CABINET MAINTENANCE
•
Use a cloth to wipe away dust and dirt.
•
If the enclosure is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth
dipped in a neutral detergent diluted five to six
times with water, then wipe again with the dry
cloth.
•
Do not use thinner, benzene, cleaning sprays or
other chemical products on or near the enclosures
as the surfaces could be adversely affected.
NOTES:
•
Pioneer will not be responsible for any acci-
dents or damages resulting from improper in-
stallation.

1
Strip the insulation at the tip of the
wire and twist the strands.
2
Turn the thumbscrew anti-
clockwise, make sure that the
speaker wires are inserted well
into the hole and turn the
thumbscrew clockwise to fasten
into position.
If you insert the speaker wire too far so that the insulation is touching the
speaker terminal, you may not get any sound.
3
Connect the common-side
speaker wire to the
terminal.
4
Connect the hot-side speaker
wire to the terminal.
REMARKS:
• Check that the wires are securely connected to
the terminals. A loose connection may cause not
just intermittent or distorted sound but short-cir-
cuiting and breakdown of the amplifier.
• If there is too much exposed wire outside the
terminal, speaker wires may touch causing the
amplifier to short, damaging the amplifier and
making it unusable.
• If the wires of one of the speakers have been
connected with the wrong polarities, you will find
when listening to a stereo recording that bass
sounds are weakened and the stereo effect nor-
mally obtained between the two speakers does
not exist.
CONNECTIONS
•
Switch off the amplifier power supply (OFF).
•
Connect the speaker wires to the input terminals at
the rear of the speaker; connect the common-side
wire to the
·
terminal and the hot-side wire to the
ª
terminal. Bear in mind that the red input termi-
nal has a “
ª
“ polarity, and the black terminal has
a “
·
” polarity.
•
Connect the wire to the loudspeaker outlet termi-
nals of the amplifier. Connect the hot-side wire to
the
ª
terminal and the common-side wire to the
·
terminal.
CAUTION:
The speakers are equipped with a protection
device to protect the transducers from extreme
conditions. Under these conditions the protec-
tion device will activate and stop the speaker
from producing sound. If this happens shut off
the system for 5-10 minutes and allow the pro-
tection device to reset.
USING THE ACCESSORIES
Confirm that the following accesories are in the
box when you open it:
●
2 Speaker 1 polybag including 4 screws.
Before screwing the speaker stand
1
to the back of the
cabinet, thread the speaker wires through the opening in the
speaker stand and then connect them to the input terminal.
The 2 screws that hold the speaker stand must be screwed
into the dedicated inserts in the speaker.
This Mounting panel
2
will enable you to mount the
speaker system on your interior walls. Before screwing the
mounting panel, make sure that wires are properly connected
to the input terminal. The 2 screws that hold the mounting
panel must be fixed into the dedicated inserts in the speaker
system.

Caution
In order to prevent the speaker from falling
make sure the wall is sturdy enough to sup-
port the weight of the speaker. Do not mount
it on plywood boards or soft-surface walls.
Mount the speaker system on a flat wall, this
will reduce the pressure on the screws, avoid-
ing the risk of become loose, and preventing
the speaker system from falling. If you are
unsure of the quality and strength of the wall,
consults a professional for advice.
