Before mounting (see above), keep in mind the following points:

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.

Caution

If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice.

Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

Subwoofer and (CX303/CX505 model only) front speakers only – Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.
