POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by
tugging the cord. Never touch the power cord when your hands
are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do
not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord.
Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The
power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to
be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give
you an electrical shock. Check the power cord periodically. If
you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.

FRONT / CENTER / REAR /REAR CENTER SPEAKERS
Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving
the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure proper polarity of
connection.
Connect the supplied speaker wires to the receiver speaker
output terminals. Using the color directions below, connect
the black striped wire to the black (-) terminal and the colored
striped wire to the red (+) terminal for each channel. Connect
the other end of each wire to the input terminals at the rear of
each speaker. Connect the black striped wire to the black (-)
terminal and the colored striped wire to the red (+) terminal.

IMPORTANT:
The rear (surround) speakers are identified by a label on the back
of the speaker. They are not magnetically shielded, so do not place
near your television.
Depress the input terminal lever, and insert the tip of the wire
into the hole and then release the lever so that it springs back
into position. Take care that no stray strands of wire short
across between the terminals.
POWERED SUBWOOFER
Connect the supplied RCA cable to subwoofer output on the
back of your receiver. Connect the other end to the LINE LEVEL
INPUT of your Subwoofer.
Connect the Subwoofer AC (power) plug to the AC (power)
outlet on the back of the Receiver. First check the rating of the
outlet on the receiver to make sure it is compatible with the
subwoofer rating.
If the Subwoofer is plugged directly into an AC outlet, the auto
function will operate under no-signal conditions and put the
subwoofer into standby. If you plan to leave the subwoofer un-
attended for extended periods of time, we reccomend that you
unplug the subwoofer for the AC outlet
