IMPORTANT NOTICE: The serial number for this equipment is located on the rear of the product.

Please write this serial number on the warranty sheet 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. After you have
fi nished reading the operating guide, store it in a safe place
for future reference.

• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8 ohms.
Connect the speaker system to a stereo amplifi er with a load
impedance rating ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with
“4-16Ω” displayed on the speaker output terminals).

REMARQUE IMPORTANTE : Le numéro de série pour cet équipement se trouve sur l’arrière du produit. Veuillez écrire le

numéro de série sur la carte de garantie et le conserver dans un lieu sûr pour éventuellement le consulter plus tard.

AVANT TOUTE UTILISATION

• Merci d’avoir acheté ce produit Pioneer.

• Veuillez lire le présent guide d’utilisation dans son intégralité
avant d’utiliser le système d’enceintes pour en optimiser sa
performance. Après avoir fi ni la lecture du guide d’utilisation,
conservez-le dans un lieu sûr pour éventuellement le consulter
plus tard.

• L’impédance nominale de ce système d’enceintes est de 8
ohms. Raccordez les enceintes acoustiques à un amplifi cateur
stéréophonique dont la valeur nominale d’impédance de
charge va de 4 à 16 ohms (un modèle pour lequel « 4-16Ω »
est indiqué sur les bornes de sortie aux haut-parleurs).

• 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 connecting or disconnecting cables, be sure
amplifi er power is OFF.

• Do not use excessive amplifi er volume if using a graphic
equalizer to emphasize high or low frequencies.

• Pour éviter d’endommager les enceintes acoustiques par une
surcharge à l’entrée, observez les précautions suivantes :

• Ne fournissez pas aux enceintes acoustiques une puissance
électrique dépassant l’entrée maximale autorisée.

• Lors de la connexion ou de la déconnexion des câbles,
veillez à mettre l’amplifi cateur hors tension.

• N’utilisez pas de volume d’amplifi cateur excessif lors de
l’utilisation d’un égaliseur graphique pour accentuer les
hautes ou basses fréquences.

AVISO IMPORTANTE: El número de serie de este equipo está ubicado en la parte posterior del producto. Por favor anote el

número de serie en la hoja de garantía y guárdelo en un lugar seguro para usarlo como futura referencia.

ANTES DE USARLO

• Gracias por comprar este producto Pioneer.

• Por favor lea esta guía de operaciones antes de usar su
sistema de bocinas, a fi n de optimizar el funcionamiento.
Una vez que haya terminado de leer esta guía de opera­ciones, guárdela en un lugar seguro para usarla como
referencia en el futuro.

• La impedancia nominal de este sistema de bocinas es 8
ohmios. Conecte el sistema de bocinas a un amplifi cador
estéreo con una impedancia de carga de 4 a 16 ohmios
(un modelo que indique “4-16Ω” en los terminales de salida
a bocinas).

• Para evitar dañar el sistema de bocinas por una sobrecarga
a la entrada, tome las siguientes precauciones:

• No suministre más potencia de entrada al sistema de
bocinas que la máxima permitida.

• Cuando conecte o desconecte cables, verifi que que la
corriente al amplifi cador esté APAGADA.

• No use un volumen excesivo del amplifi cador si usa
un ecualizador gráfi co para enfatizar las altas o bajas
frecuencias.

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. We recommend a minimum of 18 gauge for runs up to 25 feet, and thicker for
longer runs.

Most loudspeaker cable is coded to ease this task. Typically the ribbed or striped side is connected to the
positive (red) terminal. Make sure that the amplifi er positive (red) terminal is connected to the loudspeaker
positive (red) terminal. Strip off ½” of the insulation from the ends of the cable, twist the bare strands and
insert into the binding posts. Take care that no stray strands of wire short across between the terminals.

Positive

Wire going to positive
terminal of receiver

1: Strip the cover and twist the strands

Negative

Wire going to negative
terminal of receiver

2: Connect each speaker cable (not supplied) to one set of
the receiver’s speaker output terminals and the speaker input
terminals. The red terminal is the positive (+), and the black

terminal is the negative (–). Make sure that the receiver positive
(red) terminal is connected to the speaker positive (red) terminal.

PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING

Correct placement is important for maximizing the sound quality of your loudspeaker system. Take time to
experiment with positioning according to the guidelines below.

Using the SP-BS41-LR as Front and Surround Speakers

For best results the tweeter should be positioned near ear level and the loudspeakers 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
bass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high
and image performance may be degraded. Best results will be obtained when the loudspeaker is placed
approximately 2 feet from the wall. If a corner location in unavoidable, try to position the loudspeaker so
that the distance to the rear wall is not equal to the distance to the side wall.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Do not install this speaker system near a stove or other heating appliance, or put it in a place exposed to
the sun. Such locations may cause the cabinet to change color and the speaker system to break down.

• Remember that the SP-BS41-LR is quite heavy, so it is dangerous to install it in high places such as on
walls or pillars or in the other unstable locations unless suitably secured in place.

Pioneer will not be responsible for any accidents or damage that may result from
improper installation.

If the speaker system is installed too close to the screen of a television set, color distortion may occur.
If this happens, turn off the power switch of the television set, and turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If the

problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

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 fi ve or six
times with water, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

• Never use thinner, benzine, insecticide sprays and other chemicals on or near the cabinets, since these
will corrode the surfaces.
