Place speakers equal distances from your listening position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of the same length for each speaker.

50˚ – 60˚

If you are using a set of speakers for your TV sound, install the speakers at equal distances either side of the TV and point them in the same direction as the TV.

Do not place the speaker where it will be in direct sunlight, and avoid positioning it near heaters and air conditioners. This may cause warping and discoloration of the speaker cabinet and damage the speaker.

Pioneer assumes no liability whatsoever for damages resulting from assembly, improper mounting, insuffi- cient reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of nature, etc.

Using the spikes

This speaker system includes spikes that you can use to isolate the speaker from the floor. Spikes are recommended when placing the speakers on a thick carpet (for added stability), or for better sound when placing the speakers on a hard reverberant surface (such as a concrete or wood floor). Use the supplied spike bases to avoid scratching the floor or other surface where the speaker is placed.

resting on the spike bases on the floor.

Make sure the speaker is stable and resting squarely on all four spikes.

Caution: when using the spikes

Note that these spikes are sharp metal and can cause damage to flooring. Make sure to lay down a cloth or suitable base before setting up.

The speaker is very heavy (about 28 kg) and can cause serious damage or injury if you are attempting to adjust the spikes with the speaker standing or leaning. Make sure to lay down a cloth and make spike adjustments with the speaker laying flat. Two people or more during placement and setup is advised.

Connecting to an amplifier

Before connecting to your amplifier, make sure that the amp is switched off.

This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to a stereo. Note the following when selecting speaker cables.

Use heavy-gauge speaker cable if possible, and keep the cables to the minimum necessary length.

If the length of cable required for left and right speakers differs, use cables of the same length, matched to the longer distance.

Cables have differing characteristics. Keep this in mind when using any cable.

Select cables with as little resistance as possible, and make sure the cables to the speaker terminals and amp are firm and secure.

CAUTION

These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

Connecting the cables

1Switch off the power to your amplifier.

2Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals (lower) on the back of the speaker. For input terminal polarity, red is positive (+) and black is negative (–).

Grasp the cap knobs on the lower input terminals and rotate them to the left (counter-clockwise), insert the speaker cable wires into the holes in the terminal posts, then tighten the knobs to secure the short bar as well as the wires.
