Determining the speakers’ application
This unit is equipped with speaker terminals for
9 channels, allowing users to select a variety of speaker layouts/usage patterns according to their tastes. The terminals to which the speakers should be connected differ according to the speaker layout/usage pattern. Select one speaker layout/usage pattern before connecting the speakers. For instructions on connections, see Installing your speaker system on page 19.
!
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 setting must be made if you use any of the connections shown below other than [A] (see Speaker system setting on page 87).
!
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 SPEAKERS button to switch the speakers from which sound is output. For details, see
Switching the speaker terminals on page 61.

When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the front channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency component is played from the front speakers, so the speakers could be damaged.)
!
After connecting, be sure to conduct the
Full Auto MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure. See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto
MCACC) on page 34.

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.
THX speaker system setup
If you are using a THX certified subwoofer, use the THX INPUT jack on the subwoofer (if your subwoofer has one) or switch the filter position to THX on your subwoofer.
See also THX Audio Setting on page 89 to make the settings that will give you the best sound experience when using the Home THX modes
(page 46).

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.
En
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.
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 core wires touch each other or come in contact with the rear panel or the metal parts of other speaker terminals, the protective circuit may be activated, setting the power to the standby mode.
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.
1 2 3
10 mm
Note
!
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.
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.

CAUTION
!
Most speakers with both High and Low terminals have two metal plates that connect the High to the Low terminals. These must be removed when you are bi-amping the speakers or you could severely damage the amplifier. See your speaker manual for more information.
!
If your speakers have a removable crossover network, make sure you do not remove it for biamping. Doing so may damage your speakers.
Bi-wiring your speakers
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support bi-amping.
!
With these connections, the Speaker System setting makes no difference.
CAUTION
!
Don’t connect different speakers from the same terminal in this way.
!
When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for bi-amping shown above.
% To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver.

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).

With an HDMI cable, video and audio signals can be transferred in high quality over a single cable.
About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video sources are output through all of the MONITOR
VIDEO OUT jacks. The only exception is HDMI: since this resolution cannot be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to the receiver’s HDMI output when connecting this video source.
If several video components are assigned to the same input function (see The Input Setup menu on page 36), the converter gives priority to HDMI, component, then composite (in that order).
Note
!
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 converted. In this case, try switching Digital Video Conversion
(in Setting the Video options on page 59) OFF .
!
The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/576i, 480p/576p,
720p and 1080i. 1080p signals cannot be converted.
!
Only signals with an input resolution of 480i/576i can be converted from the component video input for the composite
MONITOR OUT terminals.
!
For optimal video performance, THX recommends switching Digital Video
Conversion (in Setting the Video options on page 59) OFF .

About HDMI
The HDMI connection transfers uncompressed digital video, as well as almost every kind of digital audio.
This receiver incorporates High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI ® ) technology.
This receiver supports the functions described below through HDMI connections.
!
Digital transfer of uncompressed video
(contents protected by HDCP (1080p/24,
1080p/60, etc.))
!
3D signal transfer
!
Deep Color signal transfer
!
x.v.Color signal transfer
!
ARC (Audio Return Channel)
!
Input of multi-channel linear PCM digital audio signals (192 kHz or less) for up to 8 channels
!
Input of the following digital audio formats:
— Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, DTS, High bitrate audio (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master
Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio),
DVD-Audio, CD, SACD (DSD signal), Video
CD, Super VCD
!
Synchronized operation with components using the Control with HDMI function (see
Control with HDMI function on page 54)
Note
!
An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVI d HDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.
!
If you connect a component that is not compatible with HDCP, an
HDCP ERROR message is displayed on the front panel display. Some components that are compatible with HDCP still cause this message to be displayed, but so long as there is no problem with displaying video this is not a malfunction.
!
Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
!
This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital
Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master
Audio. To take advantage of these formats, however, make sure that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding format.
!
Use a High Speed HDMI ® cable. If an HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI ® cable is used, it may not work properly.
!
When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.
!
Signal transfer is 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.

If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker Setting on page 85) to
LARGE .
!
You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left ( SURROUND BACK L (Single) ) terminal only.
!
The sound from the surround back terminals will depend on how you have configured the Speaker system setting on page 87.
!
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.
!
To hear sound only from the pre-outs, switch the speaker system to OFF , or simply disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.

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 a separate TV and speakers for your primary ( ZONE 2 ) sub zone, and a separate TV and a separate amplifier (and speakers) for your secondary ( ZONE 3 ) sub zone. You will also need a separate amplifier if you are not using the MULTI-ZONE setup using speaker terminals
(ZONE 2) on page 29 for your primary sub zone.
There are two primary sub zone setups possible with this system. Choose whichever works best for you.

Connecting an IR receiver
If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote control in another zone, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead of the remote sensor on the front panel of this receiver.
!
Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver remote sensor window.
!
Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your component to check for IR compatibility.
!
If using two remote controls (at the same time), the IR receiver’s remote sensor takes priority over the remote sensor on the front panel.

Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full
Auto MCACC)
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.
By performing the Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure, the frequency-phase characteristics of the connected speakers are also calibrated.
Once the Full Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed, the Full Band Phase Control function is automatically turned on (page 48).
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.

!
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.

Display on page 12).
Better sound using Phase
Control
This receiver’s Phase Control feature uses phase correction measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/or coloring of the sound.
Phase Control technology provides coherent sound reproduction through the use of phase matching for an optimal sound image. The default setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control switched on for all sound sources.
1 Set the remote control to the receiver operation mode.
2 Press PHASE CTRL (PHASE CONTROL) to switch on phase correction.
The PHASE CONTROL indicator on the front panel lights.
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.
!
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 57.
!
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 on page 57.

Better sound using Phase
Control and Full Band Phase
Control
This receiver is equipped with the two types of functions that correct phase distortion and group delay: Phase Control and Full Band
Phase Control. Activating Full Band Phase
Control is strongly recommended because it also involves the effects of Phase Control.
The Full Band Phase Control feature calibrates the frequency-phase characteristics of the speakers connected.
Standard speakers designed exclusively for audio use generally reproduce sound with the divided frequency bands output from a speaker system consisting of multiple speakers (in case of typical 3-way speakers, for instance, the tweeter, the squawker (midrange), and the woofer output sound in the high-, middle-, and low-frequency ranges, respectively). Though these speakers are designed to flatten the frequency-amplitude characteristics across wide ranges, there are cases where the group delay characteristics are not effectively flattened. This phase distortion of the speakers subsequently causes group delay (the delay of low-frequency sound against high-frequency sound) during audio signal playback.
This receiver analyzes the frequency-phase characteristics of the speakers by measuring test signals output from the speakers with the supplied microphone, therefore flattening the analyzed frequency-phase characteristics during audio signal playback - the same correction is made for a pair of left and right speakers.
This correction minimizes group delay between the ranges of a speaker and improves the frequency-phase characteristics across all ranges.
Furthermore, the enhanced frequency-phase characteristics between channels ensure better surround sound integration for multichannel setting.
En
1 Set the remote control to the receiver operation mode.
2 Press PHASE CTRL (PHASE CONTROL) to select FULLBAND PHASE.
Both the Phase Control and Full Band Phase
Control functions are switched on. The
FULL BAND and indicator, on the front panel lights.
!
The 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 on page 57.
Note
!
To calibrate and analyze the frequencyphase characteristics of the speakers, either follow the Full Auto MCACC procedure under Advanced MCACC
(see Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page
34), or set Auto MCACC menu under
Auto MCACC under ADVANCED MCACC to
Full Band Phase Ctrl . Select ALL when you perform the Auto MCACC with Auto MCACC menu. Upon calibration of the frequencyphase characteristics of the speakers, the
Full Band Phase Ctrl feature is automatically switched on.
!
The original characteristics of group delay of the speakers calibrated and the targeted characteristics after correction can be displayed graphically in the GUI screen (see
Checking MCACC Data on page 85). Also, by transferring the measurement data to the computer using the CD-ROM (AVNavigator), the original characteristics of group delay of the speakers calibrated and the corrected characteristics of group delay can be displayed in 3-dimension on your PC. For details, refer to the operating instructions for the Advanced MCACC PC Display
Application Software included on the CD-ROM
(AVNavigator).
!
Depending on the input signal and listening mode, it may not be possible to set the
Full Band Phase Ctrl mode to ON .
Using the Full Band Phase
Control’s FRONT ALIGN function
Full Band Phase Control calibrates frequency phase disturbances (group delay) for the full speaker band (Full Band) ( SYMMETRY ), but with this unit it is also possible to calibrate the frequency phase characteristics of other speakers to the frequency phase characteristics of the front speakers ( FRONT ALIGN ).
Full Band Phase Control calibration can be performed in the FRONT ALIGN mode by making the settings and performing the operations below.
1 Perform Full Band Phase Control measurements with the Full Auto MCACC
(or Auto MCACC) procedure.
2 Perform measurements with EQ Type set to FRONT ALIGN with the Full Auto
MCACC (or Auto MCACC) procedure.
3 Press the MCACC button to select the MCACC memory at which the measurements performed with EQ Type set to FRONT ALIGN are stored.
4 Turn Full Band Phase Control on.

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.

When such devices are used simultaneously with this remote control, signal interference may occur, resulting in signal dropouts.
To improve reception quality, try the following:
!
Turn off the other device emitting radio waves.
!
Place the interfering device farther away
(Move both the remote control and RF adapter away from the interfering device).
Do not use this remote control in the following locations, since transmission interruption may result:
!
Locations where another device using the same 2.4 GHz frequency is being used, such as a Bluetooth wireless technology device or wireless LAN, or in the vicinity where the magnetic field, static electricity, or radio wave interference from another device may occur (depending on the environment, radio waves may not transmit effectively).
!
Move the radio farther away.
!
If visual noise appears on the television screen, it is possible that this remote control is producing adverse influence on the antenna input of the television, video device,
BS tuner, or CS tuner. Move this remote control farther away from the antenna input of the affected device.
Usable range
!
Designed for use only within private homes
(signal transmission distance may be reduced due to room design or conditions).
In the following cases, this remote control cannot operate due to poor or erratic radio wave transmission.
!
When signal transmission is blocked by a wall or floor constructed of ferro-concrete or metal.
!
Nearby large metal furniture objects.
!
In large crowds of people, or near obstructive buildings.
!
Locations where another device using the same 2.4 GHz frequency is being used, such as a Bluetooth wireless technology device or wireless LAN, or in the vicinity where the magnetic field, static electricity, or radio wave interference from another device may occur.
!
When living in a housing complex (apartment, condominium, etc.) where the next-door unit has a microwave oven located near to this remote control. Note that even a microwave oven will not interfere with this remote control when not in use.
!
When using multiple Omni-Directional RF
Remote Control in the same location.
Signal reflection
!
The signals reaching the remote control include those transmitted in a straight line from the main unit (direct waves), and those that are received after being bounced off of walls, furniture, and other buildings (reflected waves).
As a result, reflected waves can be generated by obstacles and other reflective objects, causing variations in the signal quality. In such cases, try slightly changing the position of the remote control.
CAUTION
!
With the exception of cases determined by law to be the subject of legal liability,
Pioneer refuses all responsibility for any harm resulting to the customer or other person as a result of the use of this remote control.

RCU SETUP .
2 Press the number button for the receiver (“Receiver 1” to “Receiver 4”) you wish to operate.
For example, to operate “Receiver 2”, press ‘ 2 ’.
If the LED lights for one second and continues to flash, the setting has been successfully completed.
When the preset code is input, the LED flashes three times to indicate that the setting has failed.
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 75).
!
For greater convenience, assign the TV connected to the MONITOR OUT terminal to the TV CTRL button, and assign your satellite/ cable receiver or set-top box connected to the
TV/SAT input terminal to the TV/SAT input button. If a single device is connected to both terminals, that device should be assigned to both the TV CTRL and TV/SAT input buttons.

About remote control operation
Important
!
The procedure for setting the receiver operation mode differs for the remote controls included with the SC-LX85 and SC-LX75. For the SC-LX85’s remote control, set the remote control operation selector switch to RECEIVER .
For the SC-LX75’s remote control, press the
button. When “set the remote control to the receiver operation mode” is indicated in these instructions, use the respective procedure described above.
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 RECEIVER to switch on the receiver and your TV.
Make sure that the TV’s video input is set to this receiver.
2 Set the remote control to the receiver operation mode, 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 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 34 for a quick and effective automatic surround setup.
!
Auto MCACC – See Automatic MCACC
(Expert) on page 80 for a more detailed
MCACC setup.
In addition, the Full Band Phase Control function calibrates the frequency-phase characteristics of the connected speakers.
!
Manual MCACC – Fine-tunes your speaker settings and customizes the Acoustic
Calibration EQ (see Manual MCACC setup on page 82).
!
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)
If your setup requires more detailed settings than those provided in Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 34, 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).
Important
!
Make sure the microphone/speakers are not moved during the Auto MCACC Setup.
!
The screen saver will automatically appear after five minutes of inactivity.
CAUTION
!
The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are output at high volume.
1 Select ‘Auto MCACC’ from the
Advanced MCACC menu, then press
ENTER.
If the Advanced MCACC screen is not displayed, refer to Making receiver settings from the
Advanced MCACC menu on page 80.
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 (page 82).
EQ Pro & S-Wave measurement is also taken when ALL or Keep SP System is selected. See Acoustic Calibration EQ
Professional on page 83 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 57.
!
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.

THX speakers (all speakers other than the front speakers are set to SMALL ). In other cases, leave at NO .
!
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:

It may not be possible to measure correctly if the microphone is placed on a table, sofa, etc.
4 When you’re finished setting the options, select START then press ENTER.
5 Follow the instructions on-screen.
6 Wait for the Auto MCACC Setup to finish outputting test tones.
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 checking for ambient noise (see Problems when using the Auto
MCACC Setup on page 35) 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.
!
If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase
(dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.),
Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected.
If is displayed, the speaker’s wiring (+ and –) may be inverted. Check the speaker connections.
— If the connections were wrong, turn off the power, disconnect the power cord, then reconnect properly. After this, perform the Auto MCACC procedure again.
— If the connections were right, select
GO NEXT and continue.
8 Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press
ENTER.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs more test tones to determine the optimum receiver settings.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is happening. It may take 3 to 7 minutes.
!
If you selected a STAND.WAVE Multi-Point setup (in step 2), you will be asked to place the mic at the 2nd and 3rd reference points before finally placing it at your main listening position.
9 The Auto MCACC Setup procedure is completed and the Advanced MCACC menu reappears automatically.
The settings made in the Auto MCACC Setup should give you excellent surround sound from your system, but it is also possible to adjust these settings manually using the
Manual MCACC setup menu (starting below) or Manual SP Setup menu (starting on page
87).
!
Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 87.
!
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 Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.
You can also choose to view the settings by selecting individual parameters from the
MCACC Data Check screen (see Checking
MCACC Data on page 85).
Press RETURN after you have finished checking each screen. When you’re finished, select
RETURN to go back to the Home Menu .
Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Auto MCACC
Setup.

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 34 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 80, 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 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.
Note
!
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.
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 View – You can check the reverb measurements made for specified frequency ranges in each channel.
— If the Reverb View procedure is performed after the Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning
(Full Auto MCACC) on page 34 or
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.

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 ( Full 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 98 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 Full Auto MCACC or
Reverb Measurement measurements are conducted.
Use k / l to select the channel, frequency and calibration setting you want to check. Use

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.
Precision Distance
SC-LX85 only
Before using this function, perform the Full
Auto MCACC Setup procedure (see page 34).
Performing the Full Auto MCACC procedure corrects the distance to a precision of 1 cm, but the Precision Distance function lets you adjust the distance to the speakers (their position) with a precision of under 1 cm. Here, rather than correct the numerical value of the distance, actually move the physical positions of the speakers to fine-adjust (the subwoofer cannot be adjusted). The input from the microphone is indicated on the screen. Fine-adjust the positions of the speakers so that the gauge reading is maximum. The detailed distance adjustments that were previously performed by skilled installers by ear can easily be performed watching the gauge on the monitor. Place the microphone in the same position as when the microphone was connected and the Full Auto
MCACC operation was performed.
1 Select ‘Precision Distance’ from the
Manual MCACC setup menu.
2 Fine-adjust the positions of the speakers in sequence, starting from the front right channel.
Test pulses are output from the speaker for the selected channel and from one other speaker.
Move the position of the selected speaker 1 cm towards or away from the microphone. Watch the screen when doing so, and fine-adjust the positions of the speakers so that the gauge reading is maximum. Also, the channel serving as the standard differs according to the channel being adjusted. Do not move the speaker serving as the standard channel.
The maximum gauge reading is 10.0. (If the reading stays under 10.0, adjust the speaker for the maximum value.)
!
If the microphone is placed in a different position from when the Full Auto MCACC or Auto MCACC procedure was performed, it may not be possible to adjust properly. In this case, we recommend performing the procedure at Fine Speaker Distance on page
82 in the Manual MCACC measurements, then performing the adjustment described here without moving the microphone.
!
The adjustment here is for adjusting for an error of 1 cm or less (not adjustable with the Auto MCACC Setup). 0.0 may be displayed after distance correction with the
Auto MCACC Setup, but even in this case this adjustment allows you to optimize the correction. Note that if the Auto MCACC
Setup is performed after completing the fineadjustment here, the correction precision will drop to about 1 cm.
!
Like with the Auto MCACC Setup, perform this adjustment in as quiet an environment as possible. 0.0 will be displayed if abrupt noise is input during the adjustment.
!
The distance for all the channels can only be made uniform even if the R (front right) channel is adjusted in the proper order.
!
Be very careful not to tip the speakers over when moving them.
!
The result of the adjustment performed here can be checked by listening to the test pulses output at the Precision Distance (the test pulses will be more centrally positioned between the speakers than before the adjustment was performed). Be careful not to change the distance values at this time.

It is a good idea to make sure that the settings made in Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 34 are correct. Note that this setting applies to all MCACC presets, and cannot be set independently.
!
If you’re using a THX speaker setup, set all speakers to SMALL .
1 Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the
Manual SP Setup menu.
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
9.1ch FH/FW , 7.1ch + Speaker B or
7.1ch FH/FW + ZONE 2 .
— 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 9.1ch FH/FW or 7.1ch FH/FW + ZONE 2 .
En
— 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 .
— You can adjust this setting only when
Speaker System setting is 9.1ch FH/FW ,
7.1ch + Speaker B , 7.1ch Front Bi-Amp or 7.1ch + ZONE 2 .
— 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.
!
If you’re using THX speakers, confirm that the crossover frequency is set to 80Hz .

Other audio problems
Symptom
Speaker switching sound (clicking sound) is heard from receiver during playback.
Broadcast stations cannot be selected automatically, or there is considerable noise in radio broadcasts.
Noise is output when scanning a DTS
CD.
When playing a DTS format LD there is audible noise on the soundtrack.
Can’t record audio.
Subwoofer output is very low.
Everything seems to be set up correctly, but the playback sound is odd.
The Phase Control feature doesn’t seem to have an audible effect.
Full Band Phase Control cannot be selected.
Noise or hum can be heard even when there is no sound being input.
Remedy
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 bothers you, we recommend to change the speaker terminal option (see
Switching the speaker terminals on page 61).
Fully extend the FM wire antenna, adjust the position for best reception and secure to a wall, etc.
Use an outdoor antenna for better reception (see page 29).
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 47).
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.
To route more signal to the subwoofer, set it to PLUS or set the front speakers to SMALL (see Speaker Setting on page 88).
The speakers may be out of phase. Check that the positive/negative speaker terminals on the receiver are matched with the corresponding terminals on the speakers (see Connecting the speakers on page 18).
If applicable, check that the lowpass filter switch on your subwoofer is off, or the lowpass cutoff is set to the highest frequency setting. If there is a PHASE setting on your subwoofer, set it to 0º (or depending on the subwoofer, the setting where you think it has the best overall effect on the sound).
Make sure the speaker distance setting is correct for all speakers (see
Speaker Distance on page 89).
Perform Full Auto MCACC measurements (see Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 34). Full
Band Phase Control automatically turns on once measurements are completed.
Check that personal computers or other digital components connected to the same power source are not causing interference.
Symptom
Can’t select some Input functions by the INPUT SELECTOR on the front panel or the INPUT SELECT button on the remote control.
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.

Video
Symptom
No image is output when an input is selected.
Can’t record video.
Noisy, intermittent, or distorted picture.
Video signals are not output from the component terminal.
The picture's movement is unnatural.
Remedy
Check the video connections of the source component.
For HDMI, or when digital video conversion is set to OFF and a TV and another component are connected with different cords (in Setting the Video options on page 59), you must connect your TV to this receiver using the same type of video cable as you used to connect your video component.
Make sure the input assignment is correct for components connected using component video or HDMI cables (see The Input Setup menu on page 36).
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 Setting the
Video options on page 59) and/or the resolution settings on your component or display doesn’t work, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the
Video options on page 59) to OFF .
Check that the source is not copy-protected.
The video converter is not available when making recordings. Check that the same type of video cable is used for connecting both the recorder and the video source (the one you want to record) to this receiver.
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 PARAMETER menu RES setting (see Setting the Video options on page 59).
— 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 The Input Setup menu on page 36).
When Resolution under VIDEO PARAMETER is set to 1080/24p, the picture may not be displayed properly for some source materials. In this case, set the resolution to something other than 1080/24p (page 59).
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.
Remedy
The ambient noise level may be too high. Keep the noise level in the room as low as possible (see also Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup on page 35). If the noise level cannot be kept low enough, you will have to set up the surround sound manually (page 87).
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 airconditioner, 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 88, and use the ALL (Keep SP System) option for the Auto MCACC menu in Automatic
MCACC (Expert) on page 80 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).

14 Additional information
Symptom
SC-LX85 only: Gauge (value) does not increase with the
Precision Distance adjustment.
Remedy
Check that the speakers are all in phase (make sure the positive (+) and negative (–) terminals are matched up properly).
Perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure before the Precision Distance adjustment (see Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto
MCACC) on page 34).
Place the microphone accurately in the same position as when the
Full Auto MCACC procedure was performed.
Do not move the speaker used as the reference point. Also, adjust in order, starting from the front right speaker.
When adjusting the speaker positions, do not move the speakers much; only move them about 1 cm towards or away from the microphone.

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.

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 (page 34).
For the volume and sound quality as well, accurate sound field correction using the equalizer and speaker phase characteristic correction using the Full Band Phase Control function
(page 48) together make it possible to achieve the ideal listening environment.
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.
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 (or Precision Distance – SC-
LX85 only) 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.
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.
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 83).
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.
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 (page 34) and Precision
Distance (SC-LX85 only) (page 84) procedure once the adjustments described 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.
L
45° to 60°
R
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.

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.
Note
!
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.
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

George Lucas’ personal desire to make your experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your home theatre, as faithful as possible to what the director intended.
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theatres with similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not changed for playback in a small home theatre environment. THX engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home, correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On this product, when the
THX indicator is on, THX features are automatically added in Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema,
THX Surround EX).
surround speakers so that they more closely match the tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers. This ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers.
Adaptive Decorrelation
In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theatre there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest speaker as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel’s time and phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This expands the listening position and creates-with only two speakers- the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theatre.
Re-Equalization
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie theaters using very different professional equipment. Re-Equalization restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in a small home environment.
Timbre Matching
The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie theatre, there is an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all around you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located to the side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature filters the information going to the
THX Ultra2/Select2 Plus
Before any home theatre component can be THX Ultra2/Select2 Plus certified, it must incorporate all the features above and also pass a rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a product feature the
THX Ultra2/Select2 Plus logo, which is your guarantee that the Home Theatre products you purchase will give you superb performance for many years to come. THX Ultra2/Select2 Plus requirements cover every aspect of the product including pre-amplifier and power amplifier performance and operation, and hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain.
THX Surround EX
THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories and the THX Ltd. In a movie theater, film soundtracks that have been encoded with
Dolby Digital Surround EX technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right, surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound localization than ever before. Movies that were created using the
Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, when released into the home consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the packaging.
A list of movies created using this technology can be found on the Dolby web site at http:// www.dolby.com.
Only amplifier and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX logo, when in the THX
Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this new technology in the home.
This product may also engage the “THX
Surround EX” mode during the playback of
5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital
Surround EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the Surround Back channel will be program dependent and may or may not be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the tastes of the individual listener.
Boundary Gain Compensation
TM
Depending on the listener’s and the subwoofer’s position, the listener may experience an excessive bass effect. This feature compensates for excessive bass resulting from a boundary gain effect. This feature is designed to operate when used with a subwoofer certified to THX
Ultra2/Select2 TM specifications.
THX Loudness Plus Description
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology featured in THX Ultra2 Plus TM and
THX Select2 Plus TM Certified amplifiers. With
THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can now experience the rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of turning the volume below Reference Level is that certain sound elements can be lost or perceived differently by the listener. THX Loudness
Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient surround channel levels and frequency response. This enables users to experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume setting.
THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening in any THX listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX
Loudness Plus settings for each type of content.
