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 amplifier 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 specifications for
supported Dolby Atmos speaker configurations. 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
flat hard surface (for audio reflection) 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.
Check your AV Receiver specifications for supported Dolby Atmos speaker configurations.

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 filter 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
corrode the surfaces.
