Loading the batteries

The batteries included with the unit are to check initial operations; they may not last over a long period. We recommend using alkaline batteries that have a longer life.

• 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.

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.

Operating range of remote control

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.

Determining the speakers’ application

By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/ SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) (or the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR)), and the subwoofer (SW), a surround sound system up to 7.1 channel can be enjoyed.

The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonlyused in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

SBL

SBR

• To connect the ZONE 2 speakers, an additional

• Both the surround back speakers and the front height speakers can be connected at the same time. In this case, sound will be output from either the front height speaker or the surround back speaker depending on which one was selected in the Speaker System setting (see The Speaker System setting on page 41).

Speaker B connection

You can use the speakers connected to the B speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. See Switching the speaker terminal on page 12 for the listening options with this setup.

• You will not be able to connect the B speakers if you connect the front height speakers in the main zone. Further, if you use the B speakers, a 5.1 ch playback will be the maximum in the main zone. (No sound is output from the surround back speaker.)

• The Speaker System setting must be set if the above

connections are performed. Select Surr.Back if the surround back speaker or speaker B is connected, and

Height if the front height speaker is connected (see The Speaker System setting on page 41).

amplifier is required.

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.

• 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.

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

FHL

30 30

120 120

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, we recommend placing the surround speaker right beside you.

If you intend to connect only one surround back speakers, place it directly behind you.

The front height terminals can also be used for Speaker B.

When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals.

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 35).

• 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 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.

• Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) 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.

• 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’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT TV.

• 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.

• 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 (MCACC) on page 24.

• 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.

Connecting the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers. You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω.

Be sure to complete all connections before connect ing this unit to the AC power source.

About the video converter

The video converter ensures that all video sources are output from HDMI OUT terminal. 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.

• If several video components are assigned to the same input function, the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).

• 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 Video Converter OFF (see Video Converter on page 41).

• 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 signal cannot be converted.

Using the component video jacks

Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video. A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video, 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.

• For the audio connection, refer to Connecting your DVD player with no HDMI output on

page 17.

• If you connect any source component to the receiver using a component video input, you

must also have your TV connected to this receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks.

• If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the input source you’ve connected. This only needs to be done if you didn’t connect according to the following defaults:

Basic Setup

Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC)

The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (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.

Basic Setup

• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC setup are output

at high volume.

• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing

speaker settings you’ve made.

• Before using the Auto MCACC setup, the iPod USB input

should not be selected as an input source.

• When both the surround back speaker and the front

height speaker are connected, conduct Auto MCACC setup twice: once with the Speaker System setting is in

Surr.Back and once with the Speaker System setting is in Height. (There is no need to conduct Auto MCACC setup

every time the Speaker System setting is changed.)

If you cancel the Auto MCACC setup at any time, the receiver automatically exits and no settings will be made.

• The screensaver automatically starts after three minutes of inactivity.

Select ‘Auto MCACC’ from the System Setup menu, then

press ENTER.

• MIC IN blinks when the microphone is not connected to

MCACC SETUP MIC jack.

Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing ENTER. The system outputs a series of test tones to establish the ambient noise level.

Follow the instructions on-screen.

• Make sure the microphone is connected.

• Make sure the subwoofer is on and the volume is turned up.

• When using surround back or front height speakers, turn on the power to the amplifier to which the surround back or front height speakers are connected, and adjust the sound level to the desired level.

• See below for notes regarding background noise and other possible interference.

Wait for the test tones to finish.

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers present in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while it’s doing this.

• For correct speaker settings, do not adjust the volume during the test tones.

Confirm the speaker configuration.

The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.

• With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise) select RETRY after checking for ambient noise (see Other problems when using the Auto MCACC setup below).

If the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct, use / to select the speaker and / to change the setting. When you’re finished, go to the next step.

If you see an error message (ERR) in the right side column, there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If selecting RETRY doesn’t fix the problem, turn off the power and check the speaker connections.

Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press ENTER.

If the screen in step 7 is left untouched for 10 seconds and ENTER is not pressed in step 8, the Auto MCACC setup will start automatically as shown.

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 1 to 3 minutes.

The Auto MCACC setup has finished! You return 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 38).

• 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 Speaker Setting on page 38.

• 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.

Other 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 playback

Playing a source

Here are the basic instructions for playing a source (such as a DVD disc) with your home theater system.

Switch on your system components and receiver.

Start by switching on the playback component (for example a DVD player), your TV and subwoofer (if you have one), then the receiver (press  RECEIVER).

• Make sure the setup microphone is disconnected.

Switch the TV input to the input that connects this

receiver.

For example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO jacks on your TV, make sure that the VIDEO input is now selected.

Press input function buttons to select the input function

you want to play.

• The input of the receiver will switch over, and you will be able to operate other components using the remote control. To operate the receiver, first press on the remote control, then press the appropriate button to operate.

• The input source can also be selected by using INPUT SELECT buttons on the remote control, or by using the front panel INPUT SELECTOR dial. In this case, the remote control won’t switch operational modes.

If you selected the proper input source and there is still no sound, select the audio input signal for playback (see Selecting the audio input signal below).

Press AUTO/DIRECT to select ‘AUTO SURROUND’ and

start playback of the source.

If you’re playing a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound DVD disc, with a digital audio connection, you should hear surround sound. If you’re playing a stereo source or if the connection is an analog audio connection, you will only hear sound from the front left/right speakers in the default listening mode. It is possible to check on the front panel display whether or not surround sound playback is being performed properly.

When using a surround back speaker, 2D+PLIIx is displayed when playing Dolby Digital 5.1-channel signals, and DTS+NEO:6 is displayed when playing DTS 5.1-channel signals.

When not using a surround back speaker, 2D is displayed when playing Dolby Digital signals. If the display does not correspond to the input signal and listening mode, check the connections and settings.

• 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 if you want multichannel surround sound.

Use MASTER VOLUME 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.

Selecting the audio input signal

The audio input signal can be selected for each input source. Once it is set, the audio input that was selected will be applied whenever you select the input source using the input function buttons.



Press , then press SIGNAL SEL to select the

audio input signal corresponding to the source component.

Each press cycles through the following:

• H – Selects an HDMI signal. H can be selected for BD, DVD, DVR/BDR or VIDEO1 input. For other inputs, H cannot be selected.

When the HDMI option in Setting the Audio options on page 36 is set to THRU, the sound will be heard t hrough your TV, not from this receiver.

• A – Selects the analog inputs.

• C1/O1/O2 – Selects the digital input. The coaxial 1 input is selected for C1, and the optical 1 or 2 audio input is selected for O1 or O2.

When H (HDMI) or C1/O1/O2 (digital) is selected and the selected audio input is not provided, A (analog) is automatically selected.

• VIDEO1 input is fixed to H (HDMI). It cannot be changed.

•For the TV/SAT input, only A (analog) or C1/O1/O2 (digital) can be selected. However, if the ARC at HDMI Setup is set to ON, the input is fixed to H (HDMI) and cannot be changed.

• When set to H (HDMI) or C1/O1/O2 (digital), 2 lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input, and DTS lights when a DTS signal is input.

• When the H (HDMI) is selected, the A and DIGITAL indicators are off (see page 7).

Better sound using Phase Control

This receiver’s 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.

Phase Control technology provides coherent sound reproduction through the use of phase matching for an optimal sound image at your listening position. The default setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control switched on for all sound sources.

• Phase 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, then the sound will be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will be produced.

• If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually feel when Phase Control is set to ON on this receiver depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer to maximize the effect. It is also recommended you try changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer.

• Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to OFF. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the cutoff frequency to a higher value.

• If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have a maximized Phase Control effect.

With 5.1 encoded sources, a surround back channel will be generated, but the material may sound better in the 5.1 format for which it was originally encoded (in which case, you can simply switch surround back channel processing off).

• With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that have undergone matrix decoding processing through

DISP

surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix function is added are output from the surround back speakers.



Press , then press SB CH repeatedly to cycle

the surround back channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

• SB ON – Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is turned on.

• SB AUTO – Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is switched automatically. Matrix decoding processing is only performed when surround back channel signals are detected in the input signals.

• SB OFF – Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is turned off.

Setting the Up Mix function

In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side. The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround speakers with the surround back speakers so that the surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it should be.

• Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as recommended in the example on page 10.

• Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound source, in some cases it may not be possible to achieve good results. In this case, set the setting to OFF.

Switch the receiver into standby.

• Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce

bass frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.

• Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center speaker, choose NO (the center channel is sent to the other speakers).

• Front Height – Select LARGE if your front height speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect front height speakers choose NO.

• Surr – Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the surround channels is sent to the other speakers).

• Surr. Back – Select the number of surround back speakers you have (one, two or none). Select LARGE if your surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround back speakers choose NO.

When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single) terminals.

• Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies are output from other speakers).

When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

• If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center, surround, surround back and front height speakers can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.

• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.

• If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In this case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.

Crossover Network

• Default setting: 100Hz

This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or the subwoofer, and bass sounds playing back from those selected as SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.

• Be sure to connect the TV’s audio cable to the audio in put of this unit. When 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 ARC at HDMI Setup to ON (see HDMI Setup below).

For details, see Connecting using HDMI on page 15.

• When connecting this system or changing connections, be sure to switch the power off and disconnect the power cord from the wall socket. After completing all connections, connect the power cords to the wall socket.

• After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second to 10 second HDMI initialization process begins. You cannot carry out any operations during initialization. The HDMI indicator on the display unit blinks during initialization, and you can turn this receiver on once it has stopped blinking.

• To get the most out of this function, we recommend that you connect your HDMI component not to a TV but rather directly to the HDMI terminal on this receiver.

• While the r eceiver is equipped with four HDMI inputs, the Control with HDMI function can only be used with up to three DVD or Blu-ray Disc players or up to three DVD or Blu-ray Disc recorders.

• OFF – The TV’s sound is input from the audio input terminals other than HDMI inputs.

When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You return to the System Setup menu.

Before using synchronization

Once you have finished all connections and settings, you must:

Put all components into standby mode.

Turn the power on for all components, with the power

for the TV being turned on last.

Choose the HDMI input to which the TV is connected to

this receiver, and see if video output from connected components displays properly on the screen or not.

Check whether the components connected to all HDMI

inputs are properly displayed.

About synchronized operations

The Control with HDMI-compatible component connected to the receiver operates in sync as described below.

• Synchronized amp mode

From the menu screen of the Control with HDMIcompatible TV, set audio to be played through this receiver, and the receiver will switch to the synchronized amp mode.

When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized amp mode is canceled when the receiver’s power is tu rne d off . To tur n th e sy nch roni zed amp mod e ba ck o n, set audio to be played through the receiver from the TV’s menu screen, etc. This receiver will power up and switch to the synchronized amp mode.

When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized amp mode is canceled if an operation that produces sound from the TV is performed from the TV’s menu screen, etc.

When the synchronized amp mode is canceled, the receiver’s power turns off if you were viewing an HDMI input or a TV program on the TV.

• Power synchronization with TV

When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for a component connected to the receiver by HDMI connection is selected or when watching the TV.)

• Automatic switching of inputs

The receiver’s input switches automatically when the Control with HDMI-compatible component is played.

The receiver’s input switches automatically when the TV’s input is switched.

The synchronized amp mode remains in effect even if the receiver’s input is switched to a component other than one connected by HDMI.

About connections with a product of a different brand that supports the Control with HDMI function

The synchronized operations below can be used when the receiver’s Control with HDMI function is connected to a TV of a brand other than Pioneer that supports the Control with HDMI function. (Depending on the TV, however, some of the Control with HDMI functions may not work.)

• When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for a component connected to the receiver by HDMI connection is selected or when watching the TV)

• The sound of TV programs or an external input connected to the TV can also be output from the speakers connected to the receiver. (If the TV does not support the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, this requires connection of an optical digital cable, etc., in addition to the HDMI cable.)

The synchronized operations below can be used when the receiver’s Control with HDMI function is connected to a player or recorder of a brand other than Pioneer tha t supports the Control with HDMI function.

• When playback starts on the player or recorder, the receiver’s input switches to the HDMI input to which that component is connected.

See the Pioneer website for the latest information on the models of non-Pioneer brands and products that support the Control with HDMI function.

Cautions on the Control with HDMI function

• Connect the TV and components (Blu-ray Disc player, etc.) directly to this receiver. Interrupting a direct connection with other amps or an AV converter (such as an HDMI switch) can cause operational errors.

• When the receiver’s Control is turned ON, even if the receiver’s power is in the standby mode, it is possible to output the audio and video signals from a player via HDMI to the TV without producing sound from the receiver, but only when a Control with HDMI-compatible component (Blu-ray Disc player, etc.) and compatible TV are connected. In this case, the receiver’s power turns on and the power and HDMI indicators light.

Using the MULTI-ZONE feature

MULTI-ZONE listening

This receiver can power up to two independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.

Different sources can be playing in two 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 the sub zone is on) and the sub zone can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls.

Making MULTI-ZONE connections

It is possible to make these connections if you have a separate speakers for your sub zone (ZONE 2). You will also need a separate amplifier for your sub zone.

• You can’t use sound controls (such as the bass/treble controls or Midnight listening) or any surround modes with a separate amplifier in the sub zone. You can, however, use the features available with your sub zone amplifier

MULTI-ZONE listening options

Chapter 10:

Additional information

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Take a look at the other components and electrical appliances being used, because sometimes the problem may lie there. If the trouble isn’t sorted out even after going through the checks below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service company to carry out repair work.

• If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.

General

The power does not turn on.

 Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again.  Make sure there are no loose strands of speaker wire touching

the rear panel. This could cause the receiver to shut off automatically.

Power cannot be turned off. (ZONE2 ON is displayed.)

 Press the button, then with the SHIFT button

pressed, press the  RECEIVER button to switch the sub zone off.

The receiver suddenly switches off.

 When the Auto Power Down function is working, the power

will automatically turn off if the receiver has not operated for several hours. Check the setting for the Auto Power Down function (see The Auto Power Down menu on page 42).

 After about a minute (you won’t be able to switch the unit on

during this time), switch the receiver back on. If the message persists, call a Pioneer authorized independent service company.

The power suddenly turns on or off, or the input suddenly changes (When the Control with HDMI is ON).

 This happens because of the synchronized operation due to

the Control with HDMI function. If synchronized operations are not needed, set the Control with HDMI to OFF (see HDMI Setup on page 43).

OVERHEAT shows in the display and the power turns off.

 The temperature within the unit has exceeded the allowable

value. Try moving the unit for better ventilation (see page 2).

 Lower the volume level.

TEMP shows in the display and the volume level drops.

 The temperature within the unit has exceeded the allowable

value. Try moving the unit for better ventilation (see page 2).

 Lower the volume level.

No sound is output when an input function is selected.

 Use MASTER VOLUME to turn up the volume.  Press MUTE on the remote control to turn muting off.  Press SPEAKERS to select the proper speaker set (see

Switching the speaker terminal on page 12).

 Set the SIGNAL SEL to H (HDMI), C1/O1/O2 (digital) or A

(analog) according to the type of connections made (refer to page 26).

 Make sure the component is connected correctly (refer to

Connecting your equipment on page 10).

 Check the audio output settings of the source component.  Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the source

component.

No image is output when an input function is selected.

 Make sure the component is connected correctly (refer to

Connecting your equipment on page 10).

 Check The Input Assign menu on page 40 to make sure you’re

assigned the correct input.

 The video input selected on the TV monitor is incorrect. Refer

to the instruction manual supplied with the TV.

 For HDMI, or when Video Converter is set to OFF and a TV and

another component are connected with different cords (in Video Converter on page 41), you must connect your TV to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video component.

 Some components (such as video game units) have

resolutions that may not be converted. If adjusting this receiver’s Resolution setting (in Resolution on page 41) and/or the resolution settings on your component or display doesn’t work, try switching Video Converter (in Video Converter on page 41) OFF.

No sound from subwoofer.

 Make sure the subwoofer is switched on.  If the subwoofer has a volume knob, make sure it’s turned up.  The Dolby Digital or DTS source you are listening to may not

have an LFE channel.

 Switch the subwoofer setting in Speaker Setting on page 38 to

YES or PLUS.

 Switch the LFE ATT (LFE Attenuate) on page 36 to LFEATT 0 or

LFEATT 5.

No sound from surround or center speakers.

 Connect the speakers properly (refer to page 12).  Refer to Speaker Setting on page 38 to check the speaker

settings.

 Refer to Channel Level on page 39 to check the speaker levels.

The Phase Control feature doesn’t seem to have an audible effect.

 If applicable, check that the lowpass filter switch on your

subwoofer is off, or the lowpass cutoff is set to the highest frequency setting. If there is a PHASE setting on your subwoofer, set it to 0º (or depending on the subwoofer, the setting where you think it has the best overall effect on the sound).

 Make sure the speaker distance setting is correct for all

speakers (see Speaker Distance on page 40).

Considerable noise in radio broadcasts.

 Connect the antenna (page 20) and adjust the position for

best reception.

 Route any loose cables away from the antenna terminals and

wires.

 Fully extend the FM wire antenna, position for best reception,

and secure to a wall (or connect an outdoor FM antenna).

 Connect an additional internal or external AM antenna

(page 21).

 Turn off equipment causing interference or move it away from

the receiver (or move antennas farther away from equipment causing noise).

Broadcast stations cannot be selected automatically.

 Connect an outdoor antenna (refer to page 21).

Noise during playback of a cassette deck.

 Move the cassette deck away from your receiver, until the

noise disappears.

Important information regarding the HDMI connection

There are cases where you may not be able to route HDMI signals through this receiver (this depends on the HDMI equipped component you are connecting-check with the manufacturer for HDMI compatibility information).

If you aren’t receiving HDMI signals properly through this receiver (from your component), please try the following configuration when connecting up.

Configuration A

Use component video cables to connect the video output of your HDMI-equipped component to the receiver’s component video input. The receiver can then convert the analog component video signal to a digital HDMI signal for transmission to the display. For this configuration, use the most convenient connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio connections.

• The picture quality will change slightly during conversion.

Configuration B

Connect your HDMI-equipped component directly to the display using an HDMI cable. Then use the most convenient connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio connections. Set the display volume to minimum when using this configuration.

Additional information

Note

Important

• Depending on the component, audio output may be limited to the number of channels available from the connected display unit (for example audio output is reduced to 2 channels for a monitor with stereo audio limitations).

• If you want to switch the input source, you’ll have to switch functions on both the receiver and your display unit.

• Since the sound is muted on the display when using the HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on the display every time you switch input sources.

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.
