• The subwoofer and other speakers in this
system cannot be used nearby a CRT-based
TV or co lo r m onitor . W he n u sing th is ki nd of
CRT-based TV or color monitor, install the
speakers away from the display device. Any
other device liable to be influenced by
magnetism (floppy disk drive, cassette tape
recorder, video tape player, etc.) should
also be kept at a distance from the
subwoofer and other speakers.
Subwoofer (S-22W-P)
• When moving the subwoofer, avoid
touching the bottom surface, since the
speaker unit is located there.
• Orient the subwoofer’s front face pointing
toward the listening position.
• The subwoofer plays back the bass in
monaural, making use of the fact that the
human ear is not very sensitive to the
direction of low-pitched sound. Because of
this, the subwoofer can be installed almost
anywhere. If it is installed too far away,
however, the sound from the other
speakers may become unnatural.
The degree of bass effect can be adjusted
by moving the unit farther from or closer to
the wall.

Satellite speakers (S-11A-P)
• Labels located on the rear of each speaker
indicate whether they are designed for front
or surround use.
• Speakers installed to the right and left
should be separated by about 1.8 m to 2.7
m (6 ft. to 8.9 ft.) distance. They should be
installed at equal distances from the
television, and at equal heights from the
floor.
• Optional speaker stands can be purchased
to facilitate optimal mounting of the
surround speakers at or slightly above the
listener’s ear height.
• Th e s ur ro un d e ff ec t w il l b e d im in is he d i f t he
surround speakers are mounted at extreme
distances from the listener’s position.
• Install the center speaker below the TV so
that the sound of the center channel is
localized at the TV screen.
• Do not place the center speaker on top of
the TV, the speaker may fall from the TV due
to external shocks such as earthquakes,
endangering those nearby or damaging the
speaker.

Installation precautions
• Do not place heavy or large objects on top
of the speaker. Doing so could provoke the
speaker to fall, causing damages or bodily
injury.
• Do not place the speaker on an unstable
surface, as doing so may cause the speaker
to fall and cause damage or bodily injury.
• Switch off and unplug your AV equipment
and consult the instructions when
connecting up components. Make sure you
use the correct connecting cables.
• Do not sit or stand on the speaker, or let
children play on the speaker. Doing so
could provoke the speaker to fall, causing
damages or bodily injury.
• Be careful to make sure children not to put
their hands or any objects into the speaker
duct*.
*Speaker duct: A hole for plentiful bass
sound on speaker cabinet (enclosure).
• Place the center speaker at a safe distance
from the child’s reach.
Otherwise it may result in the speaker
falling down and causing personal injury
and/or property damage.
• Install the subwoofer in a well-ventilated
location where it will not be exposed to high
temperatures and high humidity.
• Do not place the subwoofer near stoves or
other heating equipment or at locations
exposed to direct sunlight, as these can
have an adverse effect on the cabinet and
internal components. Also, do not install
the unit where there is too much dust or
high humidity, as these can cause
malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid
cooking tables and other locations where
the unit would be exposed to heat, steam
and soot.)
• Keep the subwoofer away from devices
such as cassette decks which are sensitive
to magnetic fields.
• Do not place cups, glasses, or other
containers with fluids on top of the units,
since the units may be damaged if the
liquid spills.
• The installation location selected should
have a sturdy floor surface. Mounting the
subwoofer on a long-pile carpet should be
avoided, since the carpet may touch the
driver’s diaphram, causing distorted
sound.
• Please install the subwoofer away from the
antenna cable of the receiver, as noise can
be caused with installation close to the
antenna cable. In such a case, use the
EnglishFrançaisEspañol
subwoofer at a position away from the
antenna and the antenna cable, or when
playback of extra bass is not required,
switch off the power for the subwoofer.
• The front grilles on front/center/surround
speakers cannot be removed. Do not try to
forcibly remove them since doing so may
damage the grille.
• When mounting front speakers or surround
speakers on a wall surface, make sure that
the wall you intend to mount the speakers
on is strong enough to support them.
When attaching the speakers to brackets,
always use the furnished brackets for wall
mounting.
• Do not attach center speaker and
subwoofer to the wall or ceiling, as they
may cause injury in the event of a fall.
• Do not connect the supplied subwoofer to
any amplifier other than the one supplied
with this system. Connection to any other
amplifier may result in malfunction or fire.
• The S-11A-P incorporates autoregression
technology to protect the speakers. If the
speakers stop emitting noise when
receiving too large a signal, turn the volume
down on the receiver and wait a few
seconds. The protection feature disables
itself automatically.
Pioneer is not responsible for any
accidents or damage that result
from improper installation,
misuse or modification of the
product, or natural disasters.
Maintenance of external surfaces:
• Clean the surface by wiping with a soft,
dry cloth.
• When the surfaces are very dirty, wipe
with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral
cleanser diluted five or six times with
water, and wrung out well, 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
this unit, since these will corrode the
surfaces.
Affixing Non-Skid Pads
Apply the accessory non-skid pads to the
bottom surfaces of the front/center/surround
speakers
Effective Combination of
Subwoofer and Satellite
Speakers
• When the subwoofer is combined with
satellite speakers in a total system, the
sound characteristics produced are like
those shown in the accompanying graph,
depicting the enhancement of the bass
frequencies.
This is particularly effective for reproducing
ground rumbles and other deep sound
effects found in movies.

Red colored marker
Connection
Before making or changing the
connections, switch off the power and
disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.
Connecting the speakers
To get the best out of your speakers it is
important that you connect them properly to
your receiver. Each speaker connection
consists of a positive (+) and a negative (–)
terminal. These should be matched between
the receiver and the speaker.
1 Attach one end of the supplied speaker
cord to the rear of the each speaker.
• Connect the wire with the colored
marker to the red (+) terminal; the plain
wire to the black (–) terminal. Press
down the spring-loaded tab and insert
the wire, as shown below. Release the
tab to secure the wire.
• These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the
risk of electric shock when connecting or
disconnecting the speaker cords,
disconnect the power cord before touching
any uninsulated parts.
• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on
the cords to make sure that the ends of the
cords are securely connected to the
terminals. Poor connections can create
noise and interruptions in the sound.
• If the cords’ wires happen to be pushed out
of the terminals, allowing the wires to come
into contact with each other, it places an
excessive additional load on the receiver.
This may cause the amp to stop
functioning, and may even damage the
receiver.
• When using a set of speakers connected to
an receiver, you won’t be able to obtain the
normal stereo effect if the polarity (+, –) of
one of the speakers (left or right) is
reversed.
Operation
• Set the receiver’s cross-over frequency
at 200 Hz.

2 Connect the other end of each speaker
cord to your receiver.
• To connect, insert the colored wire into
the matching positive (colored) terminal
and the other wire into the negative
(black) terminal. See also the Operating
Instructions that came with your
receiver.

Attaching the brackets
• When attaching the speakers to brackets,
always use the furnished brackets for wall
mounting.
• Make sure to tighten the supplied screw as
securely as possible when attaching the
bracket to the back of the speaker.
• Do not attach brackets to center speaker or
subwoofer.
• Use the M5 metric thread screw. Do not
use inch thread screw.
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 suitable for the wall material and
support the weight of the speaker. If you are
unsure of the qualities and strength of the
walls, consult a professional for advice.

Troubleshooting
The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through
clearly 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.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable sound
level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t
hear what’s around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized
vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.
