The front and center speakers supplied with this

distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the 
speakers a little further away and switch off the 
television for 15-30 minutes.

The surround speakers supplied with this system are 
magnetically shielded. However, placing them 
extremely close to a television may result in color 
distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the 
speakers a little further away and switch off the 
television for 15-30 minutes.

The 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 subwoofer.

CAUTION:

Pioneer will not be responsible for any accidents or damage 
that may result from improper installation.

Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any 
other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

Do not fix the subwoofer, front and center speakers to the 
wall or ceiling; they could cause injury if they fell.

Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with 
accessories sold with the product will expose you to lead, a
