[. . . ] Safety Precautions (A note on symbols used herein) In order to ensure that the product is used properly and safely, a number of different symbols are used to mark items designed to prevent bodily injury to yourself or any third parties or to prevent any damage to property from occurring. The meaning of these symbols is as explained below. Be sure to read the following descriptions carefully before reading the main text. Never place the speakers or monitor on an unsteady platform or uneven surface, as doing so might result in their falling and this in turn might result in bodily injury. [. . . ] Special care should also be taken when using the product in a home or other location where there are small children. 㷠Never attach the speakers to any devices other than the specified Plasma Displays, as doing so might result in fire or damage to the product. Be sure to follow the instructions below to protect your speakers from damage from excessive input levels. Never play signals at a level exceeding maximum input. When connecting this product or any other audio or visual equipment to an amplifier, be sure the power to the amplifier is turned off. Avoid raising the volume too high when using an graphic equalizer to greatly amplify high-frequency sounds. Never raise the volume too high when using a low-output amplifier. (Doing so would result in increased distortion in the amplifier's high-frequency range , and thus result in damage to the speakers. ) Note Depending on the manner of installation, there may be times when colors blur or other effects appear on screen if the speaker is placed in close proximity to any other type of monitor. If this happens, place the speakers at a distance from the monitor during use. The speakers are divided into a right (R) and left (L) speaker. When attaching the speakers, be sure to check to labels (R/L) located on the rear of the speakers. 1 Remove the seals from the cushions and then attach the cushions to the sides of the speakers in the locations indicated in the diagram below. 2 Screw the M8 screws loosely into the screw holes located at the top of the Plasma Display (2 locations). This product is marketed assuming that it is installed by qualified personnel with enough skill and competence. Always have an installation specialist or your dealer install and set up the product. PIONEER cannot assume liabilities for damage caused by mistake in installation or mounting, misuse, modification or a natural disaster. 3 Fit the hooks at the top of the speakers over the screws just inserted, then align the holes in the hooks of the speakers over the screw holes at the bottom of the Plasma Display and use the M8 screws to screw loosely into place. Be sure to turn off the power to the monitor before connecting the speakers. Once the cords have been connected, pull on the cords lightly to make sure that they have been connected firmly to the speaker jacks. An improper connection might result in the sound being interrupted or the appearance of noise in the output sound. Tighten the screws while pushing the speakers lightly against the Plasma Display. [. . . ] ¶ Scratching the cabinet or the speaker mesh protectors with a fingernail or the application of force using any other hard object may result in scratching. Also note that inserting any sharp object into the speaker mesh protectors may result in the opening of holes. Never apply insecticide or any other volatile materials on the cabinet. Also avoid leaving any rubber or plastic materials on the cabinet for any extended period of time, as doing so may result in warping or the peeling of the cabinet coating. [. . . ]
