How to install
Choosing where to place the speaker systems
• Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in
subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space.
• For best sound, choose a solid floor upon which to place the
speakers, and position the speakers as shown below. The level
of low sounds can be adjusted by moving the speakers closer
to or further from the wall. Adjust the speakers so that they are
equidistant from their respective side walls to assure balanced
sound.
• 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.
• This speaker is a bookshelf-type speaker which will give best
performance when placed on a solid, level surface off the floor.
Placing the speaker directly on the floor will result in boomy,
undefined sound.
• Pioneer assumes no liability whatsoever for damages
resulting from assembly, improper mounting, insufficient
reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of nature, etc.

• The cabinet uses sliced veneer made of natural wood. Do not
place the speaker where it will be in direct sunlight, and avoid
positioning it near heaters and air conditioners. Doing so may
cause warping and discoloration of the speaker cabinet and
damage to the speaker.
Using the speaker base
Included with this speaker system is a speaker base for better
sound, stability and safety. Place the speaker on the base as
shown below.
Use the furnished spikes or non-skid pads when installing the
speaker on the speaker base.
When using the spikes
This speaker system includes spikes that you can use to isolate
the speaker from the floor. Use the supplied spike bases to avoid
scratching the floor or other surface where the speaker is placed.
1 Twist the spikes into the threaded metal inserts
embedded in the bottom of the speaker base.
2 Set the spike bases in the positions where the points of
the three spikes will strike when the speaker is set down.
3 Set the speaker base on the spike bases and check to
confirm the speaker base does not rock.
4 Set the speaker on the speaker base and check to confirm
the speaker does not rock
• Always use the spike bases as shown, with the indented
surface facing up to receive the spike point.

you plan on using the spikes we highly recommend to
use the spike bases.
