The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
THE MODEL NUMBER AND SERIAL NUMBER OF
THIS EQUIPMENT ARE ON THE REAR OR BOTTOM.
RECORD THESE NUMBERS ON YOUR ENCLOSED
WARRANTY CARD AND KEEP IN A SAFE PLACE
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

[B] 7.2 channel surround system (Front wide)
! Speaker System setting: Normal(SB/FW)
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.

! 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 81).
! Sound does not come through simultaneously from the front height, front wide, speaker B and surround back
speakers. Output speakers are different depending on the input signal or listening mode.
SBR
SBL
This plan replaces the left and right front height speakers shown in [A] with the left and right front wide speakers
(FWL/FWR).
It is not possible to produce sound simultaneously from the front wide speakers and the surround back speakers.
This surround system provides a sound field with good association between the sounds of the different channels.

speakers (SBL/SBR), and the subwoofers (SW 1/SW 2).
Speaker B
SBL
It is not possible to produce sound simultaneously from the front height speakers and the surround back
speakers.
This surround system produces a more true-to-life sound from above.
With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy 5.2-channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo
playback of the same sound on the B speakers. The same connections also allow for 7.2-channel surround sound
in the main zone when not using the B speakers.

! 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 (3.3 ft.) directly above the left and right front
speakers.
[E] 5.2 channel surround system & ZONE 2 connection (Multi Zone)
! Speaker System setting: ZONE 2
With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy 5.2-channel surround sound in the main zone with stereo
playback on another component in ZONE 2. (The selection of input devices is limited.)
Some tips for improving sound quality
Main zone
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.
R
ZONE 2
Sub zone
! The subwoofer can be placed on the floor. Ideally, the other speakers should be at about ear-level when you’re
listening to them. Putting the speakers on the floor (except the subwoofer), or mounting them very high on a
wall is not recommended.
! For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2 m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from the TV.
! If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV, use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a suffi-
cient distance from your CRT TV.
L
SW 1
C
SW 2
R
L
SR
! If you’re using a center speaker, place the front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a narrower
angle.
SL
! 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.
Other speaker connections
! Your favorite speaker connections can be selected even if you have fewer than 5.2 speakers (except front left/
right speakers).
! 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.
! Surround and surround back speakers should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) 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 speak-
ers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

Connecting your equipment
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.
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 con-
nected to the left surround back terminal).
This unit supports speakers with a nominal impedance of 6 W to 16 W.
Standard surround connection
The front height terminals can also be used for the front wide and Speaker B speakers.
Front height setting
CAUTION
! These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when con-
necting 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.

SPEAKERS
! 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.
The surround back terminals can also be used for ZONE 2.

Bi-amping your speakers
Bi-wiring 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 termi-
nals for high and low) and the sound improvement will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.
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.

About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video sources are output through the HDMI OUT terminal.
If the TV is only connected to the receiver’s composite VIDEO MONITOR OUT jacks, all the other video devices
must be connected through composite connections.
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).
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

! 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 (DVIdHDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult
your local audio dealer for more information.
Note
! 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 dis-
played, 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.
! 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 the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or dis-
play. 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 61) 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.
! 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 corre-
sponding 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.
This item incorporates copy protection technology that is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual property
rights of Rovi Corporation. Reverse engineering and disassembly are prohibited.
! 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/con-
necting the HDMI cable during playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio.

Connecting your equipment
! For input components, connections other than HDMI connections are also possible (see Connecting your DVD
player with no HDMI output on page 24).
Connecting your TV and playback components
! If you want to listen to the sound of the TV over the receiver, connect the receiver and TV with audio cables.
—When the TV and receiver are connected by HDMI connections, if the TV supports the HDMI ARC (Audio
Return Channel) function, the sound of the TV can be input to the receiver via the HDMI OUT terminal, so
there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, set ARC at HDMI Setup to ON (see HDMI Setup on
page 56).
Connecting using HDMI
If you have an HDMI or DVI (with HDCP) equipped component (Blu-ray Disc player (BD), etc.), you can connect it
to this receiver using a commercially available HDMI cable.
If the TV and playback components support the Control with HDMI feature, the convenient Control with HDMI
functions can be used (see Control with HDMI function on page 55).
—If you use a coaxial digital audio cable or RCA (analog) audio cable, you’ll need to tell the receiver which digi-
tal or analog audio input you connected the TV to (see The Input Setup menu on page 36).
This connection is required in
order to listen to the sound of
the TV over the receiver.

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 com-
ponent to check for IR compatibility.
Switching components on and off using the 12 volt trigger
You can connect components in your system (such as a screen or projector) to this receiver so that they switch
on or off using 12 volt triggers when you select an input function. However, you must specify which input func-
tions switch on the trigger using the The Input Setup menu on page 36. Note that this will only work with compo-
nents that have a standby mode.

Basic Setup
Changing the OSD display language (OSD Language)
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.
The language used on the Graphical User Interface screen can be changed.
! The explanations in these operating instructions are for when English is selected for the GUI screen.
! The OSD display is only displayed when the receiver’s HDMI OUT terminal and the TV’s HDMI input are con-
nected with an HDMI cable. If the TV is connected with anything other than an HDMI cable, watch the front
panel display while performing the various operations and making settings.

Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.
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.

Basic Setup
The Full Auto MCACC display appears once the microphone is connected.
The configuration shown on-screen should reflect the actual speakers you have.
! 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 con-
nections. 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 Reverse Phase 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 Full Auto MCACC procedure again.

! When data measurement is taken, the reverb characteristics data (both before- and after-calibration) that this
receiver had been storing will be overwritten.
! When measurement is taken of the reverb characteristics data other than SYMMETRY, the data are not
measured after the correction. If you will need to measure after correcting data, take the measurement using
the EQ Professional menu in the Manual MCACC setup (page 75).
If the speakers are connected using any setup other than Normal(SB/FH), be sure to set Speaker System before
the Full Auto MCACC Setup. See Speaker system setting on page 81.
! Speaker System – Shows the current settings. When this is selected and ENTER is pressed, the speaker
system selection screen appears. Select the proper speaker system, then press RETURN to return.
If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another
room, read through Speaker system setting on page 81 and make sure to connect your speakers as necessary
before continuing to step 4.
— If the connections were right, select GO NEXT and continue.
7
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 10 minutes.
8
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 72 or The
System Setup and Other Setup menus on page 80.
! 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 Manual
speaker setup on page 81.
! The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This set-
ting should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to
be changed.
! EQ Type – This determines how the frequency balance is adjusted. Normally select SYMMETRY. For details,
see Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 73.
! MCACC – The six MCACC presets are used for storing surround sound settings for different listening posi-
tions. Simply choose an unused preset for now (you can rename it later in Data Management on page 78).
! THX Speaker – Select YES when using THX speakers (all speakers other than the front speakers are set to
SMALL). In other cases, leave at NO.
! If Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and view-
ing environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

Press
then select START.
Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and if you’re using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched on and set to a
comfortable volume level.
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.
6
Wait for the test tones to finish, then confirm the speaker configuration in the GUI screen.
A progress report is displayed on-screen while the receiver outputs test tones to determine the speakers present
in your setup. Try to be as quiet as possible while it’s doing this.
If no operations are performed for 10 seconds while the speaker configuration check screen is being displayed,
the Full Auto MCACC Setup will resume automatically. In this case, you don’t need to select ‘OK’ and press
ENTER in step 7.
! 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 35) and verifying the mic
connection. If there doesn’t seem to be a problem, you can simply select GO NEXT and continue.

Listening to your system
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 opti-
mal sound image. The default setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control switched on for all sound
sources.

Press
to the receiver operation mode.
Press PHASE (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 59.
! 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
59.

the receiver is in the standby mode. (Switch by pointing the remote control at the receiver and pressing the
HDMI, BD, DVD, SAT/CBL or DVR/BDR button.)
Important
! When connecting this system or changing connections, be sure to switch the power off and disconnect the
power cord from the wall socket. After completing all connections, connect the power cords to the wall socket.
! After this receiver is connected to an AC outlet, a 2 second to 10 second HDMI initialization process begins.
You cannot carry out any operations during this process. The HDMI indicator in the front panel display blinks
during this process, and you can turn on this receiver once it has stopped blinking. When you set the Control
with HDMI to OFF, you can skip this process. For details about the Control with HDMI feature, see Control with
HDMI function on page 55.
! This setting can be used even with devices that are not compatible with the Control with HDMI function.
! To get the most out of this function, we recommend that you connect your HDMI component not to a TV but
rather directly to the HDMI terminal on this receiver.

About Auto Sound Retriever Link and Stream Smoother Link
These are automatic functions allowing you to output optimum audio and video signals from the receiver using
the Control with HDMI function. When a player supporting the respective function is connected to the receiver
by HDMI, the sound/picture is optimized for the compressed audio/video file played on the player.
! Depending on the compressed audio/video file format, it may not be operated automatically.
Auto Sound Retriever Link
When playing a compressed audio file on the player, the file’s bitrate information is acquired using the Control
with HDMI function, and the sound is optimized on the receiver based on this information.
To activate the Auto Sound Retriever Link function, make the setting below.
! When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized amp mode is canceled if an operation that produces
sound from the TV is performed from the TV’s menu screen, etc.
! When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for a
component connected to the receiver by HDMI connection is selected or when watching the TV.)
! The receiver’s input switches automatically when the Control with HDMI-compatible component is played.

screen.
Stream Smoother Link
Using the Control with HDMI function, the receiver automatically detects whether a compressed video file is
being played on the player, and if so automatically activates the Stream Smoother function.
To activate the Stream Smoother Link function, make the setting below.
! When the OSD language is switched on the TV, the receiver’s language setting also switches accordingly.
1
Set the HDMI Setup’s Control to ON, and set the Control Mode setting to ON.
Setting the PQLS function
See HDMI Setup on page 56.
PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio signal transfer control technology using the Control with
HDMI function. It offers higher-quality audio playback by controlling audio signals from the receiver to a PQLS
compatible player, etc. This enables removing jitter that has a negative effect on the quality of the sound and is
generated upon transmission.
2
Set the STREAM (Stream Smoother) setting to OFF.
See Setting the Video options on page 61.
! On players compatible with PQLS Bit-stream, PQLS always works for all sources.
! On players compatible with PQLS Multi Surround, PQLS works for all sources. Set the player’s audio output to
Linear PCM.
! On players compatible with PQLS 2 ch Audio, PQLS only works when playing CDs.
Please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your player for more information.
This function is activated when Control is set to ON.
Cautions on the Control with HDMI function
! Connect the TV directly to this receiver. Interrupting a direct connection with other amps or an AV converter
(such as an HDMI switch) can cause operational errors.
! Only connect components (Blu-ray Disc player, etc.) you intend to use as a source to the HDMI input of this
receiver. Interrupting a direct connection with other amps or an AV converter (such as an HDMI switch) can
cause operational errors.
! When Control is set to ON, HDMI Input in The Input Setup menu on page 36 is automatically set to OFF.
! When the receiver’s Control is turned ON, even if the receiver’s power is in the standby mode, it is possible
to output the audio and video signals from a player via HDMI to the TV without producing sound from the
receiver, but only when a Control with HDMI-compatible component (Blu-ray Disc player, etc.) and compatible
TV are connected. In this case, the receiver’s power turns on and the power and HDMI indicators light.
Tip
! The PQLS setting is set at PQLS in HDMI Setup on the HOME MENU, but the setting can also be switched
with the remote control, as described below.

! When ON is selected, the Sound Retriever effect is optimized based on the bitrate information of the contents input to the
USB memory audio and INTERNET RADIO, SiriusXM, PANDORA, MEDIA SERVER, FAVORITES (digital audio input only) to
achieve high sound quality.
! With the iPod/USB, INTERNET RADIO, SiriusXM, PANDORA, MEDIA SERVER, FAVORITES or ADAPTER PORT input func-
tion, by default S.RTRV is set to ON.
! When ON is selected, optimum correction of the audio signals input via the HDMI OUT terminal is conducted with the HDMI
ARC (Audio Return Channel) function, and the sound of digital TV broadcasts is produced with HD quality. This is valid when
the input is set to TV and ARC in HDMI Setup is set to ON. (See HDMI Setup on page 56.)
UP1 to UP4 can be selected only when the front height speaker is connected. The presence or absence of effects depends on
the listening mode.
The initially set AUTO is only available for Dolby TrueHD signals. Select MAX or MID for signals other than Dolby TrueHD.
You shouldn’t have any problems using this with most SACD discs, but if the sound distorts, it is best to switch the gain setting
back to 0dB.
! The HDMI Audio setting cannot be switched while performing synchronized amp mode operations.
! The synchronized amp mode must be turned on in order to play the receiver’s HDMI audio and video input signals from the TV
with the receiver’s power in the standby mode. See About synchronized operations on page 57.
This feature is only available when the connected display supports the automatic audio/video synchronizing capability (‘lipsync’)
for HDMI. If you find the automatically set delay time unsuitable, set A.DELAY to OFF and adjust the delay time manually. For
more details about the lipsync feature of your display, contact the manufacturer directly.

Dimming the display
You can choose between four brightness levels for the front panel display. Note that when selecting sources, the
display automatically brightens for a few seconds.
Keep in mind you can’t make a digital recording from an analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the compo-
nents you are recording to/from are hooked up in the same way (see Connecting your equipment on page 16 for
more on connections).
! The receiver’s volume, Audio parameters (the tone controls, for example), and surround effects have no effect
on the recorded signal.
! Some digital sources are copy-protected, and can only be recorded in analog.
! Some video sources are copy-protected. These cannot be recorded.
Since the video converter is not available when making recordings (from the video OUT jacks) make sure to use
the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder as you used to connect your video source (the one you
want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must connect your recorder using Component video if your
source has also been connected using Component video.

About the Remote Setup menu
The Remote Setup mode is set by pressing the number button while pressing RCU SETUP. The different items
on the Remote Setup menu are described below. For their setting procedures, refer to the explanations for the
respective items.
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 compo-
nent’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 68).
! With the TV CONTROL 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 CONTROL 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 CONTROL INPUT button, the other TV to the TV button.
! Devices may be assigned to the following input function buttons.
Setting
What it does
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 page 67.
Preset recall
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 68.
Code learning
This is a setting for changing only the remote control unit’s operation screen, without changing the receiver’s
Direct function input, when the remote control unit’s input function buttons are pressed. This is convenient for using the
remote control unit for devices not connected to the receiver. See Direct function on page 69.

The Advanced MCACC menu
! Auto MCACC – The default is ALL (recommended), but you can limit the system calibration to only one set-
ting (to save time) if you want.
Making receiver settings from the Advanced MCACC menu
— 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 75).
— The EQ Pro & S-Wave measurement is also taken when ALL or Keep SP System is selected. See
Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional on page 76 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 59.
! 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).
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 dif-
ficult 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.

Select ‘Advanced MCACC’ from the Home Menu, then press ENTER.
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 73 for a more detailed MCACC setup.
! Manual MCACC – Fine-tunes your speaker settings and customizes the Acoustic Calibration EQ (see Manual
MCACC setup on page 75).
! 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.
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 Speaker (only available when the Auto MCACC Menu above is ALL or Speaker Setting) – Select YES
when using 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 sev-
eral 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:
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 sys-
tem 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).

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 81).
! 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 Manual
speaker setup on page 81.
! The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This set-
ting 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.
Microphone
Tripod
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.
! It may not be possible to measure correctly if the microphone is placed on a table, sofa, etc.
You can also choose to view the settings by selecting individual parameters from the MCACC Data Check screen
(see Checking MCACC Data on page 77).
Press RETURN after you have finished checking each screen. When you’re finished, select RETURN to go back to
the Home Menu.

When you’re finished setting the options, select START then press ENTER.
Follow the instructions on-screen.
Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this receiver upon completion of the Auto MCACC Setup.
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 check-
ing 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 con-
nections. 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 Reverse Phase 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.

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.

Select ‘Manual MCACC’ from the Advanced MCACC menu.
See Making receiver settings from the Advanced MCACC menu on page 73 if you’re not already at this screen.
2
Select the setting you want to adjust.
If you’re doing this for the first time, you might want to make these settings in order.
! Fine Channel Level – Make fine adjustments to the overall balance of your speaker system (see Fine Channel
Level on page 75).
! Fine SP Distance – Make precise delay settings for your speaker system (see Fine Speaker Distance on page
75).
! Standing Wave – Control overly resonant low frequencies in your listening room (see Standing Wave on
page 76).
! 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 speak-
ers in your setup (depending on the low frequency response of the reference speaker).
The last two settings are specifically for customizing the parameters explained in Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust
on page 76:
! EQ Adjust – Manually adjust the frequency balance of your speaker system while listening to test tones (see
Acoustic Calibration EQ Adjust on page 76).
! EQ Professional – Calibrate your system based on the direct sound coming from the speakers and make
detailed settings according to your room’s reverb characteristics (see Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional
on page 76).
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.

Standing Wave
Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional
! Default setting: ON/ATT 0.0dB (all filters)
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.
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 posi-
tion, 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.

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 adjust-
ment provided in Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 34 or Automatic
MCACC (Expert) on page 73, you can also adjust these settings manually to get a frequency balance that suits
your tastes.

! 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.
Use i/j to select the 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 rever-
berations 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 indi-
cates 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 calibra-
tion using this setup will alter the settings you made in Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full
Auto MCACC) on page 34 or Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 73 and is not necessary if you’re satisfied
with these settings.
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.

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 bal-
ance 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.

Checking MCACC Data
At the procedure of Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 34, the proce-
dure of Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 73 or after fine-adjusting at Manual MCACC setup on page 75, you
can check your calibrated settings using the GUI screen.
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 neces-
sary 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.

In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers placed directly at the sides of the listening position,
the surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side. This function mixes the sound of the surround
speakers with the surround back speakers so that the surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it
should be.
Depending on the positions of the speakers and the sound source, in some cases it may not be possible to
achieve good results. In this case, set the setting to ON SIDE or IN REAR.
Manual speaker setup
This receiver allows you to make detailed settings to optimize the surround sound performance. You only need
to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new
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, sur-
round, 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.
You will return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
! For best surround sound, make sure the surround back speakers are the same distance from the listening
position.
X-Curve
Most soundtracks mixed for cinema sound too bright when played back in large rooms. The X-Curve setting acts
as a kind of re-equalization for home theater listening, and restores proper tonal balance of movie soundtracks.

Select ‘X. OVER’ and set the crossover frequency.
1
2
Select ‘X-Curve’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.
Choose the X-Curve setting you want.
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.
Use k/l to adjust the setting. The X-Curve is expressed as a downwards slope in decibels per octave, starting
at 2 kHz. The sound becomes less bright as the slope increases (to a maximum of –3.0dB/oct). Use the following

Auto Surround, ALC and Stream Direct with different input signal
formats
The following charts show what you will hear with different input signal formats, depending on the Stream Direct
mode (see Using Stream Direct on page 47) you have selected.
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 pos-
sible to automatically correct the speaker distance electrically to a precision of 1 cm (0.5 inch) using the Full Auto
MCACC Setup function (page 34).

Use speaker stands or the like to make sure the speakers are steady, and leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) 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.

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.

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 (12 inches) to 80 cm (31 inches) 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.

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.

Additional information
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 stand-
ing 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 76).

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 sig-
nal for transmission to the display. For this configuration, use the most convenient connection (digital is recom-
mended) 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 conve-
nient 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.
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 cor-
rode the surface.

Additional information
Decoding
Glossary
A technology for converting digital signals that have been compressed upon recording by a digital signal process-
ing circuit, etc., into the original signals. The term “decoding” (or “matrix decoding”) is also used for the technol-
ogy which converts 2-channel sound sources into multiple channels or expands 5.1-channel signals into 6.1 or
7.1 channels.
Audio formats/Decoding
Dolby
The Dolby technologies are explained below. See http://www.dolby.com for more detailed information.
Calibrating the sound field/Improving the sound quality
Phase Control
The Phase Control technology incorporated into this receiver’s design provides coherent sound reproduction
through the use of phase matching for an optimal sound image at your listening position.
Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital audio coding system widely used in cinemas, and in the home for DVD and
digital broadcast soundtracks.
Dolby TrueHD
Virtual Surround Back
Dolby TrueHD is the lossless encoding technology developed for high-definition optical discs in the upcoming
era.
When you’re not using surround back speakers, selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual surround back
channel through your surround speakers. You can choose to listen to sources with no surround back channel
information.
Dolby Digital Plus
Dolby Digital Plus is the audio technology for all high-definition programming and media. It combines the effi-
ciency to meet future broadcast demands with the power and flexibility to realize the full audio potential expected
in the upcoming high-definition era.
Virtual Height
When you’re not using front height speakers, selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual front height channel
through your front speakers.
Dolby Digital Surround EX
Virtual Wide
Dolby Digital Surround EX (the EX stands for EXtended) is an extension of Dolby Digital encoding whereby a
surround back channel is matrixed into the surround left/right channels for 6.1 channel playback. This allows for
compatibility with Dolby Digital 5.1 channel decoding, as well as for decoding using Dolby Digital EX.
When you’re not using front wide speakers, selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual front wide channel
through your front speakers.
Virtual Depth
Dolby Pro Logic IIx and Dolby Surround
When this mode is selected, the sound field expands virtually to behind the display, resulting in a sound field with
the same depth as the 3D picture to achieve a better sense of presence.
Dolby Pro Logic IIx is an improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic II (and Dolby Pro Logic) decoding system.
Dolby Surround is an encoding system which embeds surround sound information within a stereo soundtrack,
which a Dolby Pro Logic decoder can then use for enhanced surround listening with greater sound detail.
Auto Sound Retriever
The Auto Sound Retriever feature employs DSP technology to restore sound pressure and smooth jagged arti-
facts left over after compression.
With some audio inputs, the Sound Retriever effect is automatically optimized based on the bitrate information of
the contents that have been input to achieve high sound quality.
Dolby Pro Logic IIz
Adding a pair of speakers above the front left and right speakers adds expressiveness in the vertical direction to
the previous horizontally-oriented sound field. The height channel strengthens the sound field’s sense of three-
dimensionality and air, producing presence and expansion.
Sound Retriever Air
DTS
Sound Retriever Air compensates for reduced sound quality due to compression when sending Bluetooth signals.
The DTS technologies are explained below. See http://www.dts.com for more detailed information.
PQLS
DTS Digital Surround
Jitterless high quality playback is possible by connecting a PQLS-compatible player with HDMI connections.

Preset code list
You should have no problem controlling a component if you find the manufacturer in this list, but please note that
there are cases where codes for the manufacturer in the list will not work for the model that you are using. There
are also cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code.
Important
! We do not guarantee the operations of all the manufacturers and devices listed. Operation may not be possible
even if a preset code is entered.
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 68).
