[. . . ] · For optimum effect, install the rear speakers above ear level. · Install the centre speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen. · Do not install these speakers close to an oven or heating appliance. High temperature can distort the structure of the enclosure and adversely affect the sound. [. . . ] The 2 screws that hold the mounting panel must be fixed into the dedicated inserts in the speaker system. Caution REMARKS: · Check that the wires are securely connected to the terminals. A loose connection may cause not just intermittent or distorted sound but short-circuiting 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 normally obtained between the two speakers does not exist. In order to prevent the speaker from falling make sure the wall is sturdy enough to support 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, avoiding 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. q 1 Operating instruction/Warranty NOTES: · Pioneer will not be responsible for any accidents or damages resulting from improper installation. CAUTION: The speakers are equipped with a protection device to protect the transducers from extreme conditions. Under these conditions the protection device will activate and stop the speaker from producing sound. If this happens shut off the system for 5-10 minutes and allow the protection device to reset. 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. 2 www. pioneerelectronics. com SPECIFICATIONS Enclosure: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
