Preparing the speakers

This unit comes with speaker bases that can be used to adjust the speakers to the design of the room in which they are placed.

Using the supplied speaker bases

Each speaker base

2 Attach the speaker bases.

Place the speaker atop a supplied speaker base, and fix the base in place by using one of the supplied screws.

• The supplied speaker bases come in two different shapes. You can determine the correct base for a speaker by checking if the screw’s location lines up correctly when the speaker is placed atop the base. (There are specific bases for the front/center (L) and surround speaker (R), and for the front/center (R) and surround speaker (L), with two of each type included.)

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 Stage Surround Advance modes in page 32.

Connect the speaker system

Refer to Basic connections on page 12 to connect the speakers properly. After connecting everything, place the speakers as shown in the diagram above for optimal surround sound. After placing the speakers, run the Auto MCACC setup (page 26) to complete your surround sound setup.

• Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.

• When using the Standard surround setup, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level for optimum effect.

• When using the Front surround setup, separate the left and right speakers by about 1.5 m for optimum effect.

Precautions:

• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface, as doing so may cause the speaker to fall and cause damage or bodily injury.

• All speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if a speaker is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this happens, turn the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.

• For safety, make sure that there is no exposed bare speaker wire outside of the speaker terminals.

• Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.

• Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied to this system.

• The speaker system grill cannot be removed. Do not try to forcibly remove it since doing so may damage the grille.

• When cleaning the cabinet, use the provided cleaning cloth. Do not allow alcohol, thinner, benzene, or insecticides to come into contact with the surface, since finish discoloration may occur. Also, when using chemically impregnated cleaning cloths, follow their precautions carefully.

terminal.

For each terminal, press down on the tab to open; insert the wire, then release to secure.

b. Push the FM antenna plug onto the center pin of the FM antenna

socket.

Note

• Keep antenna cables away from other cables, the display unit, receiver subwoofer and Blu-ray disc player.

• If reception with the supplied antenna is poor, see Improving

poor FM reception and Improving poor AM sound on page 34 or Connecting external antennas on page 42.

• Do not attach any antenna other than the provided loop antenna, or an external antenna as described on page 44.

• Don’t let it come into contact with metal objects and avoid placing near computers, television sets or other electrical appliances.

• If radio reception is poor, you may be able improve it by reinserting each antenna wire into the opposite terminal.

• For best reception, do not untwist the AM loop antenna wires or wrap them around the loop antenna.

• To ensure optimum reception, make sure the FM antenna is fully extended and not coiled or hanging at the rear of the unit.

• Connect the wires to the speaker. Each speaker in the illustration can be identified by means of the color-coded indicator provided on the rear-surface model label. Match the color-coded wire with the color indicator on the model label, then insert the color-coded wire into the red (+) side and the other wire into the black (–) side.

Color-coded wire

• Connect the other end to the color-coded speaker terminals on the side of the receiver subwoofer. Make sure to insert completely. Be careful when inserting the speaker plug, as it must be inserted in the proper direction when being plugged into one of the terminals. Please make sure to connect correctly.

Caution

• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.

• Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied to this system.

• Do not connect the supplied speakers to any amplifier other than the one supplied with this system. Connection to any other amplifier may result in malfunction or fire.

• After connecting the plugs, pull lightly on the cables to make sure that the ends of the cables are securely connected to the terminals. Poor connections can create noise and interruptions in the sound.

• If the cables’ wires happen to be pushed out of the terminals, allowing the wires to come into contact with each other, it places an excessive additional load on the amp. This may cause the amp to stop functioning, and may even damage the amp.

Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound

The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, and testing for channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided, the system uses the information from a series of test tones to measure standing wave and reverb, optimizing the speaker settings and equalization (MCACC Effect) for your particular room.

Important

• The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup are loud; however, do not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a sub-optimal setup.

• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the MCACC setup.

Note

• You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you change the placement of your speakers or your room layout).

About HDMI

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) supports both video and audio on a single digital connection for use with DVD players, DTV, set-top boxes, and other AV devices. HDMI was developed to provide the technologies of High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) as well as Digital Visual Interface (DVI) in one specification. HDCP is used to protect digital content transmitted and received by DVI-compliant displays.

HDMI has the capability to support standard, enhanced, or highdefinition video plus standard to multichannel surround-sound audio. HDMI features include uncompressed digital video, a bandwidth of up to 2.2 gigabytes per second (with HDTV signals), one connector (instead of several cables and connectors), and communication between the AV source and AV devices such as DTVs.

Below is a brief description of the main surround sound formats you’ll find on DVDs, satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasts, and video cassettes.

Dolby

The Dolby technologies are explained below. See www.dolby.com for more detailed information.

 Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital audio coding system widely used in cinemas, and in the home for DVD and digital broadcast soundtracks. It can deliver up to six discrete audio channels, comprising five full range channels and a special LFE (low frequency effects) channel used mainly for deep, rumbling sound effects; hence the term “5.1-channel” Dolby Digital.

In addition to the format features above, Dolby Digital decoders offer downmixing for compatibility with mono, stereo and Dolby Pro Logic audio from a number of bit rates and channels. Another feature, called Dialog Normalization, attenuates programs based on the average level of dialog in a program relative to its peak level (also known as Dialnorm) in order to achieve uniform playback level.

 Dolby Pro Logic II and Dolby Surround

Dolby Pro Logic IIx is an improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic II (and Dolby Pro Logic) decoding system. Using the innovative “steering logic” circuit, this system extracts surround sound from sources as follows:

• Dolby Pro Logic – 4.1 channel sound (mono surround) from any

stereo source

• Dolby Pro Logic II – 5.1 channel sound (stereo surround) from any

stereo source

With two channel sources, the “.1” subwoofer channel is generated by bass management in the receiver.

Dolby Surround is an encoding system which embeds surround sound information within a stereo soundtrack, which a Dolby Pro Logic decoder can then use for enhanced surround listening with greater sound detail.

 Dolby Digital Plus

Dolby Digital Plus is the next-generation audio technology for all highdefinition programming and media. It combines the efficiency to meet future broadcast demands with the power and flexibility to realize the full audio potential expected in the upcoming high-definition era. Built on Dolby Digital, the multi-channel audio standard for DVD and HD broadcasts worldwide, Dolby Digital Plus was designed for the nextgeneration A/V receivers but remains fully compatible with all current A/ V receivers.

Dolby Digital Plus delivers multi-channel audio programs of up to 7.1 channels (*) and supports multiple programs in a single encoded bitstream with the maximum bit rate potential of up to 6 Mbps and the maximum bit rate performance of up to 3 Mbps on HD DVD and 1.7

Mbps on Blu-ray Disc, and it outputs Dolby Digital bitstreams for playback on existing Dolby Digital systems. Dolby Digital Plus can accurately reproduce the sound originally intended by directors and producers.

It also features multi-channel sound with discrete channel output, interactive mixing and streaming capability in advanced systems. Supported by High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI), a single-cable digital connection is possible for high-definition audio and video.

 Dolby TrueHD

Dolby TrueHD is the next-generation lossless encoding technology developed for high-definition optical discs in the upcoming era. Dolby TrueHD delivers tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on high-definition optical discs in the next generation. When coupled with high-definition video, theater experience with stunning sound and high-definition picture.

It supports bit rates of up to 18 Mbps and records up to 8 full-range channels (*) individually with 24-bit/96 kHz audio. It also features extensive metadata including dialogue normalization and dynamic range control. Supported by High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI), a single-cable digital connection is possible for high-definition audio and video.

* HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc standards currently limit their maximum

number of audio channels to eight, whereas Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD support more than eight audio channels.

 DTS 96/24

DTS 96/24 is an extension of the original DTS Digital Surround which offers high quality 96 kHz/24-bit audio using a DTS 96/24 decoder. This format is also fully backward compatible with all existing decoders. This means that DVD players can play this software using a conventional DTS

5.1 channel decoder.

 DTS-EXPRESS

DTS-EXPRESS is a low-bitrate encoding technology supporting up to 5.1 channels with fixed data transfer rates. This format is incorporated with sub audio on HD DVD and secondary audio on Blu-ray Disc while boasting the potential applicability to upcoming broadcasts and memory audio contents.

 DTS-HD Master Audio

DTS-HD Master Audio is a technology that delivers master audio sources recorded in a professional studio to listeners without any loss of data, preserving audio quality. DTS-HD Master Audio adopts variable data transfer rates, facilitating data transfer to the maximum rate of 24.5 Mbps in the Blu-ray disc format, 18.0 Mbps in the HD-DVD format, which by far exceeds that of a standard DVD. These high data transfer rates enable lossless transmission of 96 kHz/24-bit 7.1-channel audio sources without deteriorating the quality of the original sound. DTS-HD Master Audio is an irreplaceable technology that can reproduce sound faithfully as intended by the creator of music or movies.

DTS

The DTS technologies are explained below. See www.dtstech.com for more detailed information.

 DTS Digital Surround

DTS Digital Surround is a 5.1-channel audio coding system from DTS Inc. now widely used for DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, 5.1 music discs, digital broadcasts, and video games. It can deliver up to six discrete audio channels, comprising five full range channels, including an LFE channel. Higher sound quality is achieved through the use of a low compression rate, and high rates of transmittance during playback.

 DTS-ES

DTS-ES (the ES stands for Extended Surround) is a decoder that is capable of decoding both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 gives ‘true’ 6.1 channel sound, with a completely separate (discrete) surround back channel. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 has a surround back channel matrixed into the surround left/ right channels. Both sources are also compatible with a conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder.

 DTS Neo:6

DTS Neo:6 can generate 6.1 channel surround sound from any matrixed stereo source (such as video or TV) and from 5.1 channel sources. It uses both the channel information already encoded into the source, as well as its own processing to determine channel localization (with two channel sources, the “.1” subwoofer channel is generated by bass management in the receiver). Two modes (Cinema and Music) are available using DTS Neo:6 with two channel sources.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below.

 About HDCP

HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is a copyright protection system by which digital video signals are encrypted.

 When connected to a DVI device

• It is not possible to connect DVI devices (computer displays, for example) that are not compatible with HDCP.

• No audio signals are output. Connect using an audio cable (included), etc.

• This player is designed for connection with HDMI-compatible devices. When connected to a DVI device, it may not operate properly depending on the DVI device.

 About HDMI Control function

• When the player is connected to a Pioneer Flat Screen TV or this receiver subwoofer, supporting the HDMI Control function, it can be operated from the Flat Screen TV or this receiver subwoofer.

• The Flat Screen TV’s input is switched automatically when playback is started on the player or the Home Menu or the Home Media Gallery is displayed. When the input is switched, the playback picture, the Home Menu or the Home Media Gallery appears on the Flat Screen TV (Auto-select function). If the Flat Screen TV’s power is being turned off at this time, it may turn on automatically (Simultaneous power function). When the language information from a connected Flat Screen TV is received, you can have the player’s on-screen display language change automatically to that of the Flat Screen TV (Unified language function). This function is available only when playback is stopped and the menu screen is not displayed.

• Also refer to the operating instructions of the Flat Screen TV, etc.

 To use the HDMI Control function

• The HDMI Control function operates when HDMI Control is set to On for all devices connected with HDMI cables. Once connections and the settings of all the devices are finished, be sure to check that the player’s picture is output to the Flat Screen TV. (Also check after changing the connected devices and reconnecting HDMI cables.) The HDMI Control function may not operate properly if the player’s picture is not properly output to the Flat Screen TV.

• Use High Speed HDMI™ cables when using the HDMI Control function. The HDMI Control function may not operate properly if other HDMI cables are used.

 About PQLS function

The PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a transfer control technology using the HDMI Control function. The player’s output signals are controlled from the AV receiver or amplifier to achieve high quality sound playback using the quartz oscillator of AV receiver or amplifier. This eliminates the influence of the jitter generated upon transfer which can adversely affect the sound quality.

• The PQLS function is only activated when the player is connected to a Pioneer AV receiver or amplifier compatible with the PQLS function via HDMI connection.

• The PQLS function is only activated when playing a music CD (CD-DA).

• The PQLS function is activated when the player is set as follows (page 83):
