CONNECTING YOUR SYSTEM
IMPORTANT: Make sure all equipment is turned off before making any connections.
Correct wiring of your loudspeakers is essential for achieving the best sound quality. Be careful to ensure
proper polarity of connection. We recommend a minimum of 18 gauge for runs up to 25 feet, and thicker for
longer runs.
Most loudspeaker cable is coded to ease this task. Typically the ribbed or striped side is connected to the
positive (red) terminal. Make sure that the amplifi er positive (red) terminal is connected to the loudspeaker
positive (red) terminal. Strip off ½” of the insulation from the ends of the cable, twist the bare strands and
insert into the binding posts. Take care that no stray strands of wire short across between the terminals.
PLACEMENT AND FINE TUNING
Correct placement is important for maximizing the sound quality of your loudspeaker system. Take time to
experiment with positioning according to the guidelines below.
Using the SP-BS41-LR as Front and Surround Speakers
For best results the tweeter should be positioned near ear level and the loudspeakers separated a distance
approximately equal to the listening distance. Angling the loudspeakers inward towards the listener will
improve the image stability for non-central listeners. Close proximity to a side or rear wall will enhance the
bass performance, although too close (particularly a corner location) and the bass may be unnaturally high
and image performance may be degraded. Best results will be obtained when the loudspeaker is placed
approximately 2 feet from the wall. If a corner location in unavoidable, try to position the loudspeaker so
that the distance to the rear wall is not equal to the distance to the side wall.
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS
• Do not install this speaker system near a stove or other heating appliance, or put it in a place exposed to
the sun. Such locations may cause the cabinet to change color and the speaker system to break down.
• Remember that the SP-BS41-LR is quite heavy, so it is dangerous to install it in high places such as on
walls or pillars or in the other unstable locations unless suitably secured in place.
Pioneer will not be responsible for any accidents or damage that may result from
improper installation.
If the speaker system is installed too close to the screen of a television set, color distortion may occur.
If this happens, turn off the power switch of the television set, and turn it on after 15 to 30 minutes. If the
problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.
CABINET MAINTENANCE
• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
• When the cabinet is very dirty, clean with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted fi ve or six
times with water, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleaners.
• Never use thinner, benzine, insecticide sprays and other chemicals on or near the cabinets, since these
will corrode the surfaces.
1: Strip the cover and twist the strands
2: Connect each speaker cable (not supplied) to one set of
the receiver’s speaker output terminals and the speaker input
terminals. The red terminal is the positive (+), and the black
terminal is the negative (–). Make sure that the receiver positive
(red) terminal is connected to the speaker positive (red) terminal.

Dear Customer,
The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands. Get the most out of your
equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound
come through clearly 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.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
Set your volume control at a low setting.
Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and
clearly, without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the
dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s
around you.
Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially
hazardous situations.

CONNEXION DES ENCEINTES ACOUSTIQUES
IMPORTANT : Veillez à ce que tout l’équipement soit hors tension avant d’effectuer toute connexion.
Un câblage approprié des haut-parleurs est essentiel pour obtenir un son de la meilleure qualité possible.
Veillez à avoir une polarité correcte de connexion. Nous recommandons l’utilisation d’un calibre minimum
de 18 pour des longueurs allant jusqu’à 25 pieds et plus épais pour des longueurs plus longues.
La majorité des câbles de haut-parleurs sont codés pour faciliter cette tâche. En général, le côté nervuré
ou rayé est raccordé à la borne positive (rouge). Assurez-vous de connecter la borne positive (rouge) de
l’amplifi cateur à la borne positive (rouge) du haut-parleur. Dénudez ½” d’isolant des extrémités du câble,
tordez les fi ls nus et insérez-les dans les bornes de raccordement. Veillez à ce qu’aucun brin de fi l ne fasse
court-circuit entre les bornes.
EMPLACEMENT ET SYNTONISATION DE PRÉCISION
Le choix d’un emplacement correct est important pour maximiser la qualité sonore du système de haut-
parleurs. Prenez le temps d’essayer plusieurs emplacements conformément aux directives ci-dessous.
Utilisation des modèles SP-BS41-LR comme enceintes avant et surround
Pour obtenir les meilleurs résultats possibles, le tweeter doit être positionné à proximité du niveau des
oreilles et les haut-parleurs séparés d’une distance approximativement égale à la distance d’écoute.
Orienter les haut-parleurs vers l’intérieur vers l’auditeur améliorera la stabilité d’image pour les auditeurs
qui ne sont pas au centre. Une proximité étroite d’un mur latéral ou arrière accentuera la performance
des basses, bien que trop proche (en particulier un emplacement en angle) et les basses risquent d’être
anormalement hautes et la performance d’image risque d’être dégradée. Pour obtenir les meilleurs résul-
tats possibles, le haut-parleur doit être placé à approximativement 2 pieds du mur. Si le haut-parleur doit
être installé dans un coin, essayez de le positionner de manière que la distance au mur arrière ne soit pas
égale à la distance au mur latéral.
1: Dénudez la gaine et tordez les ls. 2: Connectez chaque câble d’enceinte (non fourni) à un jeu de
bornes de sortie aux haut-parleurs du récepteur et aux bornes
d’entrée de l’enceinte. La borne rouge est positive (+) et la borne
noire est négative (-). Assurez-vous de connecter la borne positive
(rouge) du récepteur à la borne positive (rouge) du haut-parleur.
