CONNECTING THE SPEAKER CORDS 1 Strip off the vinyl covering and twist the tip of the wire core. 2 Loosen the knob and insert the wire core into the terminal hole. 3 Tighten the knob to fix the wire core in place. CONNECTIONS 3/8 inch (10mm) 1 Twist the wire core. The speaker terminals also accept single banana plugs. (Refer to speaker manual for details.) 1 Tighten the knob to the closed position. 2 Insert the banana plug. 1 2 2 \ 3 NOTES: • Do not allow any of the cord conductors to protrude from the termi- nals or touch any other conductors. Malfunctioning or breakdown may occur when conductors come into contact with each other. • If the knobs have not been turned and fixed firmly in a closed position, there may be interruptions in sound and poor sound quality. Speaker Impedance The speakers connected to the speaker terminals should have a rated impedance in the range of 4 Ω to 16 Ω. CONNECTING UP FOR REMOTE CONTROL USE If you are using a Pioneer amplifier or receiver with the Î mark (for example, the VSX-39TX), you can control this unit with the remote controller that came with the amplifier/receiver. Once connected, this unit will switch on with the rest of your system. If the two amps are not on or off in unison, use the power button on the main unit to put them in the same state. Then you will be able to control them both with the remote control. To connect directly, use the supplied remote control cord to connect the control out terminal of the amplifier/receiver to the control in terminal of this unit (see Fig. A). If your system includes one or more Î compatible units, you can daisy-chain them from your amplifier/receiver using commercially available monoral mini-plug cords, with the M-10X at the end of the chain (see Fig. B). NOTES: • Make sure that at least one set of analog terminals is connected through each component in the chain (as you did with the remote control cord(s)) to the amplifier when controlling other components. • When operating another component using a remote control, it must be pointed at the amplifier/receiver, and not at the component. • Only Pioneer products with the Î mark can be connected in this manner.
