About compatibility

This product is designed exclusively for use with the

Pioneer Plasma Display. For more information on

compatibility, please consult with your nearest Pioneer

authorized dealer or service center.

About installation and setting

÷ Attach the Plasma Display to the stand before installing

the speakers. See the Operating Instructions packed

together with the stand for how to assemble the stand.

÷ Do not lift up the display by the speakers. A speaker

may come off, so carry the display by holding it by the

top and its handle.

÷ When installing the speaker, do not use any screws

other than those supplied, otherwise the speaker may

come off from the main unit and fall over.

÷ When installing the speaker, tighten the screws firmly.

÷ Please handle the speaker with sufficient care, as the

grille net and the cabinet can become damaged or

broken when they are subjected to strong external

impacts.

÷ Placing a CRT computer screen or CRT monitor near to

the speaker may result in interference or color

distortion. If this happens, distance the monitor from

the speaker.

About the input

÷ In order to prevent damage to the speaker system

resulting from input overload, please observe the

following precautions:

÷ Do not use the speaker with anything other than the

specified Pioneer Plasma Display. Doing so may result

in damage or fire.

÷ 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.

÷ When using a tone control function to greatly

emphasize treble sounds, do not use excessive

amplifier volume.

Installation

÷ Consult your dealer if you encounter any difficulties

with this installation.

÷ Pioneer is not liable for any damage resulting from

improper installation, improper use, modification, or

natural disasters.

Connecting your Speaker Cables (to the

display)

Connect the cables correctly with respect to the

polarity of the Plasma Display and the speaker

terminals, that is, ª cable to ª terminals and ·

cable to · terminals. To do so, connect the cable

with the gray line to the ª terminals and the white

cable to the · terminals.

Push the lever, insert the end of the speaker cable

into the hole, and release the lever.

Pay attention to the polarity of the speaker

terminals when making connections. (The gray line

represents the red terminal)

NOTE:

• Press the lever and insert the end of

the cable.

• When you release the lever, it clamps

onto the speaker cable.

Caution

• 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.

• If you insert the speaker cable too far so

that the insulation is touching the

speaker terminal, you may not get any

sound. Please insert it with showing the

copper wire.

Connecting your Speaker Cables

(to the speaker)

CONNECTION TO A PLASMA DISPLAY

• Check if the end of the speaker cables are securely

connected to the terminals by slightly tugging on the

cable after making connections. Loose connections

may result in sound dropouts or noise.

• If there is a short in the  and  cables caused by an

exposed lead wire, excessive load may be applied to

the Plasma Display, resulting in interrupted operation or

malfunction.

• Incorrect connections of the speaker cable to the right

or left of the Plasma Display terminals with respect to

the polarity may result in insufficient stereo sound

effects, delivering poor bass sounds or unstable sound

image.

• Bundle the code without pulling the cord.
