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 /
SUBWOOFER
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 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.

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 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.

CONTENU DE L'EMBALLAGE
MANUAL DE USO
SISTEMA DE ALTAVOCES
ANTES DE USAR
·
Gracias por comprar un producto Pioneer.
·
Para obtener el máximo rendimiento del equipo, lea esta
manual antes de usarlo.
ALTAVOCES FRONTALES / CENTRAL / SURROUND /
SUBWOOFER
Para evitar daños al sistema de altavoces a causa de una
sobrecarga en el nivel de entrada, tome las siguientes medidas
de precaución:
·
Al conectar o desconectar los cables, asegúrese de que el
amplificador está apagado.
·
Si utiliza un control de tono para resaltar los agudos o
graves, no aumente demasiado el volumen del amplificador.
MEDIDAS DE PRECAUCIÓN DURANTE LA
INSTALACIÓN
ALTAVOCES FRONTALES / CENTRAL / SURROUND
·
Ni instale estas unidades cerca de una estufa o cualquier
otro aparato de calefacción, ni las exponga a la luz del sol.
Si lo hace, las cajas de los altavoces se podrían decolorar y
las propias unidades se podría deteriorar.
·
Los altavoces frontales, central y surround suministrados
con este sistema incorporan una protección magnética. Sin
embargo, si los coloca demasiado cercan de un televisor,
podría provocar distorsiones de color en la pantalla. Si así
fuera, aleje los altavoces y apague el televisor entre 15 y 30
minutos.
SUBWOOFER
·
No coloque objetos encima de la caja.
·
No derrame líquidos sobre la caja.
·
Sitúe el subwoofer al menos a 20 cm de cualquier pared o
cortina para evitar la acumulación de calor.
·
El subwoofer no incorpora protección magnética y, por lo
tanto, no se debe colocar cerca de un televisor o monitor.
Tampoco se deben dejar cerca del subwoofer soportes de
almacenamiento magnéticos tales como los disquetes,
casetes y cintas de vídeo.
ADVERTENCIA:
· No conecte este altavoz a ningún amplificador que no sea
el suministrado con el sistema. Si lo conecta a otro
amplificador, podría provocar fallos de funcionamiento e,
incluso, un incendio.
· No instale el subwoofer y el altavoz central en la pared o
en el techo. Podrían caerse y causar lesiones.
