D3-4-2-2-1a_A1_En
CAUTION
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.

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:
1Achieving the highest possible sound quality
2Allowing for customized acoustic calibration according to any listening area
3Fine-tuning the receiver with the help of world-
class studio engineers1
1 With the cooperation of AIR Studios, this receiver has been designated AIR Studios Monitor:
Features
•Direct Energy HD Amplifier
Through a collaboration, Pioneer and ICEpower have jointly development a unique class D amplifier called a “Direct Energy High Fidelity Class D (HD) amplifier”. This new generation reference amplifier offers outstanding performance (high output of 770 W (SC-LX82)/700 W (SC-LX72) simultaneous) with high sound quality and reproduces the latest in multi-channel digital contents.
•Easy setup using Advanced MCACC
The Auto MCACC Setup provides a quick but accurate surround sound setup, which includes the advanced features of Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ. This innovative technology measures the reverb characteristics of your listening area, allowing you to customize your system calibration with the help of a graphical output that can be displayed on-screen or using computer. With the additional benefits of numerous MCACC preset memories, standing wave control and microphone measurements from a series of reference points, your home theater experience can be truly customized for optimal surround sound.
•THX certified design (In case of SC-LX82)
This receiver bears the THX Ultra2 Plus logo, which means it has passed a rigorous series of quality and performance tests covering every aspect of the product. This includes testing of pre-amplifier and power amplifier

performance and operation, and hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain, making your home theater experience as faithful as possible to what the director intended.
•THX certified design (In case of SC-LX72)
This receiver bears the THX Select2 Plus logo, which means it has passed a rigorous series of quality and performance tests covering every aspect of the product. This includes testing of pre-amplifier and power amplifier performance and operation, and hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain, making your home theater experience as faithful as possible to what the director intended.
• Dolby Digital and DTS decoding, including Dolby Digital EX, Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS 96/24, DTS-ES, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-EXPRESS and DTS-HD Master Audio
Dolby Digital and DTS decoding brings theater sound right into your home with up to six channels of surround sound, including a special LFE (Low Frequency Effects) channel for deep, realistic sound effects.
The built-in Dolby Pro Logic IIx and DTS Neo:6 decoders not only provide full surround sound decoding for Dolby Surround sources, but will also generate convincing surround sound for any stereo source.
Also, with the addition of a surround back speaker, you can take advantage of the built-in Dolby Digital EX and DTS-ES decoders for six-channel surround sound.
Furthermore, Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD, which are designed for the next-generation highdefinition media such as Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD, support up to 7.1 channels and 8 channels respectively.
DTS-EXPRESS is a low-bitrate encoding technology supporting up to 5.1 channels, with fixed data transfer rates ranging from 24 kbps to 256 kbps (this encoding is available only when signals are delivered to this receiver as primary audio).
DTS-HD Master Audio delivers audio signals to listeners without any loss of data with its high transfer rates.
•Phase Control
The Phase Control technology incorporated into this receiver’s design provides coherent sound reproduction through the use of phase matching for an optimal sound image at your listening position.
•Full Band Phase Control
The Full Band Phase Control feature analyzes the frequency-phase characteristics of the speakers connected and corrects the phase distortion to the flattened frequency-phase characteristics. This
En

01 |
correction minimizes the group delay of the middleand low-frequency ranges against the high-frequency range and improves the frequency-phase characteristics across all ranges. Furthermore, the enhanced frequencyphase characteristics between channels ensure better surround sound integration.
•Sound Retriever
The Sound Retriever feature employs DSP technology to restore sound pressure and smooth jagged artifacts left over after compression. This helps bring CD quality sound back to WMA and MP3 audio files and achieves a richer sense of presence when playing Dolby Digital, DTS or WMA 9 Pro audio formats recorded in multiple channels on DVDs and other discs.
•HOME MEDIA GALLERY
This receiver can play back contents stored on your computer when your computer is connected to the LAN terminal of this receiver. Also, you can listen to the Internet radio stations.
•Front Stage Surround Advance
With the Front Stage Surround Advance feature, you can enjoy seamless, natural surround sound effects using only the front speakers, without deteriorating the quality of the original sound.
•Auto Level Control
When the source is played in Auto level control mode (ALC), this receiver automatically equalizes the playback sound level according to the variation in recording levels.
•Optimum Surround
All movie creators do their best to express movie’s story and use sounds 50 % to achieve it. They assume that the finally mixed sounds should be best sound balance at movie theaters that can perform a big sound. However, in many cases, such a big sound is actually too much for customer’s Home Theater environment, smaller volume is normally used.
In such case, there is possibility that the sound balance is changed/depressed compared to movie theaters. The volume is smaller, the possibility is higher. In short, smaller volume can NOT tell us stories properly as the same as creator’s intention. “Optimum Surround” is a new Pioneer’s surround sound technology that has been newly developed to solve this problem.
Throughout this development, Pioneer has been struggling to consider how we should provide creator’s intention properly with home theater’s sound. And Pioneer has found an answer = “Optimum Surround” led by two activities as follows. One of them is to know creator’s thought and feelings to communicate with actual creators, and another is to invent some new sound tuning technologies based on Pioneer’s historical technologies.
•HDMI and digital video conversion
This receiver is compatible with the HDMI digital video format, providing you with high-definition digital video/ audio via a single cable.
High-quality sound formats such as DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD are supported while this receiver is also compatible with the Deep Color and x.v.Color feature. You can operate this receiver in synchronization with your Pioneer component that supports the KURO LINK function by connecting your component to this receiver via HDMI. Also, the built-in digital video converter of this receiver makes both de-interlacing and up-scaling possible, and analog video signals being input are converted and output as digital video signals at the HDMI terminal.
•iPod/iPhone and USB Ready
This receiver has the terminals for connecting an iPod/ iPhone unit and a USB mass storage device.
The iPod terminal is ready for handling digital audio and video, and this receiver’s enhanced compatibility makes on-screen control of your iPod an added possibility.
The USB terminal allows you to listen to two-channel audio from a USB mass storage device connected to this receiver.

Determining the speakers’ application
Surround sound with a strong sense of presence can be enjoyed by connecting 7 speakers and 1 subwoofer. It is also possible to achieve high sound quality using bi-amp connections and to enjoy music in other rooms using the MULTI-ZONE feature. High sound quality can be achieved with a minimum of two speakers.
•Be sure to connect speakers to the front left and right channels ( L and R ).
•The Surr Back System setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown below other than [1] (see Selecting the Surr Back system on page 26).
[1] 7.1ch surround connection (Simple connection & Best surround)
*Default setting
These connections prioritize surround sound with a speaker layout like that in a movie theater.
•Surr Back System setting: Normal (default)
•If you have six speakers, either only connect one surround back speaker (6.1 ch surround), or connect for the 7.1-channel setting as shown on the diagram below but without the center speaker.

Other speaker connection
•Your favorite speaker connections can be selected even if you have fewer than 5.1 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 Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
See Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC & Full Band Phase Control) on page 45.

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 124 to make the settings that will give you the best sound experience when using the Home THX modes (page 60).
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 apart, at equal distance from the 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 higher than your ears and tilted slight 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.
•If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 64).
•Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

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.
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.
•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
1Twist exposed wire strands together. (fig. A)
2Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire. (fig. B)
3Tighten terminal. (fig. C)
fig. A |
fig. B |
fig. C |
10 mm
Important
•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.
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.

03 Connecting your equipment
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).

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.
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.
Bi-wiring your speakers
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support biamping.
•With these connections, the Surr Back System setting makes no difference.
•To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver.
CAUTION
•Don’t connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way.
•When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for biamping shown at the left.

About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video sources are output through all of the MONITOR OUT jacks. The only exception is HDMI: since this resolution cannot be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI video outputs when connecting this video source.1
If several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Setup menu on page 47), the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, S-Video, then composite (in that order).

•If you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver, connect the receiver and TV with audio cables.
•Component video should give superior picture quality when compared to composite or S-Video. You can also take advantage of progressive scan video (if your source and TV are both compatible), which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.
•If your DVD player offers multi-channel analog audio outputs, see Connecting the multichannel analog inputs on page 33.

Connecting your TV with no HDMI input
This diagram shows connections of a TV (with no HDMI input) and DVD player (or other playback component) to the receiver.
•With these connections, the picture is not output to the TV even if the DVD player is connected with an HDMI cable. Connect the DVD player’s video signals using a composite, S-VIDEO or component cord.

•Connect using an HDMI cable to listen to HD audio on the receiver. Do not use an HDMI cable to input video signals.
Depending on the video component, it may not be possible to output signals connected by HDMI and other methods simultaneously, and it may be necessary to make output settings. Please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your component for more information.
•Component video should give superior picture quality when compared to composite or S-Video. You can also take advantage of progressive scan video (if your source and TV are both compatible), which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.
•If your DVD player has multichannel analog outputs, you can connect these instead. See also see
