OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SPEAKER SYSTEM

S-HF11C

Thank you for buying this Pioneer product. Please read through

these operating instructions so you will know how to operate your

model properly. After you have finished reading the instructions,

put them away in a safe place for future reference.

Before you start

• The nominal impedance of this speaker system is 8 ohms.

Connect the speaker system to an amplifier with a load

impedance ranging from 4 to 16 ohms (a model with

"4 – 16 Ω" 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.

• When connecting or disconnecting anything in your AV

system, make sure the amplifier is switched off.

• When using a graphic equalizer to emphasize loud sounds in

the high-frequency range, do not use excessive amplifier

volume.

• Do not try to force a low-powered amplifier to produce loud

volumes of sound (the amplifier's harmonic distortion will be

increased, and you may damage the tweeter).

Caution: installation

• Do not place the speakers on an unstable surface. It could

present a hazard if it falls, as well as damaging the equip-

ment.

• Switch off and unplug your AV equipment and consult the

instructions when connecting up components. Make sure you

use the correct connecting cables.

• Do not put a TV or other AV equipment on top of these

speakers. It could present a hazard if it falls, as well as

damaging the equipment.

• Do not attach the speakers to the wall or ceiling, or place them

in a high location. If the speaker grilles are not properly

attached, they could fall off, causing injury.

Caution: in use

• Don't use the speakers to output distorted sound for long

periods of times. This can result in a fire hazard.

• Do not sit or stand on the speakers or let children play on the

speakers.

• Do not put large or heavy objects on top of the speakers.

WARNING: Handling the cord on this product or

cords associated with accessories sold with the

product will expose you to lead, a chemical known to

the State of California and other governmental

entities to cause cancer and birth defects or other

reproductive harm.

Installing your speakers

Sounds played through speaker systems are easily affected in

subtle ways by the conditions in the listening space.

• These speakers are bookshelf-type speakers which will give

their best performance when placed on a solid, level surface

off the floor. Placing the speakers directly on the floor will

result in boomy, undefined sound, and we strongly recom-

mend using speaker stands for optimal performance. Ideally,

the tweeters should be at about ear level when seated in your

listening position.

• Do not attach these speakers to the wall or ceiling. They may

fall off and cause injury.

Pioneer cannot take responsibility for injuries or accidents

arising from improper mounting of these speakers on a wall or

ceiling.

• Speakers are heavy, so make sure the surface where you

install the speakers is solid. For good sound, the speakers

should be about 20cm away from the back wall and at least

50cm away from the side wall.

50cm

• If you're using these speakers for your TV sound, install them

at equal distances either side of the TV and point them in the

same direction as the TV.

• 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.

• Do not place the speaker where they will be in direct sunlight,

and avoid positioning them near heaters and air conditioners.

This may cause warping and discoloration of the speaker

cabinet and damage the speakers.

• These speakers are heavy. Placing them on an unstable

surface is dangerous, and should be avoided.

Not applicable to S-HF11C

• Place the speakers equal distances from your listening

position for good stereo sound. Use speaker cords of the

same length for each speaker.
