CAUTION
The POWER switch on this unit will not completely
shut off all power from the AC outlet. Since the
power cord serves as the main disconnect device for
the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet
to shut down all power. Therefore, make sure the
unit has been installed so that the power cord can
be easily unplugged from the AC outlet in case of an
accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should
also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left
unused for a long period of time (for example, when
on vacation).

CONNECTIONS
Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power
and disconnect both this unit and the amplifier/receiver from the
AC outlet.
LINE LEVEL CONNECTION
Rear Panel
Supplied RCA plug cord
This connection is for an amplifier or receiver equipped with a
SUBWOOFER PREOUT terminal. Connect to the LINE LEVEL INPUT
terminal on this unit, using the specially provided RCA plug cord.
NOTE:
• When connected to the PREOUT terminal for surround center
channel on the amplifier or receiver, the bass is heard only on the
center channel, so it will be insufficient.
OPERATION
For details regarding operating part functions, refer to PANEL
FACILITIES above.
1. Turn the POWER switch (2) ON.
• If the unit's power cord is connected to a switched AC outlet on
the amplifier or receiver and the switch is left ON, the unit can be
turned ON/OFF together with the amplifier or receiver.
• If the unit cannot be connected to the amplifier or receiver, turn
the power to the amplifier or receiver ON before turning the power
to the unit ON. When turning the power OFF, turn the power to the
unit OFF before turning the power to the amplifier or receiver OFF.
2. Operate the amplifier or receiver and adjust the volume of the
other speakers.
3. Adjust the volume of the bass with the VOLUME knob (3).
• When necessary, operate the CROSSOVER knob (4) and PHASE
switch (6), and then adjust with the VOLUME knob (3).
4. Turn the POWER switch (2) OFF.
• The power indicator disappears.
IN COMBINATION WITH SPEAKERS
The frequency characteristics of the S-W301/S-W501/S-W601 combined
with small-size speakers are shown below. As shown in these figures,
the low frequency range is improved.
• These special characteristics are obtained in an echoless chamber.
The effect of an additional S-W301/S-W501/S-W601 in an ordinary
listening room is better than the chart indicates when positioned
adequately.

The subwoofer plays back the bass in monaural, making use of the fact
that the human ear is not very sensitive to the direction of low-pitched
sound. Because of this, the subwoofer can be installed almost

NOTES:
• Position the left and right channel speakers at equal distances from
the TV set and approximately 1.8 meters (6 ft.) from each other.
• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of
the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the
points below. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Investigate the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the
trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer to carry
out repair work.

• The rear (surround) speakers are most effective when installed in
parallel locations directly to the side, or slightly behind, the listener,
at a level about 1 meter (3.3 ft.) above the listener's ears.
CAUTION:
When installing the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to
secure it with tape or some other suitable means.
Otherwise, the speaker may fall from the TV due to external shocks
such as earthquakes, and it may lead to endangering those nearby
or damaging the speaker.
Installation Precautions
• Do not attach the subwoofer to the wall or ceiling. They may fall off
and cause injury.
• Install the unit in a well-ventilated location where it will not be

exposed to high temperatures and high humidity.
• Do not place the unit near stoves or other heating equipment or at
locations exposed to direct sunlight, as these can have an adverse
effect on the cabinet and internal components. Also, do not install
the unit where there is too much dust or high humidity, as these can
cause malfunctioning or breakdowns. (Avoid cooking tables and
other locations where the unit would be exposed to heat, steam and
soot.)
• Do not place heavy or large objects on top of the speaker. Doing so
could provoke the speaker to fall, causing damages or bodily injury.
If speakers fall from their installation locations, they may suffer
irreparable cracks in their finish.
• Keep the unit away from devices such as cassette decks which are
sensitive to magnetic fields.

• Do not place cups, glasses, or other containers with fluids on top of
the units, since the units may be damaged if the liquid spills.
• The installation location selected should have a sturdy floor surface.
Mounting the speaker on a long-pile carpet should be avoided, since
the carpet may touch the driver's diaphram, causing distorted
sound.
• Please install this unit away from the antenna cable of the tuner, as
noise can be caused with installation close to the antenna cable. In
such a case, use this unit at a position away from the antenna and
the antenna cable, or when playback of extra bass is not required,
switch off the power for this unit.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit
you've just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how
you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association's Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of
your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that
lets the sound come through loud and clear without
annoying blaring or distortion-and, most importantly,
without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of sound.
So what sounds "normal" can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by
setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your
hearing adapts.
To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound
level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent
hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we
want you listening for a lifetime.
