Pioneer S-CR52-W User Manual

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.

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.

For optimum effect, install the rear speakers above ear level. Install the centre 

speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is 
localized at the tv screen.

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.

If the rear speakers are hung on the wall, for added safety, attach the grilles 

using provided accessory parts.

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.

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    terminal. Do not 
forget that the red input terminal has positive polarity and that the black input 
terminal has negative polarity.
