How to install
Choosing where to place the speaker systems
• Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in
subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space.
• For best sound, choose a solid floor upon which to place the
speakers, and position the speakers as shown below. The level
of low sounds can be adjusted by moving the speakers closer
to or further from the wall. Adjust the speakers so that they are
equidistant from their respective side walls to assure balanced
sound.
• Place the left and right speakers equal distances from your
listening position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of
the same length for each speaker.
• So far as possible, place the front left and front right speakers
on the same plane as the TV screen.
• To achieve optimum surround sound, you should place the TV
between the left and right speakers, with the speakers
pointing at a 50 to 60 degree angle toward the listening
position.
• 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.
• These speakers are bookshelf-type speakers which will give
their best performance when placed on a solid, level surface
off the floor. Placing the speakers directly on the floor will
result in boomy, undefined sound. Ideally, the tweeters should
be at about ear level when seated in your listening position.
We recommend using the CP-31B speaker stand for optimal
sound and stability.
If you choose to use the CP-31B speaker stand, make sure
you secure it with the screws provided.
(for more details, refer to the operating instructions of
CP-31B)
• This unit has two screw holes on the bottom panel. These
holes are meant for joint use with speaker brackets and
speaker stands; speaker brackets are commercially available
and can be used to mount the speakers on a wall. The diagram
below shows the spacing and size of the holes. When
choosing a speaker bracket, make sure that it can hold at least
2.5 kg. Please also read the instructions that come with the
bracket. Speakers that are not mounted properly are a hazard.
• Pass a commercially-available reinforced string through the
safety metal to securely support the speaker to the wall. Be
sure that the wall to which you fasten the speaker is strong
enough to support the weight of the speaker. After fastening
the speaker, make sure that it does not fall over.
Mounting the Safety metal for Fall-Prevention
• Do not attach the safety metal directly to the wall. It should
only be used in conjunction with reinforced string to prevent
the speaker from falling.
• Using the included screw, tightly secure the safety metal to
the backside of the speaker.
• Pass two reinforced strings through the safety metal, and
fasten the speaker to the wall as shown above.
• If you mount the speakers on the wall or ceiling, first make
sure that the mounting surface can bear at least 2.5 kg. If
you’re unsure of the load capability, please seek professional
advice.
After installing, make sure the speakers are securely fixed.
• Pioneer assumes no liability whatsoever for damages
resulting from assembly, improper mounting, insufficient
reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of nature, etc.
