Operating Instructions
Setting the speaker ID
When the speaker is used as an optional speaker with the Power Line Sound Station, it is necessary to
assign it an ID in order for the system to work properly. Plug the Power Line Sound Station and the
Speaker into two AC power sockets. The power sockets should be as close as possible to one another,
ideally on the same outlet.
1 Switch on the Power Line Sound Station.
2 Press and hold then press DUAL on the Power Line Sound Station.
The display shows Id SEt.
3 Switch on the speaker.
4 Press and hold then press CH Sel. on this speaker.
The speaker ID setting is confirmed when the motion sensor finishes flashing and lights steadily.
5 Press and hold then press DUAL on the Power Line Sound Station.
The ID setting is complete after finishes flashing (about ten seconds).
Motion sensor settings
Hold down (volume down) while pressing (standby) to change the motion sensor setting:
LONG – Sound from the speaker switches off if no movement is detected within 30 min.
SHORT – Sound from the speaker switches off if no movement is detected within 1 min.
OFF – Switches the motion sensor off.
• The motion sensor lights yellow when LONG is selected, green when SHORT is selected and red
when OFF (the motion sensor is inactive when flashing at startup).
• Specifications and design subject to possible modification without
notice, due to improvements.
Plugging in the speaker
Plug the AC power cord into a convenient AC power outlet.
Please refer to Power Line Sound System connections in the XW-PSS01 operating instructions for
recommended connections.
POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a
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.

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.
