How To Install; Choosing Where To Place The Speaker Systems - Pioneer S-81-K Mode D'emploi

How to install

Choosing where to place the speaker systems

• Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in
subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space.
• For best sound, choose a solid floor upon which to place the
speakers, and position the speakers as shown below. The level
of low sounds can be adjusted by moving the speakers closer
to or further from the wall. Adjust the speakers so that they are
equidistant from their respective side walls to assure balanced
sound.

• Place the left and right speakers equal distances from your
listening position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of
the same length for each speaker.
• So far as possible, place the front left and front right speakers
on the same plane as the TV screen.
• To achieve optimum surround sound, you should place the TV
between the left and right speakers, with the speakers
pointing at a 50 to 60 degree angle toward the listening
position.
• 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. For best results, cover walls completely.
• Pioneer assumes no liability whatsoever for damages
resulting from assembly, improper mounting, insufficient
reinforcement, misuse of the product, acts of nature, etc.

• The cabinet uses sliced veneer made of natural wood. Do not
place the speaker where it will be in direct sunlight, and avoid
positioning it near heaters and air conditioners. Doing so may
cause warping and discoloration of the speaker cabinet and
damage to the speaker.

Using the spikes

legs, and the back spike located between the back two legs).

1 Set the spike bases in the positions where the points of
the three spikes will strike when the speaker is set down.
2 Set the speaker on the spike bases and check to confirm
the speaker does not rock.
• Always use the spike bases as shown, with the indented
surface facing up to receive the spike point.
If you do not use the spike bases when placing the
speakers, the spikes may cause damage to the floor. If
you plan on using the spikes we highly recommend to
use the spike bases.
Mounting the Fall-Prevention Fastener
• Using the included screw, tightly secure the metal catch to the
backside of the speaker.
• Pass a commercially-available reinforced string through the
metal 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 metal catch directly to the wall. It should
only be used in conjunction with reinforced string to prevent
the speaker from falling.
