The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or
distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level”
adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorised vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Installation guidelines
WARNING
!
This loudspeaker must be installed by a qualified technician as it involves such tasks as selecting a location for installation, drilling holes in walls/ceiling and wiring.
Have the installer carefully follow the installation instructions.
!
Certain technical skills are required to install the loudspeaker. Please have the product installed by a professional.
!
Pioneer is not responsible for any loss or damage that results from improper installation, insufficient strength of installation materials, misuse, modification or natural
disasters.
The XY-152 comes with pre-inserted mounting screws. These screws can be taken out and used to attach either special mounting hardware designed for the product or com-
mercially available mounting hardware. Make sure to attach a wire for preventing falling parts and equipment of adequate strength using screw holes not used by mounting
hardware.
WARNING
!
When attaching the speakers to the wall or ceiling, you should first confirm that the wall or ceiling being used is strong enough to support their weight. If you are unsure
then consult a specialist. If the speakers should fall then it could lead to serious injury, and is potentially very dangerous.
!
Check to make sure that any mounting hardware used is enough to support the system, whether using special hardware designed for the system or commercially availa-
ble hardware. Make sure to read the Introduction section in this manual and the instruction manual for the mounting hardware thoroughly before proceeding. Take every
precaution to prevent the product and associated parts from falling as they could cause serious injury if they fell onto a person.
!
Use screws suitable for ceiling material and screw mounting parts in solid locations.
!
After installation, you must confirm that the speakers are safely installed. You must also periodically check them to make sure that they are still safe.
!
Make sure to use mounting hardware of sufficient strength to secure the speaker in place when using non-designated hardware. The speaker could fall, causing acci-
dents, if not properly secured.
!
The fall prevention wire must be attached to a suitably strong location. The strength of the location to which the wire is attached being insufficient can lead to the speak-
ers falling or cause accidents. The fall prevention wire and screw to attach the fall prevention wire to the ceiling or wall are not supplied with the speakers, so please
purchase them separately.
!
When this product is placed in an elevated place such as on a shelf, a speaker may be moved by vibrations and fall to the floor, causing an injury or accident. Take meas-
ures to prevent a speaker from sliding off a shelf, etc.
!
Ensure that the floor or stage surface can withstand the weight of the system.
!
Wherever possible, avoid high stacks and use ratchet straps to secure loudspeakers together. Please also remember that vibrations from subwoofer systems can shake
other loudspeakers out of place, which may present a toppling hazard. The use of ratchet straps and non-slip material is recommended to prevent this.
