Pioneer S-LX70-LR: Installing the speakers

En

Installing the speakers

This speaker system cannot be placed directly on the surface of 

floors or shelves. Always attach to a wall using the supplied 

brackets, or use speaker stand CP-LX70 (floor stand) (sold 

separately) or CP-LX70TS (tabletop stand) (sold separately) when 

placing on the surface of floors or shelves.

• This speaker system is magnetically shielded. However, 

depending on the installation location, color distortion may 

occur if the speaker system is installed extremely close to the 

screen of a television set.  If this happens, turn the power switch 

of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 to 30 minutes. 

If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the 

television set.

Mounting on walls

Once decided on the location of installation (such as the wall space 

to the left and right of the TV), attach the speakers following the next 

procedures.

Two types of brackets (for speakers) are supplied. When using 

alongside with a Pioneer plasma television, use the L-type brackets. 

When attaching flush against the wall, use the S-type brackets.

The left and right wall brackets are shaped differently. Be sure to 

install the correct bracket on each side.

Connect speaker cables.

• Speaker cables are not included with this speaker system.

This speaker does not include speaker cables used for connecting 

to an amplifier. Take the following factors into consideration when 

choosing speaker cables so that you can get the most from your 

speaker system:

• Use heavy-gauge speaker cable if possible, and keep the cables 

to the minimum necessary length.

• If the length of cable required for left and right speakers differs, 

use cables of the same length, matched to the longer distance.

• Cables have differing characteristics. Keep this in mind when 

using any cable.

• Connections at speaker and amplifier terminals should be 

made as tight and secure as possible to help reduce contact 

resistance.

When mounting the speakers onto walls using the brackets, 

connect the speaker cables before attaching speakers onto the 

brackets.

• If the cables’ wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, 

allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it 

places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause 

the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp.

• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make 

sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the 

terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions 

in the sound.

• When using a set of speakers connected to an amplifier, you 

won’t be able to obtain the normal stereo effect if the polarity 

(

+

 , 

–

) of one of the speakers (left or right) is reversed.

Paste the supplied wall mounting template on the area of 

installation.

• The left and right wall mounting templates are shaped 

differently.

Attach the template level to the ground using an adhesive such as 

tape. Make sure the template is straight to avoid mounting the 

speaker crookedly. Pasting the template too close to the TV may 

cause the TV to get in the way of the speaker when installing. Make 

sure the template and TV do not overlap.

• Make sure that the wall you intend to mount the speakers on 

is strong enough to support them.

• Remember that the speaker system is heavy. Improper 

installation of the speakers could cause them to fall and 

cause damage or injuries to persons nearby.

• Mounting screws are not supplied. Use screws suitable for 

the wall material and support the weight of the speaker. 

If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the walls, 

consult a professional for advice.
