BEFORE USE
• Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
• Please read through this operating guide before using your
speaker system to optimize performance.
FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND SPEAKERS
• In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting
from input overload, please observe the following precautions:
• Do not supply signal to the speaker system in excess of the
maximum permissible input.
• When connecting or disconnecting cables, be sure amplifier
power is OFF.
• Do not use excessive amplifier volume if using a tone control
to emphasize high or low frequencies.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND SPEAKERS
• 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.
•
The front, center and surround speakers supplied with
this system are magnetically shielded. However,
placing them extremely close to a television may result
in color distortion on the screen. If this happens, move
the speakers a little further away and switch off the
television for 15-30 minutes.
SUBWOOFER
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet.
• Do not spill liquid on the cabinet.
• Place the subwoofer at least 8 inches from any wall or curtain
in order to avoid heat build-up.
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.
CAUTION:
•
Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any
other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.
Do not fix the subwoofer and center speaker to the wall or
•
ceiling; they could cause injury if they fell.
Pioneer will not be responsible for any accidents or damage
•
that may result from improper installation.
WARNING:
Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with
accessories sold with the product will expose you to lead, a
chemical known
governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm.

CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM
IMPORTANT:
Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any
connections.
FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND / SUBWOOFER
SPEAKERS
Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving
the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure proper polarity of
connection.
Twist and pull off the protective shields on
each wire.
Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear
of the receiver.
Match the colored wire with the color-coded label (above
the tabs), then insert the colored wire into the red (+) tab
and the other wire with the black (–) tab.
PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING

FRONT SPEAKERS
For best results the loudspeaker should be positioned near ear
level and the loudspeakers separated a distance approximately
equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers 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.
CENTER SPEAKER
The loudspeaker should be positioned below the TV. For best
results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front of the
TV. If the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very close to
the floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.
SURROUND SPEAKERS
For best results the loudspeakers should be positioned at or
above ear level. Depending upon your room layout and
preferences, the left and right rear speakers should be
positioned on the side walls just the rear of the listening
position, or on the walls. Place the rear center speaker directly
behind the listening position for best performance.
provide a space of at least 8 inches
of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.
CENTER SPEAKER ONLY
Connect the speaker cords to the
of
center speaker.
Match the colored wire with the color-coded label (above
the tabs), then insert the colored wire into the red (+) tab
and the other wire with the black (–) tab.

NON-SKID PADS
If the front, center and surround speakers are placed on a hard
surface, such as wood or tile place four non-skid pads (small)
on the
bottom flat surface of the speakers.
If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor, such as wood or tile,
place four non-skid pads (large) on the bottom surface of the
subwoofer.
CABINET MAINTENANCE
Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
When the cabinet is very dirty, clean with a soft cloth dipped in
some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and
then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or
cleaners.
Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and other
chemicals on or near the cabinets, since these will corrode
the surfaces.
CAUTION:
The front speakers are equipped with a protection device to
protect the transducers from extreme conditions. Under
these conditions the protection device will activate and stop
the speaker from producing sound. If this happens turn the
volume down to resume normal speaker output.
