1. REASSEMBLY AND DISASSEMBLY PRECAUTIONS
1.1 REMOVAL FROM THE CEILING
A
Note : Be sure to carefully remove the speaker with two
people, as the speaker may fall.
The speaker weighs 4.7 kg.
To remove the speaker from the ceiling, remove the grill
first.
(The grill is press-fit into the frame, with pieces of butyl
tape used together.)
To remove the grill, hook the special tool for removing the
grill to the holes located at the periphery of the grill, pull
the tool down so that the grill is displaced from the frame,
B
then remove the grill.
Ensure that the entire periphery of the grill is pulled
down evenly with the same force. If you pull only a
certain location forcibly, the grill may be deformed.
If butyl tape trails down from the frame, detach it from
the frame, crumple it into a ball, and attach it to the
place with a marking inside the raised part of the grill.
While one person is holding the speaker, loosen the 6
screws that secure the speaker to the ceiling until the
fixation claws fall inwards.
If a screw is completely removed, it can be returned to its
original position.
If the fixation claws get stuck and do not fall inwards,
waggle the speaker as if turning it, by holding its frame,
then remove it from the ceiling.
As the speaker is retained to a beam, etc. with a safety
belt, remove it.

Be sure to note the combination of colors of the speaker
cables and input terminals so that the cables can be
connected to the proper terminals during reattachment.
Disconnect the speaker cables from the input terminals.

1.2 REATTACHMENT TO THE CEILING 1.3 REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
Reattach the safety belt as it originally was attached.
Connect the speaker cables to the speaker.
Be sure to reconnect the cables as they were originally
connected, paying attention to the combination of
colors of the cables and the input terminals.
After connection, lightly pull the cables to ensure that
they are securely connected.
Make sure that the wires of a cable do not protrude
from the terminal and come into contact with other
wires.
At this stage, check that sound is properly output.
With the fixation claws fallen inwards, insert the speaker
into the ceiling, then lightly tighten the 6 screws for
fixation claws.
Lightly pull down the speaker to ensure that the 6 fixation
claws have been raised outwards to secure the speaker
to the ceiling.
Adjust the speaker position so that the Pioneer logo is
located as it originally was.
Tighten the 6 screws.
When using an electric screwdriver, gradually increase
the torque setting from the minimum value until a
value with which a screw starts rotating is reached,
then tighten the screw.
Tolerable maximum torque: 1.0 N·m
Make sure that no screw is loose and that there is no
gap between the ceiling and the frame.
The LPF Network Assy with a fastener and packing
attached is attached to the frame with two screws.
To remove the LPF Network Assy, disconnect the cables
of the HPF Network Assy then remove the two screws
that secure the LPF Network Assy to the frame.
To replace the LPF Network Assy, first remove the
screws and nuts that secure the fastener.
Then attach a new LPF Network Assy, using the
removed screws and nuts, then reinforce the screws and
nuts with rubber-based adhesive.
Adhere the packing to the PCB board.
The HPF Network Assy is attached to the inside of the
CST chamber with two screws (CST subframe, fastener,
and frame secured together).
To remove the HPF Network Assy, first remove the CST
speaker (midrange/tweeter), CST subframe, and acoustic
absorbents, then remove the LPF Network Assy from the
frame.
Then disconnect the cables from the LPF Network Assy,
remove the model label, then pull out the cables toward
the inside.
To replace the HPF Network Assy, first remove the
screws and nuts that secure the fastener.
Then attach a new HPF Network Assy, using the
removed screws and nuts, then reinforce the screws and
nuts with rubber-based adhesive.
Adhere the packing to the PCB board and cables.
When reassembling the HPF Network Assy, reinforce the
sealing packing for cables and the frame with rubberbased adhesive.

If a new grill is to be attached, attach 6 pieces of butyl
tape, as shown in the figure below, then remove the
paper liner.
Butyl tape
Mark
Insert the grill into the frame, with the cutout in the raised
part of the back of the grill facing the centerline of the
speakers.
Be sure to push the periphery of the grill until it stops. If
you push on the center of the grill, it may be deformed.
Cutout
The CST speaker (midrange/tweeter) is attached with 4
screws from the outside.
The CST subframe is attached with 2 screws from the
inside and 5 screws from the outside.
As three types of screws are used, be careful when
reassembling.
The Level Control Assy is attached to the CST subframe.
To remove the Assy, remove the CST speaker and CST
subframe first.
The Woofer is attached with 6 screws from the outside.
To remove it, first remove the CST speaker. If it is difficult
to remove the cables connected to the Woofer, remove
the LPF Network Assy first, then remove the cables
connected to the Woofer.
When reattaching the Woofer, place the Woofer so that
the terminal board faces the inside.
