2 English www.pioneerelectronics.com/Home IMPORTANT NOTICE: The serial number for the equipment is located on the rear of the product. Please write this serial num- ber on the warranty sheet and keep it in a secure area for future reference. BEFORE USE • Thank you for buying this Pioneer® product. • Check your AV Receiver specifications for supported Dolby Atmos speaker configurations. • To assure maximum performance from your new speakers, please read through this operating guide before you install or use them. After you have finished reading this operating guide, store it in a safe place for future reference. • The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 ohms. Connect the speaker system to a stereo amplifier with a load impedance rating ranging from 4 to 6 ohms (a model with "4-16Ω" displayed on the speaker output terminals). • In order to prevent damage to the speaker resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions: - Do not supply power to the speaker in excess of the maximum rated power. - When connecting or disconnecting cables, be sure amplifier power is OFF. - Do not use excessive amplifier volume if using a graphic equalizer to emphasize high or low frequencies. BASIC NOTES ON THE SP-T22A-LR The SP-T22A-LR is an add-on speaker that converts a conventional home theater speaker system into a Dolby Atmos® sound system. The SP-T22A-LR is designed to bounce sound off your ceiling to immerse you in the dramatic surround-sound effects of your Dolby Atmos-enabled content. In order to use the SP-T22A-LR, you will need an A/V receiver or surround-sound processor equipped with Dolby Atmos processing. We designed the SP-T22A-LR to sit atop the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR bookshelf speaker and SP-FS52 tower speaker, but it can also be used with any tower or bookshelf speaker that has a flat top. Simply place the SP-T22A-LR atop your existing speakers, with the SP-T22A-LR positioned so its driver is angled in the same direction the speakers are facing. You can start by using one SP-T22A-LR atop each of your front main (left and right) speakers. To achieve a more dramatic effect from Dolby Atmos, add another SP-T22A-LR atop each of your rear surround speakers. 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, or the side with the connector marked in red or white, is connected to the positive (red) terminal. Make sure that the amplifier positive (red) terminal is connected to the loudspeaker positive (red) terminal, and that the amplifier negative (black) terminal is connected to the loudspeaker negative (black) terminal. If the wires you're using are not already terminated with banana plugs, spade lugs, etc., 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. Connect the other speakers in your surround-sound system as you normally would. Then connect the height-channel outputs of your Dolby Atmos-enabled A/V receiver (or surround processor and amplifier) to the SP-T22A-LR. Make sure that you connect the left and right channel signals from the receiver to the left and right SP-T22A-LRs, respectively. Repeat the process if you are using SP-T22A-LRs for the rear channels as well.
