Frequently Asked Questions - S-DJ80X PIONEER

How to power on the S-DJ80X speaker?

Connect the supplied power cord to the AC IN socket on the rear, then plug it into a wall outlet. First set the VOLTAGE SELECTOR switch to the appropriate voltage, then set the POWER switch to ON. The POWER indicator lights up on the front.

What to do if no sound comes out of the speaker?

Check that the power cord is plugged in, the POWER switch is ON, and the volume (LEVEL knob) is high enough. Make sure the audio source is properly connected (XLR, TRS or RCA) and its volume is set. If the auto standby function is enabled, disable it or increase the input signal.

How does auto standby work?

The AUTO STANDBY switch enables or disables auto standby. When enabled, the speaker enters standby mode after approximately 25 minutes without input signal to save energy. It wakes up automatically when a signal is detected. If the signal is too weak, disable this function for normal use.

What to do if the POWER indicator stays off?

Check that the POWER switch is in the ON position. If auto standby is enabled, the indicator turns off in standby mode. To turn it back on, turn the POWER switch off, wait a few seconds, then turn it on again. Also make sure the power cord is properly connected.

How to adjust the treble on the speaker?

Use the HF LEVEL ADJ knob on the rear. You can select between -2 dB, -1 dB, 0 dB and +1 dB to adjust the high-frequency response according to your acoustic preferences.

Can I use XLR and TRS inputs at the same time?

No, do not connect the XLR INPUT and TRS INPUT connectors simultaneously. Use one or the other, but not both at the same time. The RCA inputs can be used separately.

What clearance is needed around the speaker?

Leave at least 30 cm above, behind and on each side of the speaker to ensure adequate ventilation. Do not place objects blocking the ventilation openings to avoid overheating.

How to clean the S-DJ80X speaker?

Unplug the speaker before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents, chemicals or wet cloths. Avoid getting water into the openings.

What to do in case of sound distortion?

Reduce the volume with the LEVEL knob on the rear or lower the output level of the audio source. Also check that the cables are properly connected and that the inputs are not overloaded.

Where can I find spare parts or have the speaker repaired?

No user-serviceable parts are inside. For any repair or replacement, contact a Pioneer-authorized service center or your dealer. Non-domestic use may void the warranty.

D3-4-2-1-7c*_A1_En

CAUTION

The POWER switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down all power.

POWER-CORD CAUTION

Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Installation and Connections

How to Install

A speaker's playback sound is delicately influenced by conditions in the listening room. To produce optimum listening conditions, take due consideration of the conditions of your installation location before beginning actual installation.

- Place the speakers at ear level.

Simple line drawing of a human head facing two speakers (no text or symbols)

- For a natural stereo effect, the right and left speakers should be installed in symmetrical and equidistant positions from the listening position.

- Speakers should ideally be located at 30^ angles from the listening position (together forming a total 60^ angle), and rotated inward to face the listening position.

50° ~ 60°

CAUTION

To promote proper cooling, please assure that sufficient space is preserved between the speakers and nearby walls or other components (minimum 30 cm or more above, behind, and to right and left sides of each speaker). Leaving insufficient space between the speaker and walls or other components may lead to rising interior temperatures, leading to malfunction or damage.

Connections

• When making or changing connections, always turn off the power and disconnect the power cord from its outlet.
• Also, be sure to read the operating instructions for the other components to which you are connecting these speakers.
• Do not plug in the power cord until all other connections have been completed.

• Use only the furnished accessory power cord.

• Do not connect to both the XLR INPUT connector and the TRS INPUT jack at the same time.

• Make sure to set the sound level at an appropriate level as the input signals to the XLR INPUT connector (or TRS INPUT jack) and RCA INPUT jack will be mixed together, affecting the sound level.
