IMPORTANT:
•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.
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
FRONT / CENTER / SURROUND SPEAKERS
•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.
•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 to 30 minutes.
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.
•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.

CAUTION:
•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.
•Do not attach the subwoofer, front and surround speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury (S- FCR4700 only).
•Do not attach the subwoofer and front speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury (S-FCR3700 only).
WARNING:
Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with the product will expose you to chemicals listed on proposition 65 known to the State of California and other governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defect or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling
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.
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) |
• Purple : Subwoofer |
||||
• White : Front left (L) |
• Grey : Surround right (R) |
||||
• Green : Center speaker |
• Blue : Surround left (L) |

PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING
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
(20 cm) between the rear of the subwoofer and the nearest wall.
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 loudspeaker should be positioned near ear level (S-FCR3700 only).
STANDARD SURROUND SETUP
This is a standard multichannel surround soundspeaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

Assembling the speaker stands and securing your front and surround (S-FCR4700 only) speakers
Attach the speaker stand bases to the stems using the screws provided.
Once you have aligned the stem and base, secure with the small screws at the points shown below. Note that the speaker should face in the direction of the base of the isosceles triangle (outlined below).
Rear
Front
Secure each of the front and surround (S-FCR4700 only) speakers using the metal catch provided.
Screw two picture hooks or similar into the wall behind the speaker. Pass a chain or cord around the hooks and through the metal catch so that the speaker is stabilized (make sure to test that it supports the weight of the speaker).
After installing, make sure the speaker is securely fixed.
Chain or cord
Metal catch
CAUTION:
•The metal catch is not a mounting fixture, and the speaker should not be hung directly from the wall using this catch.
Always use a chain or cord when stabilizing the speaker.
•Pioneer disclaims all responsibility for any losses or damage resulting from improper assembly, installation, insufficient strength of the installation materials, misuse, or natural disasters.
NON-SKID PADS
Attach the small non-skid pads to the base of the surround (S-
FCR3700 only) and center speakers. The large non-skid pads are for the front and surround (S-FCR4700 only) speakers, and the subwoofer (as shown).
Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the base of each speaker and the subwoofer.
If you choose to use speaker stands with the surround speakers, attach the non-skid pads to the stand bases instead of to the underside of the speakers (S-FCR3700 only).

Optionally, attach the surround speakers to the speaker stands (S-FCR3700 only) .
For each speaker,line up the spurs on the stand with the holes on the back of the speaker and insert, then secure the speaker to the stand with the screw provided.
WALL MOUNTING THE SURROUND (S-FCR3700 ONLY) AND CENTER SPEAKERS
The surround (S-FCR3700 only) and center speakers have mounting holes which can be used to mount the speaker on the wall.
5 mm
10 mm
5 mm to 7 mm
Before mounting (see above), keep in mind the following points:
¶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.
CAUTION:
•If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice.
•Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.
