Before you start

Checking the supplied accessories

Ventilation

Please check that you've received the following supplied

accessories:

• When installing this unit, make sure to leave space

around the unit for ventilation to improve heat

dispersal (at least 20 cm at the top, 50 cm at the rear,

and 10 cm at each side). If not enough space is

provided between the unit and walls or other

equipment, heat will build up inside, interfering with

performance and/or causing malfunctions. See

below for exceptions to this.

• AM loop antenna

• FM wire antenna

• Power cable

• Dry cell batteries (AA Size / IEC R6P) x2

• Remote control unit

• Operating instructions

• Speaker cable labels

• Warranty card

• Don’t place anything on top of the receiver except for

a Pioneer DV-464, 360, 454, 350, 444 or 545 DVD

player. If you do place one of these pieces of

equipment on top of the receiver be sure to leave the

ventilation space over it as prescribed above.

• If using a rack to hold the receiver make sure the

back of the rack and the left side are open.

Loading the batteries

The remote control operates on two AA batteries

(supplied).

• Also, if you’re using a case with glass doors, leave

the glass doors open when using the receiver.

• Do not place on a thick carpet, bed, sofa or fabric

having a thick pile. Do not cover the receiver with

fabric or other covering. Anything that blocks

ventilation will cause the internal temperature to

rise, which may lead to breakdown or fire hazard.

• The receiver may become hot while in use, please

take care around it.

Maintenance of external surfaces

• Use a polishing cloth or dry cloth to wipe off dust and

dirt.

• Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards

as leakage and bursting. Observe the following

precautions:

• When the surfaces are 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 new and old batteries together.

• Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries

properly according to the marks in the battery case.

• Batteries of the same shape may have different

voltages. Do not use different batteries together.

• Never use thinners, benzine, insecticide sprays or

other chemicals on or near this unit, since these will

corrode the surfaces.

• When disposing of used batteries, please comply

with governmental regulations or environmental

public institution’s rules that apply in your country or

area.

Quick start guide

Chapter 1

Quick start guide

Connect your speakers to the receiver, as shown

Introduction

in the diagram below.

Prepare the speaker cable by stripping about 1 cm of the

plastic shielding from each speaker wire.

This ‘Quick start guide’ shows you how to connect your

speakers, TV and DVD player to this receiver, and also

takes you through switching on and playing a DVD disc.

Easy Setup

This section shows you how to connect your speakers,

subwoofer, DVD player and TV to this receiver so you can

start enjoying home cinema sound right away.

Connect the front speakers to the FRONT L/R terminals;

the center speaker to the CENTER terminal; and the

surround speakers to the SURROUND L/R terminals.

Before you start, make sure everything you’re

connecting is switched off and unplugged.

Press on a tab to open a terminal; insert the exposed

wire, then release the tab to secure.

Connecting speakers

For correct sound it’s important that the positive and

negative terminals of the receiver and each speaker are

matched. To help you do this, attach the supplied

colored self-adhesive labels to one half of each speaker

cable.

This receiver has speaker terminals for front left and

right speakers (L and R in the diagram), a center speaker

minimum speaker configuration is just the front left/

right speakers, but we recommend connecting all five if

possible. Note that surround speakers should always be

connected as a pair; do not connect just one surround

speaker. All the speakers you use should have a nominal

impedance between 6–16Ω.

Connect a powered subwoofer to the

SUBWOOFER OUT jack, as shown in the diagram

below.

Use a standard audio cable with RCA/phono plugs.

Switching on and playing a DVD

This receiver will automatically decode Dolby Digital,

DTS, or Dolby Surround DVD-Video discs, according to

your speaker setup. In most cases, you won’t have to

make changes for realistic surround sound.

Once you switch the receiver on it will automatically

detect the speakers you have connected. Although there

are a number of more detailed settings you can make to

optimize the surround sound, you should be able to get

acceptable surround sound performance right away.

Other possibilities (like listening to a CD with

multichannel surround sound) are explained in Home

theater sound on page 23.

Introductory information

Dialog Enhancement (page 24)

Introduction to home theater

Use the Dialog Enhancement feature to accentuate

dialog and vocals in a program source and match the

vertical placement of the center channel with the front

left/right channels.

You are probably used to using stereo equipment to

listen to music, but may not be used to home theater

systems that give you many more options (such as

surround sound) when listening to soundtracks.

Home theater refers to the use of multiple audio tracks

to create a surround sound effect, making you feel like

you're in the middle of the action or concert. The

surround sound you get from a home theater system

depends not only on the speakers you have set up in your

room, but also on the source and the sound settings of

the receiver.

Virtual Surround Back mode (page 24)

The Virtual Surround Back mode creates the illusion of a

surround back channel—an extra channel located

directly behind the listener—for added surround

realism.

Sound Modes (page 24)

DVD-Video has become the basic source material for

home theater due to its size, quality, and ease of use. The

true multichannel audio possible using DVD is what

creates a convincing surround sound effect and gives

you the feeling of ‘being there’.

The Sound Modes offer useful effects for a number of

situations. For example, the Natural mode corrects for

the typical frequency response of small speakers;

Midnight mode is useful when you need to listen at low

volume but still want effective surround sound; S.Bass

boosts the low-end for a more driving sound.

Features

Easy-to-use remote control

The remote control gives you not only complete control

over every function of this receiver, but also over other

components in your home theater system. Using a

system of preset codes, you can program the remote to

operate a wide range of other equipment.

Dolby Digital and DTS decoding (page 23)

Dolby Digital and DTS decoding brings theater sound

right into your home with up to six channels of surround

sound, including a special LFE (Low Frequency Effects)

channel for deep, realistic sound effects.

Easy setup

Dolby Pro Logic II decoder (page 23)

Setting up for home theater sound is as easy as

connecting your speakers, a DVD player or other source,

and your TV. The Room Setup feature is a very quick and

simple way to enhance performance, while for complete

surround sound control you still have access to the full

range of surround sound settings.

The built-in Dolby Pro Logic II decoder not only provides

full surround sound decoding for Dolby Surround

sources, but will also generate convincing surround

sound for any stereo source.

Surround and Advanced Surround modes

(page 24)

The Energy-saving Design

This unit is designed to use less than 1 W of energy when

the receiver is in standby mode.

Used together with the Dolby Digital, DTS or Dolby Pro

Logic II modes, the Surround and Advanced Surround

modes are designed to enhance particular types of

program material by, for example, reproducing the

acoustic space of a concert hall for music-based

material.

When making cable connections

Be careful not to arrange cables in a manner that bends

the cables over the top of this unit. If the cables are laid

on top of the unit, the magnetic field produced by the

transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise to

come from the speakers.

• All AV connectors also have audio in. The VIDEO and

DVR/TV connectors also have audio out.

• The VIDEO and DVR/TV connectors are compatible

with i/o-Link.A, T-V Link, Easy Link, MegaLogic,

SMARTLINK, Q-Link, DATALOGIC, NextTView Link, etc.

The AV Direct mode

The AV Direct mode allows the receiver to pass audio/

video signals arriving at one of the AV connector inputs

to the AV connector outputs without the sound being

output through the speakers connected to the receiver.

This allows you to operate your other components as if

they were connected directly to each other without the

receiver being on. One use for this is if you want to record

each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted

together.

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

2–3 m apart, at equal distance from the TV.

Each speaker connection on the receiver comprises a

positive (+) colored, and negative (–) black terminal. For

proper sound you should take care to match these up

with the terminals on the speakers themselves. To assist

you, use the supplied colored self-adhesive tags, affixing

a tag to each end of one half of each cable. Use the

tagged wire for the colored/positive terminal; use the

untagged wire for the black/negative terminal. Use the

different colors to help you identify which speaker cable

attaches to which speaker.

• Install the center speaker above or below the TV so

that the sound of the center channel is localized at

the TV screen.

• When placing speakers near the TV, use

magnetically shielded speakers to prevent possible

interference, such as discoloration of the picture

when the TV is switched on. If you do not have

magnetically shielded speakers and notice

discoloration of the TV picture, move the speakers

farther away from the TV.

• If possible, install the surround speakers slightly

above ear level.

• 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.

• These speaker terminals can be under HAZARDOUS

VOLTAGE. When you connect or disconnect the

speaker cables, to prevent the risk of electric shock,

do not touch uninsulated parts before disconnecting

the power cord.

Connect the front left and right speakers to the

FRONT L/R speaker terminals.

Press the spring-loaded tab to open a terminal, insert the

speaker wire, then release the tab to secure.

• 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.

Connect the center speaker to the CENTER

speaker terminals.

Connect the surround left and right speakers to

the SURROUND L/R speaker terminals.

Getting started

Using the Room Setup

• Default setting: M (medium) / MID

• The Room Setup automatically sets up the channel

levels and speaker distance according to the room

size. If you have already set the channel levels and/or

speaker distances manually (see Setting individual

channel levels on page 33), you will see ROOM SET

in the display when you first press the ROOM SETUP

button.

Before using your receiver to enjoy surround sound play-

back, we recommend you spend a few minutes using the

Room Setup. This is a quick and easy way to get good

surround sound for your room.

that program type at the time of the search.

• The EON function does not work when listening to

AM reception, or when the AV Direct function is on

(see on page 9 and AV Direct setting on page 33).

• Simultaneous requests for Traffic Information (TA)

station memory. If there are no station presets, or if

the program type could not be found among the

station presets NO PTY is displayed.

function will be restored.

Enhanced Other Network (EON)

• You cannot use the T.EDIT and SEARCH buttons

while the EON indicator in the display is lit.

EON (Enhanced Other Network information) allows you

to set the receiver to switch automatically to a news or

traffic information broadcast. Once set, the receiver will

scan for stations transmitting news or traffic

announcements even when it’s in a different input

function (DVD, for example). When the broadcast ends,

the tuner returns to the original frequency or input

function.

• You can’t change the input function while receiving

an EON broadcast. If you want to change to a source

other than tuner, press EON and turn the EON mode

to OFF.

Program identification function

EON can only be used in areas where EON data is

transmitted, and it only works with FM broadcast

stations that transmit RDS program type (PTY)

information.

The receiver will automatically register an identifying

marker (called a PI code) for any station you input into

the memory classes which can receive RDS or EON data.

If you want to remove the currently memorized stations

from RDS and EON searches, you can do it by erasing

the PI codes.

the current listening mode):

The AV Direct setting determines whether the receiver

switches to AV Direct mode automatically, or only when

you switch it manually.

• L – Front left

• AVD MANU – Allows you to switch between standby

and AV Direct mode using the AV DIRECT button on

the remote control.

• C – Center

• SEL MANU – You must select the receiver’s input

manually using the front panel INPUT SELECTOR, or

the input buttons on the remote control.

Press TEST TONE to turn off the test tone.

• SEL AUTO – When a component connected to one of

the SCART AV connectors (except the TV) is switched

on, the receiver automatically switches to that input.

• Since the subwoofer transmits an ultra-low

frequency its sound may seem quieter than it

actually is. Be careful not to turn up your subwoofer

too much and check the volume with an actual

source.

• When set to AVD AUTO, if a connected component

is switched on, you cannot switch this receiver into

standby (INPUT ON appears in the display).

• The subwoofer volume is best controlled with the

volume control on the subwoofer unit itself.

• You can’t use the sleep timer when the AV Direct

setting is AVD AUTO (see also Using the sleep timer

on page 29).

• The speaker volume can be adjusted without

outputting the test tone by pressing CH SELECT then

using the LEVEL +/– buttons.

• AV Direct does not work when EON is on (see also

Enhanced Other Network (EON) on page 28).

• The level setting mode is automatically exited after 5

seconds of inactivity.
