Connecting Your System - Pioneer S-FCRW4500 Operating Manual

After connecting the speaker wires to the surround speakers, use
the groove provided to secure the speaker wire as shown at left.
Leave 10cm of slack from the speaker terminals so the upper
(surround) speaker can turn freely.
When you're finished, thread the surround speaker cords through
the outlet on the base of the speaker stand as above.
To keep the stand steady when upright, tuck the
speaker cords into the grooves on the bottom as
shown below.
3. Turn the surround speakers 50° towards the closest wall.
The speaker will stop turning at about a 50º angle. This is only
necessary with the Front Surround modes (leave them facing
forward with 5ch STEREO). See the operating instructions for
more on the Front Surround modes.

Caution
To prevent accidents when in use, make sure the surround speaker is
secure by turning it so the arrow at the base of the speaker is not in
the UNLOCK AREA.
With the 3-spot setup, it is recommended that you fix the surround
speakers in place with the adhesive strips provided when in use.
