OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS SPEAKER SYSTEM S-HF11C S-HF21-LR www.pioneerelectronics.com MODE D'EMPLOI ENCEINTES ACOUSTIQUES S-HF31-LR S-HF41-LR 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 8 ohms. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with "4 - 16 Ω" displayed on the speaker output terminals). • Do not touch the speaker cones as they are easily damaged. 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 anything in your AV system, make sure the amplifier is switched off. • 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 tweeter). Installing your speakers Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space. • These speakers are bookshelf-type speakers which will give their best performance when placed on a solid, level surface off the floor. Placing the speakers directly on the floor will result in boomy, undefined sound, and we strongly recommend using speaker stands for optimal performance. Ideally, the tweeters should be at about ear level when seated in your listening position. • Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury. Pioneer cannot take responsibility for injuries or accidents arising from improper mounting of these speakers on a wall or ceiling. • Speakers are heavy, so make sure the surface where you install the speakers is solid. For good sound, the speakers should be about 20cm away from the back wall and at least 50cm away from the side wall. *Illustration shows S-HF21-LR Caution: installation • Do not place the speakers on an unstable surface. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment. • Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the instructions when connecting up components. Make sure you use the correct connecting cables. • Do not put a TV or other AV equipment on top of these speakers. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment. • Do not attach the speakers to the wall or ceiling, or place them in a high location. If the speaker grilles are not properly attached, they could fall off, causing injury. Caution: in use • Don't use the speakers to output distorted sound for long periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard. • Do not sit or stand on the speakers or let children play on the speakers. • Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speakers. WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with the product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California and other governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling D36-P4_En 50cm 20cm • If you're using these speakers for your TV sound, install them at equal distances either side of the TV and point them in the same direction as the TV. • If the room has a lot of reverberation, we recommend hanging heavy fabric on the walls, and/or putting a carpet on the floor to damp the sound. For best results, cover walls completely. • Do not place the speaker where they will be in direct sunlight, and avoid positioning them near heaters and air conditioners. This may cause warping and discoloration of the speaker cabinet and damage the speakers. • These speakers are heavy. Placing them on an unstable surface is dangerous, and should be avoided. Not applicable to S-HF11C • Place the speakers equal distances from your listening position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of the same length for each speaker. 50 - 60º *Illustration shows S-HF21-LR 1
