01Speaker Setup Guide

Wall mounting the front and surround speaker system

The front and surround speakers have holes for wall mounting. However, if you are using the Front Surround setup described on the previous page, do not wall mount the surround speakers.

Caution

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

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

Attaching the brackets

•Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as securely as possible when attaching the bracket to the back of the speaker.

•Please do not attach the brackets to the center speaker.

Bracket screw (supplied)

5 mm 10 mm

Mounting screw (not supplied)

5 mm to 7 mm

Before mounting

•Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its weight could cause the wood screws to work loose, or the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the wall on which you intend to mount the speakers is strong enough to support them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.

•Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are suitable for the wall material and that will support the weight of the speaker.

Additional notes on speaker placement

•Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.

•For optimum effect, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.

•Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

•When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with suitable means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.

•This front, center and surround speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if the speaker is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this happens, turn the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

•The receiver 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 receiver subwoofer.

Caution

•Do not attach the center speaker or the receiver subwoofer to the wall or ceiling; they could cause injury if they fell.

•Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

•Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied to this system.

•For safety, make sure that there is no exposed bare speaker wire outside of the speaker terminals.
