CAUTION
The POWER switch on this unit will not completely
shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the
power cord serves as the main disconnect device for
the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet
to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the
unit has been installed so that the power cord can
be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an
accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should
also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).
D3-4-2-2-2a_A_En
If the AC plug of this unit does not match the AC
outlet you want to use, the plug must be removed
and appropriate one fitted. Replacement and
mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of
this unit should be performed only by qualified
service personnel. If connected to an AC outlet, the
cut-off plug can cause severe electrical shock. Make
sure it is properly disposed of after removal.
The equipment should be disconnected by removing
the mains plug from the wall socket when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).

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 and clearly, 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 For A 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.
Decibel
Level Example
30
Quiet library, soft whispers

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic

POWER-CORD CAUTION
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord and 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, or pinch the
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 a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. When you find it
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized
service center or your dealer for a replacement.
S002_En
WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or
cords associated with accessories sold with the
product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to
the State of California and other governmental
entities to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

FEATURES
300 W (RMS) power with D class amplifier that serves
audio and video software playback such as Dolby*
Digital with a wide dynamic range.
Equipped with 30 cm driver
Crossover frequency can be set to 50 Hz, 60 Hz, 70 Hz,
80 Hz, 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 160 Hz, 200 Hz.
Equipped with Bass Mode selector (Music/Cinema
mode).
* Maunfactured under license from Dolby Laboratories.
"Dolby" and the double-D symbol are trademarks of Dolby
Laboratories.
IN COMBINATION WITH
SPEAKERS
The frequency characteristics of the S-LX70W combined
with small-size speakers are shown below. As shown in
these figures, the low frequency range is improved.
· These special characteristics are obtained in an
echoless chamber. The effect of an additional S-LX70W
in an ordinary listening room is better than the chart
indicates when positioned adequately.
· With playback of Dolby* Digital, establishment of a
special channel for the subwoofer is recommended;
and with playback of LFE (Low Frequency Effect: sound
effect like the rumbling of the earth, whose purpose is
to intensify the force of the video), the S-LX70W is
especially effective.
Dolby* Digital
Dolby Digital is the name of the Dolby Surround multi-
channel digital system that was developed from Dolby
Surround, as a continuation of Dolby Pro Logic Surround.
Dolby Digital is also referred to as a 5.1 channel system.
This is because it has 5 channels in the 20 Hz to 20 kHz
frequency range (front left and right, center, and rear left
and right) and an independent channel for the
subwoofer. The subwoofer channel is also referred to as
LFE (Low Frequency Effect).
The LFE channel is used according to individual tastes to
enhance the bass effect.
