English • Screw two picture hooks or similar into the wall behind the speaker. Pass a chain or cord around the hooks and through the metal catch so that the speaker is stabilized (make sure to test that it supports the weight of the speaker). Metal catch • After installing, make sure the speaker is securely fixed. • For good sound, the speaker should be about 20 cm away from the back wall and at least 50 cm away from the side wall. If the room has a lot of reverberation, we recommend hanging heavy fabric on the walls, and/or putting a carpet on the floor to damp the sound. For best results, cover walls completely. 20 cm 50 cm Using the spikes There are four metal spikes built-in to the speaker base that you can use to isolate the speaker from the floor. Spikes are recommended when placing the speakers on a thick carpet (for added stability), or for better sound when placing the speakers on a hard reverberant surface (such as a concrete or wood floor). Use the supplied spike pads to avoid scratching the floor or other surface where the speaker is placed. 1 Choose the location for speaker placement then put the spike bases on the floor. 2 Remove the protective cover from the top of the leg support. Protective covers 3 Place the speaker upright so that the corners are resting on the spike bases on the floor. 4 Insert and turn the supplied hex wrench until the spike protrudes from the base. Do this in turn for each spike, making sure all four corners are of even height and the speaker is stable and resting squarely on all four spikes. Hex wrench • Place speakers equal distances from your listening position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of the same length for each speaker. 5 After the spike lengths are even, tighten the nuts to fix the spikes in place. • If you are using a set of speakers for your TV sound, install the speakers at equal distances either side of the TV and point them in the same direction as the TV. • Do not place the speaker where it will be in direct sunlight, and avoid positioning it near heaters and air conditioners. This may cause warping and discoloration of the speaker cabinet and damage the speaker. • Pioneer assumes no liability whatsoever for damages resulting from assembly, improper mounting, insufficient reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of nature, etc. Caution: when using the spikes • Note that these spikes are sharp metal and can cause damage to flooring. Make sure to lay down a cloth or suitable base before setting up. • The speaker is very heavy (about 66 kg) and can cause serious damage or injury if you are attempting to tighten the nuts with the speaker standing or leaning. Make sure to lay down a cloth and tighten the nuts with the speaker laying flat. Two people or more during placement and setup is advised. 3 En
