Wall mounting the speakers

The front speaker have mounting holes.

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.

Cautions:

• If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the wall, consult a professional for advice.

• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

Mounting screw (not supplied)

Front right Front left

Note:

Do not connect the supplied speakers to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in malfunction or fire.

Additional notes on speaker placement

• Install the 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 off as a safety measure.

• The front speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distor tion 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 floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the subwoofer.

• Do not attach the subwoofer to a wall or ceiling.They may fall off and cause injury.
