for Front surround setup.
Wall mounting the center speaker
The center speaker has a mounting hole which can be
used to mount the speaker on the wall.
Wall mounting the speakers
(RCS-404H/RCS-505H)
In addition to the center speaker, the front and surround
speakers also 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.
Before mounting
• 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
wall, consult a professional for advice.
• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or
damage that result from improper installation.
Additional notes on speaker placement
• Install the main front left and right speakers at an
equal distance from the TV.
•
RCS-404H/505H only:
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.
Precautions:
• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV,
be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable
means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV
due to external shocks such as earthquakes,
endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.
