User manual PIONEER F-Z91L

[. . . ] 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). [. . . ] Private households in the member states of the EU, in Switzerland and Norway may return their used electronic products free of charge to designated collection facilities or to a retailer (if you purchase a similar new one). For countries not mentioned above, please contact your local authorities for the correct method of disposal. By doing so you will ensure that your disposed product undergoes the necessary treatment, recovery and recycling and thus prevent potential negative effects on the environment and human health. With playback of Dolby* Digital, establishment of a special channel for the subwoofer is recommended; and with playback of LFE (Low Frequency Effect: sound effect like the rumbling of the earth, whose purpose is to intensify the force of the video), the F-Z91L is especially effective. 1 Left speaker 2 Right speaker 3 Recommended installation range for the subwoofer 4 Listening position 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. If it is installed too far away, however, the sound from the other speakers may become unnatural. The frequency characteristics of the F-Z91L combined with small-size speakers are shown below. The effect of an additional F-Z91L in an ordinary listening room is better than the chart indicates when positioned adequately. Front left speaker Center speaker Front right speaker Subwoofer Listening area Rear left speaker Rear right speaker Keep the unit away from devices such as cassette decks which are sensitive to magnetic fields. The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and so should not be placed near a CRTbased TV or color monitor. Magnetic storage media (such as floppy discs and tape or video cassettes) should also not be kept close to the subwoofer. There may be cases where a connected component outputs noise or some other non-audio signal which causes this system to automatically power on when in Auto Standby mode. If this happens, switch off the Auto Standby mode and switch the system on/off manually. But when the sound connection between the subwoofer and the left and right speakers sounds unnatural, try switching to 180° and set the switch in the position where the sound is natural. 6 Line Level Output terminal (LINE OUT) Used for connecting other equipment through the amplifier. The signal output from this jack is not affected in any way by the settings of the variouscontrols on the unit. 1 Power Indicator (STANDBY/ON) Lights blue when the power has been switched ON. nOTE: · The power is still supplied even when the power indicator is off. The power plug (interrupter) must be unplugged in order to completely cut the power supply. When not using this product for long periods of time, such as when traveling, unplug the power cord (interrupter) from the power outlet for safety purposes. With this unit, the bass level can be independently set, so do not turn up the bass on the AV amplifier. Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and disconnect both this unit and the amplifier/receiver from the AC outlet.
