Front Surround Setup - Pioneer HTS-GS1 - Surround Sound System Operating Instructions Manual

01 Speaker Setup Guide

Front surround setup

This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker
placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running
long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup
together with the Front Surround modes in page 20 to
take advantage of wall and ceiling reflections for a very
realistic surround effect.

1 Connect the speaker system.
Refer to Connecting up to connect the speakers properly.
After connecting everything, place the speakers as
shown in the diagram (above) for optimal surround
sound.
The base of each surround speaker fits into the circular
groove on the top of the front speakers as shown.
2 Secure the speaker wire.
After testing for the slack necessary to turn the speaker
(see the following step), use the groove provided to
secure the speaker wire as shown. Leave 2 in. (5 cm) of
slack from the speaker terminals so the upper (surround)
speaker can turn freely.

3 Turn the surround speakers towards the closest
wall, lining the arrows up for optimal Front Surround.
Turn each surround speaker so that the
base is lined up with the
the front speaker. This is only necessary with the
FRTMOVIE or FRTMUSIC modes. With EXTPOWER
(Extra Power), line up the
POWER arrow (the surround speakers should be in the
same direction as the front speakers.). See Using Front
Surround on page 20 for more on this.

After placing the speakers, run the Auto MCACC setup
(page 17) to complete your surround sound setup.
Caution
• To prevent accidents, make sure the surround
speaker is placed securely on top of the front
speaker.
• Please don't attach the speakers to the wall or
speaker stands for Front surround setup.
