S-VSL3 SPEAKER SYSTEM Operating Instructions Thank you for purchasing this Pioneer product. Be sure to read these Operating Instructions fully to understand the correct use of your product. Confirm your Accessories Before Using: • Acoustic control material • Hook-and-loop fastener strip (hook) x 1 • Hook-and-loop fastener strip (loop) x 1 • Operating Instructions This speaker system has a nominal impedance of 6 Ω. Connect it to a stereo amplifier designed for a load impedance of 4–16 Ω (the speaker output terminals should be labeled “4–16 Ω”). To protect the speakers from excessive inputs always follow these guidelines: →Do not input power loads larger than the specified permissible maximums. →Always disconnect amplifier power before connecting this and other components to your amplifier. →If a graphic equalizer is used to augment high-range sounds, reduce the speaker’s sound volume to prevent damaging the speakers. →Do not attempt to produce very high sound volumes from an underpowered amplifier. The amplifier’s harmonic distortion will increase and speakers may be damaged. • • Care of the Speaker Cabinets Under normal use, use a soft dry cloth to wipe dust from the cabinet surface. In case of severe soiling dip a clean cloth in a weak (1:5 or 1:6) solution of neutral detergent and water, wring out thoroughly, wipe the dirt away then wipe with a dry cloth. Never expose the surface to alcohol, thinner, benzene or insecticide since the surface printing and finish may come off. If using a chemically impregnated dusting cloth, read the instructions carefully and follow all precautions for use. CAUTION Regarding Installation The playback sound from the speaker system may change as a result of influences from the conditions of the listening room. When installing the speakers, consider the location carefully in order to get optimum results from your installation. • [Installation] • Do not install speakers in unstable, unlevel or leaning positions. Damage or personal injury could be caused if the speaker falls. When connecting this speaker system to a television or audio component, read the respective component’s operating instructions carefully disconnect the power and connect according to the instructions. Always perform connections using the designated wires and cables. The speaker system’s front grill cannot be removed. Do not attempt to remove it since damage will result. • • • • For a suspended installation, fasten a cord or chain to the metal fixture on the rear panel and attach securely to a pillar or wall. Be sure the pillar or wall used has sufficient strength to support the speaker’s weight. After installing the speaker confirm that it is supported securely and will not fall. If the speaker falls it may be damaged. Do not hang the speaker directly from the metal fixture on the rear panel. To prevent the speaker from falling, always attach a cord or chain to the metal fixture when suspending the speaker from a wall or pillar.[Using the Speakers] • If sound from speakers is distorted do not play for extended periods of time since the speaker may overheat and could present a fire danger. Do not climb or sit on the speakers or hang from them. Take special precautions if the speakers are used around children. A falling or broken speaker could cause personal injury. Do not place heavy items on the speaker or items which hang over the speaker’s edge, since loss of balance could cause the object to fall and hurt someone. These speakers are magnetically shielded and should not cause color distortion even when used nearby television sets. On rare occasions, installing the speaker very close to a television may result in some degree of color distortion; in such cases disconnect the television’s power, wait 15-30 minutes and turn on power again. If color distortion continues, try separating the television and speakers. • • • Note A speaker system’s sound characteristics will change depending on the environment and conditions under which the system is. A speaker system can be used without problem immediately after purchase, but its design performance characteristics will be best demonstrated after breaking them in by playing music for several dozen hours. IM-S-VSL3-new.p65 1 Mounting fixture • Cable or chain Always attach a cord or chain to the mounting fixture when using the speaker in a suspended installation. This speaker system weighs about 8 kilograms. Floor installations should be on a flat and stable floor surface; the speaker should be installed away from walls, as shown in the accompanying illustration. The distance between the speaker and the wall behind it can be changed to adjust the bass emphasis. Adjust the distance so that no audible difference in tone is heard from left and right speakers. 3/22/2004, 4:35 PM 50cm 20cm Specifications • Frequency response and harmonic distortion Frequency response/Harmonic distortion 100 Output level (dB) Speaker Type .......

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts. To establish a safe level: your volume control at a low setting. •• Start Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion. Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection. Decibel Level Example 30 Quiet library, soft whispers 40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic 50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office 60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine 70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant 80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet. 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 Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation. 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. 3 IM-S-VSL3-new.p65 3 3/22/2004, 4:38 PM • The most natural listening experience will be produced when the listening position is midway between and an equal distance from the two speakers, as shown. Adjust the speaker wire to the same length from both speakers. 1. Remove insulation at end of wire and twist ends of wire strands. 2. Insert speaker wire through hole in the bottom of the speaker stand. 3. Loosen the screws, pass the wire cores through the terminal holes and retighten thoroughly. Red + Black - Adjusting the Bass Range This speaker system is supplied with acoustic control material which can be affixed to the bottom of the stand as a means of adjusting the bass frequency range. Apply the material as shown, in accordance with your installation location and personal listening tastes. Connect the hot-side speaker wire to the + speaker output terminal. Connect the common-side speaker wire to the - speaker output terminal. Acoustic control material Apply acoustic control material sheet to the bottom surface of the speaker system stand. Take care not to allow the sheet to come between the small skid-pads and floor. • • • • When using the speakers in a room with permeable walls, place the speakers as closely as possible along the walls or install them in front of a screen or other object with reflective properties. When used with a television, the speakers should be installed so that their front surfaces are in the same plane as the screen of the television. When using the speakers with a television screen, the optimum breadth of sound will be produced when the television screen is placed midway between the right and left speakers and the speakers are oriented at angles of about 50–60° from the listening position. In rooms with hard reflective or resonating walls it may be desirable to cover the walls with a curtain and/or place a carpet on the floor to dampen excessive sound reflection. Extending the curtain all the way to the corners will help prevent local deadening of the sound. On the other hand if the wall opposite the speakers (behind the listening position) is also composed of a hard surface, placing a thick curtain over the wall will help prevent the production of standing waves and result in better sound. 4. Remove the protective backing paper from the hookand-loop fastener strip (hook strip), and apply to the bottom of the speaker stand near the rim depression for the speaker wire (see illustration). 5. Pass the speaker wire through the rim depression as shown. 6. Place the other hook-and-loop fastener strip (loop strip) onto the first strip (hook) with the speaker wire passing between the two strips, so as to fix the speaker wire in position. Hook-and-loop fastener strip (loop) Hook-and-loop fastener strip (hook) Place loop strip over wire and onto hook strip. Installation Precautions • Rim depression for speaker wire. These speaker systems are heavy; installing them in unstable locations is extremely dangerous and should be avoided. Connection to Amplifier Terminals are provided at the bottom of the speakers for connection to an amplifier. 1 Disconnect the power cord to the amplifier. 2 Connect the speaker wires to the input terminals at the bottom of the speakers to the amplifier’s speaker output terminals. Connect the hot-side speaker wire to the + speaker output terminal; connect the common-side speaker wire to the - speaker output terminal. • • • After connecting the wires to terminals, pull gently on the wire and confirm that the wire lead is fastened securely to its terminal. Insecure connections will result in distorted sound and noise. Do not allow bare wire ends to protrude excessively from the terminals. If the bare wires from the two leads touch each other excessive load will be placed on the amplifier leading to possible damage or malfunction. Be sure to connect the + and – leads to their correct terminals. If the poles at one end of the wires are connected mistakenly (+ to – , – to +), proper stereo effect will not be produced. 2 IM-S-VSL3-new.p65 2 3/22/2004, 4:35 PM www.pioneerelectronics.com LIMITED WARRANTY PIONEER ELECTRONICS (USA) INC.
