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 Ω. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a
load impedance ranging from 4 Ω to 16 Ω ( a model w ith “4 Ω to 16 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:
• 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

Colored marker
red
black
• 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 / SURROUND SPEAKERS
• 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.
S-FCR3700:
• Do not attach the front speakers to the wall or ceiling. It
may fall off and cause injury.
S-FCR3300-K:
• Do not attach the center speakers to the wall or ceiling. It
may fall off and cause injury.
SUBWOOFER
• Do not attach the subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. It may
fall off and cause injury.
• Do not place anything on top of the cabinet.
• Do not spill liquid on the cabinet.
• Place the subwoofer at least 8 inches (20 cm) 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.
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)
Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the
speakers.
Match the colored wire with the color-coded label, then insert
the colored wire into the red (+) tab and the other wire with the
black (
–) tab.
CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM
Important
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.
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.
Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.

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.
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
(20cm) between the rear of the subwoofer and the nearest
wall.
STANDARD SURROUND SETUP
This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker
setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.
Secure each of the front speakers using the plastic catch
provided.
Screw two picture hooks or similar into the wall behind the
speaker. Pass a cord around the hooks and through the
plastic 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.

Assembling the speaker stand bases and
securing your front speakers
(S-FCR3700 only)
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).
Caution
• The plastic catch is not a mounting fixture, and the
speaker should not be hung directly from the wall using
this catch. Always use a 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.
• Do not stand on the speaker stand base of the tall speaker
to push or swing the speaker. The speaker may fall and
break, or someone may be injured. Pay special attention to
children.
NON-SKID PADS
S-FCR3700:
Attach the small non-skid pads to the base of the surround
and center speakers. The large non-skid pads are for the front
speakers (as shown).
Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the base
of each speaker.
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.

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 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.

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
(S-FCR3300-K only)
The speaker system grill cannot be removed. Do not try to
forcibly remove it since doing so may damage the grille.
