Connect the common-side speaker cordto the HF of LF terminal.+ +Connect the hot-side speaker cord to theHF or LF terminal.1 Strip the insulation at the tip of the cordand twist the strands.2 Turn the thumbscrew anti-clockwise,make sure that the speaker cord isinserted well into the hole and turn thethumbscrew clokwise to fasten intoposition.43HFHFLFLF12In order to minimize the transmission of vibrations from the speaker to the floor,Pioneer offers two possibilities :4 foam cushions to be stuck on theunderside of the speaker system.4 metal decoupling spikes to bescrewed under the speaker system(after having unscrewed the 4 metalfeet).If desired (especially with polishedwood floors), you can also employ the4 provided metal bases between the 4decoupling spikes and the floor.This speaker system is heavy and fragile, and it is therefore dangerous to install itin an unstable position. For added safety, it is advisable to attach these speakersto a wall or pillar using chains and hooks (not supplied). To do so, screw theprovided metal ring to the back of the speaker cabinet and then pass a chain orcable through the metal ring.The speaker units in this speaker system are magnetically shielded.However, colours may blur if the speakers are positioned too close to atelevision screen. If this happens, switch off the television and switch itback on again after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem persists, move thespeakers away from the television set.BEFORE OPERATIONThank you for buying this PIONEER product.Read the Instruction Manual carefully before using this speaker system so thatyou can operate it properly. After you have finished, put this manual away in asafe place for future reference.The rated impedance of this speaker system is 6 :. It must be connected to aamplifier which accepts this type of load (miminum and maximum impedancesaccepted by the amplifier are generally indicated near the loudspeaker outlets: forexample "4 : to 16 :" or "6 : to 16 :").To guard against damage to this speaker system due to an electric poweroverload, take the following precautions:Do not supply more than the maximum permitted power to the speakersystem (see Specifications).Any connection or switching on or off of part of the audio system (CDplayer, tuner etc.) must be carried out after switching off the amplifier or atleast with the loudspeaker outlets disconnected (if the amplifier allows).Interference caused by these operations will otherwise reach the speakerand may damage the treble loudspeaker units.When boosting particular frequencies using a graphic equaliser or bassand treble correctors, make sure that you do not increase the amplifiervolume excessively, as the speaker will be overloaded more quickly.Do not force a low-power amplifier to produce a high level of sound asharmonic distortion increases rapidly in this situation and may pose adanger to the treble speaker units.Avoid touching the diaphragms and suspensions of speakers units as they arefragile.INSTALLATIONCONNECTIONSSwitch off the amplifier power supply (OFF).Connect the cables to the input terminals on the rear of the speaker: Connectthe neutral cable to the HF or LF terminal and the live cable to the HF orLF terminal.+Accessory partsInstruction Manual ................................................................................................ 1Warranty ............................................................................................................... 1Foam cushions .................................................................................................... 4Decoupling spikes + base ................................................................................... 4Ring + screw ........................................................................................................ 1REMARK : The specifications and design of this product are subject to changewithout notice, in the interests of improvements.ADVICES AND PRECAUTIONS :For optimum sound reproduction of high frequencies, the treble speaker unitsmust be at the same height as the listener's ears.For low frequencies, it is possible to increase the level of bass sounds bypositioning the speakers close to a wall (the maximum increase being obtainedfor a position in a corner of the listening room).REMARKS :For a bi-wiring connection, first remove the cables which link the two pairs ofinput terminals labelled HF and LF , and HF and LF .Check that the cables are securely connected to the terminals. A looseconnection may cause not just intermittent or distorted sound but short-circuitingand breakdown of the amplifier.If the cables of one of the speakers have been connected with the wrongpolarities, you will find when listening to a stereo recording that bass sounds areweakened and the stereo effect normally obtained between the two speakersdoes not exist.Connect the cables to the loudspeaker outlet terminals of the amplifier. Connectthe live cable to the terminal and the neutral cable to the terminal.+SPECIFICATIONSSpeaker ...............................................................
