VENTILATION CAUTION  
CAUTION  
When installing this unit, make sure to leave space  
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat  
radiation (at least 60 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and  
30 cm at each side).  
The STANDBY/ON switch on this unit will not  
completely shut off all power from the AC outlet.  
Since the power cord serves as the main disconnect  
device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from  
the AC outlet to shut down all power. Therefore,  
make sure the unit has been installed so that the  
power cord can be easily unplugged from the AC  
outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard,  
the power cord should also be unplugged from the  
AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time  
(for example, when on vacation).  
WARNING  
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for  
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the  
product, and to protect it from overheating. To  
prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be  
blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers,  
table-cloths, curtains) or by operating the  
equipment on thick carpet or a bed.  
D3-4-2-1-7b_A_En  
POWER-CORD CAUTION  
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the  
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power  
cord when your hands are wet as this could cause a  
short circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a  
piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the  
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other  
cords. The power cords should be routed such that they  
are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord  
can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check  
the power cord once in a while. When you find it  
damaged, ask your nearest PIONEER authorized  
service center or your dealer for a replacement. S002_En

Making cable connections  
Connecting to a TV and DVD recorder  
or player  
Make sure not to bend the cables over the top of this unit  
(as shown in the illustration). If this happens, the  
magnetic field produced by the transformers in this unit  
may cause a humming noise from the speakers.  
The diagram below shows the connections for a basic  
home theater setup of a TV, DVD recorder (or player) and  
this receiver.  
Audio is output from the DVD recorder’s coaxial digital  
audio jack, while the video output goes to the TV. Also  
shown is a stereo analog audio connection from your TV  
to this receiver so you can enjoy sound from this receiver  
when watching TV programs.  
Important  
• Before making or changing any connections, switch  
off the power and disconnect the power cable from  
the AC outlet.

• When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend  
using magnetically shielded speakers to prevent  
possible interference, such as discoloration of the  
picture when the TV is switched on. If you do not have  
magnetically shielded speakers and notice  
discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers  
farther away from the TV.  
Hints on speaker placement  
Speakers are usually designed with a particular  
placement in mind. Some are designed to be  
floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to  
sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall;  
others should be placed away from walls. We have  
provided a few tips on getting the best sound from your  
speakers (following), but you should also follow the  
guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer  
provided with your particular speakers to get the most  
out of them.  
• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so  
that the sound of the center channel is localized at  
the TV screen.  
• If possible, place the surround speakers slightly  
above ear level.  
• Place the front left and right speakers at equal  
distances from the TV.

• Try not to place the surround speakers further away  
from the listening position than the front and center  
speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound  
effect.  
Plugging in  
After making sure that everything is connected properly,  
connect the attached power cable to a wall outlet.  
Caution  
Power cord caution  
• If you choose to install the center speaker on top of  
the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other  
suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or  
injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV  
in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.  
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the  
plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord  
when your hands are wet as this could cause a short  
circuit or an electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece  
of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord.  
Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords.  
The power cords should be routed such that they are not  
likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause  
a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power  
cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your  
nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer  
for a replacement.  
• Make sure no exposed speaker wire is touching the  
rear panel, this may cause the receiver to turn off  
automatically.  
• These speaker terminals are hazardous when live. To  
prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or  
disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the  
power cable.  
• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE  
voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when  
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,  
disconnect the power cord before touching any  
uninsulated parts.

Introduction to home theater  
Quick setup using the Room Setup  
You are probably used to using stereo equipment to listen  
to music, but may not be used to home theater systems  
that give you many more options (such as surround  
sound) when listening to soundtracks.  
The Room Setup feature gives you a very simple way to  
set up your receiver for good surround sound by setting  
the room size and your seating position in the room.  
You can make more detailed settings for surround sound  
later if you want, setting individual channel levels and  
speaker distances. See below for more details.  
Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks to  
create a surround sound effect, making you feel like  
you're in the middle of the action or concert. The  
surround sound you get from a home theater system  
depends not only on the speakers you have set up in your  
room, but also on the source and the sound settings of  
the receiver.  
STANDBY/ON  
DVD-Video has become the basic source material for  
home theater due to its size, quality, and ease of use.  
Depending on the DVD, you can have up to seven  
different audio tracks coming from one disc, all of them  
being sent to different speakers in your system. This is  
what creates a surround sound effect and gives you the  
feeling of ‘being there’.  
This receiver will automatically decode Dolby Digital,  
DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs, according to  
your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to  
make changes for realistic surround sound, but other  
possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel  
surround sound) are explained in Listening to your  
system on page 18.  
ENTER  
ROOM

Switching on  
Use the STANDBY/ON button on the front panel or the  
RECEIVER  
remote control to switch the receiver on or into standby.  
Remember that when the receiver is in standby it still  
uses a small amount of power (0.5 W). Unplug from the  
wall outlet to completely disconnect the power. The  
receiver will retain its settings for about four weeks when  
unplugged.

Setting individual channel levels  
In order to balance the sound from all the speakers in  
your system you can adjust the relative level of each  
speaker. Adjust so that the level of each speaker is  
similar from your listening position.  
Setting speaker distances  
For more accurate surround sound settings you can set  
the distance from your listening position to each of the  
speakers.  
While setting the channel levels, you can either listen to  
a multichannel source (such as a DVD), or use the built-  
in test tone feature.  
See also Setting individual channel levels below for  
setting the relative levels of individual speakers.  
Setting the channel levels using the test tone  
The test tone feature outputs a constant noise tone from  
each speaker, giving you a good reference to adjust the  
levels.
