Installing the speakers
This speaker system cannot be placed directly on the surface of floors or shelves. Always attach to a wall using the supplied brackets, or use speaker stand CP-LX70 (floor stand) (sold separately) or CP-LX70TS (tabletop stand) (sold separately) when placing on the surface of floors or shelves. � This speaker system is magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if the speaker system 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.

Connect speaker cables. � Speaker cables are not included with this speaker system.

This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to an amplifier. Take the following factors into consideration when choosing speaker cables so that you can get the most from your speaker system: � Use heavy-gauge speaker cable if possible, and keep the cables to the minimum necessary length. � If the length of cable required for left and right speakers differs, use cables of the same length, matched to the longer distance. � Cables have differing characteristics. Keep this in mind when using any cable. � Connections at speaker and amplifier terminals should be made as tight and secure as possible to help reduce contact resistance. When mounting the speakers onto walls using the brackets, connect the speaker cables before attaching speakers onto the brackets.

Mounting on walls
� Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on is strong enough to support them. � Remember that the speaker system is heavy. Improper installation of the speakers could cause them to fall and cause damage or injuries to persons nearby. � Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws suitable for the wall material and support the weight of the speaker. If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice. Once decided on the location of installation (such as the wall space to the left and right of the TV), attach the speakers following the next procedures. Two types of brackets (for speakers) are supplied. When using alongside with a Pioneer plasma television, use the L-type brackets. When attaching flush against the wall, use the S-type brackets. The left and right wall brackets are shaped differently. Be sure to install the correct bracket on each side.

� If the cables� wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp. � After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound. � When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you won�t be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity (+ , �) of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed.

2 Paste the supplied wall mounting template on the area of installation. � The left and right wall mounting templates are shaped differently.

Attach the template level to the ground using an adhesive such as tape. Make sure the template is straight to avoid mounting the speaker crookedly. Pasting the template too close to the TV may cause the TV to get in the way of the speaker when installing. Make sure the template and TV do not overlap.
