Pioneer S-H320V-QL Instruction Manual

BEFORE OPERATION

Thank you for buying this PIONEER product.
Read the Instruction Manual carefully before using these speakers so that you
can operate them properly. After you have finished, put this manual away in a
safe place for future reference.
The rated impedance of these speakers is 8 . They must be connected to an
amplifier which accepts this type of load (miminum and maximum impedances
accepted by the amplifier are generally indicated near the speakers outlets: for
example "4 to 16 " or "6 to 16 ").
To guard against damage to these speakers due to an electric power overload,
take the following precautions:
Do not supply more than the maximum permitted power to the speakers
(see Specifications).
Any connection or switching on or off of part of the audio system (CD
player, tuner etc.) must be carried out after switching off the amplifier or at
least with the loudspeaker outlets disconnected (if the amplifier allows).
Interference caused by these operations will otherwise reach the speakers
and may damage the treble loudspeaker units.
When boosting particular frequencies using a graphic equaliser or bass
and treble correctors, make sure that you do not increase the amplifier
volume excessively, as the speakers will be overloaded more quickly.
Do not force a low-power amplifier to produce a high level of sound as
harmonic distortion increases rapidly in this situation and may pose a
danger to the treble speaker units.
Avoid touching the diaphragms and suspensions of speakers units as they are
fragile.
The speaker units in these speakers are magnetically shielded.
However, colours may blur if the speakers are positioned too close to a
television screen. If this happens, switch off the television and switch it
back on again after 15 to 30 minutes. If the problem persists, move the
speakers away from the television set.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTION
For optimum sound reproduction of high frequencies, the treble speaker units
must be at the same height as the listener's ears.
For low frequencies, it is possible to increase the level of bass sounds by
positioning the speakers close to a wall (the maximum increase being obtained
for a position in a corner of the listening room).
Do not install the speakers close to an oven or heating appliance. Avoid
exposing them to direct sunlight. High temperatures can distort the structure of
the enclosure and adversely affect the sound.
These speakers are heavy and fragile, and it is therefore dangerous to install
them in an unstable position. For added safety, it is advisable to attach these
speakers to a wall or pillar using chains and hooks (not supplied). To do so,
stretch the chains between the ties located on the rear of the speakers and the
hooks.
Do not hang these speakers on the wall.
CONNECTIONS
Switch off the amplifier power supply (OFF).
Connect the cables to the input terminals on the rear of the speaker: Connect
the neutral cable to the terminal and the live cable to the
forget that the red input terminal has positive polarity and that the black input
terminal has negative polarity.
Connect the cables to the loudspeaker outlet terminals of the amplifier. Connect
the live cable to the + terminal and the neutral cable to the
REMARKS :
Check that the cables are securely connected to the terminals. A loose
connection may cause not just intermittent or distorted sound but short-circuiting
and breakdown of the amplifier.
If the cables of one of the speakers have been connected with the wrong
polarities, you will find when listening to a stereo recording that bass sounds are
weakened and the stereo effect normally obtained between the two speakers
does not exist.

MAINTENANCE OF THE ENCLOSURE
Use a cloth to wipe away dust and dirt.
If the enclosure is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent
diluted five to six times with water, then wipe again with the dry cloth. Do not use
thinner, benzene, cleaning sprays or other chemical products on or near the
enclosures as the surfaces could be adversely affected.
