USER MANUAL S-81B-LR-K PIONEER

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.

Cleaning the speaker cabinet

• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 6 Ω. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load impedance ranging from 6 Ω to 16 Ω (a model with “6 Ω to 16 Ω” displayed on the speaker output terminals). 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).

With normal use, wiping with a dry cloth should be sufficient to keep the cabinet clean. If necessary, clean with a cloth dipped in a neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well. Do not use furniture wax or cleansers.

Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit since these will corrode the surfaces.

Cleaning the glossy finish of the speaker system

S-81B-LR-K only • If you use a dusty or hard cloth or if you rub the screen hard, the finish of the product will be scratched. • If you clean the surface of the speaker system with a wet cloth, water droplets on the surface may enter into the product, resulting in malfunction. • When cleaning the finish of the speaker system, gently wipe it with a dry soft cloth; the supplied cleaning cloth.

Caution: installation

• Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off and cause injury. • Do not install your speakers overhead on the ceiling or wall. If improperly attached, the speaker grille can fall and cause damage or personal injury.

• Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the instructions when connecting up components. Make sure you use the correct connecting cables.

• The grille is affixed with magnets. The grille may fall if force is applied to the grille in a horizontal direction. When cleaning the speaker, remove the grille first.

• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equipment. • Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for long periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard.

• Do not sit or stand on the speaker, or let children play on the speaker.

Cleaning cloth (for S-81B-LR-K only) x 1

• Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speaker.

Operating instructions

• Do not place magnetic objects such as screwdrivers or iron parts near the tweeter or woofer. Since the speakers use strong magnets, the objects may be attracted, causing injury or damaging the diaphragm.

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with the product will expose you to chemicals listed on proposition 65 known to the State of California and other governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defect or other reproductive harm.

When installing directly on the floor

Use the furnished spikes or non-skid pads when installing the speaker directly on floor surface.

Choosing where to place the speaker systems

• Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space.

• For best sound, choose a solid floor upon which to place the speakers, and position the speakers as shown below. The level of low sounds can be adjusted by moving the speakers closer to or further from the wall. Adjust the speakers so that they are equidistant from their respective side walls to assure balanced sound.

This speaker system includes spikes that you can use to isolate the speaker from the floor. Use the supplied spike bases to avoid scratching the floor or other surface where the speaker is placed.

1 Twist the spikes into the threaded metal inserts embedded in the bottom of the speaker.

• Place the left and right speakers equal distances from your listening position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of the same length for each speaker.

• So far as possible, place the front left and front right speakers on the same plane as the TV screen. • To achieve optimum surround sound, you should place the TV between the left and right speakers, with the speakers pointing at a 50 to 60 degree angle toward the listening position.

2 Set the spike bases in the positions where the points of the three spikes will strike when the speaker is set down.

3 Set the speaker on the spike bases and check to confirm the speaker does not rock.

• Always use the spike bases as shown, with the indented surface facing up to receive the spike point.

• 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.

• 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. Ideally, the tweeters should be at about ear level when seated in your listening position. We recommend using the CP-81B-K/MK speaker stand for optimal sound and stability. If you choose to use the CP-81B-K/MK speaker stand, make sure you secure it with the screws provided. (for more details, refer to the operating instructions of CP-81B-K/MK)

• Pioneer assumes no liability whatsoever for damages resulting from assembly, improper mounting, insufficient reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of nature, etc.

S-81B-LR-QL/W only • The cabinet uses sliced veneer made of natural wood. Do not place the speaker where it will be in direct sunlight, and avoid positioning it near heaters and air conditioners. Doing so may cause warping and discoloration of the speaker cabinet and damage to the speaker.

If you do not use the spike bases when placing the speakers, the spikes may cause damage to the floor. If you plan on using the spikes we highly recommend to use the spike bases.

• It is very dangerous to try and set the spike while tilting the speaker. Be sure to place the unit on a soft area (such as a blanket) so that it does not damage the floor, and carry out the installation with at least two people.

Using the non-skid pads

To assure stable installation, affix the non-skid pads to the bottom surface of the speaker base.

This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to an amplifier. Black terminal (−)

Input panel Amplifier (rear)

Attaching/removing the grille

SPEAKERS OUTPUT This speaker system comes with grille which may be attached and removed by:

1 To attach the grille, align the grille with the speaker body and press gently. 2 To remove the grille, hold the grille with both hands near the middle and pull gently toward you to separate the grille from the speaker.

Connecting the cables

Switch off the power to your amplifier.

2 Connect the speaker cables to the input terminals on the back of the speaker. For input terminal polarity, red is positive (+) and black is negative (–).

Loosen the knobs on the input terminals and insert the speaker cable wires into each of the terminal post holes, then tighten the knobs. Red terminal (+) Black terminal (−)

• Magnets are used for holding the grille in place. Do not place the grilles near devices that may be susceptible to magnetic influence (CRT televisions, etc.).

3 Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp’s speaker output terminals (for more details, refer to your amp instrucion manual). • You can also connect the speaker’s terminals with a banana plug. When using a banana plug, be sure to remove the cap at the tip of the input terminal. • After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound. • If the cables’ wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp. • When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you won’t be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity (+, –) of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed.

CAUTION These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any

D3-4-2-2-3_A_En uninsulated parts.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the

Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s

Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection. Decibel Level Example 30 40 50 60 70 80

Quiet library, soft whispers

Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting. • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower

100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill 120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap 140 Gunshot blast, jet plane 180 Rocket launching pad

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.
