English BEFORE OPERATION

Thank you for buying this PIONEER product. Read the Instruction Manual carefully before using this speaker system so that you can operate it properly. After you have finished, put this manual away in a safe place for future reference. The rated impedance of this speaker system is 8 . It must be connected to a amplifier which accepts this type of load (miminum and maximum impedances accepted by the amplifier are generally indicated near the loudspeaker outlets: for example "4-16 " or "6-16 "). To guard against damage to this speaker system due to an electric power overload, take the following precautions: Do not supply more than the maximum permitted power to the speaker system (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 speaker 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 speaker 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. The speaker units in this speaker system 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.

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. This speaker system is heavy and fragile, and it is therefore dangerous to install it in an unstable position.

CONNECTIONS
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. 1
Strip the insulation at the tip of the cord and twist the strands.

2

Turn the thumbscrew anti-clockwise, make sure that the speaker cord is inserted well into the hole and turn the thumbscrew clokwise to fasten into position.

3 Connect the common-side speaker cord
to the terminal

4 Connect the hot-side speaker cord to the
+ terminal.

Connect the cables to the loudspeaker outlet terminals of the amplifier. Connect the live cable to the + terminal and the neutral cable to the terminal. . REMARKS : Check that the cables are securely connected to the terminals. A loose connection may cause not just intermittent or distorted sound but short-circuiting and breakdown of the amplifier. If the cables of one of the speakers have been connected with the wrong polarities, you will find when listening to a stereo recording that bass sounds are weakened and the stereo effect normally obtained between the two speakers does not exist.

INSTALLATION
1 Attach the base to the bottom of the
speaker using the screws supplied

3 The grilles are detachable and
interchangeable. By this way, PIONEER offers you the possibility to match the S-H710V speaker system with your interior. You may use the following colours : Black, White and Red.

MAINTENANCE OF THE ENCLOSURE
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.

SPECIFICATIONS
2 Foam cushions are provided with
this speaker system. Attach them to the four corners of the base as desired.

ADVICES AND PRECAUTIONS : For optimum sound reproduction of high frequencies, the treble speaker units must be at the same height as the listener's ears. 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).
