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
bottom 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.

The left and right speakers themselves are identical,
but become left and right speakers by attaching the
left and right speaker mounting brackets.
There are top and bottom speaker mounting brackets
for both the left and the right speaker. Attach the
appropriate bracket to the top and the bottom on the
back of the speakers with the enclosed screws. (See
