After you have finished reading the instructions, put them away in a safe place for future reference. S-SLW500 Before you start S-SL100-LR/S-SL100CR · This speaker system has an impedance of 8 , and should be connected only to an amplifier designed with a load impedance of 8 (the amplifier's speaker output connector should clearly be labeled "8 "). 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). 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. · Install the center speaker below the TV. When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with tape or some other suitable means.

Mounting location 50° to 60° 3 En Installation example: Horizontal orientation 1 2 3 4 5 · The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a TV or monitor, as the interaction of magnetic materials can cause distortion of the colors on your TV screen. Devices easily affected by magnetism (magnetic media cards, wrist-watches, video tapes, etc.) should not be placed near the subwoofer. 6 7 8 Installation example: Vertical orientation · When installing the speaker system on a TV rack or AV rack, the rack or other audio components may vibrate due to vibrations generated by the speaker. Caution should be taken to assure that the rack shelves or other components do not shift positions due to the vibration. · Do not place disc media (DVD, CD) players on top of the subwoofer since sound skipping may occur due to vibration. 1 2 5 4 3 · When installing, allow at least 10 cm space between the rear of the unit and any wall; when installing vertically, also allow at least 10 cm space between the unit's left side and any wall. If insufficient distance is taken, the unit may display inadequate performance, or may malfunction. 8 6 7 · Since the speaker system is heavy, installation in unstable locations is extremely dangerous and should not be attempted. A falling speaker may cause damage or personal injury. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Front left speaker Center speaker Front right speaker Receiver Subwoofer Surround left speaker Listening position Surround right speaker Wall mounting the speakers (S-SL100-LR/S-SL100CR) The front, center and surround speakers have a mounting hole which can be used to mount the speaker on the wall. S-SL100-LR/S-SL100CR · Front speakers installed to the right and left should be separated by about 1.8 m to 2.7 m 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. · The surround effect will be diminished if the surround speakers are mounted at extreme distances from the listener's position. · This speaker system furnished in this system are designed for use close to a CRT-based TV or color monitor. However, if color distortion is caused due to the installation, try turning off the power to the CRT-based TV or color monitor for 15 to 30 minutes, then turning on the power again. The selfdegaussing function built into the CRT-based TV or color monitor should help ameliorate the effect of the speakers on the image. If color distortion continues to be a problem, separate the speakers farther away from the screen. If magnets or devices emitting magnetic fields are installed nearby, the interactive effect with the speaker system may cause color distortion in a CRT-based TV or color monitor. 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. · If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the wall, consult a professional for advice. · Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation. 5 mm 10 mm S-SLW500 · The subwoofer reproduces ultra-low sounds in monaural, using the fact that the human ear has little directional sensitivity to sounds in the low frequencies. As a result, the subwoofer can be located in a variety of places, but if placed too distant, the linkage between sounds of the subwoofer and other speakers may seem unnatural. The intensity of the sound from the subwoofer can be adjusted by changing the distance from the wall. Mounting screw (not supplied) 6 mm to 8 mm · Do not mount this product on a wall or hang from a ceiling. If the unit falls it may result in personal injury. 4 En Connection Connecting the cord 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.
