Frequently Asked Questions - SES21CRK PIONEER

How to connect the speakers?

Make sure the amplifier is turned off. Connect the red speaker cord to the red (+) terminal and the other cord to the black (-) terminal on the amplifier and the speaker. Gently pull the cords to check the connection. Refer to your amplifier's instruction manual.

What amplifier impedance is required?

These speakers have an impedance of 8 Ω. The amplifier must be designed for an 8 Ω load (the speaker output connector must mention '8 Ω').

How to clean the speakers?

Use a dry cloth or soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, soak a cloth in diluted neutral cleaner (5 to 6 parts water), wring well, then wipe with a dry cloth. Never use thinner, benzine, or insecticide.

Are the speakers magnetically shielded?

Yes, this speaker system is magnetically shielded. However, if installed too close to a TV, it may cause color distortion. In that case, turn off the TV and turn it on after 15-30 minutes or move the speakers away.

How to mount the speakers on the wall?

Use a reinforced cord (not supplied) passed through the plastic attachment on the back of the speaker. Securely fasten the cord to the wall. Ensure the wall is strong enough to support the weight (8.7 kg). If in doubt, consult a professional.

What to do if the sound is distorted?

Reduce the amplifier output level (volume, bass control, bass boost). Also check the quality of the source signals. Prolonged distortion may damage the speakers.

What to do if there is no sound?

Check that the amplifier is turned on and the volume control is not at zero. Make sure the speaker cords are properly connected (terminals and polarity). Replace the cords if necessary.

How to remove the front grille?

Grasp the grille with both hands at its base and pull toward you to unhook the bottom. Then grasp the top and pull gently. To reinstall, align the holes with the projections and press each corner in.

Can I place the speakers on a shelf?

Yes, but place them on a flat and firm surface. Avoid placing them on an unstable surface. Use the appropriate support. Do not install the speakers at height without secure fastening.

How to dispose of the device at end of life?

Do not throw it away with household waste. Take it to an approved collection center or a retailer (if you buy a new similar device). In the EU, Switzerland, and Norway, return is free. Contact local authorities for more information.

BEFORE USE

Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.

Please read through these operating instructions before using your speaker system to optimize performance.

• This speaker system has an impedance of 8 , and should be connected only to an amplifier designed with a load impedance of 8 (the amplifier's speaker output connector should clearly be labeled "8 ").
• In order to prevent damage to the speaker system resulting from input overload, please observe the following precautions:

-Be sure to turn the connected devices off and remove the power cord from the wall outlet beforehand when changing the connection or installation method.

-Do not use excessive amplifier volume if using a tone control to emphasize high or low frequencies.

- Do not use the speaker to output distorted sound for long periods of time. This can result in a fire hazard.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Do not install these units near a stove or other heating appliance, or put them in a place exposed to the sun. Such locations may cause the cabinet to change color and the speaker system to break down.
• Do not attach the front speakers to the wall or ceiling. It may fall off and cause injury.
• Placing the stand on an unstable surface can be dangerous. Be sure to place it on a flat, firm surface.
• This speaker system is magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if the speaker system is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set.

If this happens, turn off the television, then turn it on again after 15 min to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

• Do not install your speakers overhead on the ceiling or wall. The grille is designed to be detachable, and as such it may fall and cause damage or personal injury if installed overhead.
• Do not place heavy or large objects on top of the speaker. Doing so could provoke the speaker to fall, causing damages or bodily injury.

PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING

For best results the speakers should be separated a distance approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the speakers inward towards the listener will improve the image stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the midbass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high and image performance may be degraded.

STANDARD SURROUND SETUP

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

MAKING AMPLIFIER SETTINGS

Before connecting the speakers, please read the operating instructions supplied with your amplifier to select the speaker setting of amplifier :

• FRONT SPEAKERS : LARGE

CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM

Important

Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.

- Correct wiring of your speakers is essential for achieving the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure proper polarity of connection.

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 uninsulated parts.

D3-4-2-2-3 A1 En

Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the amplifier.

Connect the red marked speaker cord to the red (+) terminal and the other cord to the black (−) terminal as shown below (for more details, refer to your amplifier instruction manual).

Note

After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cords to make sure that the ends of the cords are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound.

Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the speakers.

Unscrew the terminals on the speaker and insert the red marked speaker cord into the red (+) terminal and the other cord into the black (−) terminal as shown below.

SECURING THE FRONT SPEAKERS

• Pass a commercially-available reinforced string through the plastic catch to securely support the speaker to the wall. Be sure that the wall to which you fasten the speaker is strong enough to support the weight of the speaker. After fastening the speaker, make sure that it does not fall over.
• The speaker can incur damage in the event of a fall.
- Do not attach the plastic catch directly to the wall. It should only be used in conjunction with reinforced string to prevent the speaker from falling.

Pass and tie two reinforced strings through the plastic catch, and fasten the speaker to the wall as shown above.

Note

• If you are unsure of the quality and strength of the walls, consult a professional for advice.
• Pioneer is not responsible for any accidents or damage that result from improper installation.

CABINET MAINTENANCE

Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt. When the cabinet is very dirty, clean with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.

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

ATTACHING / DETATCHING THE GRILLE

The front grille of this speaker system is removable. Proceed as follows:

1. To detach the grille, grab it by its bottom with both hands and toward you to separate the bottom part of the grille from the speaker.
2. Next, grab the top part of the grille and gently pull it toward you to remove the top portion.
3. To replace the grille, align the holes in the front of the speaker's corners with the projections on the grille, and push each of the corners into place.
