BEFORE USE

Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.

Please read through this operating guide before using your

speaker system to optimize performance.

FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND SPEAKERS

In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from

input overload, please observe the following precautions:

When connecting or disconnecting cables, be sure amplifier

power is OFF.

Do not use excessive amplifier volume if using a tone control

to emphasize high or low frequencies.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

Do not install these units near a stove or other heating

appliance, or put them in a place exposed to the sun. Such

locations may cause the cabinet to change color and the

speaker system to break down.

CAUTION:

SUBWOOFER

Do not place anything on top of the cabinet.

Do not spill liquid on the cabinet.

Place the subwoofer at least 8 inches from any wall or curtain

in order to avoid heat build-up.

OPERATING GUIDE

S-FCRW2700

SPEAKER SYSTEM

The front, center and 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.

The serial number for this equipment is located on the side of

the packing case.

Please write this serial number on the

warranty page and keep it in a secure area for future

reference.

Twist and pull off the protective shields on

each wire.

Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear

of the receiver.

To connect, insert the colored wire into the matching positive

(colored) terminal and the other wire into the negative (black)

terminal as shown below.

Note that the color-coded tabs are as follows:

Red : Front right (R)

CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM

IMPORTANT:

Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any

connections.

FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND / SUBWOOFER

SPEAKERS

Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving

the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure proper polarity of

connection.

CENTER SPEAKER

SURROUND SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeakers should be positioned at or

above ear level. Depending upon your room layout and

preferences, the left and right rear speakers should be

positioned on the side walls just the rear of the listening

position, or on the walls.

SUBWOOFER

Sound spreads in all directions in the very low frequency range.

Human hearing cannot easily detect the source of very low

frequencies. Be sure to provide a space of at least 8 inches

(20cm) between the rear of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.

PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING

FRONT SPEAKERS

For best results the loudspeaker should be positioned near ear

level and the loudspeakers separated a distance approximately

equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers inward

towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-central

listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the

midbass performance, although too close (particularly a corner

location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image

performance may be degraded.

The loudspeaker should be positioned below the TV. For best

results align the front of the loudspeaker with the front of the

TV. If the loudspeaker is placed under the TV and very close to

the floor, then tilting upwards may be beneficial.

CENTER SPEAKER ONLY

NON-SKID PADS

If the front, center and surround speakers are placed on a hard

surface, such as wood or tile place four non-skid pads (small)

on the bottom flat surface of the speakers.

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor, such as wood or tile,

place four non-skid pads (large) on the bottom surface of the

subwoofer.

CABINET MAINTENANCE

Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.

When the cabinet is very dirty, clean with a soft cloth dipped in

some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and

then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or

cleaners.

Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays and other

chemicals on or near the cabinets, since these will corrode

the surfaces.

Wall-mounting the front and surround speaker

system

Attaching the brackets

· Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as securely as

possible when attaching the bracket to the back of the

speaker.

· Please do not attach the brackets to the center speaker.

Before mounting

· Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that its

weight could cause the wood screws to work loose, or the

wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the speaker

falling. Make sure that the wall on which you intend to mount

the speakers is strong enough to support them. Do not

mount on plywood or soft surface walls.

· Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws that are

suitable for the wall material and that will support the weight

of the speaker.

Note

· If you are unsure of the quality and strength of the walls,

consult a professional for advice.

· Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that

result from improper installation.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just

purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's

time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement

your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic

Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you

to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.

One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without

annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without

affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing "comfort

level" adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds

"normal" can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard

against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE

your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

· Start your volume control at a low setting.

· Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably

andclearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

· Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing

damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for

a lifetime.

We Want You Listening ForA Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime

of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is

often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the

Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group

recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise.

This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
