IMPORTANT: THE MOULDED PLUG
This appliance is supplied with a moulded three pin mains plug for your safety and convenience. A 5 amp fuse is fitted in this plug. Should the
fuse need to be replaced, please ensure that the replacement fuse has a rating of 5 amps and that it is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362.

If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug
must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer.
If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of
safely. There is a danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp socket.
If a new plug is to be fitted, please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT: The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC
outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed
and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and
mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of
this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.

the mains plug from the wall socket when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).
D3-4-2-2-1a_A_En
CAUTION
The Standby/On switch on this unit will not
completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,
make sure the unit has been installed so that the
power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC
outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,
the power cord should also be unplugged from the
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time
(for example, when on vacation).

Before you start
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.
• 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.
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.
• Do not install your speakers overhead on the ceiling or wall.
• Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury.
• Keep the speaker away from water and moisture. Do not place the speaker in the bathroom or
other places where it will be exposed to extreme moisture.
Usage precautions
• Conditions considered unpleasant by humans are detrimental to speakers as well. Providing a
comfortable environment for the speakers will assist them in demonstrating their best
performance. Please maintain the usage environment as follows:
Temperature: 15 °C to 25 °C
Relative Humidity: 35 % to 65 % (winter)
40 % to 70 % (summer)
• In areas of high humidity, use a dehumidifier, and in areas of excessive dryness, use a humidifier
to adjust the room’s humidity level.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, and do not install in areas nearby heating appliances.
• When using room air-conditioners or stoves to rapidly cool or heat room spaces, take precautions
to avoid excessive dehumidification.
• Avoid locations near windows or in other locations where speakers may be exposed to the
influence of outdoor air, since condensation may result.
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.
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.
About this speaker
• Using this system, you can listen to sound sources from the Power Line Sound Station simply by
plugging the power cord into an AC outlet in your home. For example, you could place the Power
Line Sound Station in the living room of your house, then set up separate speakers in your
kitchen, hallway and bedroom to listen to music wherever you want in your home.
• Thanks to the remote sensor on the optional XW-PSS01-L speaker supplied with this system, you
can control the Power Line Sound Station, even while listening to music in another room.
Installation
Speaker systems are delicately influenced by the conditions of the listening room where they are used.
As a result, you should take care to provide optimum conditions for your listening environment.
Note: Pioneer refuses any responsibility for damage or accidents resulting from improper
installation.
• Each speaker weighs 2.8 kg. Select a stable surface for installation.
Operating range of remote control unit
The Power Line Sound Station can be controlled by the remote via the speaker’s remote sensor. The
operating range of the remote is shown below.
The remote control may not work properly if:
• There are obstacles between the remote control and the speaker's remote sensor.
• Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the remote sensor.
• The speaker is located near a device that is emitting infrared rays.
• The speaker is operated simultaneously with another infrared remote control unit.

POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the

short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. 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. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.
