User manual PIONEER S-H610V

[. . . ] Please consult those portions of the manual indicated for your model. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not place any container filled with liquid near this equipment (such as a vase or flower pot) or expose it to dripping, splashing, rain or moisture. Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product, and to protect it from overheating. [. . . ] 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. Once you have established a comfortable sound level: · set the dial and leave it there. Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime. THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE 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 As shown in the accompanying illustration, when surround speakers are installed to the rear of the listening position, you can enjoy genuine 5. Front left speaker Center speaker Front right speaker Subwoofer Listening position Surround left speaker Surround right speaker The subwoofer and surround speakers in this system cannot be used nearby a CRTbased TV or color monitor. When using this kind of CRT-based TV or color monitor, install the speakers away from the display device. Any other device liable to be influenced by magnetism (floppy disk drive, cassette tape recorder, video tape player, etc. ) should also be kept at a distance from the subwoofer and surround speakers. When moving the subwoofer, avoid touching the bottom surface, since the speaker unit is located there. Make sure you use the correct connecting cables. ⷠDo not sit or stand on the speaker, or let children play on the speaker. Doing so could provoke the speaker to fall, causing damages or bodily injury. ⷠInstall the subwoofer in a well-ventilated location where it will not be exposed to high temperatures and high humidity. ⷠDo not attach center speaker and subwoofer to the wall or ceiling, as they may cause injury in the event of a fall. ⷠThis speaker system has an impedance of 6 , and should be connected only to an receiver designed with a load impedance of 6 (the receiver's speaker output connector should clearly be labeled "6 "). If the speakers stop emitting noise when receiving too large a signal, turn the volume down on the receiver and wait a few seconds. When the subwoofer is combined with satellite speakers in a total system, the sound characteristics produced are like those shown in the accompanying graph, depicting the enhancement of the bass frequencies. This is particularly effective for reproducing ground rumbles and other deep sound effects found in movies. When there is no (or only very weak) input signal for a period of about ten minutes, the power mode automatically changes to standby (power indicator lights red). The power automatically turns on when a signal is input. [. . . ] ⷠTurn the volume knob counter-clockwise to lower the level. ⷠTurn the receiver's output level (volume, bass control, bass boost) counterclockwise to lower the level. Place the subwoofer a good distance from speakers. Turn the volume knob counter-clockwise to lower the volume. [. . . ]
