Installation and Placement

How to install

This speaker system is supported by three points (the front two legs, and the back spike located between the back two legs).

Front

Nut (for spike)

Cabinet base

Back

Back spike

 

Legs

1Choose the location for speaker placement then put the spike bases on the floor.

2Place the speaker on top of the spike bases.

3If either the left or right back legs touches the ground before the back spike, resulting in the speaker not resting flat on its placed surface, adjust the back spike so it extends to the ground before either of the back legs.

4Place the included mounting pads underneath the back legs to keep the speaker stable.

Choose the most appropriate thickness of mounting pad from the several types included.

Mounting the Fall-Prevention Fastener

Using the included screw, tightly secure the metal catch to the backside of the speaker.

Pass a commercially-available reinforced string through the metal catch to securely support the speaker to the wall. Be sure that the wall to which you fasten the speaker is strong enough to support the weight of the speaker. After fastening the speaker, make sure that it does not fall over.

The speaker can incur damage in the event of a fall.

Do not attach the metal catch directly to the wall. It should only be used in conjunction with reinforced string to prevent the speaker from falling.

Metal catch

Sufficiently thick cord

Backside of speaker

Pass two reinforced strings through the metal catch, and fasten the speaker to the wall as shown above.

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

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

Mounting pad

Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment.

As a precautionary measure, be sure to not place the unit anywhere where it might fall on a sleeping individual in the event of an earthquake.

As this unit weighs some 48 kg, it is very dangerous to try and set the spike nut while tilting the speaker. Be sure to place the unit on a soft area (such as a blanket) so that it does not damage the floor, and carry out the installation with at least two people.
