Thank you for buying this Pioneer product. Please read through these
operating instructions so you will know how to operate your model
properly. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them
away in a safe place for future reference.
Caution: in use
Don’t use the speakers to output distorted sound for long
periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard.
Do not sit or stand on the speakers or let children play on the
speakers.
Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speakers.

Quick Tip
A speaker system's sound characteristics will change
depending on the environment and conditions under which the
system is. A speaker system can be used without problem
immediately after purchase, but its design performance
characteristics will be best demonstrated after breaking them
in by playing music for several dozen hours.
Before you start
The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 ohms.
Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load
impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with
“4 – 16 ” displayed on the speaker output terminals).
In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from
input overload, please observe the following precautions:
Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of the
maximum permissible input.
When connecting or disconnecting anything in your AV system,
make sure the amplifier is switched off.
When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in
the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier
volume.
Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud
volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be
increased, and you may damage the speaker).
Caution: installation
Do not place the speakers on an unstable surface. It could
present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment.
Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the
instructions when connecting up components. Make sure you
use the correct connecting cables.
The speaker system grill cannot be removed. Do not try to
forcibly remove it since doing so may damage the grille.
Connecting Speakers to Amplifier
1 Disconnect the power cord to the amplifier.
2 Use speaker wire to connect the input terminals on the rear panel
of the speakers to the amplifier's speaker output terminals.
Connect the hot-side speaker wire to the + speaker output
terminal; connect the common-side speaker wire to the - speaker
output terminal.
1. Remove insulation at end of wire and twist
ends of wire strands.
2. Loosen the terminal screw and insert the
twisted wire into the hole, then tighten the
terminal screw securely.
<Horizontal Installation> <Vertical Installation>
When using the supplied speaker stand in a horizontal
installation, pass the speaker wire through the speaker
stand before connecting. When mounting vertically, pass
the wires through the mounting fixture before connecting.
