Speaker Setup Guide

Wall mounting the center speaker

The center speaker has a mounting hole which can be
used to mount the speaker on the wall.

Before mounting

• Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that
its weight could cause the screws to work loose, or
the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the
speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to
mount the speakers on is strong enough to support
them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.
• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws
suitable for the wall material and support the weight
of the speaker.
Caution
• If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the
wall, consult a professional for advice.
• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or
damage that result from improper installation

• Install the main front left and right speakers at an
equal distance from the TV.
• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so
that the sound of the center channel is localized at
the TV screen.
Precautions:
• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV,
be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable
means. Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV
due to external shocks such as earthquakes,
endangering those nearby or damaging the speaker.
• The front (L/R), center and surround (L/R) speakers
supplied with this system are magnetically shielded.
However, depending on the installation location,
color distortion may occur if the speaker is installed
extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this
happens, turn the power switch of the television set
OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min to 30 min. If the
problem persists, place the speaker system away
from the television set.
• The receiver subwoofer is not magnetically shielded
and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor.
Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs and
tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close
to the receiver subwoofer.
• Do not attach the front, surround speakers and
receiver subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may
fall off and cause injury.
• For safety, make sure that there is no exposed bare
speaker wire outside of the speaker terminals.
• Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other
amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.
• Do not connect any speakers other than those
supplied to this system.
