• 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.

• Place speakers equal distances from your listening
position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of the
same length for each speaker.
• 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, insuffi-
cient reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of
nature, etc.
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 scratch-
ing 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.

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.
5 After the spike lengths are even, tighten the nuts to
fix the spikes in place.
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 place-
ment and setup is advised.
