GUÍA DE OPERACIÓN
Thank you for buying this Pioneer product. Please read
through these operating instructions so you will know how to
operate your model properly. After you have finished reading
the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future
reference.
Before you start
· The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6
ohms. Connect the speaker system to an 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 precau-
tions:
· Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of
the maximum permissible input.
· When connecting or disconnecting anything in your AV
system, make sure the amplifier is switched off.
· When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud
sounds in the 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).
Caution: installation
· Do not place the speakers on an unstable surface. It
could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the
equipment.
· Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult
the instructions when connecting up components. Make
sure you use the correct connecting cables.
· The speaker system grill cannot be removed. Do not try to
forcibly remove it since doing so may damage the grille.
Caution: in use
· Don't use the speakers to output distorted sound for long
periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard.
· Do not sit or stand on the speakers or let children play on
the speakers.
· Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speakers.

input terminals on the rear panel of the speakers to the
amplifier's speaker output terminals.
Connect the
ª terminal to the wire with the white line;
connect the
· terminal to the solid-color wire.
1. Remove insulation at end of wire
and twist ends of wire strands.
2. Loosen the terminal screw and
insert the twisted wire into the
hole, then tighten the terminal screw securely.
When using the supplied speaker stand in a horizontal
installation, pass the speaker wire through the speaker stand
before connecting. When mounting vertically, pass the wires
through the mounting fixture before connecting.

· After connecting the wires to their speaker system
terminals, pull gently on the wires and confirm that the
leads are fastened securely to their terminals. Insecure
connections will result in broken sound and noise.
· Do not allow bare wire ends to protrude excessively from
the terminals. If bare wires from the two leads touch each
other, excessive load will be placed on the amplifier, leading
to possible damage or malfunction.
· Be sure to connect the + and leads to their correct
terminals. If the poles at one end of the wires are
connected mistakenly (+ to , to +), proper stereo effect
will not be produced.
Rack Installation
Preparation
When mounting the speakers on a rack, use the supplied
accessory anti-slip pad or self-adhering fastener strips. The
anti-slip pads may not be fully effective on some surfaces; if
any danger of tipping or falling exists, do not attempt to
mount the speakers in that position.
· Using anti-slip pads
Peel off the protective paper backing from the four anti-slip
pads and apply to the four bottom corners of the speaker
stand.
Anti-slip pads
· Using self-adhering fastener
1. Peel off the protective paper backing from the two loop
strips and apply to the bottom surface of the speaker

Wall Mounting
· This speaker system is supplied with a mounting fixture for
wall mounting. When using the speaker system in a wall
installation, take full precautions to prevent the speaker
from falling.
· Check the wall location thoroughly to ascertain its ability to
support the weight of the speaker system.
· If you are unable to determine the structural strength of the
wall, consult a building professional before attempting to
install the speaker system on a wall.
· No screws or bolts are provided for use in a wall
installation. Supply your own threaded fasteners in
accordance with the wall or pillar's material structure and
strength.
· Install only on a vertically plumb surface. Installation at an
angle may result in dangerous loosening of the fixture,
causing a fall.
1. First decide on whether you will install the speakers
vertically or horizontally. Use commercially available
threaded fasteners (screws or bolts) to attach the accessory
mounting fixtures to the wall.
When installing the speakers horizontally, use two screws
installed at the two locations shown (left and right); when
using a vertical installation, place one screw in the center
as shown.

Remark
· This speaker system is 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 happens, turn off the
television, then turn it on again after 15 to 30 minutes. If the
problem persists, place the speaker system away from the
television set.

Quick Tip
A speaker system's sound characteristics will change
depending on the environment and conditions under
which the system is. A speaker system can be used
without problem immediately after purchase, but its
design performance characteristics will be best
demonstrated after breaking them in by playing music
for several dozen hours.
