Features
•Advanced Direct Energy design
This receiver offers a new advancement in discrete design unique to Pioneer for high-power drivability, low distortion and stable imaging. Through symmetrical placement of power amplification units, this receiver generates equal amplifier power to all channels, eliminating the possibility of one channel dominating a particular sound field.
•Easy setup using Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC)
Setting up for home theater sound is as easy as connecting your speakers, a DVD player or other source, and your TV. The Auto Surround Setup provides a quick but accurate surround sound setup, while for complete surround sound control you still have access to the full range of surround sound settings.
•THX Select2 certified design
This receiver bears the THX Select2 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 and DTS-ES
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.
•Phase correction
Based on Pioneer’s unique Phase Control Technology, the Basic Phase Control feature 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.
•Sound Retriever
The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to WMA, MP3 and MPEG-4 AAC audio files by restoring sound pressure and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.
•HDMI compatibility
This receiver is compatible with the HDMI digital video format, providing you high-definition digital video and digital audio via a single cable.
•Built-in video converter
The built-in video converter provides output of all analog video signals to your TV or monitor (regardless of the type of connection), allowing you to connect components using component, S-video, and composite video connections as you like.
•XM Ready
With the new XM Radio terminal, you’ll be up and running in no time, now that this receiver’s enhanced compatibility makes XM HD Surround playback and onscreen control of XM Radio an added possibility.
•Easy-to-use LCD remote control
The remote control gives you not only complete control over every function of this receiver, but also over the main functions for other components in your home theater system. Using a system of preset codes, you can program the remote to operate a wide range of other equipment.

Introduction to home theater
Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like you're in the middle of the action or concert. The surround sound you get from a home theater system depends not only on your speaker setup, but also on the source and the sound settings of the receiver.
This receiver will automatically decode multichannel Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround sources according to your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to make changes for realistic surround sound, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound) are explained in Listening to your system on page 26.
Listening to Surround Sound
This receiver was designed with the easiest possible setup in mind, so with the following quick setup guide, you should have your system hooked up for surround sound in no time at all. In most cases, you can simply leave the receiver in the default settings.
•Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to an AC power source.
1 Connect your TV and DVD player.
See Connecting your TV and DVD player on page 13 to do this. For surround sound, you’ll want to hook up using a digital connection from the DVD player to the receiver.
2 Connect your speakers and place them for optimal surround sound.
Connect your speakers as shown in Installing your speaker system on page 17.
Where you place the speakers will have a big effect on the sound. Place your speakers as shown below for the best surround sound effect. Also see Placing the speakers on page 18 for more on this.

3Plug in the receiver and switch it on, followed by your DVD player, your subwoofer and the TV.
Make sure you’ve set the video input on your TV to this receiver. Check the manual that came with the TV if you don’t know how to do this.
•Set the subwoofer volume to a comfortable level.
4Use the on-screen automatic MCACC setup to set up your system.
See Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) below for more on this.
5Play a DVD, and adjust the volume to your liking.
Make sure that DVD/LD is showing in the receiver’s display, indicating that the DVD input is selected. If it isn’t, press DVD on the remote control to set the receiver to the DVD input.
In addition to the basic playback explained in Playing a source on page 10, there are several other sound options you can select. See Listening to your system on page 26 for more on this.
See also Making receiver settings from the System Setup menu on page 33 for more setup options.
Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)
The Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided with your system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your particular room.
Make sure you do this before moving on to Playing a source on page 10.
Important
•Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the Auto MCACC Setup.
•Before using the Auto MCACC Setup the headphones should be disconnected.
Caution
•The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.

6Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you’re using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to a comfortable volume level.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs more test tones to determine the optimum receiver settings for channel level, speaker distance, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 8 minutes.
9 The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Select ‘SKIP’ to go back to the System Setup menu.
The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using the
System Setup menu (starting on page 33).6
Note
1• If you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup, or leave an error message for over three minutes, the screen saver will appear.
•The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the HDMI output to your TV. Use component, S-video, or composite connections for system setup.
2You can’t use the System Setup menu when the XM Radio input source is selected.
3• If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through Surround back speaker setting on page 33 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary before continuing to step 6.
•If you have THX-certified speakers, make sure YES is selected in THX Speaker Setup on page 39.
4Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.
5If you’re using the front panel display, the diagram in Listening to Surround Sound above indicates (in bold) how each speaker is displayed.
6• Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 5 inches will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 37.
•The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.

Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup
If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC Setup (too much background noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) the final settings may be incorrect. Check for household appliances (air conditioner, fridge, fan, etc.), that may be affecting the environment and switch them off if necessary. If there are any instructions showing in the front panel display, please follow them.
•Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV when doing the Auto MCACC Setup.

1 Switch on your system components and receiver.
Start by switching on the playback component (for
example a DVD player), your TV1 and subwoofer (if you have one), then the receiver (press RECEIVER).
• Make sure the setup mic is disconnected.
2 Select the input source you want to play.
You can use the input source buttons on the remote control, INPUT SELECT, or the front panel controls.2
3 Press AUTO SURR to select ‘AUTO SURROUND’ and
start playback of the source.3
If you’re playing a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound DVD disc, you should hear surround sound. If you are playing a stereo source, you will only hear sound from the front left/right speakers in the default listening mode.
•See also Listening to your system on page 26 for information on different ways of listening to sources.
Better sound using Basic Phase Control
This receiver’s Basic Phase Control feature uses phase correction measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/or coloring of the sound (see illustration below).

• Press RECEIVER then PHASE (PHASE CONTROL) to switch on phase correction.
The PHASE CONTROL indicator on the front panel lights.
4 Use the volume control to adjust the volume level.
Turn down the volume of your TV so that all sound is coming from the speakers connected to this receiver.
Note
1Make sure that the TV’s video input is set to this receiver. (For example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO 1 jacks on your TV, make sure that the VIDEO 1 input is now selected.)
2If you need to manually switch the input signal type press SIGNAL SEL (page 29).
3• You may need to check the digital audio output settings on your DVD player or digital satellite receiver. It should be set to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2 kHz / 96 kHz PCM (2 channel) audio, and if there is an MPEG audio option, set this to convert the MPEG audio to PCM.
•Depending on your DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this case, the receiver must be set to a multichannel listening mode (see Listening in surround sound on page 26 if you need to do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.
4Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are 'in phase', they crest and trough together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough (as shown in the upper section of the diagram above) then the sound will be 'out of phase' and an unreliable sound image will be produced.

About the video converter
When the video converter is enabled, all analog video sources are output through all of the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks (HDMI and high-definition progressive
component video cannot be converted).1 See Video Converter Setup on page 48 to switch the video converter on or off.
If several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Assign menu on page 46), the converter gives priority to component, S-video, then composite (in that order).
•For optimal video performance, THX recommends switching video conversion (in Video Converter Setup on page 48) OFF.

When making cable connections
•To avoid hum, do not lay connected cables over the top of the receiver.
•When connecting optical cables, be careful when inserting the plug not to damage the shutter protecting the optical socket.
•When storing optical cable, coil loosely. The cable may be damaged if bent around sharp corners.
Note
1 You must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI/component video outputs when connecting these video sources. If the video signal does not appear on your TV or plasma display, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, use an (analog) S-video or composite connection.

2If the device can record, connect the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO outputs to the recorder’s audio/ video inputs.
Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the video connection.
•For a second recorder, use the DVR/VCR2 outputs.
3If the device can output digital audio, connect an
optical-type3 digital audio output from the recorder to the OPTICAL 1 (DVR/VCR1) input.
Use an optical cable for the connection.4
•For a second recorder, use the COAXIAL 2 (DVR/ VCR2) inputs.
Using the component video jacks
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.
1 Connect the audio/video outputs of the video player/recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO inputs.
Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the audio connection and a video or S-video cable for the video connection.
• For a second recorder, use the DVR/VCR2 IN inputs.
Note
1If your set-top box only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver using a coaxial digital audio cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the set-top box to (see The Input Assign menu on page 46).
2If your satellite/cable receiver doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.
3• In order to record, you must connect the analog audio cables (the digital connection is for playback only).
•If your video component doesn’t have a digital audio output, you can skip this step.
4If your recorder only has a coaxial digital output, you can connect it to one of the coaxial inputs on this receiver using a coaxial digital audio cable. When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the recorder to (see also The Input Assign menu on page 46).

About the WMA9 Pro decoder
This unit has an on-board Windows Media® Audio 9
Professional1 (WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using a coaxial or optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9 Pro-compatible player. However, the connected PC, DVD player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital output.
Connecting a component to the front panel inputs
The front panel inputs comprise a composite video jack (VIDEO), an S-Video jack (S-VIDEO), stereo analog audio inputs (AUDIO L/R) and an optical digital audio input (DIGITAL). You can use these connections for any kind of audio/video component, but they are especially convenient for portable equipment such as camcorders, video games and portable audio/video equipment.
Connecting analog audio sources
This receiver features two stereo audio-only inputs. One of these inputs (CD-R/TAPE/MD) has corresponding outputs for use with audio recorders.

Installing your speaker system
To take full advantage of the receiver’s surround sound capabilities connect front, center, surround and surround back speakers, as well as a subwoofer. Although this is ideal, other configurations with fewer speakers—no subwoofer or no center speaker, or even no surround speakers—will work. At the very least, front left and right speakers only are necessary. Note that your
Subwoofer |

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). You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6 Ω to 16 Ω (please see
Switching the speaker impedance on page 50 if you plan to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8 Ω).

03 Connecting your equipment
Bare wire connections
Make sure that the speaker cable you’re going to use is
properly prepared with about 3/8 in. of insulator stripped from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted together (fig. A).
To connect a terminal, unscrew the terminal a few turns until there is enough space to insert the exposed wire (fig. B). Once the wire is in position, tighten the terminal until the wire is firmly clamped (fig. C).
fig. A |
fig. B |
fig. C |
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.
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.
•Other connections on page 40 provides greater detail on alternate speaker setups, such as using speaker system B (page 42), bi-amping (page 43) and biwiring (page 44).
•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.
Placing the speakers
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 6 ft. to 9 ft. apart, at equal distance from the TV.
18
•When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible interference, such as discoloration of the picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers farther away 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 a foot-and-a-half to three feet higher than your ears and titled 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.
•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.
•To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Be sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality.

•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.

3Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.
To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then clip the loop onto the stand (fig. b).
•If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. c) before clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the reception is clear.
4Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a direction giving the best reception.
5Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as the AM loop antenna.
For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.

Plugging in the receiver
Only plug in after you have connected all your components to this receiver, including the speakers.
Caution
•Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cables. The power cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service company for a replacement.
•The receiver should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular use, e.g., when on vacation.
•Make sure the blue STANDBY/ON light has gone out before unplugging.
•Plug the power cord into a power outlet.
AC outlet
Power supplied through this outlet is turned on and off by the receiver's power switch. Total electrical power consumption of connected equipment should not exceed 100 W (0.8 A).
Caution
•Do not connect a TV set, monitor, heater, or similar appliance to this unit's AC outlet.
•Do not connect appliances with high power consumption to the AC outlet in order to avoid overheating and fire risk. This can also cause the receiver to malfunction.
•Since a subwoofer or power amplifier can exceed the 100 W maximum when playing sources at a high volume, this type of equipment should not be connected to the AC outlet.
