SETTING UP FOR DOLBY ATMOS
®
While your new Pioneer
®
Elite
®
speakers will work in any stereo
or home theater system, we designed them especially for use in
Dolby Atmos surround 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. Now with Dolby Atmos
for the home, there exists a choice of mounting speakers in
the ceiling, or integrated into the top panels of the speakers.
These top mounted driver arrays incorporated into the
SP-EFS73 and SP-EBS73-LR, bounce sound off your ceiling
to create dramatic surround-sound effects.
You can use the top-mounted arrays in the front left/right
channels only, or for best effect, in the front left/right and
rear 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 reection) and
a height of 8' to 14'. If your room does not meet these
requirements standard ceiling or in-ceiling speakers
are required. For the best possible audio experience,
Pioneer recommends removing the grilles. Please visit
www.pioneerelectronics.com/elitespeakers for more
details. 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.
If you are using the SP-EBS73-LR bookshelf speaker, you
can easily optimize the position of the height channel drivers
by choosing a stand of the appropriate height. Once your
SP-EFS73 or SP-EBS73-LR speakers have been attached
to a Dolby Atmos
®
enabled receiver, follow the included
instructions to ensure the most optimal setting for you to
enjoy your Dolby Atmos encoded content.
BASS MANAGEMENT SETTINGS
If you are using an A/V receiver or surround sound processor
with your speakers, you will need to set the bass management
appropriately, particularly with the SP-EBS73-LR bookshelf
speaker. The SP-EFS73 oorstanding speaker should be set
to LARGE in the receiver’s menu, and the SP-EBS73 should
be set to SMALL. This setting will ensure that no deep bass
signals get into the SP-EBS73-LR. If your receiver or processor
lets you set the crossover frequency for the SP-EBS73-LR,
we recommend 80 Hz.
We have also included a foam plug for the SP-EFS73
oorstanding speakers. This foam plug will allow you to
tailor the bass response to your particular environment.
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-EFS73 and SP-EBS73-LR are
quite heavy, so it is dangerous to install them in high
places such as on walls or pillars or in other unstable
locations unless suitably secured in place.
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
corrode the surfaces
