S-LX C

Thank you for buying this Pioneer product. Please read through

these operating instructions so you will know how to operate your model properly. After you have finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future reference.

Before you start

• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 Ω. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load impedance of 6

Ω

(a model with “6 Ω“ displayed on the speaker output

terminals).

In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions:

• Do not supply power to the speaker system in excess of the maximum permissible input.

• When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier volume.

• Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud volumes of sound (the amplifier’s harmonic distortion will be increased, and you may damage the speaker).

Care of the speaker cabinets

• With normal use, wiping with a soft cloth should be sufficient to keep the cabinet clean. If necessary, clean with a cloth dipped in a neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well. Do not use furniture wax or cleansers. Never use alcohol, thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since these will corrode the surfaces. When using chemically-treated cloths, be sure to carefully read their accompanying instruction manual.

Caution

Installation

• 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.

• When placing this unit, avoid areas where it may be likely to fall and cause injury in the event of a natural disaster (such as an earthquake). For more information, see page 5.

• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation, misuse or modification of the product, or natural disasters.

Using the speakers

• Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for long periods of time. This can result in damages to the speaker and poses a potential fire hazard.

• 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.

CAUTION

hese speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

Cleaning the glossy finish of the speaker system

• When cleaning the finish of the speaker system, gently wipe it with a dry soft cloth; the supplied cleaning cloth.

• If you use a dusty or hard cloth or if you rub the screen hard, the finish of the product will be scratched.

• If you clean the surface of the speaker system with a wet cloth, water droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in malfunction.

Installing the speaker

This speaker system cannot be placed directly on the surface of floors or shelves. Always attach to a wall using the supplied brackets, or place on a flat and secure surface using the supplied speaker stand.

• 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 the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

Mounting on walls

• Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speaker on is strong enough to support it.

• Remember that the speaker system is heavy. Improper installation of the speaker could cause it to fall and cause damage or injuries to persons nearby.

• 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.

Once decided on the location of installation (such as the wall space above or below of the TV), attach the speaker following the next procedures.

Two types of brackets (for speaker) are supplied. When using alongside with a Pioneer plasma television, use the L-type bracket. When attaching flush against the wall, use the S-type bracket.

1 Connect speaker cable.

• Speaker cable is not included with this speaker system.

This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to an amplifier. Take the following factors into consideration when choosing speaker cables so that you can get the most from your speaker system:

• Use heavy-gauge speaker cable if possible, and keep the cables to the minimum necessary length.

• Cables have differing characteristics. Keep this in mind when using any cable.

• Connections at speaker and amplifier terminals should be made as tight and secure as possible to help reduce contact resistance.

When mounting the speaker onto wall using the bracket, connect the speaker cable before attaching speaker onto the bracket.

Speaker system grill

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

• If the cables’ 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 amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp.

• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound.

• Be sure to connect wires to the correct terminal polarities (

, –) at the speaker and amplifier, or the proper surround

effect will not be produced.

2 Paste the supplied wall mounting template on the area of installation.

Attach the template level to the ground using an adhesive such as tape. Make sure the template is straight to avoid mounting the speaker crookedly. Pasting the template too close to the TV may cause the TV to get in the way of the speaker when installing. Make sure the template and TV do not overlap.

Template

3 Temporarily attach the bracket (for wall) to the specified location on the template.

Align the bracket (for wall) to the specified location on the template, and temporarily attach with a screw (6 mm diameter screw recommended) at location [A].

Adjust the attachment position of the bracket so that it is aligned with the template.
