S-A5C Speaker System
Thank you for buying this Pioneer product. Please read through these operating instructions so you will know how to operate your model properly. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future reference.

Installing your speaker
Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space. � 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 speakers. � The speaker is heavy. Placing it on an unstable surface is dangerous, and should be avoided.

Before you start
� The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 ohms. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with �4 � 16 �� displayed on the speaker output terminals). � Do not touch the speaker cones as they are easily damaged. In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions: � Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of the maximum permissible input. � When connecting or disconnecting anything in your AV system, make sure the amplifier is switched off. � When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier volume. � Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud volumes of sound (the amplifier�s harmonic distortion will be increased, and you may damage the tweeter).

Pioneer assumes no liability whatsoever for damages resulting from assembly, improper mounting, insufficient reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of nature, etc.

Attaching the non-slip pads
A set of four self-adhesive non-slip pads, as well as a set of selfadhesive velcro squares, are supplied that you can use to provide some isloation and also prevent the speaker moving. Normally, the non-slip pads should be sufficient. However, if you are worried about the speaker falling, use the velcro.

Using the non-slip pads
1 Remove the backing tape of the non-slip pads and stick one in each corner on the base of the speaker.

Caution: installation
� Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment. � Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the instructions when connecting up components. Make sure you use the correct connecting cables. � Do not put a TV or other AV equipment on top of this speaker. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment.

Using the velcro squares
1 Remove the backing tape of the velcro squares and stick one in each corner on the base of the speaker. 2 Remove the backing tape of the other side of each square and install the speaker.

Caution: in use
� Don�t use the speaker to output distorted sound for long periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard. � Do not sit or stand on the speaker or let children play on the speaker. � Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speaker.
