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-D2011 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-D2011 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 "Auto Surround 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 46–48).

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.

Page 10

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 23. 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. It is important that you hook up your TV (or monitor) in order to see a video image as well as the on screen displays (OSDs) shown by this receiver (for more on this see page16).

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

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 done automatically by following the AUTO SURROUND SOUND 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 108–109 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.

1 AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP

If setting up your surround sound speakers seems like it's going to be an involved task you only need to use this quick, automatic method, known as the MCACC system, to achieve good surround sound. You'll need to hook up the microphone so that the receiver can hear and judge the distance, size, sound character and sound pressure level of the speakers and thus know what settings to make. First turn the volume down, then plug the

microphone into the SETUP MIC jack on the front panel of the

receiver and put the microphone into its stand. If you have a tripod you can affix the mic stand to it. Follow the step-by-step guide to setting up your surround sound below. This will customize the surround sound for your listening environment. If you want to personalize your surround sound setups by making the settings manually go to "Setting up for Surround Sound" (starting on page 36) and "Expert setup" (starting on page 95). Make sure all the components you need, especially speakers, have been properly connected before you do the steps described here. Use the arrow buttons (5∞) and the ENTER button on the remote control to navigate the on-screen display (OSD) on your TV. Conversely, you can use the MULTI JOG dial and ENTER button, and look at the display, on the Front Panel.

After it has finished, you see the SPEAKER SYSTEMS CHECK screen. If you want to view the settings select NEXT and press ENTER repeatedly. If not, simply go to step 13.

If they do not match the speaker configuration you hooked up and you want to try again select RETRY with 5∞ buttons and press ENTER. Follow the instructions above from step 10.

If you get an error message instructing you to do something, follow the instructions and RETRY with 5∞ buttons and press ENTER.

If the speaker settings do not match the speaker configuration you connected and you want to input the settings manually select ERR=FIX SP with the 5∞ buttons, press ENTER. Go to step 12.

If you see an ERR message 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.

Page 15

Easy Setup Guide Part2

memo

• Make sure the room environment follows the guidelines displayed on the OSD during auto setup. If the room environment is not optimal for auto setup (too much ambient noise, obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone, etc.) 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.

• Screens will turn off after three minutes and the receiver will automatically exit from the setup process.

• If you leave CHECK!! or other error message on the screen for three minutes, or you choose CANCEL at anytime during the setup, the settings made up to that point will be cleared.

• After completing the AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP, ACOUSTIC CAL EQ ON (ALL CH ADJUST) is set automatically.

• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this is the case turn the TV off when doing AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP.

Use the ∞5 buttons to select a speaker press ENTER. Then use the ∞5 buttons to select the size of each speaker individually. Press ENTER. Use the ∞5 buttons to select OK and press ENTER.

The system will output another series of test tones to establish the proper channel level, channel delay and acoustic calibration EQ. Again, be prepared for loud test tones.

After it has finished, you see the SPEAKER SYSTEMS CHECK screen. If you want to view the settings select NEXT and press ENTER repeatedly. If not, simply go to the next step.

Select RETURN and press ENTER to go back to the SYSTEM SETUP menu. Then choose EXIT to complete the auto surround sound setup and return to normal use.

You should now have settings that will give you good surround sound. The MCACC indicator will light and the surround sound settings are complete.

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

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

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

To get a more refined sound, make the sound settings in "Expert setup" (see page 95).

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 component video, 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 component video cords hook up your TV with them as well but in this case you must also hook up your TV with composite video or S video cords because you won't be able to see the receiver's on-screen displays with a component video hook up. Composite video cords, which look just like regular RCA audio cords (see page 20) but have only one cable are the most common.

In order to set up the receiver use MONITOR OUT 1 so that you can see the onscreen displays.

S VIDEO

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

Green

Blue

Red

The video signal is

divided into the luminance (Y) signal and

the color (PB and PR) signals. In this way,

interference between the signals is avoided.

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 20). 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.

Component Video Input Default Settings

If you use component video cords to hook up your video equipment it is easiest to do so following the default settings, which are listed below. Remember you must use component video cords from your video source (for example, a DVD player) to the receiver and from the receiver to your TV (or monitor). If you don't follow the default settings below you must assign the inputs you used with the "Assigning the Component Video Inputs" procedure. See page 92 to do this.

The default settings are:

COMPONENT VIDEO IN 1: DVD/LD COMPONENT VIDEO IN 2: TV/SAT

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 component video, 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 pages 22 & 23). 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 hook up your DVD/LD player using component video cable connections you might need to setup your DVD player for component video output as well. See your DVD manual for details. If you have a DVDAudio or Super Audio CD (SACD) compatible player, see "Connecting to the Multi Channel Analog Inputs" on page 21.

You need to hook up your audio with analog connections as well. *The arrows indicate the direction of the signal.

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-D2011 has two coaxial and two optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs on the rear panel plus one digital input on the front panel. 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 91.

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 20) 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

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 page 27 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.

PREPARATION

memo

Surround

speaker

(Left)

• 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 26).

• 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-D2011 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 re-set to the new impedance setting. With this method you can choose the 8 Ω- 16 Ω setting or the 6 Ω-8 Ω setting.

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 108 & 109. 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

PREPARATION

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.

Setting Up for Surround Sound

To ensure the best possible surround sound, complete the following setup operations. Some of these are the same (and take precedence over) the settings you made in the Easy Setup Guide, so consider if the ones you made at that time were adequate. If you feel they were, move on to the next setting in this section. These setup operations use on-screen displays (OSDs) on your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and receiver are properly hooked up and that your TV is set to this receiver. You need to connect the setup mic to the front panel of the receiver so that it can measure the sound and ensure the proper settings. For more information on the mic hookup see page 13.

NORMAL setup

This is the manual method to setup your sound parameters for surround sound. It is more exact than the QUICK setup and should give you finer surround sound. You don’t need to do this, however, if you did the AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP method on pages 13-15. If you feel the settings in the AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP do not suit your personal tastes, the settings you input here will override them and allow you to adjust the parameters manually. AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP with the microphone may not properly assess the size of your speakers if there is background noise, from an air conditioner or refrigerator, for example. If necessary try different possible settings here. You only need to do these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new speakers, etc.).

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 39.

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 37, 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 speaker, make sure to hook it 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.

The safest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.

Adding a slight delay to some speakers is necessary to achieve proper sound depth, separation as well as an effective surround sound effect. You need to figure out the distance from your listening position to your speakers to add the proper delay. The following steps show you how to set the delay time for each channel by specifying the distances from your listening position to each speaker. Once you specify the speaker distances (or it is done automatically in the Easy Setup Guide Part 2), the receiver calculates the correct delay times automatically.

Basic Operation

Switching ANALOG/DIGITAL Signal Input

This button selects the type of input signal, ANALOG or DIGITAL, sent to the receiver. You need to take special care to switch to the appropriate input when necessary. For example, the switch would have to be on DIGITAL to hear digital sources like Dolby Digital or DTS but it would have to be on analog to record from the ANALOG out jacks on the receiver. The default setting is AUTO (which chooses digital over analog when both are available but goes with whatever is available) for: DVD/LD, TV/SAT, VIDEO, CD, CDR/TAPE1. The default setting is ANALOG for: VCR1/DVR, VCR2, MD/TAPE2, TUNER, PHONO. The default setting is DIGITAL for USB.

• When DIGITAL signal is selected, 2 DIGITAL lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input; DTS lights when a DTS signal is input.

• If no digital inputs are assigned (see page 91) 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 22 & 23) and set SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO or DIGITAL.

• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.

• This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz sampling frequency), and DTS digital signal formats. If your source is not one of these select ANALOG for playback.

Listening Modes

The three listening mode types on the receiver are explained here (to select listening modes see page 44). 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 when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO.

Page 47

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 50).

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

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

BASIC

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

these modes.

Page 48

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.

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

these modes.

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.

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.

memo

When unsure about the channel allocation for your area, consult your dealer for correct information.

To Change Channel Steps

1 Turn the power off (standby mode). 2 While holding down the TONE – button press the STANDBY/ON button. 3 When you see STEP 9K/50K or STEP 10K/100K appear in the display. To change channel steps again

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 DISPMODE 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.

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.

Page 63

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 62).

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.

Clearing all stations from the RDS or EON search (European model only)

The receiver will automatically register an identifying marker (called a PI code) for any station you input into the memory classes which can receive RDS or EON data. If you want to remove the currently memorized stations from RDS and EON searches, you can do it by erasing the PI codes.

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 following steps show you how to recall the setting stored in the remote control. Once a setting is recalled and the component assigned, you can use this remote to easily operate the component.

memo

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

• See "Using Remote Control with Other Components" on pages 70 and 71 to operate your other components.

• The display will disappear after one minute or so if no new commands are entered. Press any button to wake up the remote and continue the process.

Remote Control of Other Components

Point the remote control at the component you want set and press ENTER.

If the component you are trying to control turns on/off you have set it correctly. Use the 5∞ buttons to select YES and go on to step 7.

If the component you are trying to control does not turn on/

DISC

off the correct preset code has not been selected. In this case, use the 5∞ buttons to select NO, press ENTER and go back to step 5. Try another preset code for that maker. (If the component you are trying to setup doesn't have a standby/on mode it won't turn on even if the correct preset

code is entered. In this case select YES and go on to step

7.)

If you can't seem to get the component you are trying to set to turn on or off you can still set up your remote control by using the LEARNING mode (on the next page).

Press ENTER. The preset code has been entered.

COMPLETE will appear in the display.

Naturally it's easiest and most logical to assign the button that has the same name as the component you are setting up (for example, choose the DVD/LD button for your DVD player).

You may find you have components which do not correspond to the name on any MULTI CONTROL button (for example a cable TV tuner) or you have two components where only one button is provided (for example, CD-R/TAPE

1). In this case, use step 3 to assign any available MULTI CONTROL button to the component you want to remote control. For example, you may have both a CD-R and a tape deck in your system but only one video deck. It would make sense to assign the CD-R/TAPE 1 MULTI CONTROL button to the CD-R and the VCR 2 MULTI CONTROL button to your tape deck. To do this choose VCR 2 in step 3 when you want to set up the tape deck. Then choose TAPE in step 4 and proceed as above. The only practical difference in this method is that you have to remember the VCR 2 MULTI CONTROL button is actually your tape deck.

In this case, you would need to hook up your tape deck to the input jacks marked VCR 2 on the back of the receiver.

This method should help you customize the remote control for your system and let you control all of your components with the remote control for the VSX-D2011.

Repeat the process from step 2 for all of your components.

Select EXIT and press ENTER.

• 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-D2011). 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-D2011. 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.

Press the REMOTE SETUP button for three seconds.

The REMOTE SETUP menu appears on the remote display.

Use the 5∞ buttons to select DIRCTFNC and press ENTER.

SELECT FUNCTION will flash in the remote control display.

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

DIRECTFUNC appears on the remote control display.

Use the 5∞ buttons to select ON,

OFF, or EXIT and press ENTER.

ON: The direct function is on. OFF: The direct function is off. EXIT: Leaves the DIRECT FUNCTION settings and

returns you to the REMOTE SETUP menu. After you press ENTER, if you chose one of the first two settings, COMPLETE will appear in the display.

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 20 for more on analog audio connections and pages 22–23 for digital audio connections.

memo

• The receiver's volume, channel level, balance, TONE, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, ACOUSTIC EQ and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal, except in PHONO. Thus when recording in PHONO function DIRECT is best used.

• 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 37) 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.

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 37).

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.

Setting up and Using the USB Audio Connection

The USB Audio Connection feature allows you hook up a PC to this receiver. In this way you can hear soundtracks from your computer. To use this feature follow the steps below. A few points to remember when hooking up this receiver to a computer: the USB drive is bus powered, which means a power current is inherent in the connection. Thus you don't need to have the receiver on when doing the setup below (you can if you want). The USB port can only receive 2 channel soundtracks. USB device controls on the computer (such as volume) may or may not work. In either case, we recommend leaving all volume controls on max and controlling the volume from the receiver. For explanation purposes we will use Windows operating system (OS) but the USB drive can also be use with WindowsR 2000, WindowsR Me, Windows 98 SE, and WindowsR 98. The specific setups of those operating systems will be slightly different than that of XP.

Some operating systems may or may not work with this USB port. If the computer was previously running quit all applications.

Install the USB drivers by following the instructions on your PC monitor.

Your PC should automatically recognize the new USB connection and a dialog box concerning USB devices should open on your computer. For some operating systems you may need to load the system CD-ROM and install the USB driver. Follow the directions in the dialog box to install the USB driver. For Windows cally and no dialog box will appear. For all operating systems do step 4 to make sure installation was done properly.

Check to see if the drivers are correctly installed.

If the installation was successful "USB Audio Device" will appear in three computer menus, 1) in Sound, Video & Game Controllers, 2) in Universal Serial Bus Controllers and 3) in USB Compatible Device. To find these menus follow the path below (assuming none of these standard OS menus have been moved or deleted).

Remote Control

• You can also control PIONEER components (and those made by other manufacturers) by pointing the receiver's remote control directly at the respective component. This type of operation does not require control cords. All you have to do is recall the appropriate stored settings (see pages 66–67).

• If you use a remote control hooked up via the CONTROL IN jack with a control cord, you won't be able to use this unit's remote control.

• If you use this feature make sure an analog (audio and/or video) connection has been made between the units.

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.

Other System Settings

These settings are more advanced. Some could add depth or listenability to your sound (like the THX CINEMA setup) and others are for your convenience (like the FUNCTION RENAME). You can decide if you want to make these settings or not. They are not crucial to good surround sound. You only need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system, add new speakers or components to your system, etc.). These setup operations use your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and receiver are properly hooked up.

THX CINEMA Setup (page 90)

This setup lets you choose which decoding method the receiver will use for THX CINEMA.

INPUT ASSIGN (pages 91-92)

If you hook up your digital components in a different way than the default settings you need to tell the receiver how you hooked them up so the names on the remote control and front panel match your home setup. Do this with the DIGITAL–IN SELECT setup. Also, if you hooked up video devices with component video cable you need to tell the receiver which devices are hook up in this way. Do this with the COMPONENT–IN SELECT setup.

FUNCTION RENAME (page 93)

This feature allows you to change the names that appear in the receiver display to reflect what you have connected.

CROSSOVER NETWORK

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 40–41) this setup is unnecessary.

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 42). 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.

FINE CHANNEL DELAY

The following steps show you how to adjust the delay level of your speakers more finely than in the NORMAL setup (see page 43). 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).

ACOUSTIC CAL EQ

This setting is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers and is set automatically if you did the AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP (see pages 13–15), which we strongly recommend. It balances the frequency response between your speakers. In order to follow the instructions in this section you should have done AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP on pages 13–15. This receiver lets you choose between two types of ACOUSTIC CAL EQ equalizer curves: ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN, with the former equalizing the speakers individually and the latter equalizing the speakers in accordance with the front speakers. Features here allow you to put in your own equalizer preferences. To do this use the DATA COPY feature to copy the settings in ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN modes and paste them into CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2. You then choose between the ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN types of curves and increase the amount of a certain frequency in each speaker in accordance with your preferences. When you playback a source you can choose CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 to apply your preferences to playback. When setting up using the ALL CH ADJUST mode you can adjust each speaker individually. With the FRONT ALIGN mode the front speakers will serve as the reference so you cannot adjust them. The DATA CHECK feature allows you to see how the settings in ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN currently stand. When you use ACOUSTIC CAL EQ function (see page 50) you can toggle between the two basic settings, ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN, and the variations you set yourself, CUSTOM 1 and CUSTOM 2.

no one who will be scared, upset or damaged by loud noise is present. You yourself may want to wear earplugs.

Here the terms ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN represent two types of equalizer methods that emphasize different characteristics of the sound.

ALL CH ADJUST: In this method all the speakers (except for the subwoofer) are independent. The settings that were input when you did the AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP (see pages 13-15) will be present but you can adjust each speaker individually to suit your taste. The test tones for each channel will sound individually.

FRONT ALIGN: In this method all speakers (except for the subwoofer) are set in accordance with the settings of the FRONT speakers. The settings that were input when you did the AUTO SURROUND SOUND SETUP (see pages 13-15) will be present but you can adjust each speaker individually to suit your taste. This setting allows the listener to enjoy a sound balance defined by the front speakers. The front left speaker will serve as the reference tone. The front left tone and the target speaker (the one you are trying to adjust) will sound in turns, so you can judge which needs to be louder.
