This is a basic 5.1 Channel System. Front speakers output the front stereo

sound, and a center speaker outputs the sound of the center of the screen, such

as dialogs and vocals. Surround speakers create the back sound eld. Powered subwoofer reproduces the bass sound, and creates the rich sound eld. The front speakers should be positioned at ear height while the surround

speakers should be positioned just above ear height. The center speaker

should be set up facing the listening position at an angle. Placing the powered

This is a system with the basic 5.1 channel system ( p20) consisting of front speakers, a center speaker, surround speakers and a powered subwoofer, and

added top front speakers or top middle speakers or top rear speakers combined.

Installing the height speakers will enrich the sound eld feeling in the upper

space. Install the top front speakers on the ceiling anterior to the seating position, top middle speakers on the ceiling directly above the seating position, and top rear speakers on the ceiling posterior to the seating position. The distance

between each pair should match the distance between the front speakers.

Connect speakers with an impedance of 4 Ω to 16 Ω. If any of the speakers to be connected has an impedance of 4 Ω or more and less than 6 Ω, set "Speaker

Impedance" to "4ohms" for "Speaker Setup" in the Initial Setup section ( p132). When setting "Speaker Impedance" from the System Setup menu, press the button on the remote controller to display the Home screen, and select "System Setup" - "Speaker" - "Conguration", then set "Speaker Impedance" ( p107) to "4ohms".

 Connect the Speaker Cables

≫

Make correct connection between the unit's jacks and speaker's jacks (+ side to + side, and - side to - side) for each channel. If the connection is wrong, a bass sound will not be reproduced properly due to reverse phase. Twist the wires exposed from the tip of the speaker cable so that the wires do not stick out of the speaker terminal when connecting. If the exposed wires touch the rear panel, or the + side and - side wires touch each other, a malfunction may occur.

Multi-zone

You can enjoy 2-ch audio in the separate room (ZONE 2) while performing playback in the main room (where this unit is located). The same source can be played back in the main room and ZONE 2 simultaneously. Also, di󰀨erent sources can be played back in both rooms. For the "NET", "BLUETOOTH", or "USB" input selector, you can select only the same source for the main room and separate room. If you select "NET" in the main room and then select "BLUETOOTH" in the separate room, the main room setting switches to "BLUETOOTH". You cannot select di󰀨erent stations of AM/FM broadcasts for the main room and separate room. Pioneer Remote App is useful for the multi-zone playback operation. Download Pioneer Remote App (available on iOS or Android™) to a mobile device, such as a

smartphone and tablet to use it.

surround speakers as well as the front speakers, creating a stereo image.

even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener' s left and right ears.

"O󰀨" (Default: On).

 Rock/Pop
