User manual PIONEER SP-J420

[. . . ] When connecting or disconnecting cables, be sure amplifier power is OFF. Do not use excessive amplifier volume if using a graphic equalizer to emphasize high or low frequencies. IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections. Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving the best sound quality. [. . . ] Be careful to ensure proper polarity of connection. We recommend a minimum of 18 gauge for runs up to 25 feet, and thicker for longer runs. Strip off ½" of the insulation from the ends of the cable, twist the bare strands and insert into the binding posts. Take care that no stray strands of wire short across between the terminals. Do not install this speaker system near a stove or other heating appliance, or put it in a place exposed to the sun. Such locations may cause the cabinet to change color and the speaker system to break down. Remember that the SP-J420 is quite heavy, so it is dangerous to install it in high places such as on walls or pillars or in the other unstable locations unless suitably secured in place. Pioneer will not be responsible for any accidents or damage that may result from improper installation. If the speaker system is installed too close to the screen of a television set, color distortion may occur.

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. 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.
