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.

Regarding Installation
The playback sound from the speaker system may change
sensitively as a result of influences from the conditions of the
listening room. When installing the speakers, consider the
location carefully in order to get optimum results from your
installation.
· For a suspended installation, fasten a cord or chain to the
metal fixture on the rear panel and attach securely to a
pillar or wall. Be sure the pillar or wall used has sufficient
strength to support the speaker's weight. After installing
the speaker, confirm that it is supported securely and will
not fall.
· If the speaker falls it may be damaged.
· Do not hang the speaker directly from the metal fixture on
the rear panel. To prevent the speaker from falling, always
attach a cord or chain to the metal fixture when suspending
the speaker from a wall or pillar.

Pioneer disclaims all responsibility for any
losses or damage resulting from improper
assembly, installation, insufficient strength
of the installation materials, misuse, or
natural disasters.
· This speaker system weighs about 11 kilograms. Floor
installations should be on a flat and stable floor surface;
the speaker should be installed away from walls, as shown
in the accompanying illustration.
The distance between the speaker and the wall behind it
can be changed to adjust the bass emphasis. Adjust the
distance so that no audible difference in tone is heard from
left and right speakers.
· The most natural listening experience will be produced
when the listening position is midway between and an
equal distance from the two speakers, as shown. Adjust the
speaker wire to the same length from both speakers.

I Adjusting the Bass Range
This speaker system is supplied with acoustic control
material which can be affixed to the bottom of the stand as
a means of adjusting the bass frequency range. Apply the
material as shown, in accordance with your installation
location and personal listening tastes.
Acoustic control material
Press the material to the bottom surface of the
speaker system. Take care not to allow the
material to become pinched between the base
feet and floor.
· When using the speakers in a room with permeable walls,
place the speakers as closely as possible along the walls, or
install them in front of a screen or other object with
reflective properties.
· When used with a television, the speakers should be
installed so that their front surfaces are in the same plane
as the screen of the television.
· When using the speakers with a television screen, the
optimum breadth of sound will be produced when the
television screen is placed midway between the right and
left speakers, and the speakers are oriented at angles of
about 5060° from the listening position.
· In rooms with hard reflective or resonating walls, it may be
desirable to cover the walls with a curtain, and/or place a
carpet on the floor to dampen excessive sound reflection.
Extending the curtain all the way to the corners will help
prevent local deadening of the sound. On the other hand, if
the wall opposite the speakers (behind the listening
position) is also composed of a hard surface, placing a
thick curtain over the wall will help prevent the production
of standing waves, and result in better sound.
Installation Precautions
· These speaker systems are heavy; installing them in
unstable locations is extremely dangerous and should be
avoided.
Connection to Amplifier
Terminals are provided on the rear panel of the speakers for
connection to an amplifier.
1Disconnect the power cord to the amplifier.
2Use the provided accessory speaker wires to connect the
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.
Connect wire with white
line to amplifier's
ª
speaker output terminal.
Connect solid-color wire to
amplifier's
· speaker output
terminal.
I The input terminals on this speaker system can also
be connected using a banana plug.
· After connecting the wires to terminals, pull gently on the
wire and confirm that the wire lead is fastened securely to
its terminal. Insecure connections will result in broken
sound and noise.
· Do not allow bare wire ends to protrude excessively from
the terminals. If the 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.

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.
