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).

Universal Player Compatibility (DVD Audio/Super

This receiver incorporates the latest technology and is able to handle cutting edge audio formats, like DVD Audio
and Super Audio CD (SACD) which are just hitting the market. Its high compatibility offers a variety of inputs to
decode all types of sources at the highest possible quality. The receiver’s multichannel input connections lets you
hook up eight discrete channels of audio.

Audio CD [SACD]

Audio Scaler (HI BIT/HI SAMPLING)

This new technology enables the user to hear CD and DVD, as well as other soundtracks at a wider dynamic
range, allowing for finer audio reproduction. This Audio Scaler approximates the audio of high end formats just
becoming available now.

Easy-to-use Remote Control

This new remote control is extremely convenient to use. One button is dedicated to one task in the control of the
receiver, eliminating confusing buttons whose purpose are unclear. In addition, this remote can be used to
operate a variety of other components simply by recalling the appropriate setup codes.

The Energy-saving Design

The European model is designed to use 0.7 W of energy when the receiver is in standby mode, while the multi­voltage model is designed to use 0.9 W.

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.

1 Hooking Up Your DVD Player & TV

11

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.

2 Speaker Connections

22

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.

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

• When you attached your speaker wire to the speaker terminal make sure that not even one strand
of wire touches the back of the receiver. If this happens it could short out the receiver.

1

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

are switched ON.

2

Press the DVD/LD button on the remote control.

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

3

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.

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 Analog Audio Components

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

Connect your audio components to the jacks as shown below. These are all analog connections and your
analog audio components (turntable, cassette deck) use these jacks. Remember that for components you
want to record with you need to hook up four plugs (a set of stereo ins and a set of stereo outs), but for
components that only play (like a turntable) you only need to hook up one set of stereo plugs (two plugs).
If you want to record to/from digital components (like a CD-R) to/from analog components you must hook
up your digital equipment with these analog connections.

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

Connecting the Radio Antennas

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

Connect the supplied FM wire antenna and the AM loop antenna to the ANTENNA terminals as shown
below. These antennas should provide adequate reception quality in most cases, but connecting outdoor
antennas should noticeably improve sound quality.

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.

Speaker impedance

You can change the speaker impedance for VSX-D1011 but we recommend using speakers with an
impedance of 8 Ω-16 Ω (the default setting). If you are using 6 Ω- less than 8 Ω impedance speakers, you
need to change the impedance setting. Use any speaker rated between 6 Ω-16 Ω.

STANDBY/ON

SPEAKERS

First put the receiver in STANDBY mode, then
press the power button while holding down the
SPEAKERS button.

The receiver will reset to the new impedance
setting. With this method you can choose the 8 Ω-

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.

•

DO NOT CONNECT A MONITOR OR TV SET TO THIS UNIT’S AC OUTLET.
