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.

Determining the speakers’ application

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 below other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on page 64 ).

!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.

Other speaker connections

!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 Full Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure. See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 24 .

Placing the speakers

Refer to the chart below for placement of the speakers you intend to connect.

!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.

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 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.

!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.

12 En

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

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.

1Twist exposed wire strands together.

2Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.

3Tighten terminal.

10 mm (3/8 in.)

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.

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.

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).

Standard surround connection

The front height terminals can also be used for the front wide and Speaker B speakers.

03 Connecting your equipment

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.

IR receiver

Connecting an IR receiver

If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote control in another zone, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead of the remote sensor on the front panel of this receiver.

!Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver remote sensor window.

!Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your component to check for IR compatibility.

2 Connect the IR IN jack of another component to the IR OUT jack on the rear of this receiver to link it to the IR receiver.

Please see the manual supplied with your IR receiver for the type of cable necessary for the connection.

!If you want to link a Pioneer component to the IR receiver, see Operating other Pioneer components with this unit’s sensor on page 22 to connect to the CONTROL jacks instead of the IR OUT jack.

Operating other Pioneer components with this unit’s sensor

Many Pioneer components have SR CONTROL jacks which can be used to link components together so that you can use just the remote sensor of one component. When you use a remote control, the control signal is passed along the chain to the appropriate component.

!If you want to control all your components using this receiver’s remote control, see page 52.

!If you have connected a remote control to the CONTROL IN jack (using a mini-plug cable), you won’t be able to control this unit using the remote sensor.

Important

!Note that if you use this feature, make sure that you also have at least one set of analog audio, video or HDMI jacks connected to another component for grounding purposes.

1Decide which component you want to use the remote sensor of.

When you want to control any component in the chain, this is the remote sensor at which you’ll point the corresponding remote control.

2Connect the CONTROL OUT jack of that component to the CONTROL IN jack of another Pioneer component.

Use a cable with a mono mini-plug on each end for the connection.

64.

!Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the

Manual speaker setup on page 64 .

!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.

!If Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

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.

Basic Setup

The Input Setup menu

You only need to make settings in the

Input Setup menu if you didn’t hook up your digital equipment according to the default settings (see Input function default and possible settings on page 26 ). In this case, you need to tell the receiver what equipment is hooked up to which terminal so the buttons on the remote control correspond to the components you’ve connected.

1 Press on the remote control, then press HOME MENU.

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen appears on your TV. Use i/j/k/l and ENTER to navigate through the screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to exit the current menu.

2Select ‘System Setup’ from the Home Menu.

5Select the input(s) to which you’ve connected your component.

For example, if your DVD player only has an optical output, you will need to change the DVD input function’s Digital In setting from COAX-1 (default) to the optical input you’ve connected it to. The numbering (OPT-1 to OPT-2) corresponds with the numbers beside the inputs on the back of the receiver.

6When you’re finished, proceed to the settings for other inputs.

There are optional settings in addition to the assignment of the input jacks:

!Input Name – You can choose to rename the input function for easier identification. Select Rename to do so, or Default to return to the system default.

!Input Skip – When set to ON, that input is skipped when selecting the input using INPUT SELECT. (DVD and other inputs can be still be selected directly with the input function buttons.)

7When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You will return to the System Setup menu.

Input function default and possible settings

The terminals on the receiver generally correspond to the name of one of the input functions. If you have connected components to this receiver differently from (or in addition to) the defaults below, see The Input Setup menu on page 25 to tell the receiver how you’ve connected up. The dots (k) indicate possible assignments.
