• To connect the ZONE 2 speakers, an additional
amplifier is required.
Important
Determining the speakers’ application
•
Both the surround back speakers and the front height
speakers can be connected at the same time. In this case,
sound will be output from either the front height speaker or
the surround back speaker depending on which one was
selected in the Speaker System setting (see The Speaker
System setting on page 49).
By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the
center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/
SR), the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) (or
the left and right front height speakers (FHL/FHR)), and the
subwoofer (SW), a surround sound system up to 7.1 channel
can be enjoyed.
Main zone
Sub zone
The 5.1 channel surround system is the most commonly-used
in home theaters. To achieve the best possible surround
sound, install your speakers as shown below.
Speaker B connection

You can use the speakers connected to the B speaker
terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. See
Switching the speaker terminal on page 13 for the listening
options with this setup.

You will not be able to connect the B speakers if you
connect the front height speakers in the main zone.
Further, if you use the B speakers, a 5.1 ch playback will be
the maximum in the main zone. (No sound is output from
the surround back speaker.)
Some tips for improving sound quality

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, we recommend placing the
surround speaker right beside you.
If you intend to connect only one surround back
speakers, place it directly behind you.
ZONE 2 connection (Multi Zone)
With these connections you can simultaneously enjoy the
surround sound in the main zone with stereo playback on
another component in ZONE 2 (The selection of input devices
is limited). See MULTI-ZONE listening on page 54.

If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side
of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the
surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the Up
Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 35).
The front height terminals can also be used for Speaker B.

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.
Speaker B - left
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.
Surround and surround back speakers should be
positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) higher than your
ears and titled slight downward. Make sure the speakers
don’t face each other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should
be more directly behind the listener than for home theater
playback.

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.
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.)

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 several video components are assigned to the same input
function, the converter gives priority to HDMI, component,
then composite (in that order).
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 Video Converter OFF (see Video Converter on

Plugging in the receiver
Only plug in after you have connected all your components to
this receiver, including the speakers.
Plug the AC power cord into a convenient AC power
outlet.
CAUTION
•
Handle the power cord by the plug part. Do not pull out the
plug by tugging the cord, and never touch the power cord
when your hands are wet, as this could cause a short
circuit or electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of
furniture, or other object on the power cord or pinch the
cord in any other way. Never make a knot in the cord or tie
it with other cables. The power cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power
cord can cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check
the power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged, ask
your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service
company for a replacement.

•
The receiver should be disconnected by removing the
mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular use,
e.g., when on vacation.
Note
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

Stations are stored in stereo. When the station is stored in
the FM MONO mode, it shows as ST when recalled.
If the TUNE or ST indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM
station because the signal is weak, set the receiver to the
mono reception mode.
The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM
radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual
(step) tuning functions. Once you are tuned to a station you
can memorize the frequency for recall later—see Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.

Better sound using Phase Control
Using surround back channel processing
Setting the Up Mix function
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 at your listening position. The default
setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control
switched on for all sound sources.
You can have the receiver automatically use 6.1 or 7.1
decoding for 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital
EX or DTS-ES), or you can choose to always use 6.1 or 7.1
decoding (for example, with 5.1 encoded material). With 5.1
encoded sources, a surround back channel will be generated,
but the material may sound better in the 5.1 format for which
it was originally encoded (in which case, you can simply
switch surround back channel processing off).
In a 7.1-channel surround system with surround speakers
placed directly at the sides of the listening position, the
surround sound of 5.1-channel sources is heard from the side.
The Up Mix function mixes the sound of the surround
speakers with the surround back speakers so that the
surround sound is heard from diagonally to the rear as it
should be.
•
Using the Up Mix function is effective when the speakers in
the 7.1-channel surround system are set up as

With a 7.1-channel surround system, audio signals that

Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving
proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’,
they crest and trough together, resulting in increased
amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a
crest of a wave meets a trough, then the sound will be ‘out
of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will be produced.
If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the
plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually
feel when Phase Control is set to ON on this receiver
depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer
to maximize the effect. It is also recommended 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.

iPod, iPhone, iPad or iTunes software versions other than
those indicated on the Pioneer website.
Files stored in a PC or DMS (Digital Media Server) as
described above can be played via command from an external
Digital Media Controller (DMC). Devices controlled by this
DMC to play files are called DMRs (Digital Media Renderers).
This receiver supports this DMR function. When in the DMR
mode, such operations as playing and stopping files can be
performed from the external controller. Volume adjustment
and the muting control are also possible.
Playback the music files stored in PCs

Besides a PC, you can also play back audio files stored on
your other components with the built-in media server
function based on DLNA 1.0 or DLNA 1.5 framework and
protocols (i.e. network-capable hard disks and audio
systems).
About the DHCP server function
To play back audio files stored on components on the network
or listen to Internet radio stations, you must turn on the DHCP
server function of your router. In case your router does not
have the built-in DHCP server function, it is necessary to set
up the network manually. Otherwise, you cannot play back
audio files stored on components on the network or listen to
Internet radio stations. See The Network Setup menu on
page 41 for more on this.

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.

Note
•
If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer
will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center,
surround, surround back and front height 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.
If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back
speakers will automatically be set to NO.
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 to 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.
•
Front– Select LARGEif 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 other speakers).
Front Height – Select LARGE if your front height speakers
reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to
send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer.
If you didn’t connect front height speakers choose NO.

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 initialization. The
HDMI indicator on the display unit blinks during
initialization, and you can turn this receiver on once it has
stopped blinking.
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.

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.
About synchronized operations
The Control with HDMI-compatible component connected to
the receiver operates in sync as described below.
•
Synchronized amp mode
-
From the menu screen of the Control with HDMI-
compatible TV, set audio to be played through this
receiver, and the receiver will switch to the synchronized
amp mode.

Integrated control section
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.
