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:
· 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 to 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 (20 cm) 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 this speaker to any amplifier other than
the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other
amplifier may result in a malfunction or a fire.
· Do not attach the subwoofer and center speaker to the
wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.
WARNING:
Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with
accessories sold with the product will expose you to
chemicals listed on proposition 65 known to the State of
California and other governmental entities to cause cancer
and birth defect 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.
To connect, insert the colored wire into the matching positive
(colored) terminal and the other wire into the negative (black)
terminal as shown below.
Note that the color-coded tabs are as follows:
· Red : Front right (R)
· Purple : Subwoofer
· White : Front left (L)
· Grey : Surround right (R)
· Green : Center speaker
· Blue : Surround left (L)
Colored marker
Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the
speakers.
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
SUBWOOFER
Sound spreads in all directions in the very low frequency range.
Human hearing cannot easily detect the source of very low
frequencies. Be sure to provide a space of at least 8 inches (20
cm) between the rear of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.
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.

STANDARD SURROUND SETUP
This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup
for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.
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.
WALL-MOUNTING THE FRONT, CENTER
AND SURROUND SPEAKER SYSTEM
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.
NOTE
· If you are unsure of the quality and strength of the walls, consult
a professional for advice.
· Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that
result from improper installation.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's
time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement
your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic
Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you
to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without
affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort
level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds
"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE
your hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
· Start your volume control at a low setting.
· Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably
andclearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
· Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for
a lifetime.
We Want You Listening ForA Lifetime
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime
of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is
often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group
recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.
This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
