Pioneer S-HTD330 manual Connecting up, Placing the speakers

02Connecting up

Connect each speaker using the color-coded speaker cable. Match them to the colored labels above the speaker terminals.

•Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

This system has been designed for best performance when connected to the supplied speakers. We do not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use other speakers with this system.

1Twist and pull off the protective shields on each wire.

2Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the system unit.

Match the colored wire with the color-coded label (above the tabs), then insert the colored wire into the red (+) tab and the other wire with the black (–) tab.

3Connect to the speaker terminals on the rear of the speakers in the same way.

•Remove the supplied non-skid pads from the paper, and stick four onto the base of each satellite speaker. Actual speakers supplied may differ from those shown.

Placing the speakers

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system.

•The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

•For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 6–9 ft. / 2–3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

•Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

•If possible, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level.
