ENGLISH www.pioneerelectronics.com 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 amplifier positive (red) terminal is connected to the loudspeaker positive (red) terminal. Strip off ½" of 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. 1: Strip the cover and twist the strands 2 Negative Positive Wire going to negative terminal of receiver Wire going to positive 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. terminal is The red terminal is the the negNaégtivateiv(e-).

Once the SP-C21 is placed on the feet, tilt the speaker to the desired angle, depending on the location of the speaker in relation to the desired listening position. NOTE: Do not use adhesive or screws to attach the feet to the speaker. Doing this will damage the cabinet and void the warranty. 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-FS51-LR or SP-BS21-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 is unavoidable, try to position the loudspeaker so that the distance to the rear wall is not equal to the distance to the side wall.
