Want You  
LISTENING  
For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a  
lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from  
loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this  
manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s  
ConsumerElectronicsGrouprecommendyouavoidprolonged  
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is  
included for your protection.  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just  
purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now  
it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and  
excitementyourequipment offers. Thismanufacturerandthe  
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics  
Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by  
playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through  
loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion-and,  
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.  
Decibel  
Level Example  
30  
40  
50  
60  
70  
80  
Quiet library, soft whispers  
Livingroom,refrigerator,bedroomawayfromtraffic  
Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office  
Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine  
Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant  
Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock  
at two feet.  
Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort  
level” adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds  
“normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.  
Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level  
BEFORE your hearing adapts.  
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE  
DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE  
To establish a safe level:  
90  
100  
120  
140  
180  
Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower  
Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill  
Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap  
Gunshot blast, jet plane  
÷ Start your volume control at a low setting.  
÷ Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably  
and clearly, and without distortion.  
Rocket launching pad  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
÷ Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing  
damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening  
for a lifetime.

2 Connecting Up  
The front and center speakers supplied with this system  
are magnetically shielded. However, placing them  
extremely close to a television may result in color  
distortion on the screen. If this happens, move the  
speakers a little further away and switch off the  
television for 1530 minutes.  
Do not connect any of the supplied speakers to any  
other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.  
This DVD receiver has been designed for best perfor-  
mance when connected to the supplied speakers. We do  
not, therefore, recommend that you connect and use  
other speakers with this system.  
The rear speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically  
shielded, so they should not be placed near a TV or  
monitor.  
Placing the speakers  
Where you put your speakers in the room has a big  
effect on the quality of the sound. The following  
guidelines should help you to get the best sound from  
your system.  
Wall mounting the rear speaker system  
Before mounting  
The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally,  
Remember that this speaker system is heavy and  
the other speakers should be at about ear-level when  
youre listening to them. Putting the speakers on the  
floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very  
high on a wall is not recommended.  
that its weight may cause the wood screw to work loose  
or the wall to fail to support it, in which case the  
speaker system may fall on the floor. This is extremely  
dangerous. Make absolutely sure that the wall is sturdy  
enough to support the weight of the speaker system. Do  
not mount it on plywood boards or soft-surface walls.  
The mounting screws are not included with this  
unit. Please find the correct screws for your  
application.  
For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2–  
3m (69ft.) apart.  
The rear speakers should not be further away from  
your listening position than the front speakers.  
The center speaker should be as close as possible to  
the TV screen so that movie dialog is localized properly.

Your listening position  
If you are unsure of the qualities and strength of the  
walls, consult a professional for advice.  
If you install the center speaker on top of your TV, be  
sure to secure it with tape or by some other suitable  
means. An unsecured speaker may fall from the TV due  
to external shocks such as earthquakes, endangering  
those nearby or damaging the speaker.  
PIONEER is not responsible for any accidents or  
damage that result from improper installation.

connect the VIDEO OUT jack to a video  
input on your TV.  
Alternatively, you can use an S-Video cable (not  
supplied) to connect the S-VIDEO OUT jack to an S-  
Video input on your TV. S-Video should give you better  
picture quality than using the standard VIDEO OUT.  
See S-Video Out on page 36 for how to change the  
S-Video setting between S1 and S2 format.  
2 Optionally: Use a stereo audio cord to  
connect the audio outs of your TV (or  
VCR) to the TV/VCR IN jacks.  
This will enable you to hear the TV (or VCR) sound  
through this system.  
If you want to connect both your TV and VCR, use  
the TV/VCR IN jacks for one and the AUX IN jacks for  
the other.  
Placing the main unit too close to your TV may cause  
interference, especially if youre using an indoor  
antenna. If you notice interference, move the unit away  
from the TV.

The supplied antennas provide a simple way to listen to  
AM and FM radio. If you find that reception quality is  
poor, an outdoor antenna should give you better sound  
qualitysee Connecting external antennas below for  
more on how to do this.  
The signal earth (H) is designed to reduce noise that  
occurs when an antenna is connected. It is not an  
electrical safety earth.

Switching on and setting the clock  
This system has a built-in clock, which needs to be set  
to be able to use the timer features.  
Setting up for surround sound  
You can use this system right out of the box for  
surround sound with just the default settings. However,  
for really great surround sound, we recommend that  
you spend a few minutes making some settings that  
match this system to your listening room. Unless you  
change the layout of your speakers or main listening  
position, you only need to make most of these settings  
once.

The default setting is 3m. You can adjust the range  
from 0.3m to 9.0m in steps of 0.3m.

5 Use the 5 and buttons to set the  
distance from your main listening posi-  
tion to the center speaker.  
The default setting is 3m. You can adjust the range

See page 23 for more on surround modes.

level of a speaker as the test tone plays.  
For best results, sit in your main listening position when  
doing this. You can adjust each speaker in the range of  
+/-10dB.  
You cant make these settings with the Record mode on.  
See page 25 for how to switch the Record mode on/off.  
5 When you're done, press TEST TONE  
(SHIFT & CH LEVEL) to turn off the test  
tone.  
Balancing the surround sound  
You can further improve surround sound performance  
by balancing the levels from the subwoofer, center and  
surround speakers relative to the front left/right  
speakers. To help you judge the sound level of each  
speaker a test tone is played through each speaker in  
turn (make sure that there are no headphones  
connected). Adjust the levels until they all sound equal.  
The levels you set here will apply to all surround modes.  
However, you can set levels independently for each DSP  
mode.

Saving station presets  
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's  
convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for  
easy recall whenever you want to listen to that station.  
This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time.  
This system can save up to 30 station presets. When  
saving FM frequencies, the receiver also saves the mono  
setting (see Improving FM stereo sound above).  
If the system is left disconnected from the AC power  
outlet for a lengthy period, the station presets will be lost  
and will have to be reprogrammed.

Using Surround Sound

Adjusting the bass and treble  
The simplest way to shape the sound is by adjusting the  
amount of bass and treble.  
Using sound modes  
The sound modes allow you to add various surround  
and room-type sound effects to your DVDs, CDs and  
other sources. These effects process the sound in various  
ways to simulate different spaces such as a theater, or  
concert hall.  
The bass and treble controls have no effect when  
using the DSP modes, or when the surround mode is set  
to anything other than STANDARD, AUTO or  
SURR. OFF (surround off).  
For Dolby Surround, Dolby Digital or DTS surround  
sources, such as DVDs, use the Advanced Theater effects  
to add room ambience to the sound; for stereo-only  
sources, such as audio CDs, use the DSP modes.  
You cannot adjust the bass or treble when Record  
mode is active (see Direct recording on page 25).  
For each effect you can also adjust how strong the effect  
sounds. Often, a more subtle effect level enhances the  
sound better than turning it right up. Experiment to see  
what works best for you.  
1 Press SOUND.  
2 Use the 2 or 3 buttons to select BASS or  
TREBLE.  
Listening to surround-sound sources  
When you play DVD discs with Dolby Digital or DTS  
sound, choose from the following sound settings.  
3 Use the 5 and buttons to adjust the  
sound.  
You can see the current level in the display.  
Auto – For digital sources, decoding is automati-  
cally selected according to the source: Dolby Digital,  
DTS, Dolby Pro Logic, 2-channel stereo, etc. No extra  
effects are added to the source. Analog sources are  
played in the same way as the Surround Off setting.  
4 Press ENTER.  
Using P.Bass  
In addition to the standard controls for adjusting bass  
and treble, this system has a P.Bass feature. Switch this  
on to further extend the bass.  
Standard – As Auto, except that 2-channel  
(analog or digital) sources are processed using Dolby  
Pro Logic for surround-sound effects.  
The following six settings are Advanced Theater effects.  
Musical – Concert hall sound.  
P.Bass has no effect when listening through  
headphones.  
Drama – Classic, mid-size movie theater sound.  
Action – Large, modern movie theater sound.  
You cannot adjust P.Bass when Record mode is  
active (see Direct recording on page 25).  
Virtual Surround 1 (VIR.SURR.1) –  
Virtual surround sound from just the main front stereo  
speakers and a subwoofer. Use this mode if you can't use  
the surround speakers.

Advanced Sound Setup

Dynamic Range Control  
Advanced sound settings  
This chapter covers advanced settings to further  
optimize the sound of your system.  
The dynamic range of a source is the difference between  
the quietest and the loudest sounds. The dynamic range  
of Dolby Digital soundtracks can be very great. This  
makes them exciting, but it also means that when you  
turn the volume down you can easily lose quiet dialog.  
Switch on Dynamic Range Control to even out the  
soundtrack volume.  
LFE attenuator  
The LFE (low frequency effects) channel carries ultra  
low bass sound to add weight to effects in Dolby Digital  
and DTS soundtracks. This channel can overload the  
subwoofer resulting in distortion. Use the LFE attenua-  
tor setting to reduce the signal fed to the subwoofer.  
You can’t change this setting if the Record mode is  
on (see page 25).  
1 Press SYSTEM SETUP.  
The LFE attenuator only works with sources that  
contain an LFE channel. It is not a general level control  
for the sub-woofer.  
2 Press the 2 or 3 button until you see  
D.R.C. in the display.  
3 Use the 5 and buttons to select a  
dynamic range setting.  
You can’t change this setting if the Record mode is  
on (see page 25).  
D.R.C. OFF – default setting (no change to the  
dynamics)  
1 Press SYSTEM SETUP.  
D.R.C. LOW – the dynamic range is reduced by a  
small amount.  
2 Press the 2 or 3 button until you see LFE  
in the display.  
D.R.C. MID – mid setting  
3 Use the 5 and buttons to set the  
amount of signal reduction.  
There are three settings:  
D.R.C. HIGH – the dynamic range is reduced by a  
large amount (good for listening at very low volume).  
4 Press ENTER.  
LFE ATT 0 – default setting (no signal reduction)  
LFE ATT 10 – the LFE channel signal level is  
reduced to avoid distortion  
LFE OFF – the LFE channel is switched off  
completely. This may be useful late at night, for  
example.  
4 Press ENTER.

9 Advanced Sound Setup  
Dual-mono setting  
Adjusting channel volume levels  
Depending on your room and where youre sitting, you  
may want to adjust the relative volumes of one or more  
speakers for a more balanced sound. You can do this in  
any mode, including the surround, DSP, and stereo  
modes. Settings that you make in any sound mode are  
completely independent and dont affect any other  
mode.  
The dual-mono setting applies only to Dolby Digital  
discs that feature dual-mono materialsee the disc  
box for details.  
Dual-mono discs are recorded with two independent  
channels that may be played together or separately  
depending on the situation. For example, a guitar  
tuition disc might have the guitar recorded on one  
channel and all the other instruments on the other. Use  
the dual-mono setting to play just the guitar part on its  
own; just the backing, or everything together (through  
separate speakers, or mixed).  
Each DSP effect has its own set of channel level  
settings.  
The channel levels you set for the Surround mode  
You cant change this setting if the Record mode is

(or through the left and right speakers if Surround  
Off is selected); Ch2 is muted.  
Remember that not all channels are available in all  
sound modes.  
CH2 Ch2 is played through the center speaker  
(or through the left and right speakers if Surround  
Off is selected); Ch1 is muted.  
3 Use the 5 and buttons to adjust the  
volume of the current channel.  
For best results, sit in your main listening position when  
doing this. You can adjust each speaker in the range of  
+/-10dB.  
MIX Ch1 and Ch2 are mixed together and played  
through the center speaker (or through both left and  
right speakers if Surround Off is selected).

conventional (4:3) format, the settings on your TV will  
determine how the material is presented—see the

The DVD Setup menu gives you access to all the system’s

Switching the AM frequency interval  
As its default setting, the tuner jumps in steps of 10kHz  
when tuning in AM stations. If you find that this is  
unsuitable in your area (if you can’t tune into stations  
successfully), you can change the tuning interval to  
9kHz for AM. Here’s how to switch the setting.  
Taking care of your system  
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For  
stubborn dirt, wet a soft cloth with a mild detergent  
solution made by diluting one part detergent to 5 or 6  
parts water, wring well, then wipe off the dirt. Use a dry  
cloth to wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile liquids  
such as benzene and thinner which may damage the  
surfaces.  
1 Switch the system into standby.  
2 Press SYSTEM SETUP.  
Disc lens cleaner  
3 Press the 2 or 3 button until you see AM  
STEP in the display.  
The disc pickup lens should not become dirty in normal  
use, but if for some reason it should malfunction due to  
dirt or dust, consult your nearest Pioneer authorized  
service center. Although lens cleaners for CD players are  
commercially available, we do not recommend using  
them since some may damage the lens.  
4 Use the 5 and buttons to select 9kHz  
or 10kHz.  
• When set to 9kHz, the FM tuning interval becomes  
50kHz. This should not affect tuning into FM stations.  
5 Press ENTER.  
Taking care of your discs  
When holding discs, take care not to leave fingerprints,  
dirt or scratches on the disc surface. Hold the disc by its  
edge or by the center hole and edge. Damaged or dirty  
discs can affect playback performance. Take care also  
not to scratch the label side of the disc. Although not as  
fragile as the recorded side, scratches can still result in a  
disc becoming unusable.  
Setting the display brightness  
You can adjust the brightness of the display to suit the  
lighting conditions of the room.  
Press FL DIMMER (SHIFT & >10).  
Press repeatedly to set the display brightness. There are  
five levels.  
Should a disc become marked with fingerprints, dust,  
etc., clean using a soft, dry cloth, wiping the disc lightly  
from the center to the outside edge as shown on the next  
page. If necessary, use a cloth soaked in alcohol, or a  
commercially available CD or DVD cleaning kit to clean  
a disc more thoroughly. Never use benzine, thinner or  
other cleaning agents, including products designed for  
cleaning vinyl records.  
Switching the time format  
You can display the clock in either 12 or 24-hour  
format.  
1 Switch the system into standby.  
2 Press SYSTEM SETUP.  
3 Press the 2 or 3 button until you see  
CLOCK 12 HR or CLOCK 24 HR in the  
display.  
• Wipe lightly from the center of the disc using  
straight strokes.  
4 Use the 5 and buttons to select 12 or  
24.  
5 Press ENTER.  
• Don’t wipe the disc surface using circular strokes.

Problem  
Remedy  
Noticeable difference in DVD  
and CD volume.  
DVDs and CDs use different recording methods. This is not a malfunction.  
Tuner  
Noisy radio reception  
Check that the frequency is correct.  
Check that the antennas are connected properly. For FM, make sure that the antenna  
is fully extended and positioned to give the best reception.  
For AM, make sure that the loop antenna is pointing in the best direction.  
If the radio signal is weak, an outdoor antenna will usually give better results than the  
supplied indoor types.  
Other electrical equipment, such as TVs, fluorescent lamps and motors can cause  
interference. Try switching off or moving the equipment, or moving the antenna(s).  
The tuning interval may be incorrect for your country or region. Try switching the  
tuning interval (page 41).  
Auto tuning does not pick up  
some stations.  
Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a good signal. For more sensitive  
tuning, connect an outdoor antenna.

seem to work.  
Make sure that you’re using the remote within its operating range and that there are  
no obstacles between the remote and the sensor on the main unit.

Check that all rear panel connections are correct.  
If you find dirty or oxidized plugs/terminals, clean them.

settings (bass, treble, etc.)  
The Record Mode is switched on. Switch off then adjust as desired (see page 25).

on in the DVD function but idle for more than 5  
minutes. The demo will stop if you press any button  
except CD MODE on the main unit .  
Static electricity or other external influences may cause
