Thank you for purchasing this Pioneer product.
Be sure to read these Operating Instructions fully to understand the
correct use of your product.
Before Using:
This speaker system has a nominal impedance of 6 Ω. Connect it
•
to a stereo amplifier designed for a load impedance of 4–16 Ω (the
speaker output terminals should be labeled "4–16 Ω").
•
To protect the speakers from excessive inputs always follow
these guidelines:
→Do not input power loads larger than the specified permissible
maximums.
→Always disconnect amplifier power before connecting this and
other components to your amplifier.
→If a graphic equalizer is used to augment high-range sounds,
reduce the speaker's sound volume to prevent damaging the
speakers.
→Do not attempt to produce very high sound volumes from an
underpowered amplifier. The amplifier's harmonic distortion
will increase and speakers may be damaged.
Care of the Speaker Cabinets
Under normal use, use a soft dry cloth to wipe dust from the cabinet
surface. In case of severe soiling dip a clean cloth in a weak (1:5 or
1:6) solution of neutral detergent and water, wring out thoroughly,
wipe the dirt away then wipe with a dry cloth. Never expose the
surface to alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide since the surface
printing and finish may come off. If using a chemically impregnated
dusting cloth, read the instructions carefully and follow all
precautions for use.
CAUTION
[Installation]
•
Do not install speakers in unstable, unlevel or leaning positions.
Damage or personal injury could be caused if the speaker falls.
•
When connecting this speaker system to a television or audio
component, read the respective component's operating
instructions carefully disconnect the power and connect
according to the instructions. Always perform connections using
the designated wires and cables.
•
The speaker system's front grill cannot be removed. Do not
attempt to remove it since damage will result.
[Using the Speakers]
•
If sound from speakers is distorted do not play for extended
periods of time since the speaker may overheat and could present
a fire danger.
•
Do not climb or sit on the speakers or hang from them. Take
special precautions if the speakers are used around children. A
falling or broken speaker could cause personal injury.
•
Do not place heavy items on the speaker or items which hang
over the speaker's edge, since loss of balance could cause the
object to fall and hurt someone.
•
These speakers are magnetically shielded and should not cause
color distortion even when used nearby television sets. On rare
occasions, installing the speaker very close to a television may
result in some degree of color distortion; in such cases
disconnect the television's power, wait 15-30 minutes and turn on
power again. If color distortion continues, try separating the
television and speakers.
Note
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.

Operating Instructions
Regarding Installation
The playback sound from the speaker system may change 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.

Mounting
fixture
•
This speaker system weighs about 8 kilo-
grams. 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.
