Features

High Quality, Balanced Multichannel Design

The VSX-D1011 receiver is constructed with Pioneer’s industry-leading advanced and well balanced multichannel Featuresconcept. This means it is designed to reproduce music and movie soundtracks as close as possible to the intentions of the producer during mastering. The receiver uses a revolutionary 3-D Frame Construction technique and a Symmetrical Power Train Design, with high-performance Advanced Direct Energy MOS-FET output devices, generating 100 watts of power for 7 independent channels.

Multichannel Acoustic Calibration EQ System (MCACC)

In order to make setting up as easy as possible for users we have created the MCACC system. This unique and convenient way of getting good surround sound from the receiver makes trouble-free set up a snap. The MCACC system creates a monitoring environment to establish the parameters of the sound in regards to each speaker for the specific room you are using. The Acoustic Calibration EQ feature makes sure each speaker is used to maximum effect in conjunction with the overall sound. The resulting settings finely attune the overall surround sound for the space used.

Dolby Digital EX, DTS-ES, DTS 96/24 and the Latest Audio and Video Formats

The VSX-D1011 is equipped with Dolby Digital EX decoding, the very latest Dolby Digital contribution to home theater with surround back speakers in addition to surround speakers. These additional speakers make home theater even more realistic and powerful. Naturally, you can also play all existing audio formats, including the recently developed Dolby Pro Logic II and DTS-ES Extended Surround formats on the VSX-D1011 as well. On the video side, the component video output is fully compatible with high definition, progressive-scan digital video (720p).

Easy Setup Guide Part1

Home Theater: The Basics

Most consumers are used to using stereo equipment to listen to music but many people are not used to home theater systems that give you many more options when listening to soundtracks. In fact, home theater is not really complicated and this little guide should give you an understanding of the basics. Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks combined with multiple speakers to create a surround sound effect. There are three different factors involved in getting surround sound. Each contribute to what kind of sound you get. These factors are:

1) The equipment you are using for your home theater setup. Particularly important is the number of speakers you are using. We call this your speaker configuration.

2) The source material you are using. This is the actual product (like a DVD) or broadcast (like cable TV) you are listening to/watching. We call this the source.

3) The last factor is the listening mode you choose on the VSX-D1011 receiver. These are explained below and in subsequent chapters but most likely the PRO LOGIC II MOVIE for moves and the PRO LOGIC II MUSIC for music will be fine. Let's start with the home theater setup you have in your home.

1) Your Home System

The heart of your system is the VSX-D1011 receiver and it is very flexible in getting you theater-like surround sound. You can use this receiver with anywhere from two to seven speakers (front left, front right, center, surround left and right, and surround back left and right) and a subwoofer to get home theater surround sound. We recommend you use seven speakers and a subwoofer. If this is not possible follow the instructions in "QUICK Setup" in the "Easy Setup Guide Part 2" and you will still be able to get good surround sound. Also, a DVD player is essential for home theater and you can also hook up satellite or cable TV tuner to this receiver and get a more home theater-like sound from these sources.

2) The Source Material

DVDs have become the basic source material for home theater because they are convenient to use and offer excellent sound and picture quality as well as allow users to enjoy home theater soundtracks with more than two channels of audio. For example, Dolby Pro Logic plays back four channels (front left, front right, center and a single channel for both surround speakers), Dolby Digital and DTS sources usually have six discrete channels (front left, front right, center, surround left and right and a channel that powers the subwoofer) of sound. Since the subwoofer channel is only for bass sounds it is expressed as .1 of a channel and this multichannel setup has been named 5.1 channel sound. It is important you consult the manual that came with your DVD player as well to make sure the player is outputting a surround soundtrack and all the other settings are appropriate for your home theater.

EASY SETUP GUIDE

PREPARATION

3) The Listening Modes

This receiver has many different listening modes and they are designed to cover all the speaker configurations and types of sources you might be using. In general, the PRO LOGIC II MOVIE listening mode is the easiest way to get realistic surround sound for movies. For music the basic listening mode for music is PRO LOGIC II MUSIC.

To listen to music in stereo simply choose the STEREO listening mode. Other possibilities (like listening to a stereo CD with all seven speakers or taking a stereo source and getting multichannel home theater-like sound) are explained in listening modes (pages 43–45).

Conclusion

These are the three basic factors that contribute to your home theater sound. The easiest thing is to hook up seven speakers and a subwoofer and simply play your DVDs with PRO LOGIC II MOVIE listening mode. This will give you realistic and enjoyable home theater sound. First hook up your equipment, like your DVD player, TV and speakers. Then follow the Easy Setup Guide instructions to set up your system for surround sound. It is very important you do one of the surround sound setups to get optimal sound from your receiver. For more details on any of the information presented here check the main section of the manual.

Easy Setup Guide Part1

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

1 Hooking Up Your DVD Player & TV

In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS soundtracks, which are at the heart of home theater, you need to hook up your DVD player with digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical connection, you don’t need to do both. The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some DVD players only have one type of digital terminal you need to figure out which yours has and hook it up to the appropriate terminal on the receiver. In order to do this you will need the proper cable. For coaxial connections you can use a regular RCA video cord or the specially-made coaxial cords, they have the same type of plugs. For optical connections you will need a special optical cable which you can buy at your local stereo store. For more information on cords and cables see page 21. You should also hook up your DVD player with analog audio connections. Use regular RCA stereo cords for these connections. Also hook up the video connection on your DVD player, and your TV to this receiver. For your TV it's easiest to use a regular composite (RCA) video cord, as shown below. S Video and Component video cords are of higher quality than RCA video cords and may also be used with this unit.

Digital Connections

Some DVD players have both coaxial and optical terminals, but there is no need to connect both. If your DVD player has a coaxial terminal (not a PCM-only output) for the audio out hook it up using this terminal. Follow the diagram below. This is the best scenario, as you will be able to follow the default settings of this receiver and won't need to assign the digital inputs (you should use DIGITAL IN 3).

If your DVD player only has an optical terminal for the audio output you can hook it up using one of the DIGITAL IN terminals between 1-2 (for example, DIGITAL IN 2). In this case, you will need to assign the digital input (which means tell the receiver which input you used for your DVD digital audio). See page 12 for this.

Easy Setup Guide Part1

2 Speaker Connections

Home theater is designed to be setup with five, or seven speakers (front left & right; center; surround left & right; and, optimally, surround back left & right) and a subwoofer, but you can use this receiver with fewer speakers. Hook up the speakers you have to the A speaker terminals on the back of the receiver. If you only have two speakers hook them up as FRONT. If you have three hook up the single speaker as CENTER. Follow the diagram below in order to hook up all your speakers. A center speaker is very important for watching films because in digital soundtracks the dialog comes from the center speaker. If you do not have a center speaker you must tell the receiver the center channel is off or when you listen to digital soundtracks you won't hear any dialog. This can be easily accomplished by following the steps in the Surround Sound QUICK setup instructions from page 13 in this Easy Setup Guide. If possible, use surround back speakers. These speakers are important to take full advantage of all the sound channels on new, eight channel home theater DVDs. The diagram below also explains how to hook up a subwoofer which provides realistic bass sounds. For the subwoofer use a mono (single plug) RCA cord and for the other speakers use regular speaker cords. See pages 94–95 for advice on speaker placement. Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the R terminal and the speaker on the left to the L terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

2 Playing a DVD with Surround Sound

Make sure the receiver, your TV, your subwoofer and your DVD player

are switched ON.

Press the DVD/LD button on the remote control.

You should see DVD/LD in the display on the receiver.

Play a DVD then adjust the MASTER VOLUME.

memo

To get a more refined sound, make the sound settings in "Expert setup" (starting on page

82).

If you're having trouble getting surround sound playback look at this Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) guide:

Q1: Even though I'm playing a DVD I'm not getting 5.1 channel playback. A1: Either the DVD is not set for digital output, or the Dolby Digital/DTS output settings are not

correct.

Set the DVD player to output a digital signal and set the Dolby Digital and DTS output properly. If you are unsure how to do this check the DVD initial setup in the manual that came with your DVD player.

Q2: There is no sound from the subwoofer or it is very low. A2: There is a good possibility you haven't reached a part of the DVD that has an LFE channel

(which feeds the subwoofer) yet. The LFE channel only appears in selected parts of the soundtrack. Continue playing and listen for the subwoofer.

If you want to hear more sound from the subwoofer set it to PLUS (see page 37 for more information and consult the memo on page 38).

Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting your TV

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Connect your TV to the jacks as shown below. Hook up with either S video or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but you must use the same type of video cords to hook up your DVD player (and all other video components) as you use to hook up your TV. If you plan to hook up your DVD player with S video cords hook up your TV with them as well. Composite video cords, which look just like regular RCA audio cords (see page 19) but have only one cable are the most common.

Composite Video

Composite video cords are the most common or standard video cord but also the lowest quality. The color on the connector is yellow to distinguish it from regular RCA audio cords which have white and red connectors (see page 19). It is important to use a true composite video cord and not an audio cord (though they look exactly the same) because the impedance is different and this will affect the picture quality.

S Video

S VIDEO

S video cables produce clearer picture reproduction by sending separate signals for the luminance and the color.

Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting Video Components

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Connect your video components as shown on this and the following page. For video components (for example, a DVD player) there are two types of connections to make, video and audio.

Hook up your video signal with either S video or composite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but you must use the same type of cord as you used to hook up your TV.

For the audio signal, in order to use digital soundtracks like Dolby Digital or DTS you must hook up a digital input, with either a coaxial or optical cord (see page 21). It is also a good idea to hook up your components with analog audio connections as well.

If you want to record from your DVD player composite (or S video) cord connections and analog audio connections are necessary.

Connecting a DVD player

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Hook up your audio signal with either a coaxial or optical digital cords (you don't need to do both). If you have a DVD-Audio or Super Audio CD (SACD) compatible player, see "Connecting to the Multi Channel Analog Inputs" on page 20.

You need to hook up your audio with analog connections as well.

memo • Be sure to make either a digital coaxial or digital optical connection (pictured as DIGITAL

jack 3 or DIGITAL jack 2 in this diagram) but you DON'T need to make both.

• If your digital connections are different than the default settings you will need to assign the digital jacks to the proper component(s) with the "Assigning the Digital Inputs" procedure. See page 80 to do this.

Connecting Your Equipment

Connecting VCRs or DVRs

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Connect the video out of your VCR/DVR using either S video or composite video cords, depending on how you connected the receiver to your TV (see page 15). Use analog audio cords for the audio signal. To record, you also need to connect a set of audio/video outputs from the receiver to the audio/video inputs on your VCR/DVR. Note that to record video from a source component, the video connection from the source to the receiver and from the receiver to the recorder must be the same type.

Connecting Digital Audio Components

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Connect your digital components as shown below. The VSX-D1011 has two coaxial, two optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs. In order to use digital soundtracks like Dolby Digital or DTS (among others) you need to make digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical connection (you don’t need to do both). The quality of these two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver).

Hook up your digital equipment in accordance with this receiver's default settings (see next page) unless you want to, or need to, change them. To do this see "Assigning the Digital Inputs" on page 80.

There are two optical digital out jacks (the CD recorder is connected to one in the diagram below). If you connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.

We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks (see page 19) in order to make recordings (some digital sources may be protected against making digital copies).

Digital Input Default Settings

Unlike analog connections, the jacks for digital connections are not dedicated to one type of component, they can be used freely. Thus you must tell the receiver what digital component is connected to which jack so your components will be in sync with the names on the remote control buttons and the like. To avoid having to assign the digital inputs you can hook up your equipment in accordance with the receiver's default settings.

The default settings are:

DIGITAL IN 1 (optical): TV/SAT DIGITAL IN 2 (optical): CD-R/TAPE1 DIGITAL IN 3 (coaxial): DVD/LD DIGITAL IN 4 (coaxial): CD

See "Assigning the Digital Inputs" on page 80 if the way you hook up your equipment is different from the default settings listed here.

Connecting the Radio Antennas

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

Connecting Speakers

Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet.

We recommend a full complement of seven speakers and a subwoofer as shown here but, naturally, everyone's home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner described below.

One of the latest features of home theater is the use of surround back speakers. These speakers add even greater realism in movie sound effects and some new discs with soundtracks in Dolby Digital or DTS incorporate these channels. See the page 26 for speaker placement.

In general, make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the R terminal and the speaker on the left to the L terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

We recommend speakers with a nominal impedance rated 8 Ω-16 Ω, but you can change the

memo

•

speaker impedance setting of the receiver (see page 25).

• If you only have one surround back speaker hook it up to the left surround back terminal.

• If you use 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 Your Speakers

Proper speaker placement is essential to realize the best sound from your system. The diagram and tips given here are just a rough guide, for more information see pages 94 & 95. Also, it is very important for speaker placement to read the instructions that come with your speakers so please be sure to do so.

Speaker placement

If you have a multiple speaker arrangement the placement of the speakers is extremely important. To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below. Make sure all speakers are installed securely to prevent accidents and improve sound quality. Some speakers are designed to be floor-standing but others benefit greatly from speaker stands which raise them off the floor. Be sure to read your speaker manuals for the best placement of the speakers.

memo

• When installing speakers near the TV, we recommend using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent distortion in the color of the TV screen. If you do not have magnetically shielded speakers and notice discoloration of the TV screen, place the speakers farther away from the TV.

• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.

• THX recommends that if you have two surround back speakers place them close together.

AC Power Cord

Plug in the power cord to a wall outlet after you have finished hooking up the rest of your equipment.

CAUTION!

• Do not use any other power cord than the one supplied with this unit. (multi-voltage model only)

• The equipment should be disconnected by removing the mains plug from the wall socket when not in

regular use, e.g. when on vacation.

AC Outlet [switched 100 W max] (European model only)

Power supplied through this outlet is turned on and off by this unit’s STANDBY/ON button. Total electrical power consumption of connected equipment should not exceed 100 W.

CAUTION!

• Do not connect appliances with high power consumption such as heaters, irons, or television sets to the AC OUTLET in order to avoid overheating or fire risk. This can cause the unit to malfunction.

through the NORMAL setup menus. When you have the setting you want in a particular menu, press ENTER.

In each mode the current settings are displayed. We suggest you adjust all these settings when you first hook up the receiver. That gets them out of the way and you won't need to return to this setting mode unless you change your home set up by adding new speakers (etc.).

See the next four pages for more information on these settings.

Setting Up for Surround Sound

SPEAKER SETTING

The information below shows you how to select the correct settings for the type and number of speakers you connected. Most importantly, you need to decide how to route the sound for all the speakers you connected. To do this select the size of the front, center, surround and surround back speakers (if you hooked them up). It is important to make these settings as accurately as possible or, in some cases, you may not get the full soundtrack from a disc. Use the information below to complete the steps that follow and set up the receiver to match the speakers you have hooked up. If starting fresh, complete steps 1-2 in page 36.

FRONT (default setting is SMALL)

Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the subwoofer. Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively or if you did not connect a subwoofer. (If you select SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be switched YES. Also, the center and surround speakers cannot be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.)

CENTER (default setting is SMALL)

• Select LARGE if your speaker will reproduce bass frequencies effectively.

• Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer.

• If you did not connect a center speaker, choose NO. In this case, the center channel is output from the front speakers.

SURROUND (default setting is SMALL)

• Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively.

• Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer.

• If you did not connect surround speakers choose NO. In this case, the sound of the surround channels is output from the front and center speakers.

• If the front speakers are set to SMALL, the surround speakers will automatically be set to SMALL.

SURROUND BACK (default setting is SMALL X2)

If you chose SECOND ZONE or FRONT BI-AMP in SURRBACK SYSTEM on page 35, or if you chose NO for SURROUND SPEAKERS, you won’t be able to choose this setting.

• Select the number of surround back speakers you have. You can choose one speaker, two, or none.

• If you select one, make sure that speaker if hooked up to the left surround back terminal.

• Select LARGE if your speakers will reproduce bass frequencies effectively.

• Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer.

• If you did not connect surround back speakers choose NO.

• If the front speakers or the surround speakers are set to SMALL, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to SMALL.

• If you choose THX in step 2 then the surround back speakers can only be set to SMALL (X1 or X2), or NO.

SUBWOOFER (default setting is YES)

• Leave it selected if you connected a subwoofer.

• If you selected SMALL for the front speakers the subwoofer will automatically be set to on (you won’t be able to choose NO or PLUS).

• If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO. In this case, the bass frequencies are output from the front or surround speakers.

• Choose the PLUS setting if you want stronger reproduction of deep bass sounds.

• If you select PLUS the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are all routed to the subwoofer.

memo

If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and leave the subwoofer selected. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the size and shape of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due to what is called low frequency cancellations. If you have a subwoofer, listen to the bass response with the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternately and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you have a subwoofer, the safest option is to route all the bass sounds to it by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.

• If no digital inputs are assigned (see page 80) you can only choose ANALOG in the SIGNAL SELECT.

• Because the audio signal from a karaoke microphone and LDs are recorded with analog audio only, they are not output from the digital outputs. Set SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG to listen to these formats.

• When an LD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL SELECT set in ANALOG, digital noise caused by playing back the DTS signal directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise, you need to make digital connections (See pages 21 & 22) and set SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO or DIGITAL.

Basic Operation

Listening Modes

The three listening mode types on the receiver are explained here (to select listening modes see page 41). The kind of playback you can get in the three modes depends on what kind of a source (DVD, etc.) you are using. The basic distinction is between 2 channel sources and multichannel sources. The MOVIE and MUSIC modes that are available to you will also differ according to your source and which SB CH MODE you choose. This is explained below as well.

For home theater the MOVIE and MUSIC listening modes are designed to deliver realistic and powerful multichannel surround sound that recreates the movie theater or concert experience. The first four MOVIE modes (THX CINEMA, 2PRO LOGIC II MOVIE, 2PRO LOGIC, NEO:6 CINEMA) and first two MUSIC modes (2PRO LOGIC II MUSIC, NEO:6 MUSIC) incorporate pure decoding of the signal. That is they present it as it was recorded in the sound studio. The other modes are DSP modes. They add some type of effect to the signal. You may need to experiment with these modes to see which suit your home system and personal tastes. The MUSIC and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some MUSIC modes are also suitable for film soundtracks. Again, try different modes with various soundtracks to see which you like but you must choose one of the MOVIE and MUSIC listening modes in order to get surround sound. Depending on your setup, in STEREO mode only the front two speakers, and sometimes the subwoofer (if you have one), are used.

STEREO modes

When a source is played in this mode, it plays through just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.

STEREO

In STEREO mode the audio plays according to the surround setup settings and you can still use ACOUSTIC CALIBRATION EQ, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, HI-BIT HI-SAMPLING mode and TONE Control functions.

DIRECT

In DIRECT mode, the audio bypasses all types of signal processing to remain as close to the source audio quality as possible.

memo

If you switch on ACOUSTIC CALIBRATION EQ, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, HI-BIT HISAMPLING mode and TONE Control functions when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO.

BASIC

Basic Operation

MOVIE modes (SURROUND mode)

The MOVIE mode is a newly designed system for enhancing movie soundtracks and other audio-visual sources that optimizes its effects in accordance with your source, SB CH MODE and speaker configuration. The first four modes (THX CINEMA, 2PRO LOGIC II MOVIE, 2PRO LOGIC, NEO:6 CINEMA) are for pure decoding of multichannel sound sources (for example, Dolby Digital or DTS). With these modes the receiver will automatically employ the format of the sound source (for example, Dolby Digital or DTS) and display it on receiver. With two channel sources these first four modes will create surround channels. Next, there are six PIONEER original sound modes that use DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to create different types of sound environments as described below.

THX CINEMA

THX is a set of technical standards created by Lucasfilm Ltd. These standards were designed to emulate a film sound stage and thus reproduce, with the greatest possible accuracy, the soundtrack intended by the filmmakers.

2PL II MOVIE (2PRO LOGIC II MOVIE)*

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound. It is suitable for movies, especially those recorded in Dolby Surround. The channel separation and movement of surround effects is comparable to Dolby Digital 5.1. With sources other than stereo (5.1, etc.) the display will automatically show the type of decoding being employed (Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, etc.).

2PRO LOGIC*

This mode gives 4.1 channel surround sound. It is less sensitive to the quality of the source material, so may be useful when 2 PRO LOGIC II MOVIE or 2 PRO LOGIC II MUSIC modes do not give good results. With sources other than stereo (5.1, etc.) the display will automatically show the type of decoding being employed (Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, etc.).

NEO:6 CINEMA*

This mode gives 6.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for movies. The NEO:6 CINEMA mode delivers good channel separation for movie soundtracks. With sources other than stereo (5.1, etc.) the display will automatically show the type of decoding being employed (Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, etc.).

ACTION

This mode is designed for action movies, which generally use lots of sound effects. The mode enriches the sound to make it more realistic and extends the parameters to pick up high and low sound effects.

SCI-FI

This mode is designed for science fiction movies. It creates a broad sound space, separating dialog from sound effects to heighten the overall impact of the soundtrack.

DRAMA

This mode is designed for movies with a lot of dialog. The elements of dialog are enhanced, making the characters seem more real. The mode also compresses the dynamic range somewhat so loud sounds do not overpower softer ones (compare this with the MIDNIGHT listening mode explained on page 48).

MUSICAL

This mode is primarily for music and adds a spacious feeling to the sound. A long delay time of reflected sounds provides resonant tones which emulate a concert hall.

MONOFILM

This mode is designed for older movies which are recorded with mono soundtracks. The special sound processing of this mode will allow you to experience these movies in surround sound even though they were not recorded that way originally.

5/7-D THEATER

This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources. The overall effect builds a dynamic and broad sound space, allowing two-channel (stereo) signals to faithfully imitate a five speaker sound. The mode should be used in conjunction with Dolby Pro Logic for sources bearing the

DOLBY SURROUND

SB CH MODE and speaker configuration.

mark. The display will show either 5-D THEATER or 7-D THEATER according to the source,

When you input a multichannel signal the decoding is done automatically so you cannot choose these

modes.

Basic Operation

MUSIC modes (SURROUND mode)

The MUSIC modes allow you to transform your living room into a variety of different sonic environments when playing either two-channel or multichannel sources. It optimizes its effects in accordance with your source, SB CH MODE and speaker configuration. The first two modes (2PRO LOGIC II MUSIC, NEO:6 MUSIC) for pure decoding of multichannel sound sources (for example, Dolby Digital or DTS). With these modes the receiver will automatically employ the format of the sound source (for example, Dolby Digital or DTS) and display it on receiver. With two channel sources these first two modes will create surround channels. Then there are five PIONEER original sound modes that use DSP (Digital Signal Processing) to create different types of sound environments as described below. Lastly, the 5/7-CH STEREO mode simply outputs a stereo signal through all of your speakers.

2PL II MUSIC (2PRO LOGIC II MUSIC)*

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. Compared to the Movie Mode PRO LOGIC, the surround effect is more enveloping. With sources other than stereo (5.1, etc.) the display will automatically show the type of decoding being employed (Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, etc.).

NEO:6 MUSIC*

This mode gives 6.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The NEO:6 MUSIC mode plays the stereo source as is through the front left/right speakers, and generates a natural, ambient surround and center sound. With sources other than stereo (5.1, etc.) the display will automatically show the type of decoding being employed (Dolby Digital, DTS-ES, etc.).

CLASSICAL

Simulates the acoustic effects of a large concert hall. Suitable for classical music. A long delay time of reflected sounds, coupled with reverb effects, let the listener experience the dynamic and rich sounds characteristic of concert halls and powerful orchestral performances.

CHAMBER

Simulates the acoustic environment of a very resonant concert hall. Rich reverberation and a full sound create the impression of a lively performance space.

JAZZ

Simulates the acoustic effects of a jazz club. Reflected sound is virtually below 100 msec so that the listener can experience a live band effect.

ROCK

Simulates the acoustic effects of a mid-sized concert hall. The listener can experience a live band effect with good separation of the instruments, a strong bass and the vivid feeling of a live performance.

DANCE

Simulates the acoustic effects of a dance club. Features a strong bass sound. Reflected sound delay time is virtually below 50 msec, for the listener to experience the visceral power of dance music.

5/7-CH STEREO

Simulates the acoustic environment of a regular stereo while using all the speakers in the system to induce a rich, all-around sound. The display will change to 5-CH STEREO or 7-CH STEREO according to the SB CH MODE and speaker configuration.

BASIC

When you input a multichannel signal the decoding is done automatically so you cannot choose

these modes.

Basic Operation

Adjusting the Effect of a Listening Mode

The DSP (Digital Signal Processing) listening modes have sound processing added to accentuate a certain kind of atmosphere or effect (see the preceding pages for explanation). You can choose if you want to strengthen or weaken this effect in the given mode. The DSP MOVIE modes are: ACTION, SCI-FI, DRAMA, MUSICAL, MONOFILM, 5/7-D THEATER. The DSP MUSIC modes are: CLASSICAL, CHAMBER, JAZZ, ROCK, DANCE. The following instructions show you how to adjust the amount of effect.

Adding/Adjusting the Effect in Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC Mode

The Dolby Pro Logic II MUSIC mode has three settings you can choose from which adjust the spatial feeling of the surround sound. These settings are best matched to each individual source instead of one setting being left on for all sources. The three settings and how to apply them are explained here. To start this setup select Dolby Pro Logic ll (if necessary) with the MUSIC button.

Press RECEIVER.

Press the EFFECT/CH SEL button repeatedly and select the setting you want. They appear in the receiver’s display.

CENTER WIDTH : With Pro Logic decoding center channel

signals can come only from the center speaker. If no center speaker is present this channel is split between the two front speakers, creating a "phantom" channel. The CENTER WIDTH feature lets you adjust the center channel so it can heard only from the center speaker, only as a "phantom" channel or in varying degrees of both.

DIMENSION: This allows you to adjust the soundfield towards the front or towards the rear of your room.

PANORAMA: This gives the music a wraparound surround feel.

Use the +/– buttons to add or subtract the amount of effect or turn on/off.

CENTER WIDTH : Strengthen or weaken the effect between

0–7. The default is 3. DIMENSION: Move soundfield backward or forward with -3

being the furthest back and +3 being the furthest forward. The default is 0.

PANORAMA: Turn on or off. The default is off.

Channel Step Setting (multi-voltage model only)

The unit has been factory preset to the channel allocation value for the area in which it is to be sold. If this value is set incorrectly, the tunes in frequency may be wrong, or sound may be distorted, resulting in an inability to reproduce reception signals at their proper sound quality. For this reason, be sure to confirm that the values are set correctly before first using the unit.

FM 50 kHz, AM 9 kHz:

Set to this position, for areas with an FM reception step of 50 kHz and AM 9 kHz.

FM 100 kHz, AM 10 kHz:

Set to this position for areas with an FM reception step of 100 kHz and AM 10 kHz.

An introduction to RDS (European model only)

Radio Data System, or RDS as it’s usually known, is a system used by FM radio stations to provide listeners with various kinds of information—the name of the station and the kind of show they’re broadcasting, for example. This information shows up as text on the display, and you can switch between the kind of information shown. Although you don’t get RDS information from all FM radio stations, you do with most. Probably the best feature of RDS is that you can search automatically by type of program. So, if you felt like listening to jazz, you could search for a station that’s broadcasting a show with the program type, JAZZ. There are around 30 such program types, including various genres of music, news, sport, talk shows, financial information, and so on. The receiver lets you display three different kinds of RDS information: Radio Text, Program Service Name, and Program Type. Radio Text (RT) is messages sent by the radio station. These can be anything the broadcaster chooses—a talk radio station might give out it telephone number as RT, for example. Program Service Name (PS) is the name of the radio station. Program Type (PTY) indicates the kind of program currently being broadcast. The receiver can search for and display the following program types:

NEWS News

AFFAIRS Current affairs INFO General information SPORT Sports EDUCATE Educational material DRAMA Radio drama CULTURE Arts and culture SCIENCE Science and technology VARIED Usually talk-based material,

such as quiz shows or interviews

POP M Pop music ROCK M Rock music EASY M “Middle of the road” music LIGHT M ‘Light’ classical music CLASSICS ‘Serious’ classical music OTHER M Other music not fitting any of

the above categories

WEATHER Weather reports FINANCE Finance and business CHILDREN Children’s entertainment SOCIAL Social affairs RELIGION Religious programming PHONE IN Phone-in talk shows TRAVEL Travel LEISURE Leisure interests and hobbies JAZZ Jazz music COUNTRY Country music NATION M Popular music in a language

other than English

OLDIES Popular music from the ’50s FOLK M Folk music DOCUMENT Documentaries

Using the RDS display

To display the different types of RDS information available, press TUNER button on the remote control and use the SUB TITLE button to cycle through the types of RDS information.

Each press changes the display as follows:

R T

memo

P S PTY

FREQ

• If any noise is picked up while displaying the RT scroll, some characters may be displayed incorrectly.

• If you see NO RADIO TEXT DATA in the RT display, it means no RT data is being transmitted from the broadcast station. If you have entered a name for the station, it is displayed instead of RT data. If you haven’t, the display will automatically switch to the PS data display. If no PS data is transmitted from the station, the frequency will be displayed.

• In the PTY display, there are cases where NO DATA or NO TYPE is shown. If this happens, the PS display is shown after a few seconds.

• This unit converts lower case characters transmitted by broadcast station to upper case characters.

BASIC

In addition, there is a program type called ALARM, used for exceptional emergency announcements. You can’t search for this, but the tuner will switch automatically to this RDS broadcast signal.

Using the Tuner

Searching for RDS programs (European model only)

One of the most useful features of RDS is the ability to search for a particular kind of radio program. You can search for any of the program types (listed on page 59).

6 If you want to keep listening to the

station, press ENTER within the 5 seconds.

If you don’t press ENTER, searching resumes. If NO PTY is displayed it means the tuner couldn’t find that program type at the time of the search.

memo

• RDS searches memorized stations only. If no stations have been (see page 59 to do this), NO PTY is displayed.

• FINISH means the search is complete.

Using the Tuner

Basics of EON (Enhanced Other Network information) (European model only)

When EON is turned on, the receiver jumps to an EON-linked broadcast when it begins, even if a receiver function other than the tuner is being used. It cannot be used in areas that EON information is not transmitted and when FM broadcast stations do not transmit PTY data. When the broadcast ends, the tuner returns to the original frequency or function.

There are two types of EON you can set:

1 TA (Traffic Announcement) This mode will set the tuner to pick up traffic information when it’s broadcast.

2 NEWS This mode will set the tuner to pick up news when it is broadcast.

memo

EON does not work when the tuner is in the AM band.

Using EON (European model only)

Use the front panel controls to do this.

Remote Control of Other Components

Setting Up the Remote Control to Control Other Components

In addition to controlling the receiver, the supplied remote control can operate your other components (VCR, TV, DVD, CD, etc.) after you program it to do so. In this way, instead of fumbling with many different controls and buttons, you only need to use one remote control. If your component(s) are listed in the remote control's memory, simply follow the steps below. If your component(s) are not listed, or if you want the remote to learn additional operations, you can use the learning mode to input the information from the remote controls supplied with your other components.

Recalling Settings Stored in the Remote Control

• The first four buttons are dedicated to control the TV assigned to the TV CONT button. Thus if you only have one TV hooked up to this system, assign it to the TV CONT button. If you have two TVs, assign the main TV to the TV CONT button. If you hook up your system this way, the first four TV controls will always be accessible. For example, if you connect your TV to TV monitor, then use TV CONT for your TV. If you connect your TV to input source then use TV.

• Depending on the maker and individual model, there are some buttons that may not be able operate some equipment or may operate it in a different way.

Remote Control of Other Components

Setting up the DIRECT FUNCTION

The direct function will not be necessary for most users. It is designed in case you have an external video source connected to your TV (a video source that is not going through the VSX-D1011). For this explanation we'll call this the external video deck. You'd like to control external video deck with this unit's remote control so you've assigned it a function button (for example purposes, the VCR 2 button). Yet, if you put the receiver in VCR 2 mode you'll get no picture on your TV because the external video deck signal is not going through the VSX-D1011. To get around this problem you set the DIRECT FUNCTION for VCR 2 to OFF. Now when you press VCR 2 function button you can control the external video deck with the remote but the receiver does not go into VCR 2 mode.

memo

• To exit from the remote control setup mode at any time, press REMOTE SETUP.

• The default setting for all DIRECT FUNCTIONs is ON.

While holding down the REMOTE SETUP button press to select the

direct function setup mode.

The LED begins to blink. To cancel the direct function setup mode press REMOTE SETUP.

Press the MULTI CONTROL button of the component whose direct function you want to turn on or off.

The LED lights and remains lit. For example, if you want to turn off direct function for VCR 2, you would press VCR 2.

Set the DIRECT FUNCTION of each external source to OFF by pressing

, ON by pressing .

The LED blinks.

ON: The direct function is on. OFF: The direct function is off.

For example, if you want to turn off direct function for VCR 2, you would press

Using Other Functions

Recording from Audio/Video Components

The following explanations show you how make a recording from one component to another connected to this receiver. Note that an analog recorder (such as a VCR) cannot record from a source that is connected using only a digital connection. Likewise, a digital recorder (such as a CD-R) cannot record digitally from a component that is connected using only analog connections. In both of these cases, make sure that the digital component also has analog connections to the receiver, and that the SIGNAL SELECT is set to ANALOG.

When recording from one digital component to another, bear in mind that the digital signal output from this receiver mirrors the input from the source. So if the input is, say, Dolby Digital, the output will also be Dolby Digital. Before recording, make sure that the recorder is compatible with the source digital audio format.

See page 19 for more on analog audio connections and page 21–22 for digital audio connections.

memo

• The receiver's volume, channel level, balance, TONE, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, ACOUSTIC CAL EQ and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal.

• In some cases, digital recordings have copy guard protections and making a digital copy is not possible. In this case you can only copy them in an analog manner.

• Some video recordings are copy-protected; these sources cannot be recorded.

• When recording video, the source must be connected to the receiver using the same type of video cord (composite, or S video) as you used to connect the recorder to the receiver.

SECOND ZONE (Speaker System B)/FRONT BI-AMP Setup

Stereo playback in another room (SECOND ZONE)

This setup enables you to listen to a pair of stereo speakers independently of the main speaker system hooked up to the receiver. You can choose SECOND ZONE, and use the speakers hooked up to the surround back terminals as a B speaker system, that is, playing the same source as the main speaker system but from independent stereo speakers.

Connect a pair of speakers to the surround back speaker terminals.

Select SECOND ZONE in the SURRBACK SYSTEM setup (see page 35) setup.

memo

Please use speakers with a nominal impedance rated 8 Ω-16 Ω.

Bi-amping the front speakers (FRONT BI-AMP)

For bi-amp playback you can connect both the A and B speaker terminals to your front speakers. To do this your speakers must be bi-wireable (that is they must have separate terminals for the high and low frequencies). Bi-amping delivers more power to the front speakers, but disables the surround back speakers, so you will be limited to 5.1 channel playback.

Caution!

Most speakers with both HI and LOW terminals have two metal plates that connect the HI 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.

Caution!

Do not allow any speaker wire from any terminal to touch a wire from a different terminal.

FRONT Speaker rear side

Connect your speakers as shown.

Since both Front A and B speaker terminals output the same audio, it doesn’t matter which set (A or B) is powering which part (HI or LOW) of the speaker.

Select FRONT BI-AMP in the SURRBACK SYSTEM setup (see page 35).

The surround back channel amplifier is now used to power the B set of speaker terminals and the A+B (SP3AB) speaker setting is automatically selected. The speaker setting in this case can only be A+B or OFF.

Multi Operations

Multi operations allow you to tell the receiver and your other components to do a number of things with the push of only two buttons on the remote control (see "Performing Multi Operations" on the next page). For example, you can program the unit to turn on your TV, turn on your DVD player and start playing the loaded DVD. This allows you to freely decide which operations you want performed as well as the order in which you want them performed. The steps below show you how to program a string of up to 5 different operations for each MULTI CONTROL button. You don't need to program the power of this receiver (or any PIONEER component used) to go on, it (or they) will do so automatically when multi operations are performed.

memo

• Be sure to set up each component before programming multi operations (see “Setting Up the Remote Control to Control Other Components", pages 63–64).

Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver divides the high and low sounds (the frequencies) between the speakers. Certain bass sounds will play back from the subwoofer if you selected it as YES (or PLUS) or from the front speakers if you selected them as LARGE. This setting decides where the cutoff will be between those bass sounds playing back from the speaker selected as above and the bass sounds for the entire soundtrack, which play back from all speakers used. If all speakers are set to LARGE (see pages 37–38) this setup is unnecessary.

Fine Tuning Your System

FINE CHANNEL LEVEL

The following steps show you how to balance the sound output level of your speakers more finely than in the NORMAL setup (see page 36). Proper speaker balance is essential for obtaining high quality surround sound and the better the speaker balance the better surround sound you can get. Do this procedure if you want to try and get even finer surround sound. The main difference with this setup method and the CHANNEL LEVEL setup method in NORMAL setup is that here the test tone alternates between the front left speaker (which is used as the reference channel) and the target speaker (that is, the speaker whose level you want to adjust). Listen to the two tones and try to make them the same volume.

Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an effective surround sound effect. Do this procedure if you want to try and get even finer surround sound. The main difference with this setup method and the CHANNEL DELAY setup method in NORMAL setup is that here the test tone sounds from a reference channel and you use that to measure the target speaker (that is, the speaker whose level you want to adjust).

DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL

This feature makes it possible to enjoy full surround sound effects on Dolby Digital and DTS sources even at low volumes. It does this by compressing the dynamic range. Dynamic range is the difference between the loudest and the softest sounds in any given signal. Compressing the range plays sounds so the quieter ones are audible and the louder ones don’t get distorted or become overpowering. This feature only applies to Dolby Digital and DTS sources but the MIDNIGHT mode (explained on page 48) accomplishes the same end for a variety of sources. If continuing from BASS PEAK LEVEL, DYNAMIC RANGE CONTROL should be selected.

Dolby

Dolby Digital

Dolby Digital is a discrete digital surround format used for multichannel surround sound. It was developed after the Dolby Surround system and Dolby Pro Logic Surround system. Dolby Digital is a high quality digital sound format that is used by many theatrical film releases.

Soundtracks using linear PCM audio generate too much

5.1 channel

Dolby Digital for movie

Dialog Normalization

When a Dolby Digital soundtrack is played back the Dialog Normalization function of the receiver activates automatically. Dialog Normalization is a Dolby Digital function that establishes the average dialog level for the program source being played. If the receiver's level does not match the average dialog level, first you see "DIAL NORM" and "OFFSET +4 dB" (as an example) appear in the receiver's display. In this example, the number +4 dB is the difference between the receiver's gain structure and the Dolby Digital average dialog level. To match the average dialog level, subtract or add the OFFSET level. For example, if the OFFSET level is +4 dB, the amplifier's output is 4 dB over the average recorded level.

Dolby Pro Logic II

Dolby Pro Logic II is an improved version of Dolby Pro Logic technology with extended matrix decoding technology that can create 5.1 channel sound from two channel sources. Dolby Pro Logic II creates basic 5 channel sound by using the innovative "steering logic" circuit. Therefore when listening to typical two-channel sources like CD, the listener can enjoy a richer spatial effect. When using software encoded with Dolby Surround, this decoding system affords the listener an improved surround experience with greater sound detail.

data for multichannel use. Dolby Digital technology was developed in response to the need for efficient multichannel digital sound. It uses masking technology and Adaptive Transform Coding, resulting in no audible loss of sound quality. In the present age of digital sound Dolby Digital is a standard audio format for DVD and has been adopted by HDTV broadcasts throughout the USA.

Other features include:

1) Downmixing on playback for compatibility with mono, stereo, Dolby Pro Logic and 5.1 channel audio.

2) A wide range of bitrates and channels.

3) Decoding dynamic range information and adjusting the dialog level in the soundtrack (called Dialog Normalization, see below for more information).

The advantages of the Dolby Digital system of encoding allow it to maintain its high quality sound while at the same time being very flexible, with the ability to handle many different types of soundtracks.

This unit has a three Dolby Pro Logic II functions. The first is "MOVIE Mode" (suitable for film soundtracks); "MUSIC Mode" (suitable for music); "Pro Logic Mode" (this mode is less sensitive to the quality of the source material, so may be useful when MOVIE Mode or MUSIC Mode do not give good results). One can select one of them depending on your soundtrack of choice.

Dolby Digital Surround EX

This new recording technology is able to play 6.1 channel sound and was developed in a collaboration between Dolby Laboratories and Lucasfilm, Ltd. for the film "Stars Wars: The First Episode", the first movie ever to be made with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology. In a movie theater this format affords the listener vivid surround sound experience replete with the effect of sounds flying overhead, even for those seated towards the sides of the theater. Dolby Digital Surround EX contains surround back channels which are dubbed into the soundtrack in the studio. The channels are encoded into the left and right channels of the soundtrack so this format can be compatible with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel decoding. For a list of movies that contain Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks see Dolby website at: http://www.dolby.com THX Surround EX technology was developed for movie theater use originally but has been extended for home theater use and consumers can no benefit from this excellent, realistic sound format. (For more details see "THX Surround EX" on the next page.) This unit is equipped with a THX Surround EX decoder.

DTS

DTS has been adopted as a sound recording format in the movie theaters since the release of “JURASSIC

PARK” in 1993, and has a good reputation for high quality sound and dynamic surround effects. In this system, 6 channels of digital sound are recorded on CD-ROM. DTS adopts a simultaneous playback format. With a low rate of compression of sound signals and a high rate of transmittance, a higher sound quality format is produced. For this reason, the format is being introduced in more and more movie theaters, and is being adopted for home use as DTS Digital Surround. When used with movies it's called DTS-LD DVD and for music software (5.1 channel CD) as DTS-CD.

DTS-ES

DTS launched a new surround format in November 2000. This has come to be known as DTS Extended Surround or simply DTS-ES. The technology has been advanced to include two new home formats DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 format, and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 ch format, both are able to playback discrete, 6.1-channel content from DVDs and CDs. Both of these formats are compatible with a conventional DTS 5.1 ch decoder. In this system each channel is encoded and decoded individually, adding to the separation of the channels. Since DTS adds a third surround channel, the surround back channel, the realism and all-encompassing nature of the sound reaches levels not seen before in home theater. This unit is equipped with a DTS-ES decoder.

DTS Neo:6

This is a matrix decoding technology that transforms two-channel sources into 6.0 channel surround sound. There are two modes, CINEMA MODE and MUSIC MODE.

DTS 96/24

This high-quality format will be used for software which will be available from November, 2001. For compatibility with equipment that was produced before this format was made, DVD players can play this software using a conventional DTS 5.1ch decoder. This unit is equipped with a DTS 96 kHz/24 bit decoder to take advantage of the higher sound quality available.

THX

THX is a Lucasfilm, Ltd. program dedicated to maximum accuracy in movie presentation. Movie sound tracks are recorded in large movie dubbing stages using movie theater equipment. For a sound track to be presented accurately in your home, special technologies are required. In your home the room is much smaller and has a bright sound, the speakers are very different and there are only six-eight of them, plus, you sit much closer to each one of those speakers. Because of these differences we often miss the power and emotion that thrills us in a good movie. Now Pioneer and THX have teamed up to bring the full glory of accurate cinema sound to the comfort and convenience of your home.

Re-Equalization™ : In a theater the room is very large and dead sounding, you sit a long way back from the speakers and the speakers themselves are very specialized. Because a sound track recorded in this dead sounding space when it is played at home it sounds overbright. THX Re-Equalization adjusts for this difference in a very precise way.

Adaptive Decorrelation™ : When a sound track sends mono sound to the surround speakers it often seems to be coming come from one side instead of from all around you as it would in a theater. Adaptive Decorrelation helps to correct this inaccuracy.

Timbre Matching™ : When recording a sound track it is very important that the surround sounds move smoothly and seamlessly around the theater. It is very distracting when sounds seem to jump from speaker to speaker. Timbre Matching helps to smooth the movement of the surround sounds even though you are using only two speakers.

Bass Peak Level Manager™ : Some Dolby Digital sound tracks can produce bass peaks that are undesirable in a home theater environment. The Bass Peak Level Manager allows you to set the maximum peak levels appropriate to your system. (Set this function according to the Bass Peak Level instructions on page 89.)

Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronization™ : This feature allows you to adjust for the difference in the distance from each individual loudspeaker to the listening position. Doing this ensures that all the speakers operate in precise synchronization improving the seamless nature of the soundfield. (Set this function according to the Channel Delay instructions on page 40 and the Fine Channel Delay instructions on page 85–86.)



THX Surround EX™ : THX Surround EX–Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX division of Lucasfilm Ltd.

In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before.

When released to the home consumer market, movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at

Only receiver and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.

This product may also engage the "THX Surround EX" mode during the playback of 5.1 channel material that is

Dolby Digital Surround EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround Back channel will

not

be program dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual listener.

Speaker Placement Information

Placement of your speakers is a crucial aspect of attaining accurate and realistic surround sound. Certain pointers concerning speakers stands, direction, angle and distance of speakers will be useful in this regard. Firstly, it is best not to put your speakers directly on the floor. If you do this some of the sound vibration (especially bass) will go directly into the flooring and be lost. Instead we recommend using extremely hard objects (like cinder blocks) or designated speaker stands to support your speakers. Avoid placing the speakers on soft (like cushions or sofas) as these will also lead to sound loss and unstable surfaces (like flimsy shelving) as they may cause speaker accidents. In order to achieve a surround sound effect, make sure the speakers are a reasonable distance from your main listening position. Follow the diagrams and instructions below for optimum placement of each set of speakers.

Preset Code List

You should have no problem controlling a component if you find the manufacturer in this list, but you can only set these codes for the button that is assigned to that component. So, for example, the TV codes can only be set to the TV/SAT or TV CONT button. Please note that there are cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code, or the codes for the manufacturer in the list will not work for the model that you are using. If you can’t find a preset code that matches the component you want to control, you can still teach the remote individual commands from another remote control (page 64).

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. Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Investigate the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

Symptom Cause Remedy

Power

The power does not turn on.

During loud playback the power suddenly switches off.

The unit does not respond when the buttons are pressed.

During operation, the unit suddenly switches off.

AMP ERR blinks in the display and the unit turns off. The STANDBY indicator will blink and the unit cannot be turned on.

FAN STOP blinks in the display and the unit turns off.

OVERHEAT blinks in the display and no sound is output.

THDCT NG blinks in the display and the unit turns off.

• The power plug is disconnected.

• The protection circuit may have been

activated.

• The protection circuit has been activated because the lowest actual impedance of the speakers (as opposed to the speakers’ rated impedance) is dangerously low.

• Static electricity caused by dry air.

• The speaker wires are frayed or sticking

out of the jack, and are touching the back of the receiver or another set of wires.

• The receiver probably has a serious problem.

• Something is stuck in the fan and/or the fan is broken.
