Determining the speakers’ application
This unit permits you to build various surround systems, in accordance with the number of speakers you have.
! Be sure to connect speakers to the front left and right channels (L and R).
! It is also possible to only connect one of the surround back speakers (SB) or neither.
! If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2 terminal.
Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.
Important
! The Speaker System setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown below other than [A] (see
Speaker system setting on page 89
).
! The speakers from which sound is output can be switched according to the speaker layout/usage pattern
(sound is not necessarily output from all connected speakers). Use the OUT P. button to switch the speakers from which sound is output. For details, see
Switching the speaker terminals on page 71

! Place the surround speakers at 120º from the center. If you, (1) use the surround back speaker, and, (2) don’t use the front height speakers / front wide speakers, we recommend placing the surround speaker right beside you.
! If you intend to connect only one surround back speaker, place it directly behind you.
! Place the left and right front height speakers at least one meter directly above the left and right front speakers.
Some tips for improving sound quality
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.
! 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 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.
! 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.
! 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 higher than your ears and tilted slightly 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.
! 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.
Connecting the speakers
Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a positive (+) and negative (–) terminal. Make sure to match these up with the terminals on the speakers themselves.
This unit supports speakers with a nominal impedance of 4 W to 16 W.
CAUTION
! 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.
! Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is twisted together and inserted fully into the speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker wire touches the back panel it may cause the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Bare wire connections
CAUTION
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.
1 Twist exposed wire strands together.
2 Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.
3 Tighten terminal.

10 mm
Notes
! Please refer to the manual that came with your speakers for details on how to connect the other end of the speaker cables to your speakers.
! Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer. It is not possible to connect using speaker cables.
! If you have two subwoofers, the second subwoofer can be connected to the SUBWOOFER 2 terminal.
Connecting two subwoofers increases the bass sound to achieve more powerful sound reproduction. In this case, the same sound is output from the two subwoofers.

Installing your speaker system
At the very least, front left and right speakers only are necessary. Note that your main surround speakers should always be connected as a pair, but you can connect just one surround back speaker if you like (it must be connected to the left surround back terminal).

Bi-amping your speakers
Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver and low frequency driver of your speakers to different amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.

MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to three independent systems in separate rooms after you have made the proper
MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in three zones at the same time or, depending on your needs, the same source can also be used. The main and sub zones have independent power (the main zone power can be off while one (or both) of the sub zones is on) and the sub zones can be controlled by the remote or front panel controls.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you have separate speakers for your primary (ZONE 2) sub zone. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the speaker terminals for your primary sub zone (For detail,
see MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) on page 31
).
Also, if the separate receiver in the sub zone has an HDMI input terminal, this unit’s HDMI input can be played as
HDZONE.
Here are two primary sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you.
Basic MULTI-ZONE setup (ZONE 2)
% Connect a separate amplifier to the AUDIO ZONE 2 OUT jacks on this receiver.
You should have a pair of speakers attached to the sub zone amplifier as shown in the following illustration.

The Full Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker connection and speaker size, 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.
Important
! Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the Full Auto MCACC Setup.
! Using the Full Auto MCACC Setup will overwrite any existing settings for the MCACC preset you select.
! Before using the Full Auto MCACC Setup, the headphones should be disconnected.
! With factory default settings, the on-screen display will be output from all HDMI output terminals and displayed on any TV connected via HDMI cable. You can change where the screen is output in the
MAIN/HDZONE (
) and HDMI output ( page 71 ) settings.
CAUTION
! The test tones used in the Full Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.
1 Press STANDBY/ON to switch on the receiver and your TV.
Make sure that the TV’s video input is set to this receiver.
2 Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on the front panel.

Basic Setup
If you have a tripod, use it to place the microphone so that it’s about ear level at your normal listening position. If you do not have a tripod, use some other object to install the microphone.
Install the microphone on a stable floor. Placing the microphone on any of the following surfaces may make accurate measurement impossible:
! Sofas or other soft surfaces.
! High places such as tabletops and sofa tops.
The Full Auto MCACC display appears once the microphone is connected.

9 The Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and the Home Menu menu reappears automatically.
Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Full Auto MCACC Setup.
The settings made in the Full Auto MCACC Setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system,
but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using The Advanced MCACC menu on page 81
or
System Setup and Other Setup menus on page 88 .
! Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the
on
! The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
! If Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.
Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup
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.
! Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the microphone. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV when doing the Auto MCACC Setup.

! AUTO – The receiver selects the first available signal in the following order: HDMI; DIGITAL; ANALOG.
! ANALOG – Selects an analog signal.
! DIGITAL – Select an optical or coaxial digital input signal. ‘DIGITL’ is displayed on the front panel display.
! HDMI – Selects an HDMI signal.
— When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH, the sound will be heard through your TV, not from this receiver.
When set to DIGITAL, HDMI or AUTO (only selected DIGITAL or HDMI), the indicators light according to the signal being decoded (see
Notes
! 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.
! For discs created with standards other than Phase Control, the LFE channel is delayed upon recording in the first place. Phase Control Plus function corrects for phase shifting on such discs. For instructions on setting the Phase Control Plus, see
Setting the Audio options on page 67
.
! If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0º). 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 you try changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer.
! Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to off. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the cutoff frequency to a higher value.
! If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have a maximized PHASE CONTROL effect.
! The PHASE CONTROL mode cannot be set to ON in the following cases:
— When headphones are plugged in.
— When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on.
— When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH in Setting the Setting the Audio options

Listening to Internet radio stations
Internet radio is an audio broadcasting service transmitted via the Internet. There are a large number of Internet radio stations broadcasting a variety of services from every corner of the world. Some are hosted, managed, and broadcast by private individuals while others are by the corresponding traditional terrestrial radio stations or radio networks. Whereas terrestrial, or OTA (over-the-air), radio stations are geographically restricted on the range of radio waves broadcast from a transmitter through the air, Internet radio stations are accessible from anywhere in the world, as long as there is a connection to the Internet, as services are not transmitted through the air but are delivered over the World Wide Web. On this receiver you can select Internet radio stations by genre as well as by region.
Depending on the Internet line conditions, the sound may not be smooth when playing Internet radio.

What it does
With the Auto Sound Retriever function, DSP processing is used to compensate for the loss of audio data upon compression, improving the sound’s sense of density and modulation.
Also, when a player supporting the Sound Retriever Link function is connected to the receiver by HDMI, by setting this to ON, the bitrate information of the compressed audio file being played on the player is acquired using the Control with HDMI function, and the sound is optimized based on this information (Sound Retriever Link).
May improve the quality of sound in a noisy source (for example, video tape with lots of background noise) when switched on.
This only has an effect with 2-channel signal inputs.
This mode is effective for contents with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz or less.
Localizes dialog in the center channel to make it stand out from other background sounds in a TV or movie soundtrack. By moving from UP1 through UP2 and UP3 up to UP4, you can make the sound source seem to relocate upwards.
Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like CDs, DVDs or
BDs. 16- and 20-bit PCM as well as compressed audio is requantized to 24 bits, more subtle musical expression.
This mode is effective for contents with a sampling frequency of 48 kHz or less.

What it does
If you have multiple Pioneer receivers, amplifiers, etc., this setting can be used to prevent other units from operating simultaneously when the remote control unit is operated. See
Operating multiple receivers on page 76 .
Preset codes can be set for the various input functions. The remote control codes of a number of other devices (including products of other brands) are preset in the remote control to allow these devices to be
operated. See Selecting preset codes directly
on
.
If the desired operations cannot be performed even though you have set the preset codes, the remote control signals of other devices can be learned directly. See
Programming signals from other remote controls on page 77 .

Setting the remote to control other components
Most components can be assigned to one of the input function buttons (such as DVD or CD) using the component’s manufacturer preset code stored in the remote.
However, there are cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code, or the codes for the manufacturer in the remote control will not work for the model that you are using.
If you can’t find a preset code that matches the component you want to control, you can still teach the remote individual commands from another remote control (see
Programming signals from other remote controls on page 77 ).
! With the TV buttons, the TV can be operated regardless of the input set for the remote control’s operation mode. When using one TV set, we recommend assigning the same TV’s preset codes to the TV INPUT button and the TV button. When using two TV sets, for better convenience assign the TV connected to the MONITOR
OUT terminals to the TV INPUT button, the other TV to the TV button.

Making receiver settings from the Advanced MCACC menu
The Advanced MCACC (Multi Channel ACoustic Calibration) system was developed in Pioneer’s laboratories with the aim of making it possible for home users to perform adjustments of the same level as in a studio easily and with high precision. The acoustic characteristics of the listening environment are measured and the frequency response is calibrated accordingly to allow high precision, automatic analysis and optimal calibration of the sound field to bring it closer to a studio environment than ever before. Furthermore, while it was previously difficult to eliminate standing waves, this receiver is equipped with a standing wave control function using a unique process to perform acoustic analysis and reduce their influence.
This section describes how to calibrate the sound field automatically and fine-adjust the sound field data manually.
1 Press STANDBY/ON to switch on the receiver and your TV.
Make sure that the TV’s video input is set to this receiver.
2 Press MAIN RECEIVER to switch the remote control to the receiver operation mode, and then press HOME MENU.
A Graphical User Interface (GUI) screen appears on your TV. Use i/j/k/l and ENTER to navigate through the screens and select menu items. Press RETURN to exit the current menu.
! Press HOME MENU at any time to exit the HOME MENU.
3 Select ‘Advanced MCACC’ from the HOME MENU, then press ENTER.
4 Select the setting you want to adjust.
! Full Auto MCACC – See
Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 39
for a quick and effective automatic surround setup.
! Auto MCACC – See
Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 82 for a more detailed MCACC setup.
! Manual MCACC – Fine-tunes your speaker settings and customizes the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see
! Demo – No settings are saved and no errors occur. When the speakers are connected to this receiver, the test tone is output repeatedly. Press RETURN to cancel the test tone.
Automatic MCACC (Expert)
, you can customize your setup options below. You can calibrate your system differently for up to six different MCACC presets, which are useful if you have different listening positions depending on the type of source (for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a video game close to the
TV).
2 Select the parameters you want to set.
Use i/j to select the item, then use k/l to set.
! Auto MCACC – The default is ALL (recommended), but you can limit the system calibration to only one setting (to save time) if you want.
— When data measurement is taken (after selecting ALL or Keep SP System), the reverb characteristics data (both before- and after-calibration) that this receiver had been storing will be overwritten.
— When measurement is performed with other than SYMMETRY (after selecting ALL or Keep SP System), the reverberation characteristics after calibration cannot be predicted, so the graph for the characteristics after calibration (“After”) cannot be displayed. If you will need to display the graph for the characteristics after calibration (“After”), take the measurement using the EQ Professional menu in the Manual MCACC setup (
).
— The EQ Pro & S-Wave measurement is also taken when ALL or Keep SP System is selected. See
Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional on page 85 for more on this.
— Either effect of Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional and Standing Wave can be switched on and off in the respective MCACC preset. For details, see
Setting the Audio options on page 67
.
! EQ Type (only available when the Auto MCACC Menu above is EQ Pro & S-Wave) – This determines how the frequency balance is adjusted.
After a single calibration is performed, each of the following three correction curves can be stored separately in the MCACC memory.
— SYMMETRY implements symmetric correction for each pair of left and right speakers to flatten the frequency-amplitude characteristics.
— ALL CH ADJ is a ‘flat’ setting where all the speakers are set individually so no special weighting is given to any one channel.
— FRONT ALIGN sets all speakers in accordance with the front speaker settings (no equalization is applied to the front left and right channels).
If you selected ALL or Keep SP System as your Auto MCACC menu, you can specify the MCACC preset where you want to save the SYMMETRY, ALL CH ADJ and FRONT ALIGN settings.
EQ of subwoofer is automatically set when in ALL CH ADJ mode.
! STAND.WAVE Multi-Point (only available when the Auto MCACC Menu above is EQ Pro & S-Wave) – In addition to measurements at the listening position, you can use two more reference points for which test tones will be analyzed for standing waves. This is useful if you want to get a balanced ‘flat’ calibration for several seating positions in your listening area. Place the microphone at the reference point indicated on-screen and note that the last microphone placement will be at your main listening position:
2nd reference

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.
! With error messages (such as Too much ambient noise! or Check microphone.), select RETRY after check-
ing for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 40
) and verifying the mic connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue.
! Do not adjust the volume during the test tones. This may result in incorrect speaker settings.
7 If necessary, confirm the speaker configuration in the GUI screen.
The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.
If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the speaker configuration check screen is being displayed, the Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this case, you don’t need to select ‘OK’ and press ENTER in step 8.
! If you see an ERR message (or the speaker configuration displayed isn’t correct), there may be a problem with the speaker connection. If selecting RETRY doesn’t work, turn off the power and check the speaker connections. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply use i/j to select the speaker and k/l to change the setting and continue.

4 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.
Fine Speaker Distance
! Default setting: 3.00 m (all speakers)
For proper sound depth and separation with your system, it is necessary to add a slight bit of delay to some speakers so that all sounds will arrive at the listening position at the same time. You can adjust the distance of each speaker in 1 cm increments. The following setting can help you make detailed adjustments that you may not
achieve using the Manual speaker setup on page 89 .
1 Select ‘Fine SP Distance’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.
2 Adjust the distance of the left channel from the listening position.
3 Select each channel in turn and adjust the distance as necessary.
Use k/l to adjust the delay of the speaker you selected to match the reference speaker.
Listen to the reference speaker and use it to measure the target channel. From the listening position, face the two speakers with your arms outstretched pointing at each speaker. Try to make the two tones sound as if they are arriving simultaneously at a position slightly in front of you and between your arm span.
! If you can’t seem to achieve this by adjusting the distance setting, you may need to change the angle of your speakers very slightly.
! The subwoofer’s test tone differs in tone from other channels. Adjust so that the sound of the subwoofer can be heard distinctly. Note that when adjusting the subwoofer, depending on the low frequency response of your speaker, it may be difficult to hear the change even when the setting is increased or decreased or when the position of the speaker is changed. Note that it may be difficult to compare this tone with the other speakers in your setup (depending on the low frequency response of the reference speaker).
When it sounds like the delay settings are matched up, press j to confirm and continue to the next channel.
! For comparison purposes, the reference speaker will change depending on which speaker you select.
! If you want to go back and adjust a channel, simply use i/j to select it.
4 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.

The Advanced MCACC menu
Standing Wave
! Default setting: ON/ATT 0.0dB (all filters)
Acoustic standing waves occur when, under certain conditions, sound waves from your speaker system resonate mutually with sound waves reflected off the walls in your listening area. This can have a negative effect on the overall sound, especially at certain lower frequencies. Depending on speaker placement, your listening position, and ultimately the shape of your room, it results in an overly resonant (‘boomy’) sound. The Standing Wave
Control uses filters to reduce the effect of overly resonant sounds in your listening area. During playback of a source, you can customize the filters used for Standing Wave Control for each of your MCACC presets.
! Standing Wave control filter settings cannot be changed during playback of sources using the HDMI connection.
1 Select ‘Standing Wave’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.
2 Adjust the parameters for the Standing Wave Control.
! Filter Channel – Select the channel to which you will apply the filter(s): MAIN (all except center channel and subwoofer), Center or SW (subwoofer).
! TRIM (only available when the filter channel above is SW) – Adjust the subwoofer channel level (to compensate for the difference in output post-filter).
! Freq / Q / ATT – These are the filter parameters where Freq represents the frequency you will be targeting and Q is the bandwidth (the higher the Q, the narrower the bandwidth, or range) of the attenuation (ATT, the amount of reduction to the targeted frequency).
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.
Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust
! Default setting: ON/0.0dB (all channels/bands)
Acoustic Calibration Equalization is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers (excluding the subwoofer). It works by measuring the acoustic characteristics of your room and neutralizing the ambient characteristics that can color the original source material (providing a ‘flat’ equalization setting). If you’re not satisfied with the adjustment provided in
Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 39
or
on
page 82 , you can also adjust these settings manually to get a frequency balance
that suits your tastes.
1 Select ‘EQ Adjust’ from the Manual MCACC setup menu.
2 Select the channel(s) you want and adjust to your liking.
Use i/j to select the channel.
Use k/l to select the frequency and i/j to boost or cut the EQ. When you’re finished, go back to the top of the screen and press k to return to Ch, then use i/j to select the channel.
! The OVER! indicator shows in the display if the frequency adjustment is too drastic and might distort. If this happens, bring the level down until OVER! disappears from the display.
3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.
You will return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.
Notes
! Changing the frequency curve of one channel too drastically will affect the overall balance. If the speaker balance seems uneven, you can raise or lower channel levels using test tones with the TRIM feature. Use k/l to select TRIM, then use i/j to raise or lower the channel level for the current speaker.
! You cannot select 63Hz for the channel, which is set to SMALL using Speaker Setting.
! The frequencies that can be adjusted by the SW channel are 31Hz, 63Hz, 125Hz and 250Hz.
! Depending on the crossover frequency setting, some frequencies are less effective.

Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional
This setup minimizes the unwanted effects of room reverberation by allowing you to calibrate your system based on the direct sound coming from the speakers.
Performing the Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional procedure is effective when the lower frequencies seem overly reverberant in your listening room (i.e. it sounds ‘boomy’) as shown at Type A below, or when different channels seem to exhibit different reverb characteristics as shown at Type B.

! Reverb Measurement – Use this to measure the reverb characteristics before and after calibration.
! Reverb View – You can check the reverb measurements made for specified frequency ranges in each channel.
— If the Reverb View procedure is performed after the Reverb Measurement operation, depending on the standing wave control setting, differences may appear on the reverb graph. With the Auto MCACC function, the reverberations are measured with the standing waves controlled, so the reverb characteristics graph shows the characteristics with the effect of the standing waves eliminated. By contrast, the
Reverb Measurement function measures the reverberations without controlling the standing waves, so the graph indicates the reverb characteristics including the effect of the standing waves. If you wish to check the reverb characteristics of the room itself (with the standing waves as such), we recommend using the Reverb Measurement function.
! Advanced EQ Setup – Use this to select the time period that will be used for frequency adjustment and calibration, based on the reverb measurement of your listening area. Note that customizing system calibration using this setup will alter the settings you made in

3 If you selected ‘Reverb Measurement’, select EQ ON or EQ OFF, and then START.
The following options determine how the reverb characteristics of your listening area are displayed in
Reverb View:
! EQ OFF – You will see the reverb characteristics of your listening area without the equalization performed by this receiver (before calibration).
! EQ ON – You will see the reverb characteristics of your listening area with the equalization performed by this receiver (after calibration). Note that the EQ response may not appear entirely flat due to adjustments necessary for your listening area.
— The calibration corresponding to the currently selected MCACC preset will be used when EQ ON is selected. To use another MCACC preset, press MCACC to select the MCACC memory you want to store.
— After auto calibration with EQ Type : SYMMETRY (Auto MCACC, etc.), the graph for the inferred reverb characteristics can be displayed by selecting Reverb View. To display the actually measured reverb characteristics after EQ calibration, measure with EQ ON.
When the reverb measurement is finished, you can select Reverb View to see the results on-screen. See
Professional Calibration EQ graphical output on page 101
for troubleshooting information.
4 If you selected ‘Reverb View’, you can check the reverb characteristics for each channel.
Press RETURN when you’re done.
The reverb characteristics are displayed when the Reverb Measurement measurements are conducted.
Use k/l to select the channel, frequency and calibration setting you want to check. Use i/j to go back and forth between the three. The reverb characteristics graph before and after EQ calibration can be displayed by selecting Calibration : Before / After. Note that the markers on the vertical axis indicate decibels in 2 dB steps.
5 If ‘Advanced EQ Setup’ is selected, select the MCACC memory to be stored, then enter the desired time setting for calibration, and then select START.
! To specify the place where the MCACC memory is to be stored, press MCACC to select the MCACC memory you want to store.
Based on the reverb measurement above, you can choose the time period that will be used for the final frequency adjustment and calibration. Even though you can make this setting without reverb measurement, it is best to use the measurement results as a reference for your time setting. For an optimal system calibration based on the direct sound coming from the speakers, we recommend using the 30-50ms setting.
Use k/l to select the setting. Use i/j to switch between them.
Select the setting from the following time periods (in milliseconds): 0-20ms, 10-30ms, 20-40ms, 30-50ms,
40-60ms, 50-70ms and 60-80ms. This setting will be applied to all channels during calibration.
When you’re finished, select START. It will take about 2 to 4 minutes for the calibration to finish.
After the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is set, you are given the option to check the settings on-screen.

2 Choose the set of speakers that you want to set, then select a speaker size.
Use k/l to select the size (and number) of each of the following speakers:
! Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to the subwoofer.
! Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker reproduces bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect a center speaker, choose NO
(the center channel is sent to the front speakers).
! FH – Select LARGE if your front height speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect front height speakers, choose
NO (the front height channel is sent to the front speakers).
— You can adjust this setting only when Speaker System setting is Normal(SB/FH).
— If the surround speakers are set to NO, this setting will automatically be set to NO.
! FW – Select LARGE if your front wide speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect front wide speakers, choose
NO (the front wide channel is sent to the front speakers).
— You can adjust this setting only when Speaker System setting is Normal(SB/FW).
— If the surround speakers are set to NO, this setting will automatically be set to NO.
! Surr – Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the surround channels is sent to the front speakers or a subwoofer).
! SB – Select the number of surround back speakers you have (one, two or none). Select LARGEx2 or LARGEx1 if your surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALLx2 or SMALLx1 to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround back speakers choose
NO.
— If you selected HDZONE, ZONE 2 or Front Bi-Amp (in
Speaker system setting on page 89
) you can’t adjust the surround back settings.
— If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.
! SW – LFE signals and bass frequencies of channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer when YES is selected. Choose the PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies are output from other speakers).
— If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your room you may actually experience a decrease in the amount of bass due low frequency cancellations. In this case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for the front speakers.
If you select NO for the subwoofer the front speakers will automatically be fixed to LARGE. Also, the center, surround, surround back, front height and front wide speakers can’t be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to
SMALL. In this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.
3 Select ‘X. OVER’ and set the crossover frequency.
Frequencies below this point will be sent to the subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).
! This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or the subwoofer, and bass sounds playing back from those selected as SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.
! With Full Auto MCACC setup or Auto MCACC setup (ALL or Speaker Setting), the setting here will not apply and the crossover frequency will be automatically set. Crossover frequency is a frequency aimed at achieving the optimal sound field taking into account the bass capacity of all connected speakers and human aural characteristics.

There seems to be a time lag between the speakers and the output of the subwoofer.
The maximum volume available
(shown in the front panel display) is lower than the +12dB maximum.
Remedy
Since ECO MODE 1 and ECO MODE 2 reduce the power consumption, the speakers are switched in function of the number of input channels. Because of this, a speaker switching sound (clicking sound) may be produced when the number of input channels is switched. If this bothers you, switch to a different listening mode.
Depending on the listening mode, the front height (or front wide) and surround back speakers may switch automatically in function of changes in the input audio. A speaker switching sound (clicking sound) will be heard from the receiver at this time. If this sound
Fully extend the FM wire antenna, adjust the position for best reception and secure to a wall, etc.

).
Adjust the position and direction of the AM antenna.
Noise may be caused by interference from other equipment, such as a fluorescent light, motor, etc. Switch off or move the other equipment, or move the AM antenna.
This is not a malfunction of the receiver. The scan function of your player alters the digital information, making it unreadable, resulting in noise being output. Lower the volume when scanning.
Make sure that the input signal type is set to DIGITAL (see
Choosing the input signal on page 55 ).
You can only make a digital recording from a digital source, and an analog recording from an analog source.
For digital sources, make sure that what you’re recording isn’t copy protected.

Video
Symptom
No image is output when an input is selected.
Noisy, intermittent, or distorted picture.
Video signals are not output from the component terminal.
The picture’s movement is unnatural.
Video parameters cannot be used.
Remedy
Check the video connections of the source component.
For HDMI, or when V.CONV is set to OFF and a TV and another component are con-
nected with different cords (in Setting the Video options
on
), you must connect your TV to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video component. For the component video input, however, signals are only output from the HDMI output, so when using the component video input, set V.CONV to ON.
Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component video or HDMI cables (see
The Input Setup menu on page 41
).
Check the video output settings of the source component.
Check that the video input you selected on your TV is correct.
Some components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. If adjusting this receiver’s Resolution setting (in
on
) to OFF.
When the HDMI OUT 1/2 setting of the output parameter function is set to OFF, set it to
ON.
If HDZONE is set to on, video images connected using a video cable or component cable
are not output from the HDMI terminal. To output video images, turn HDZONE off ( page
).
Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning, for example), or the video quality may just be poor (with some video game units, for example). The picture quality may also depend on the settings, etc. of your display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect the source and display device using the same type of connection (component or composite), then start playback again.
When a monitor only compatible with resolutions of 480i is connected to the component terminal and another monitor is connected to the HDMI terminal, the video signals may not be output to the monitor connected to the component terminal. If this happens, do the following:
— Turn off the power of the monitor connected to the HDMI terminal.
— Change the VIDEO P. menu RES setting (see
on
).
— Video signals from the HDMI terminal cannot be output to the component terminals.
Input the video signals from the player or other source to the composite or component terminals. When using the component terminal, assign it at Input Setup (see
on
).
When Resolution under VIDEO PARAMETER is set to 1080/24p or 4K/24p, the picture may not be displayed properly for some source materials. In this case, set the resolution to something other than 1080/24p or 4K/24p (
).
For audio only input (TUNER, CD, and TV), the video parameter function cannot be used.
Use for video or input with a GUI display.
Cannot be used when the HDZONE is ON. Turn OFF the HDZONE.

FAQ
Settings
Symptom
The Auto MCACC Setup continually shows an error.
After using the Auto MCACC Setup, the speaker size setting is incorrect.
Can’t adjust the Fine Speaker Distance setting properly.
The display shows KEY LOCK ON when you try to make settings.
Most recent settings have been erased.
The various system settings are not stored.
Certain listening modes or
HOME MENU items cannot be selected.
Feels like there is no subwoofer EQ effect.
Remedy
The ambient noise level may be too high. Keep the noise level in the room as low as pos-
sible (see also Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 40 ). If the noise
level cannot be kept low enough, you will have to set up the surround sound manually
(
).
When using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L
(Single) terminals.
To use a 5.1-channel speaker set, use the surround speakers for the surround channel, not the surround back channel.
Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
If Reverse Phase is displayed, try the following:
— The speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.
— Depending on the type of speakers and their installation conditions, Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected. If this happens, select
GO NEXT and continue.
— If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.), it may not be possible to properly identify the polarity.
There may have been some low frequency noise in the room from an air-conditioner, motor, etc. Switch off all other appliances in the room and use Auto MCACC Setup again.
Depending on a number of factors (bass reproduction capabilities of the speakers, room size, speaker placement, etc.) this may occur in some cases. Change the speaker setting manually in
Speaker Setting on page 89 , and use the ALL (Keep SP System) option for
the Auto MCACC menu in
on
page 82 if this is a recurring
problem.
Check that the speakers are all in phase (make sure the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals are matched up properly).
With the receiver in standby, press u STANDBY/ON for about 5 seconds while holding down SPEAKERS to disable the key lock.
The power cord was disconnected from the wall while adjusting this setting.
Settings are only stored if all the zones are turned off. Turn off all the zones before unplugging the power cord.
Do not pull out the power cord while conducting the settings. (The settings will be stored when both the main zone and sub zone turn off. Turn off all zones before pulling out the power cord.)
When Operation Mode is set to Basic, the Pioneer-recommended settings are made and not all of the functions can be used. To use all of the functions without restrictions, set
Operation Mode to Expert (see

).
The effect becomes less when the set frequency value of the crossover frequency is low.
When setting a high frequency value, the subwoofer EQ effect becomes stronger. However, setting a higher crossover frequency increases the share that the subwoofer bears for low-frequency playback. For that reason, it is disadvantageous in terms of the phase point of view. Set to your preference.
Professional Calibration EQ graphical output
Symptom
The reverb characteristics graph after EQ calibration does not appear entirely flat.
EQ adjustments made using the
Manual MCACC setup do not appear to change the reverb characteristics graph after EQ calibration.
Lower frequency response curves do not seem to have been calibrated for
SMALL speakers.
Remedy
There are cases where the graph does not appear flat (even when selecting ALL CH ADJ in the Auto MCACC Setup) due to adjustments made to compensate for room characteristics to achieve optimal sound.
Areas of the graph may appear identical (before and after) when there is little or no adjustment needed.
The graph may appear to have shifted vertically when comparing before and after measurements.
Despite level adjustments being made, the filters used for analysis may not display these adjustments in the reverb characteristics graph after EQ calibration. However, these adjustments are taken into account by the filters dedicated to overall system calibration.
Low frequencies used in bass management (the subwoofer channel) will not change for speakers that have been specified as SMALL in the configuration, or do not output these frequencies.
Calibration is performed, but due to your speakers’ low frequency limitations, no measurable sound is output for display.

For example, if the wireless LAN router’s IP address is “192.168.1.1”, set the receiver’s IP address to
“192.168.1.XXX” (*1), the subnet mask to “255.255.255.0”, the gateway and DNS to “192.168.1.1”.
Next, set the wireless LAN converter’s IP address to “192.168.1.249” (*2).
(*1) Set the “XXX” in “192.168.1.XXX” to a number between 2 and 248 that is not assigned to other devices.
(*2) Set the “249” in “192.168.1.249” to a number between 2 and 249 that is not assigned to other devices.
Try making the wireless LAN converter’s advanced settings.
! The wireless LAN converter can be connected to a computer to make the advanced wireless LAN settings.
For details, see the CD-ROM included for the wireless LAN converter. Check the settings of the wireless
LAN router, etc., then change the settings of the wireless LAN converter.
Note, however, that making the advanced wireless LAN settings will not necessarily improve the wireless
LAN environment. Be careful when changing the settings.
The access point is set to conceal the SSID.
! In this case, the SSID may not be displayed on the access point list screen. If not, set the SSID, etc., by making the wireless LAN converter settings on the receiver manually.
The access point’s security settings use WEP 152-bit length code key or shared key authentication.
! The receiver does not support WEP 152-bit length code key or shared key authentication.
Network connections cannot be established even when the above measures are taken.
! Reset the wireless LAN converter. After this, redo the wireless LAN converter’s settings.
About resetting
1. Check that the wireless LAN converter’s power is on.
2. Press the wireless LAN converter’s reset button for at least 3 seconds.
3. Release the reset button.

Speaker Setting Guide
In order to achieve an even better surround effect, it is important to accurately position the speakers and make their volume and tone characteristics uniform so as to finely focus the multi-channel sound.
The three major elements in positioning the speakers are distance, angle and orientation (the direction in which the speakers are pointing).
Distance: The distance of all the speakers should be equal.
Angle: The speakers should be horizontally symmetrical.
Orientation: The orientation should be horizontally symmetrical.
In most homes, however, it is not possible to achieve this environment. For the distance, on this receiver it is possible to automatically correct the speaker distance electrically to a precision of 1 cm using the Full Auto MCACC
Setup function (
Step 1: Speaker layout and distance adjustment
Use speaker stands or the like to make sure the speakers are steady, and leave at least 10 cm from the surrounding walls. Position the speakers attentively so that the speakers on the left and right are at equal angles from the listening position (center of the adjustments). (We recommend using cords, etc., when adjusting the layout.)
Ideally all the speakers should be equidistant from the listening position.
110
Note
If the speakers cannot be set at equal distances (on a circle), use the Auto MCACC Setup speaker distance correction and Fine Speaker Distance functions to make them equalize the distance artificially.
Step 2: Adjusting the speaker height
Adjust the heights (angles) of the different speakers.
Adjust so that the front speaker units reproducing mid- and high frequencies is roughly at the height of the ears.
If the center speaker cannot be set at the same height as the front speakers, adjust its angle of elevation to point it to the listening position.
Set surround speaker 1 so that it is not under the height of the ears.
Step 3: Adjusting the speaker orientation
If the left and right speakers are not pointing in the same direction, the tone will not be the same on the right and left, and as a result the sound field will not be reproduced properly. However, if all the speakers are pointed towards the listening position, the sound field will seem cramped. Testing by the Pioneer Multi-channel Research
Group has shown that a good sense of sound positioning can be achieved by pointing all the speakers towards an area 30 cm to 80 cm behind the listening position (between the surround speakers and the listening position).
However, the sense of sound positioning can differ according to the conditions in the room and the speakers being used. In smaller environments in particular (when the front speakers are close to the listening position), with this method the speakers will be pointed too inward. We suggest you use this example of installation as reference when trying out different installation methods.
Step 4: Positioning and adjusting the subwoofer
Placing the subwoofer between the center and front speakers makes even music sources sound more natural (if there is only one subwoofer, it doesn’t matter if it is placed on the left or right side). The low bass sound output from the subwoofer is not directional and there is no need to adjust the height. Normally the subwoofer is placed on the floor. Put it in a position at which it will not cancel out the bass sound output from the other speakers.
Also note that placing it near a wall may result in sympathetic vibrations with the building that could excessively amplify the bass sound.
14
Additional information
If the subwoofer must be installed near a wall, place it at an angle so that it is not parallel to the wall surface. This can help reduce any sympathetic vibrations, but depending on the shape of the room this could result in standing waves. However, even if standing waves are generated, their influence on the sound quality can be prevented
using the Auto MCACC’s standing wave control function ( page 85 ).
Step 5: Default settings with the Auto MCACC Setup (auto sound field correction) function
It is more effective to perform the Full Auto MCACC Setup (
above have been completed.
Note
The distance to the subwoofer may be slightly larger than the distance actually measured with a tape measure, etc. This is because this distance is corrected for electric delay, and is not a problem.
Positional relationship between speakers and monitor
Position of front speakers and monitor
The front speakers should be as equidistant as possible to the monitor.

Position of center speaker and monitor
Since mostly dialogs are output from the center speaker, keeping the center speaker as close as possible to the screen makes the overall sound more natural. For TVs using Braun tubes, however, when installing the center speaker on the floor, adjust its angle of elevation to point it towards the listening position.

Monitor
! If the center speaker is not of the shielded type, install it away from the TV.

Additional information
Important information regarding the HDMI connection
There are cases where you may not be able to route HDMI signals through this receiver (this depends on the HDMI-equipped component you are connecting-check with the manufacturer for HDMI compatibility information).
If you aren’t receiving HDMI signals properly through this receiver (from your component), please try one of the following configurations when connecting up.
Configuration A
Use component video cables to connect the video output of your HDMI-equipped component to the receiver’s component video input. The receiver can then convert the analog component video signal to a digital HDMI signal for transmission to the display. For this configuration, use the most convenient connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio connections.
Note
The picture quality will change slightly during conversion.
Configuration B
Connect your HDMI-equipped component directly to the display using an HDMI cable. Then use the most convenient connection (digital is recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. See the operating instructions for more on audio connections. Set the display volume to minimum when using this configuration.
Notes
! If your display only has one HDMI terminal, you can only receive HDMI video from the connected component.
! Depending on the component, audio output may be limited to the number of channels available from the connected display unit (for example audio output is reduced to 2 channels for a monitor with stereo audio limitations).
! If you want to switch the input function, you’ll have to switch functions on both the receiver and your display unit.
! Since the sound is muted on the display when using the HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on the display every time you switch input functions.
Cleaning the unit
! Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and dirt.
! When the surface is dirty, wipe with a soft cloth dipped in some neutral cleanser diluted five or six times with water, and wrung out well, and then wipe again with a dry cloth. Do not use furniture wax or cleansers.
! Never use thinners, benzene, insecticide sprays or other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will corrode the surface.
