Wall mounting the front and
surround speaker system
Attaching the brackets
• Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as securely
as possible when attaching the bracket to the back of
the speaker.
• Please do not attach the brackets to the center
speaker.
Before mounting
• Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that
its weight could cause the wood screws to work
loose, or the wall material to fail to support it,
resulting in the speaker falling. Make sure that the
wall on which you intend to mount the speakers is
strong enough to support them. Do not mount on
plywood or soft surface walls.
• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that
are suitable for the wall material and that will support
the weight of the speaker.
• 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.
Additional notes on speaker placement
• Install the main front left and right speakers at an
equal distance from the TV.
• For optimum effect, install the rear speakers slightly
above ear level.
• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so
that the sound of the center channel is localized at
the TV screen.
• When installing the center speaker on top of the TV,
be sure to secure it with suitable means. Otherwise,
the speaker may fall from the TV due to external
shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those
nearby or damaging the speaker.
• This front, center and surround 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 to 30 minutes. 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 fix the front or center speakers, or the receiver
subwoofer to the wall or ceiling; they could cause
injury if they fell.
