The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level – a level that lets the sound come through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Our philosophy
Pioneer is dedicated to making your home theater listening experience as close as possible to the vision of the moviemakers and mastering engineer when they created the original soundtrack. We do this by focusing on three important steps:
1 Achieving the highest possible sound quality
2 Allowing for customized acoustic calibration according to any listening area
3 Fine-tuning the receiver with the help of world-class studio engineers
With the cooperation of AIR Studios, this receiver has been designated AIR Studios Monitor:
Features
% Class D Amplifier
This unit is an AV receiver developed based on the latest high performance Class D amplifier and integrating the essence of Pioneer’s high sound quality designs. This new generation reference amplifier offers outstanding performance with high sound quality and reproduces the latest in multi-channel digital contents.
% ESS-DAC-equipped
All channels are equipped with ESS SABRE 32 Ultra Audio DACs. The Jitter Eliminators achieve clearer sound.
% AIR Studios Sound Tuning
The SC-79 and SC-77 have received the AIR Studios Monitor certification. Pioneer has a proven track record of applying its audio expertise to the creation of multi-channel sound environments. Established in 1969 in London, AIR Studios is now an acclaimed recording complex, favoured by many of the world’s most popular and renowned musical talents.
% THX Ultra 2 Plus
THX Ultra2 Plus is the highest level THX certification, featuring THX Loudness Plus technology, designed to main­tain the impact and integrity of audio content even when played at lower volume settings. THX Ultra2 Plus helps to deliver sound just as it was mixed in the studio, regardless of volume level.
% Audio Scaler
The combined effect of Hi-bit 32 Audio Processing, the digital filter and the up-sampling function can be used to convert the signals of music files or CDs to up to 192 kHz/32 bits to achieve even clearer sound with higher definition.
% Hi-Bit 32 Audio Processing
Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like CDs, DVDs or BDs. 16-, 20- and 24-bit PCM as well as compressed audio is requantized to 32 bits, and the high frequency component is interpolated upon data pro­cessing to enable smoother, more subtle musical expression.
% Auto Phase Control Plus
For discs created with standards other than Phase Control, the LFE channel is delayed upon recording in the first place. This function automatically corrects for phase shifting on such discs and broadcast. This function is particularly effective when playing multi-channel music containing low frequency effects (LFE).
% Full Band Phase Control (compatible with FRONT ALIGN)
The further advanced Full Band Phase Control technology focuses on the group delay in the speaker network filter, and compensates with special digital signal processing (DSP), to adjust the phase of each unit as well as the group delay for each speaker. Full Band Phase Control gives multi-range speakers the sound coherence of full-range speakers, while retaining the wide frequency range advantage. This is compatible with the FRONT ALIGN function for matching the characteristics of the speakers other than the front speakers with those of the front speakers.
% PQLS Bit-stream
Jitterless high quality playback is possible by connecting a PQLS-compatible player with HDMI connections. This feature is only available when the connected Pioneer Blu-ray Disc Player supporting the PQLS function.
% dts Neo:X compatible

% Various Speaker Channel Assign
With this receiver, 12 types of speaker systems, including bi-amp connections, can be assigned to achieve the optimum speaker system for the user’s home theater environment and the speakers the user owns.
% Multi-Zone Music
All the speakers connected to this receiver in the main zone and all the sub zones can be played at once to enjoy music contents.
% HDMI (3D, Audio Return Channel)
- SC-79: 9in/4out (Dual out + HDBaseT and HDZONE out)
- SC-77: 9in/3out (Dual out + HDZONE out)
A compatible component is required to use the above function.
% Ultra HD (with 4K video support) – Pass-through and upscaling –
4K resolution images can be passed through and displayed as such, and the Hi-Vision or Full Hi-Vision images of DVDs, Blu-ray discs and HD broadcasts can be upscaled to a resolution of up to 4K and displayed. A separate monitor supporting Ultra HD (4K video) is required.
% HDBaseTTM output terminal
SC-79 only The SC-79 is equipped with HDBaseT output terminals supporting 4K/3D/Full-HD video and multi-channel audio. The HDMI video output signals are converted for LAN cable transmission, so they can be output to sub-zone rooms up to 100 meters away.

Determining the speakers’ application
This unit is equipped with speaker terminals for 11 channels, allowing users to select a variety of speaker layouts/ usage patterns according to their tastes. The terminals to which the speakers should be connected differ accord­ing to the speaker layout/usage pattern. Select one speaker layout/usage pattern before connecting the speakers. For instructions on connections, see Installing your speaker system on page 25. However, the 5.1ch + ZONE 2+3 and Multi-ZONE Music settings can be used separately according to the situa­tion. Normally set this to 5.1ch + ZONE 2+3 and use this for multi-zone/multi-source playback, and when using the system for home parties for example, set this to Multi-ZONE Music to associate all zones with the main zone.
! Be sure to connect speakers to the front left and right channels (L and R). ! It is also possible to only connect one of the surround back speakers (SB) or neither. ! If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2 terminal.
Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.
Important
! The Speaker System setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown below other than [A] (see
Speaker system setting on page 101).
! The speakers from which sound is output can be switched according to the speaker layout/usage pattern
(sound is not necessarily output from all connected speakers). Use the SPEAKERS button to switch the speak­ers from which sound is output. For details, see Switching the speaker terminals on page 81.

Other speaker connections
! Your favorite speaker connections can be selected even if you have fewer than 5.2 speakers (except front left/
right speakers).
! When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the front
channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency component is played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be damaged.)
! After connecting, be sure to conduct the Full Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure. See
Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 47.
Placing the speakers
Refer to the chart below for placement of the speakers you intend to connect.
2SW 1
FHL
FWL
SL
! Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t
use the front height speakers / front wide speakers, we recommend placing the surround speaker right beside you.
! If you intend to connect only one surround back speaker, place it directly behind you. ! Place the left and right front height speakers at least one meter (3.3 ft.) directly above the left and right front
speakers.
THX speaker system setup
If you are using a THX certified subwoofer, use the THX INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your subwoofer has one) or switch the filter position to THX on your subwoofer. See also THX Audio Setting on page 103 to make the settings that will give you the best sound experience when using the Home THX modes (page 62).
Some tips for improving sound quality
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidelines should help you to get the best sound from your system. ! The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re
listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.
! For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from the TV. ! If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a suffi-
cient distance from your CRT TV.
! If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower
angle.
! Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV
screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers.
! It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the size of the room. Use
less of an angle for bigger rooms.
! Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) higher than your
ears and tilted slightly downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for home theater playback.
! Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speak-
ers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

Connecting your equipment
Connecting the speakers
Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a positive (+) and negative (–) terminal. Make sure to match these up with the terminals on the speakers themselves. This unit supports speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 W to 16 W.
CAUTION
! These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when con-
necting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord before touching any uninsulated parts.
! Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any
of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Bare wire connections
CAUTION
Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
1 Twist exposed wire strands together.
2 Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.
3 Tighten terminal.
123
10 mm (3/8 in.)
Banana plug connections
If you want to use speaker cables terminated with banana plugs, screw the speaker terminal fully shut, then plug the banana plug into the end of the speaker terminal.
Bi-amping your speakers
Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver and low frequency driver of your speakers to different amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate termi­nals for high and low) and the sound improvement will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.

Note
! Please refer to the manual that came with your speakers for details on how to connect the other end of the
speaker cables to your speakers.
! Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer. It is not possible to connect using speaker cables. ! If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2 terminal.
Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.

SPEAKERS
CAUTION
! Most speakers with both High and Low terminals have two metal plates that connect the High to the Low
terminals. These must be removed when you are bi-amping the speakers or you could severely damage the amplifier. See your speaker manual for more information.
! If your speakers have a removable crossover network, make sure you do not remove it for bi-amping. Doing so
may damage your speakers.

Connecting your equipment
Bi-wiring your speakers
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support bi-amping. ! With these connections, the Speaker System setting makes no difference.
CAUTION
! Don’t connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way. ! When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for bi-amping shown above.
% To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver.
Using a banana plug for the second connection is recommended.
Installing your speaker system
At the very least, front left and right speakers only are necessary. Note that your main surround speakers should always be connected as a pair, but you can connect just one surround back speaker if you like (it must be con­nected to the left surround back terminal).
[A] 9.2 channel surround system (Front height/Front wide) connection
! If necessary, select ‘9.1ch FH/FW’ from the Speaker System menu. See Speaker system setting on page 101 to do this. ! When only connecting one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals.
