BEFORE OPERATION
• Thank you for buying this PIONEER product.
• Read the operating instructions carefully before using these speakers
so that you can operate them properly. After you have finished reading
the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future reference.
• The rated impedance of these speakers is 8 Ohm. They must be
connected to a stereo amplifier which accepts this type of load
(miminum and maximum impedances accepted by the amplifier are
generally indicated near the loudspeaker outlets : for example "4-16 Q"
or "6-16 a").
• To guard against damage to these speakers due to an electric power
overload, take the following precaustions ;
o Do not supply more than the maximum permitted power to the
speakers (see Specifications).
o Any connection or switching on or off of part of the audio system
(CD player, tuner etc.) must be carried out after switching off the
amplifier or at least with the loudspeaker outlets disconnected (if
the amplifier allows). Interference caused by these operations
will otherwise reach the speakers and may damage the treble
loudspeaker units.
o When boosting particular frequencies using a graphic equaliser
or bass and treble correctors, make sure that you do not increase
the amplifier volume excessively, as the speakers will be
overloaded more quickly.
o Do not force a low-power amplifier to produce a high level of
sound as harmonic distortion increases rapidly in this situation and
may pose a danger to the treble loudspeaker units.
• Avoid touching the diaphragms and suspensions of loudspeakers
as they are fragile.

The loudspeaker units in these speakers are magnetically shielded.
However, colours may blur if the speakers are positioned too close
to a television screen. If this happens, switch off the television and
switch it back on again after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem
persists, move the speakers away from the television set.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
• Do not install these speakers close to an oven or heating appliance.
Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight. High temperatures can distort
the structure of the enclosure and adversely affect the sound.
• These speakers are heavy and fragile, and it is therefore dangerous
to install them in an unstable position. For added safety, it is advisable
to attach these speakers to a wall or pillar using chains and hooks (not
supplied). To do so, stretch the chains between the ties located on the
rear of the speakers and the hooks.
• For optimum sound reproduction of high frequencies, the treble
loudspeaker units must be at the same height as the listener’s ears.
For low frequencies, it is possible to increase the level of bass sounds
by positioning the speakers close to a wall (the maximum increase
being obtained for a position in a corner of the listening room).
CONNECTIONS
1. Switch off the amplifier power supply (OFF).
2. Connect the cables to the input terminals on the rear of the speakers.
Connect the neutral cable to the "-" terminal and the live cable to the
"-I-" terminal. Do not forget that the red input terminal has positive
polarity and that the black input terminal has negative polarity.
3. Connect the cables to the loudspeaker outlet terminals of the
amplifier. Connect the live cable to the "-i-" terminal and the neutral
cable to the "-" terminal.

REMARKS:
• Check that the cables are securely connected to the terminals. A
loose connection may cause not Just intermittent or distorted sound
but short-circuiting and breakdown of the amplifier
• if the cables of one of the speakers have been connected with the
wrong polarities, you will find when listening to a stereo recording that
bass sounds are weakened and the stereo effect normally obtained
between the two speakers does not exist.
MAINTENANCE OF THE ENCLOSURE
• Use a cloth to wipe away dust and dirt.
• If the enclosure is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in a neutral
detergent diluted five to six times with water, then wipe again with the
dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzene, cleaning sprays or other
chemical products on or near the enclosures as the surfaces could be
adversely affected.
