Chapter 1:
Before you start
•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.
•HDMI (Ver.1.4 with 3D, Audio Return Channel)
A compatible component is required to use the above function.
•Remote operation on an iPhone/iPod touch
Operation via LAN is possible from an iPhone or iPod touch by downloading a Pioneer original application (iControlAV) from the iTunes Store.
•iPhone/iPod playback
Your iPhone or iPod can be connected to the receiver’s USB terminal to play the music/video files on the iPhone/ iPod.
•PQLS multi surround
Jitterless high quality playback is possible by connecting a PQLS-compatible player with HDMI connections.
•Dolby Pro Logic llz compatible
Adding a pair of speakers above the front left and right speakers adds expressiveness in the vertical direction to the previous horizontally-oriented sound field. The height channel strengthens the sound field’s sense of threedimensionality and air, producing presence and expansion.
•Internet Radio
By connecting this receiver to the network via the LAN terminal, you can listen to Internet radio stations.
•XM1 and SIRIUS Ready
01
•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.
•Web control
The receiver can be operated using a browser from a computer connected on the same LAN as the receiver.
Please check that you’ve received the following supplied accessories:

01 Before you start
•When installing this unit, make sure to put it on a level and stable surface.
Don’t install it on the following places:
–on a color TV (the screen may distort)
–near a cassette deck (or close to a device that gives off a magnetic field). This may interfere with the sound.
–in direct sunlight
–in damp or wet areas
–in extremely hot or cold areas
–in places where there is vibration or other movement
–in places that are very dusty
–in places that have hot fumes or oils (such as a kitchen)
•Do not touch this receiver’s bottom panel while the power is on or just after it is turned off. The bottom panel becomes hot when the power is on (or right after it is turned off) and could cause burns.
The remote control may not work properly if:
•There are obstacles between the remote control and the receiver’s remote sensor.
•Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the remote sensor.
•The receiver is located near a device that is emitting infrared rays.
•The receiver is operated simultaneously with another infrared remote control unit.

Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions:
•Never use new and old batteries together.
•Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries properly according to the marks in the battery case.
•Batteries with the same shape may have different voltages. Do not use different batteries together.
•When disposing of used batteries, please comply with governmental regulations or environmental public instruction’s rules that apply in your country or area.
•WARNING
Do not use or store batteries in direct sunlight or other excessively hot place, such as inside a car or near a heater. This can cause batteries to leak, overheat, explode or catch fire. It can also reduce the life or performance of batteries.

Connecting your equipment
This unit permits you to build various surround systems, in accordance with the number of speakers you have.
•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.
Choose one from Plans [A] to [E] below.

Important
•The Speaker System setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown above other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on page 83).
•Sound does not come through simultaneously from the front height, front wide, speaker B and surround back speakers. Output speakers are different depending on the input signal or listening mode.
•Your favorite speaker connections can be selected even if you have fewer than 5.1 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 Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Auto MCACC) on page 37.

•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.
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 85 to make the settings that will give you the best sound experience when using the Home THX modes (page 53).
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 sufficient 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.
En
Connecting your equipment
•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 speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.
03
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)

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.
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
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).
The front height terminals can also be used for the front wide and Speaker B 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.
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.
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support biamping.
•With these connections, the Speaker System setting makes no difference.
•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.
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.

•With an HDMI cable, video and audio signals can be transferred in high quality over a single cable.
The video converter ensures that all video sources are output through all of the MONITOR VIDEO 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
Note
1• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, 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, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in
Setting the Video options on page 61) OFF.
•The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/576i, 480p/576p, 720p and 1080i. 1080p signals cannot be converted.
•Only signals with an input resolution of 480i/576i can be converted from the component video input for the composite MONITOR OUT
terminals.

Note
1• An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVI HDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.
•If you connect a component that is not compatible with HDCP, an HDCP ERROR message is displayed on the front panel display. Some components that are compatible with HDCP still cause this message to be displayed, but so long as there is no problem with displaying video this is not a malfunction.
•Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
•This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. To take advantage of these formats, however, make sure that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding format.
2• Use a High Speed HDMI® cable. If an HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI® cable is used, it may not work properly.
•When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.
3Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component.
4• HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may occur when switching between audio formats or beginning playback.
•Turning on/off the device connected to this unit's HDMI OUT terminal during playback, or disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio.

•VSX-1325 only: When connecting to an HDMI/DVIcompatible monitor using the HDMI OUT 2 terminal, switch the HDMI output setting to HDMI OUT 2 or
HDMI OUT ALL. See Switching the HDMI output (VSX-1325 only) on page 64.
•For input components, connections other than HDMI connections are also possible (see Connecting your DVD player with no HDMI output on page 25).
•If you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver, connect the receiver and TV with audio cables.1
Note
1When the TV and receiver are connected by HDMI connections, if the TV supports the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver via the HDMI terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, set TV Audio at HDMI Setup to via HDMI (see HDMI Setup on page 56).

•In order to record, you must connect the analog audio cables (the digital connection is for playback only) (page 63).
•If your HDD/DVD recorder, BD recorder, etc., is equipped with an HDMI output terminal, we recommend connecting it to the receiver’s HDMI IN terminal. When doing so, also connect the receiver and TV by HDMI (see Connecting using HDMI on page 24).

03 Connecting your equipment
Satellite and cable receivers, and terrestrial digital TV tuners are all examples of so-called ‘set-top boxes’.
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 Setup menu on page 39).
STB
This receiver has both digital and analog inputs, allowing you to connect audio components for playback.
When you set up the receiver you’ll need to tell the receiver which input you connected the component to (see also The Input Setup menu on page 39).

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 HDMI, coaxial or optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9 Pro-compatible player. However, the connected DVD player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital output.
This receiver has more than enough power for any home use, but it’s possible to add additional amplifiers to every channel of your system using the pre-outs. Make the connections shown below to add amplifiers to power your speakers.

•You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.
•The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Speaker system setting on page 83.
•To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF, or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.
If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 83) to LARGE.

This receiver can power up to three (VSX-1325)/two (VSX1125) independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections. Different sources can be playing in three (VSX-1325)/two (VSX-1125) zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub zones have independent power (the main zone power can be off while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls.
Important
•The explanations for ZONE 3 below only apply to the VSX-1325.
