Operating Instructions
Speaker System
WHAT'S IN THE BOX
BEFORE USE
Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
Please read through these operating instructions before
using your speaker system to optimize performance.
· The nominal impedance of this speaker system is
8
. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with
a load impedance ranging from 4
to 16 (a model
with "4
to 16 " displayed on the speaker output
terminals).
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.
· Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for
long periods of time. This can result in a fire hazard.
· Do not connect this speaker to any amplifier other
than the one supplied with this system. Connection
to any other amplifier may result in a malfunction or
a fire.
FRONT / CENTER SPEAKERS
· Do not attach the front and center speakers to the
wall or ceiling. It may fall off and cause injury.
· 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 off the television, then turn it on
again after 15 min to 30 min. If the problem persists,
place the speaker system away from the television
set.
SURROUND SPEAKERS
· The surround speakers are not magnetically shielded
and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor, as
the interaction of magnetic materials can cause
distortion of the colors on your TV screen. Magnetic
storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video
cassettes) should also not be kept close to these
speakers.

PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING
FRONT SPEAKERS
For best results the loudspeakers should be 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.
CENTER SPEAKER
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.
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be
sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means.
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to
external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering those
nearby or damaging the 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.
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 on the bottom flat surface of the speakers.
STANDARD SURROUND SETUP
This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker
setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.
CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM
Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any
connections.
· Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for
achieving the best sound quality. Be careful to
ensure proper polarity of connection.
Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of
the amplifier.
To connect, insert the striped speaker wire into the red
(+) terminal and the other wire into the black () terminal
as shown below.

· For S-RS7TB front speakers:
Unscrew the terminals on the speaker and insert the
striped speaker wire into the red (+) terminal and the
other wire into the black () terminal as shown below.
· For all other speakers:
To connect, insert the striped speaker wire into the
red (+) terminal and the other wire into the black ()
terminal as shown below.
WALL-MOUNTING THE SURROUND
SPEAKERS
Before mounting
· Remember that the speaker system is heavy and that
its weight could cause the screws to work loose, or
the wall material to fail to support it, resulting in the
speaker falling. Make sure that the wall you intend to
mount the speakers on is strong enough to support
them. Do not mount on plywood or soft surface walls.
· 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 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.
SECURING THE FRONT SPEAKERS
· Using the included screw, tightly secure the metal
catch to the backside of the speaker.
· Pass a commercially-available reinforced string
through the metal catch to securely support the
speaker to the wall. Be sure that the wall to which you
fasten the speaker is strong enough to support the
weight of the speaker. After fastening the speaker,
make sure that it does not fall over.
· The speaker can incur damage in the event of a fall.
· Do not attach the metal catch directly to the wall. It
should only be used in conjunction with reinforced
string to prevent the speaker from falling.
Pass two reinforced strings through the metal catches,
and fasten the speaker to the wall as shown above.

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.
SPEAKER SYSTEM GRILL
The speaker system grill cannot be removed. Do not try to
forcibly remove it since doing so may damage the grille.

Sistema de altavoces
CONTENIDO DE LA CAJA
ANTES DE USAR
Muchas gracias por la adquisición de este producto
Pioneer.
Lea todo este manual de instrucciones para aprender a
operar correctamente su modelo.
· La impedancia nominal de este sistema de altavoces
es de 8
. Conecte el sistema de altavoces a un
amplificador que tenga una impedancia de carga de
4
a 16 (un modelo que tenga inscrito "4 a
16
" en los terminales de salida de altavoces del
amplificador).
Para evitar daños en el sistema de altavoces debido
a una sobrecarga de entrada, tenga presente las
precauciones siguientes:
· Al conectar o desconectar los cables, asegúrese de
que el amplificador está apagado.
· Si utiliza un control de tono para resaltar los agudos
o graves, no aumente demasiado el volumen del
amplificador.
MEDIDAS DE PRECAUCIÓN DURANTE
LA INSTALACIÓN
· Ni instale estas unidades cerca de una estufa o
cualquier otro aparato de calefacción, ni las exponga a
l
a luz del sol. Si lo hace, las cajas de los altavoces se
podrían decolorar y las propias unidades se podría
deteriorar.
· No emplee el altavoz para emitir sonido
distorsionado durante largos períodos de tiempo.
Correría el peligro de incendios.
· No conecte este altavoz a ningún amplificador que
no sea el suministrado con el sistema. Si lo conecta
a otro amplificador, podría provocar fallos de
funcionamiento e, incluso, un incendio.
ALTAVOCES DELANTEROS / CENTRAL
· No monte los altavoces delanteros y central en la
pared ni en el techo. Podría caerse y ocasionar
heridas.
· El sistema del altavoz tiene protección magnética.
Sin embargo, dependiendo del lugar de instalación,
pueden producirse distorsiones de color en la
pantalla del televisor si los sistemas de altavoces
están cerca de él.
Si así sucede, apague el televisor, y vuélvalo a
encender después de 15 minutos a 30 minutos. Si el
problema persiste, aparte del televisor el sistema del
altavoz.
ALTAVOCES SURROUND
· Puesto que estos altavoces surround no tienen
protección magnética, no deberán colocarse cerca
de un televisor ni de un monitor, porque la
interacción de los materiales magnéticos puede
producir distorsión de los colores en la pantalla del
televisor. Además, los medios de almacenamiento
magnético (como los disquetes de ordenador y
casetes de audio y vídeo) no deberán guardarse
cerca de estos altavoces.
