English 9 WALL MOUNTING THE SPEAKER BAR The main unit can be mounted on a wall if desired. If your TV is wall mounted, the bar can mount right beneath it. The bar has built-in keyhole slots that make it easy. Caution Pioneer recommends that you consult a installation professional for wall mounting the speaker bar. • When the Speaker Bar is mounted to a wall, there is a risk of it dropping, falling, etc. due to the weight or mounting method. Take sufficient care not to cause an accident. • Select a location for installation/mounting with sufficient strength to withstand the weight. If you are unsure of the strength or anything else, consult with a professional. • Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation/ mounting, incorrect use, modification, disaster, etc. • Do not hang from the unit. Pay special attention to children. The unit may fall and break, resulting in injury. • Do not connect or disconnect the cables while the unit is mounted to the wall. Install the cables in such a way that a foot or other object cannot get caught in them. WHERE TO LOCATE YOUR SUBWOOFER FOR THE BEST SOUND Your wireless subwoofer is really easy to place and can go just about anywhere in the room. Plus you don't have to worry about connecting wires, because the only wire you have to plug in is the power cord. PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING The subwoofer receives its audio signals wirelessly from the main unit, so it requires no speaker cables, allowing you to place it in the most convenient location (a power cord connection is required, however). The placement of your new subwoofer is critical to its performance. The two of the most common locations include: A) In the corner of the room (which can result in a boomy or exaggerated low frequency response), B) Placement along one wall but out of the corner (moderate bass performance with increased fidelity over corner placement. Experimentation with subwoofer placement is highly encouraged, as slight adjustments can create large benefits in sound reproduction. To further test subwoofer placement, install the subwoofer temporarily in your main listening position and while playing a familiar piece of music, walk around the listening room until you find the best sounding position. This is a possible location for the subwoofer to be placed. Important Precautions regarding subwoofer installation: • Sound from the subwoofer may be interrupted due to poor signal conditions, but this is not a malfunction. If it occurs, rearrange the position and orientation of the main unit and/or subwoofer as required. • The subwoofer is designed to be used within a distance of 10 m (32 ft.) from the main unit. The actual distance within which it can be used, however, may be less, depending on the environment and design of the room where it is used. • Signal reception by the subwoofer may be unstable if it is placed too close to the main unit. In this case, separate the subwoofer at least 1 m (3.2 ft.) from the main unit. • Signal reception by the subwoofer may be interrupted if an obstruction (metal door or concrete wall, aluminum covered insulation, etc.) is placed between it and the main unit. In this case, install the subwoofer in an uninterrupted line-of-sight orientation from the main unit. CABINET MAINTENANCE Great care and craftsmanship has gone into the construction and finish of the cabinet. Periodically use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Do not use paper towels or other abrasive materials as it may damage the finish.
