SETTING UP FOR DOLBY ATMOS
The top-mounted, concentric driver used in the SP-T22A-LR
was designed specifically for use in Dolby Atmos enabled
sound systems. It's angled precisely to bounce sound off
your ceiling to create more dramatic surround-sound effects.
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 ceil-
ing or in-ceiling speakers are required.
The most important part of the Atmos speaker setup is making
sure that the top-mounted height driver in each SP-T22A-LR
is positioned at your seated ear height or higher, but lower
than half the height of the room, as seen below. You can
easily optimize the position of the SP-T22A-LR by choosing a
speaker stand of the appropriate height. The main front and
rear surround speakers should be positioned so the tweeters
are approximately at the height of your ears when you're
seated.

BASS MANAGEMENT SETTINGS

The SP-T22A-LR is designed to reproduce sounds above
about 180 Hz. Dolby Atmos receivers and surround-sound
processors include the proper high-pass filtering that will
ensure bass frequencies do not enter the SP-T22A-LR, no
matter what bass management settings you use for the main,
center and surround speakers.
Do not use these speakers with any amplifier that is not filtered
below 180 Hz. Doing so could damage your speakers and
void the warranty.
Check your AV Receiver specifications for supported Dolby Atmos speaker configurations.

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.
• The SP-T22A-LR is designed to sit securely atop the
SP-BS22-LR bookshelf speaker or SP-FS52 tower
speaker. With other speakers, make sure that the
SP-T22A-LR rests stably atop the speaker. Use the
SP-T22A-LR only with speakers that have a flat top.
If it is placed on a speaker with a curved top, the
SP-T22A-LR may fall off. Use the provided rubber feet
to secure the module atop the flat speaker surface.
Pioneer will not be responsible for any accidents or
damage that may result from improper installation.
