BEFORE OPERATION
Thank you for buying this PIONEER product.
Read the Instruction Manual carefully before using this speaker system so that you can operate it properly. After you have finished, put this manual away in a safe place for future reference.
The rated impedance of this speaker system is 6 :. It must be connected to a amplifier which accepts this type of load (miminum and maximum impedances accepted by the amplifier are generally indicated near the loudspeaker outlets: for example "4 : to 16 :" or "6 : to 16 :").
To guard against damage to this speaker system due to an electric power overload, take the following precautions:
Do not supply more than the maximum permitted power to the speaker system (see Specifications).
Any connection or switching on or off of part of the audio system (CD player, tuner etc.) must be carried out after switching off the amplifier or at least with the loudspeaker outlets disconnected (if the amplifier allows). Interference caused by these operations will otherwise reach the speaker and may damage the treble loudspeaker units.
When boosting particular frequencies using a graphic equaliser or bass and treble correctors, make sure that you do not increase the amplifier volume excessively, as the speaker will be overloaded more quickly.
Do not force a
Avoid touching the diaphragms and suspensions of speakers units as they are fragile.
The speaker units in this speaker system are magnetically shielded. However, colours may blur if the speakers are positioned too close to a television screen. If this happens, switch off the television and switch it back on again after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem persists, move the speakers away from the television set.
INSTALLATION
1In order to minimize the transmission of vibrations from the speaker to the floor, Pioneer offers two possibilities :
4 foam cushions to be stuck on the underside of the speaker system.
4 metal decoupling spikes to be screwed under the speaker system (after having unscrewed the 4 metal feet).
If desired (especially with polished wood floors), you can also employ the 4 provided metal bases between the 4 decoupling spikes and the floor.
2This speaker system is heavy and fragile, and it is therefore dangerous to install it in an unstable position. For added safety, it is advisable to attach these speakers to a wall or pillar using chains and hooks (not supplied). To do so, screw the provided metal ring to the back of the speaker cabinet and then pass a chain or cable through the metal ring.
ADVICES AND PRECAUTIONS :
For optimum sound reproduction of high frequencies, the treble speaker units must be at the same height as the listener's ears.
For low frequencies, it is possible to increase the level of bass sounds by positioning the speakers close to a wall (the maximum increase being obtained for a position in a corner of the listening room).
Do not install the speakers close to an oven or heating appliance. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight. High temperatures can distort the structure of the enclosure and adversely affect the sound.
CONNECTIONS
Switch off the amplifier power supply (OFF).
Connect the cables to the input terminals on the rear of the speaker: Connect the neutral cable to the HF
or LF 
terminal and the live cable to the HF + or LF + terminal.

If the cables of one of the speakers have been connected with the wrong polarities, you will find when listening to a stereo recording that bass sounds are weakened and the stereo effect normally obtained between the two speakers does not exist.
MAINTENANCE OF THE ENCLOSURE
Use a cloth to wipe away dust and dirt.
If the enclosure is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent diluted five to six times with water, then wipe again with the dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzene, cleaning sprays or other chemical products on or near the enclosures as the surfaces could be adversely affected.
