[. . . ] Since the sense of direction is lost, the subwoofer can be installed almost anywhere. If it is installed too far away, however, the sound from the left and right speakers may become unnatural. 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Left speaker Right speaker Recommended installation range for the subwoofer Listening position Front left speaker Center speaker Front right speaker Subwoofer Listening area Rear left speaker Rear right speaker To avoid interference with the picture on a nearby TV set, use magnetically shielded speaker systems. This is particularly important for the center speaker since it is usually located closest to the TV. [. . . ] If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set. Please install this unit away from the antenna cable of the tuner, as noise can be caused with installation close to the antenna cable. In such a case, use this unit at a position away from the antenna and the antenna cable, or when playback of extra bass is not required, switch off the power for this unit. When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 60 cm at the top, 10 cm at the rear, and 30 cm at each side). If not enough space is provided between the unit and walls or other equipment, heat will build up inside, interfering with performance or causing malfunctions. For ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, to prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked and covered with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc. Also do not put the apparatus on the thick carpet, bed, sofa, or fabric having a thick pile. Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surfaces. When pressed, power is turned ON; when pressed again, power is turned OFF. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement. Place the unit between the connection of the stereo amplifier's or receiver's speaker terminals and the left and right speakers. Make sure L (+), L (­), R (+), R (­) are correctly aligned. Make sure L (+), L (­), R (+), R (­) are correctly aligned. Connect the unit to the stereo amplifier's or receiver's speaker terminals at the same time the left and right speakers are connected. Fasten together the core of the speaker cord from the left/ right speaker system and one end of the speaker cord provided with the unit, and connect them to the speaker terminal on the stereo amplifier or receiver. Make sure L (+), L (­), R (+), R (­) are correctly aligned. If the stereo amplifier or receiver has 2 sets of speaker terminals (A, B) and these are connected to empty terminals on the unit and "A + B" is selected with the speaker switch, sound may not come out of the left/right speakers, depending on the stereo amplifier or receiver being used (a stereo amplifier or receiver is constructed so that, when "A + B" is selected with the speaker switch, A and B are in series connection). [. . . ] Connect power supply to amplifier and turn speaker switch on. Place the subwoofer a good distance from speakers. Turn the LEVEL knob counterclockwise to lower the volume. Increase the distance between the AM or FM antenna (for indoor use) and this unit. [. . . ]
