WHAT’S IN THE BOX
BEFORE USE
Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
Please read through these operating instructions before
using your speaker system to optimize performance.
• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is
8 Ω. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with
a load impedance ranging from 6 Ω to 16 Ω (a model
with “6 Ω to 16 Ω” displayed on the speaker output
terminals).
• In order to prevent damage to the speaker system
resulting from input overload, please observe the
following precautions:
-Be sure to turn the connected devices off and
remove the power cord from the wall outlet
beforehand when changing the connection or
installation method.
-Do not use excessive amplifier volume if using a
tone control to emphasize high or low frequencies.
• Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for
long periods of time. This can result in a fire hazard.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
• Do not install these units near a stove or other
heating appliance, or put them in a place exposed to
the sun. Such locations may cause the cabinet to
change color and the speaker system to break down.
FRONT / CENTER SPEAKERS
• Do not attach the front and center speakers to the
wall or ceiling. It may fall off and cause injury.
• 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 of a television
set.
If this happens, turn off the television, then turn it on
again after 15 min to 30 min. If the problem persists,
place the speaker system away from the television
set.
• Do not install your speakers overhead on the ceiling
or wall. The grille is designed to be detachable, and
as such it may fall and cause damage or personal
injury if installed overhead.
SURROUND SPEAKERS
• The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded
and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor, as
the interaction of magnetic materials can cause
distortion of the colors on your TV screen. Magnetic
storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video
cassettes) should also not be kept close to these
speakers.
PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING
FRONT SPEAKERS
For best results the speakers should be separated a
distance approximately equal to the listening distance.
Angling the speakers inward towards the listener will
improve the image stability for non-central listeners.
Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the
midbass performance, although too close (particularly a
corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high
and image performance may be degraded.
