SETTING UP FOR DOLBY ATMOS

WhileyournewPioneerspeakerswillworkinanystereoor

hometheatersystem,wedesignedthemespeciallyforusein

DolbyAtmosenabledsoundsystems.Atmosisan“immersive

audio”technologydevelopedbyDolbytoaddnewrealism

tomovieandmusicsound.Itaddsadditionalchannelstothe

audiosystemtocreateamoreenvelopingeffect.

Incommercialcinemas,DolbyAtmossystemsuseheightspeakers

mountedontheceiling.However,thisisimpractical

formosthomes,sowithDolby’sguidance,wehaveincorporated

theheightspeakersintothetoppanelsofyourSP-BS22A-LR

speakers.Thesetop-mounteddriversbouncesoundoffyour

ceilingtocreatemoredramaticsurround-soundeffects.Anextra

pairofbindingpostsisprovidedsoyoucanconnectthesespeak-

erstotheseparatechannelsofyourDolbyAtmosenabledreceiver

oramplierthataredesignatedforheighteffects.

TogetthebesteffectfromDolbyAtmos,werecommendusing

apairofSP-BS22A-LRspeakersforthefrontleft/rightspeakers

andanotherpairforthesurroundleft/rightspeakers.Check

yourDolbyAtmosenabledAVReceiverspecicationsfor

supportedDolbyAtmosspeakercongurations.Ifyouprefer,

youcanuseasinglepairofSP-BS22A-LRspeakersforthefront

left/rightchannels,typicallycombinedwithapairofSP-BS22-

LRspeakersforthesurroundleft/rightchannels.

GUIDELINES FOR BEST ATMOS SETUP

InordertousetheDolbyAtmosenabledcapabilityofthese

speakersthelisteningroomceilingshouldhaveahorizontal

athardsurface(foraudioreection)andaheightof8'to14'.

Ifyourroomdoesnotmeettheserequirementsstandard

ceilingorin-ceilingspeakersarerequired.

ThemostimportantpartoftheAtmosspeakersetupismaking

surethatthetop-mountedheightdriverarraysarepositionedat

yourseatedearheightorhigher,butlowerthanhalftheheight

oftheroom,asseenbelow.WhenusingtheSP-BS22A-LR

compactspeakers,youcaneasilyoptimizetheposition

oftheheightchanneldriversbychoosingastandoftheap-

propriateheight.

BASS MANAGEMENT SETTINGS

TheSP-BS22A-LRisdesignedtoreproducesoundsabove

about50Hz.Westronglyrecommendyouuseitwitha

subwoofer.Withoutasubwoofer,youwon’tgetmuchbass

andyoumaydamagetheSP-BS22A-LRswoofersifyouplay

deepbassnotesathighvolume.Itisalsoimportanttouse

asuitablecrossoverthatwilllterdeepbassfrequencies

outoftheSP-BS22A-LR.Usingthecrossoverinsideyour

receiverusuallydeliversthebestresults.

Ifyouhaveasubwoofer,usetheSpeakerSetupmenuinyour

receivertosetthesubwoofertoONorYES,thensetthesize

oftheSP-BS22A-LRtoSMALL.Thisapplieswhetherthe

SP-BS22A-LRisusedforfrontorrearchannels,orboth.If

yourreceiverallowsyoutochoosethesubwoofercrossover

frequency,setitto80Hz.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS

• Donotinstallthisspeakersystemnearastoveorother

heatingappliances,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.

• WhenyouplacetheSP-BS22A-LRatopastand,it’sagood

ideatosecureittothestandwithreusableposteradhesive

orsomethingsimilar.Thiswillhelpkeepthespeaker

fromfallingoffthestandifitisbumpedaccidentally.

 Pioneerwillnotberesponsibleforanyaccidentsor

 damagethatmayresultfromimproperinstallation.

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withsixparts

watertoonepartcleanser,andthenwipeagainwithadry

cloth.Donotusefurniturewaxorcleaners.

• Neverusepaintthinner,benzine,insecticidespraysand

otherchemicalsonornearthecabinets,sincethesewill
