CAUTION
The STANDBY/ON 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).
D3-4-2-2-2a_A_En
CAUTION
These speaker terminals carry hazardous live voltage. To
prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or

Wall-mounting the front and
surround speaker system
Before mounting
· Remember that the speaker system is
heavy and that its weight could cause the
wood screws to work loose, or the wall
material to fail to support it, resulting in
the speaker falling. Make sure that the
wall you intend to mount the speakers on
is strong enough to support them. Do not
mount on plywood or soft surface walls.
· Mounting screws are not supplied. Use
screws that are suitable for the wall
material and that will support the weight
of the speaker.
Note
· If you are unsure of the qualities and
strength of the walls, consult a
professional for advice.
· Pioneer is not responsible for any
accidents or damage that result from
improper installation.
