
monitor on top of the unit.
· Keep the unit away from devices such as cassette decks
which are sensitive to magnetic fields
· Please install this unit away from the antenna cable of
the tuner, as noise can be caused with installation close
to the antenna cable. In such a case, use this unit at a
position away from the antenna and the antenna cable,
or when playback of extra bass is not required, switch off
the power for this unit.

CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure
to secure it with tape or some other suitable means.
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external
shocks such as earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering
those nearby or damaging the speaker.
