center speaker
The center speaker have a mounting hole which
can be used to mount the speaker on the wall.
Before mounting
Remember that the speaker system is heavy and
that its weight could cause the 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
suitable for the wall material and support the
weight of the speaker.
Caution
>
yIf you are unsure of the qualities and
strength of the wall, consult a professional
for advice.
yPioneer is not responsible for any accidents
or damage that result from improper
installation.
speaker
Install the main front left and right speakers at an
equal distance from the TV.
Precautions:
Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted
together and inserted fully into the speaker
terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the
back panel it may cause the power to cut o as a
safety measure.
The front, center and surround speakers supplied
with this system are magnetically shielded.
However, depending on the installation location,
colour distortion may occur if the speaker is
installed extremely close to the screen of a
television set. If this case happens, turn the power
switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after
15 min. to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the
speaker system away from the television set.
The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and
so should not be placed near a TV or monitor.
Magnetic storage media (such as oppy discs and
tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept
close to the subwoofer.
Do not attach the front/surround speakers and
subwoofer to a wall or ceiling. They may fall o and
cause injury.

Caution
>
yBe careful to make sure children not to put
their hands or any objects into the *speaker
duct.
*Speaker duct: A hole for plentiful bass
sound on speaker cabinet (enclosure).
yPlace the center speaker at a safe distance
from the child’s reach.
Otherwise it may result in the speaker falling
down and causing personal injury and/or
property damage.
yThe speakers contain magnetic parts, so
colour irregularity may occur on the CRT
TV screen or PC monitor screen. Please use
the speakers away from the TV screen or PC
monitor screen.
Front left speaker (L)/
Front right speaker (R):
Place the front speakers to the sides of the monitor
or screen and as ush with the screen surface as
possible.
Center speaker:
Place the center speaker above or below the
monitor or screen.
Surround left speaker (L)/
Surround right speaker (R):
Place these speakers behind your listening position,
facing slightly inwards.
Subwoofer:
The position of the subwoofer is not so critical,
because low bass sounds are not highly directional.
But it is better to place the subwoofer near the
front speakers. Turn it slightly toward the center of
the room to reduce the wall reections.
