User manual PIONEER S-2EX-QL

[. . . ] 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. Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with "4 ­ 16 " displayed on the speaker output terminals). Do not touch the speaker cones as they are easily damaged. 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. [. . . ] The speaker is very heavy (about 28 kg) and can cause serious damage or injury if you are attempting to adjust the spikes with the speaker standing or leaning. Make sure to lay down a cloth and make spike adjustments with the speaker laying flat. Two people or more during placement and setup is advised. 3 Connect the other ends of the cables to the amp's speaker output terminals (for more details, refer to your amp owner's manual). 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. Before connecting to your amplifier, make sure that the amp is switched off. This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting to a stereo. Use heavy-gauge speaker cable if possible, and keep the cables to the minimum necessary length. If the length of cable required for left and right speakers differs, use cables of the same length, matched to the longer distance. Select cables with as little resistance as possible, and make sure the cables to the speaker terminals and amp are firm and secure. Bi-wiring requires two cables for each speaker, one for high frequencies and one for low frequencies. Using separate cables for the high end and low end improves the sound. 1 Loosen the cap knobs on the left input terminals and remove the two short bars. In this state, the low-frequency speakers and the higherfrequency speakers are completely independent. Store the short bars in a safe place for later use. The lower terminals are for the bass, and the upper terminals are for midrange and treble sounds. 2 Insert a speaker cable into each of the terminal post holes, then tighten the knobs. The front grille of this speaker system is removable. [. . . ] There is a separate collection system for used electronic products in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling. Private households in the 25 member states of the EU, in Switzerland and Norway may return their used electronic products free of charge to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one). For countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal. By doing so you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health.
