What's in the box

Features of this speaker system

· Construction follows leading-edge TAD technology

· Beryllium dual-concentric tweeter

· Aramid/carbon fiber reinforced composite 18 cm woofer

· Perfect time alignment design

Before you start

· The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6

Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load

impedance ranging from 4

to 16 (a model with "4

" displayed on the speaker output terminals).

· Do not touch the speaker cones as they are easily

damaged.

· Do not place magnetic objects such as screwdrivers or

iron parts near the tweeter or midrange. Since the

speakers use strong magnets, the objects may be

attracted, causing injury or damaging the diaphragm.

In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting

from input overload, please observe the following precau-

tions:

· Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of

the maximum permissible input.

· When connecting or disconnecting anything in your AV

system, make sure the amplifier is switched off.

· When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud

sounds in the high-frequency range, do not use exces-

sive amplifier volume.

· Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce

loud volumes of sound (the amplifier's harmonic

distortion will be increased, and you may damage the

speaker).

Caution: installation

· Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface. It

could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the

equipment. If placing the speaker on a thick carpet, we

recommend using the supplied speaker spikes for

stability.

· Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult

the instructions when connecting up components. Make

sure you use the correct connecting cables.

· Do not put a TV or other AV equipment on top of this

speaker. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as

damaging the equipment.

· Do not install your speakers overhead on the ceiling or

wall. If improperly attached, the speaker grille can fall

and cause damage or personal injury.

· Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They

may fall off and cause injury.

Caution: in use

· Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for

long periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard.

· Do not sit or stand on the speaker, or let children play on

the speaker.

· Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speaker.

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or

cords associated with accessories sold with the

product will expose you to chemicals listed on

proposition 65 known to the State of California and

other governmental entities to cause cancer and

birth defect or other reproductive harm.

Installing your speaker

Please observe the following points when installing speakers:

· Sounds played through speaker systems are easily

affected in subtle ways by the conditions in the listening

space.

· On the rear of the speaker is a hole provided to attach a

metal catch. This is for stabilizing the speaker so that in

the event of an earthquake etc., the speaker does not fall

over. Use the supplied screws to attach the catches.

· Spike bases x4

· Nuts (for spikes)

· Hex wrench

· Metal catch x1

· Screw (for metal catch)

· Fastening screws

(for grille) x4

· Finishing screws

(for grille) x4

· Caps x10

· Grille x1

· Operating instructions

English

· Screw two picture hooks or similar into the wall behind

the speaker. Pass a chain or cord around the hooks and

through the metal catch so that the speaker is stabilized

(make sure to test that it supports the weight of the

speaker).

· After installing, make sure the speaker is securely fixed.

· For good sound, the speaker should be about 20 cm

away from the back wall and at least 50 cm away from

the side wall. If the room has a lot of reverberation, we

recommend hanging heavy fabric on the walls, and/or

putting a carpet on the floor to damp the sound. For best

results, cover walls completely.

· Place speakers equal distances from your listening

position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of the

same length for each speaker.

· If you are using a set of speakers for your TV sound,

install the speakers at equal distances either side of the

TV and point them in the same direction as the TV.

· Do not place the speaker where it will be in direct

sunlight, and avoid positioning it near heaters and air

conditioners. This may cause warping and discoloration

of the speaker cabinet and damage the speaker.

· Pioneer assumes no liability whatsoever for damages

resulting from assembly, improper mounting, insuffi-

cient reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of

nature, etc.

Using the spikes

There are four metal spikes built-in to the speaker base that

you can use to isolate the speaker from the floor. Spikes are

recommended when placing the speakers on a thick carpet

(for added stability), or for better sound when placing the

speakers on a hard reverberant surface (such as a concrete

or wood floor). Use the supplied spike pads to avoid scratch-

ing the floor or other surface where the speaker is placed.

Choose the location for speaker placement then put

the spike bases on the floor.

Remove the protective cover from the top of the leg

support.

Place the speaker upright so that the corners are

resting on the spike bases on the floor.

Insert and turn the supplied hex wrench until the

spike protrudes from the base.

Do this in turn for each spike, making sure all four corners

are of even height and the speaker is stable and resting

squarely on all four spikes.

After the spike lengths are even, tighten the nuts to

fix the spikes in place.

Caution: when using the spikes

· Note that these spikes are sharp metal and can cause

damage to flooring. Make sure to lay down a cloth or

suitable base before setting up.

· The speaker is very heavy (about 66 kg) and can cause

serious damage or injury if you are attempting to tighten

the nuts with the speaker standing or leaning. Make

sure to lay down a cloth and tighten the nuts with the

speaker laying flat. Two people or more during place-

ment and setup is advised.

Connecting to an amplifier

Before connecting to your amplifier, make sure that the amp is

switched off.

This speaker does not include speaker cables used for

connecting to a stereo. Note the following when selecting

speaker cables.

· Use heavy-gauge speaker cable if possible, and keep the

cables to the minimum necessary length.

· If the length of cable required for left and right speakers

differs, use cables of the same length, matched to the

longer distance.

· Cables have differing characteristics. Keep this in mind

when using any cable.

· Select cables with as little resistance as possible, and

make sure the cables to the speaker terminals and amp

are firm and secure.

CAUTION

These speaker terminals carry

HAZARDOUS LIVE

voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when

connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,

disconnect the power cord before touching any

uninsulated parts.

D3-4-2-2-3_A_En

Connecting the cables

Switch off the power to your amplifier.

Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals

(lower) on the back of the speaker. For input terminal

polarity, red is positive (+) and black is negative ().

Grasp the cap knobs on the lower input terminals and rotate

them to the left (counter-clockwise), insert the speaker cable

wires into the holes in the terminal posts, then tighten the

knobs to secure the short bar as well as the wires.

· You can also use banana plugs for this connection. To do

so, you must first remove the caps from the terminal

posts.

Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp's

speaker output terminals (for more details, refer to your

amp owner's manual).

· After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to

make sure that the ends of the cables are securely

connected to the terminals. Poor connections can

create noise and interruptions in the sound.

· If the cables' wires happen to be pushed out of the

terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with

each other, it places an excessive additional load on the

amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and

may even damage the amp.

· When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier,

you won't be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the

polarity (

) of one of the speakers (left or right) is

reversed.

Bi-wiring Connections

Bi-wiring requires two cables for each speaker, one for high

frequencies and one for low frequencies. Using separate

cables for the high end and low end improves the sound.

Loosen the cap knobs on the left input terminals and

remove the two short bars.

In this state, the low-frequency speakers and the higher-

frequency speakers are completely independent. Store the

short bars in a safe place for later use. The lower terminals

are for the bass, and the upper terminals are for midrange

and treble sounds.

Insert a speaker cable into each of the terminal post

holes, then tighten the knobs.

Caution: when bi-wiring

Note that in this setup, connecting the cables with the

polarity reversed may seriously degrade the tone; refer to the

section "Connecting the cables" again and confirm that the

cables are connected properly.

Connect the matched pairs to the same speaker

terminals on your amp (taking care not to get the

polarity reversed).

Make sure to use the same type of cable for the low-fre-

quency and the same type for the high-frequency connec-

tions.

When bi-amping

Bi-amping is an even more powerful way of connecting your

speakers. Just as with bi-wiring, the input terminal short bars

are removed, but here the low-frequency terminals are

connected to a separate, dedicated low-frequency amp, and

the high-frequency terminals are connected to a dedicated

high-frequency amp.

Attaching and removing the front grille

The front grille of this speaker system is removable. Follow

the instructions below to attach/remove the grilles.

Attaching the grille

Insert the supplied fastening screws into the four

holes provided on the front of the speaker.

Use your fingers (not a screwdriver) to secure the screws to

the front of the speaker.

Line up the holes on the grille with the protruding

ends of the screws on the front of the speaker and press

firmly.

Insert the supplied finishing screws into the four

holes on the front of the grille and tighten to secure.

Use your fingers to tighten the finishing screws.

Removing the grille

Loosen, then remove the finishing screws from the

four corners on the front of the grille.

After detaching the grille, remove the fastening

screws from the four holes on the front of the speaker.

Optionally, you can insert the supplied caps into the holes.

· Do not use a screwdriver (or hex wrench) to tighten the

screws. Overtightening could damage the speaker.

· When not in use, store the screws with these operating

instructions for safekeeping.

Magnetic shielding

This speaker system is magnetically shielded. However,

depending on the installation location, color distortion may

occur if the speaker system is installed extremely close to the

screen of a television set.

If this happens, turn off the television, then turn it on again

after 15 min to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the

speaker system away from the television set.

Cleaning the speaker cabinet

With normal use, wiping with a dry cloth should be sufficient

to keep the cabinet clean. If necessary, clean with a cloth

dipped in a neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with

water, and wrung out well. Do not use furniture wax or

cleansers.

Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other

chemicals on or near this unit since these will corrode the

surfaces.
