Ventilation
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation
(at least 25 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 10 cm at each
side). Also, if installing in an alcove, or similar, do not
push the subwoofer further than 5 cm back into the
space. If not enough space is provided between the unit
and walls or other equipment, heat will build up inside,
interfering with performance or causing malfunctions.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZ-
ARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

BEFORE USE
7 Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
7 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.
7 The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8
ohms. Connect the speaker system to a stereo
amplifier with a load impedance ranging from 4 to 16
ohms (a model with "4 16 W" displayed on the
speaker output terminals).
7 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).
7 Do not touch the speaker cone's reverberating
surfaces as they may be damaged by external force.
These Satellite speakers and 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.
CABINET MAINTENANCE
7 Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and
dirt.
7 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.
7 Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and
other chemicals on or near the cabinets, since these
will corrode the surfaces.

INSTALLATION
A
B
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.

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.
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.
