Hints on the speaker placement

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.

Connecting your equipment

• The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about

ear-level when you’re listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the

subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a wall is not recommended.

• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal

distance from the TV.

• If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the

speakers at a sufficient distance from your CRT TV.

• If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place

them at a narrower angle.

Placing the speakers

By connecting the left and right front speakers (

L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right

surround speakers (SL SR), and the subwoofer (SW), a 5.1 ch surround system can be enjoyed.

Further, by using an external amplifier, you can connect the left and right surround back

speakers (SBL/SBR) or the left and right front height speaker (FHL/FHR) to boost your system

up to a 7.1 ch surround system.

• You can also connect one surround back speaker (SB) and enjoy a 6.1 ch surround system.

To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is

localized at the TV screen. Also, make sure the center speaker does not cross the line

formed by the leading edge of the front left and right speakers.

6.1 channel surround

5.1 channel surround system:

(Surround back) system: ^a

• It is best to angle the speakers towards the listening position. The angle depends on the

size of the room. Use less of an angle for bigger rooms.

• Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.)

higher than your ears and titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers don’t face each

other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should be more directly behind the listener than for

home theater playback.

120

• If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a

7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up Mix

function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 27).

• Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the

front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

120

7.1 channel surround

• Place the left and right front height speakers at least one meter directly above the left and

right front speakers.

(Surround back) system: ^a

(Front height) system: ^a

FHR

CAUTION

FHL

• Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality,

but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over

or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

120

Important

• To connect the surround back or front height speakers, an additional amplifier is required.

Connect the additional amplifier to the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of

this unit and connect the surround back or front height speakers to the additional amplifier

(see Connect the surround back or front height speakers on page 11).

Making cable connections

• If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try

adjusting the resolution settings on your component or

display. Note that some components (such as video game

units) have resolutions that may not be displayed. In this

case, use a (analog) composite connection.

• When the video signal from the HDMI is 480i, 480p, 576i

or 576p, Multi Ch PCM sound and HD sound cannot be

received.

Note

• Use a High Speed HDMI^®cable. If HDMI cable other than

a High Speed HDMI^®cable is used, it may not work

properly.

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.

• When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is

connected, it may not operate properly.

• 3D, Deep Color, x.v.Color signal transfer and Audio

Return Channel are only possible when connected to a

compatible component.

• HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer

time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the

audio may occur when switching between audio formats

or beginning playback.

• Turning on/off the device connected to this unit’s HDMI

OUT terminal during playback, or disconnecting/

connecting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause

noise or interrupted audio.

About HDMI

Component video should deliver superior picture quality when compared to composite video.

A further advantage (if your source and TV are both compatible) is progressive-scan video,

which delivers a very stable, flicker-free picture. See the manuals that came with your TV and

source component to check whether they are compatible with progressive-scan video.

• For the audio connection, refer to Connecting your component with no HDMI terminal on

page 15.

• Audio signals that are input through the digital terminal will not be output from the analog

terminal.

Important

• If you connect any source component to the receiver using a component video input, you

must also have your TV connected to this receiver’s COMPONENT VIDEO MONITOR OUT

jacks.

• If necessary, assign the component video inputs to the input source you’ve connected.

The Auto Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) setup

measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area,

taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and

distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level.

After you have set up the microphone provided with your

system, the receiver uses the information from a series of test

tones to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for

your particular room.

• When using surround back or front height speakers, turn

on the power to the amplifier to which the surround back

or front height speakers are connected, and adjust the

sound level to the desired level.

• The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the

for system setup.

• The Auto MCACC setup will overwrite any existing

speaker settings you’ve made.

• If you connected either the surround back speaker or the

front height speaker, make sure that the Pre Out setting

is correctly set before performing the Auto MCACC setup

(see page 33). (Here is an explanation using the OSD

screen for a surround back speaker connection.)

Tripod

• See below for notes regarding background noise and

other possible interference.

If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so that it’s

about ear level at your normal listening position. Otherwise,

place the microphone at ear level using a table or a chair.

Basic Setup

Wait for the test tones to finish.

Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press ENTER.

Other problems when using the Auto MCACC

setup

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver

outputs test tones to determine the speakers present in your

setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while it’s doing this.

If the screen in step 7 is left untouched for 10 seconds and

ENTER is not pressed in step 8, the Auto MCACC setup will

start automatically as shown.

If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC

setup (too much background noise, echo off the walls,

obstacles blocking the speakers from the microphone) 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. If

there are any instructions showing in the front panel display,

please follow them.

decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital

EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use 6.1 or 7.1

decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded material). With 5.1

encoded sources, a surround back channel will be

generated, but the material may sound better in the 5.1

format for which it was originally encoded (in which case, you

can simply switch surround back channel processing off).

• With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that

have undergone matrix decoding processing through

surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix

function is added are output from the surround back

speakers.

In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers

placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the

surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the

side. The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround

speakers with the surround back speakers so that the

surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it

should be.

• Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers

in the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as

recommended in the example on page 10.

Note

• Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving

proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in

phase’, they crest and trough together, resulting in

increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound

signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough, then the sound

will be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will

be produced.

• If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the

plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually

feel when Phase Control is set to ON on this receiver

depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your

subwoofer to maximize the effect. It is also recommended

Control with HDMI function

Select the ‘ARC’ setting you want.

When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized

amp mode is canceled if an operation that produces

sound from the TV is performed from the TV’s menu

screen, etc.

When the synchronized amp mode is canceled, the

receiver’s power turns off if you were viewing an HDMI

input or a TV program on the TV.

The synchronized operations below can be used when the

receiver’s Control with HDMI function is connected to a

player or recorder of a brand other than Pioneer that

supports the Control with HDMI function.

• When playback starts on the player or recorder, the

Cautions on the Control with HDMI function

Before using synchronization

Once you have finished all connections and settings, you

must:

• Automatic switching of inputs

• Connect the TV and components (Blu-ray Disc player,

etc.) directly to this receiver. Interrupting a direct

connection with other amps or an AV converter (such as

an HDMI switch) can cause operational errors.

• When the receiver’s Control is turned ON, even if the

receiver’s power is in the standby mode, it is possible to

output the audio and video signals from a player via HDMI

to the TV without producing sound from the receiver, but

only when a Control with HDMI-compatible component

(Blu-ray Disc player, etc.) and compatible TV are

connected. In this case, the receiver’s power turns on and

the power and HDMI indicators light.

The receiver’s input switches automatically when the

Control with HDMI-compatible component is played.

The receiver’s input switches automatically when the

TV’s input is switched.

The synchronized amp mode remains in effect even if

the receiver’s input is switched to a component other

than one connected by HDMI.

Put all components into standby mode.

Turn the power on for all components, with the power

for the TV being turned on last.

Choose the HDMI input to which the TV is connected to

this receiver, and see if video output from connected

components displays properly on the screen or not.

About connections with a product of a different

brand that supports the Control with HDMI

function

Check whether the components connected to all HDMI

inputs are properly displayed.

The synchronized operations below can be used when the

receiver’s Control with HDMI function is connected to a TV

of a brand other than Pioneer that supports the Control with

HDMI function. (Depending on the TV, however, some of the

Control with HDMI functions may not work.)

About synchronized operations

The Control with HDMI-compatible component connected to

the receiver operates in sync as described below.

• Synchronized amp mode

• When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s

power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for a

component connected to the receiver by HDMI

connection is selected or when watching the TV)

From the menu screen of the Control with HDMI-

compatible TV, set audio to be played through this

receiver, and the receiver will switch to the synchronized

amp mode.

• The sound of TV programs or an external input connected

to the TV can also be output from the speakers connected

to the receiver. (If the TV does not support the HDMI

Audio Return Channel function, this requires connection

of an optical digital cable, etc., in addition to the HDMI

cable.)

When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized

amp mode is canceled when the receiver’s power is

turned off. To turn the synchronized amp mode back on,

set audio to be played through the receiver from the TV’s

menu screen, etc. This receiver will power up and switch

to the synchronized amp mode.

The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a

safe level – a level that lets the sound come through

clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most

importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

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.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

• Set your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it

comfortably and clearly, without distortion.

• Once you have established a comfortable sound

level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

GUIDELINES:

• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t

hear what’s around you.

• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in

potentially hazardous situations.

• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized

vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic

hazard and is illegal in many areas.

DISPUTERESOLUTION

IN THE U.S.A. - Following our response to any initial request to Customer Support, should a dispute arise between you and Pioneer, Pioneer makes available its Complaint

Resolution Program to resolve the dispute. The Complaint Resolution Program is available to you without charge. You are required to use the Complaint Resolution Program

before you exercise any rights under, or seek any remedies, created by Title I of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty-Federal Trade Commission Improvement Act, 15 U.S.C. 2301 et seq.

To use the Complaint Resolution Program call 1-800-421-1404 and explain to the customer service representative the problem you are experiencing, steps you have taken

to have the product repaired during the warranty period and the name of the authorized Distributor/Dealer from whom the Pioneer product was purchased. After the complaint

has been explained to the representative, a resolution number will be issued. Within 40 days of receiving your complaint, Pioneer will investigate the dispute and will either:

(1) respond to your complaint in writing informing you what action Pioneer will take, and in what time period, to resolve the dispute; or (2) respond to your complaint in writing

informing you why it will not take any action.

IN CANADA - Call the Customer Satisfaction Manager at (905) 946-7446 to discuss your complaint and to obtain a prompt resolution.
