Before you start 01 6 En Chapter 1: Before you start Features • High quality MOSFET design This receiver offers high-quality discrete MOSFET configuration unique to Pioneer for low distortion, and generates equal amplifier power to all channels, eliminating the possibility of one channel dominating a particular sound field.
Before you start 01 7 En Ventilation When installing this unit, make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat dispersal (at least 8 in. (20 cm) at the top). 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.
5 minute guide 02 8 En Chapter 2: 5 minute guide Introduction to home theater 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.
5 minute guide 02 9 En 3 Connect your speakers. A complete setup of eight speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown here but everyone’s home setup will vary.
5 minute guide 02 10 En Note • The speaker terminals also accept single banana plugs. Where you place the speakers will have a big effect on the sound. Place your speakers as shown below for the best surround sound effect. See Hints on speaker placement on page 21 for more on this.
5 minute guide 02 11 En Automatically setting up for surround sound (MCACC) The Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for both channel delay and channel level.
5 minute guide 02 12 En 6 Follow the instructions on-screen. • Make sure the microphone is connected. • If you’re using a subwoofer, it is automatically detected every time you switch on the system. Make sure it is on and the volume is turned up.
5 minute guide 02 13 En Note • If you leave an error message on the screen for over three minutes, or if you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup at any time, the receiver automatically exits and no settings will be made.
Connecting up 03 14 En Chapter 3: Connecting up Important • Before making or changing any connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC outlet. About cable types Analog audio cables Use stereo RCA phono cables to connect analog audio components.
Connecting up 03 15 En When making cable connections Be careful not to arrange cables in a manner that bends the cables over the top or around 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.
Connecting up 03 16 En Connecting digital audio components The easiest way to hook up this receiver for surround sound (Dolby Digital and DTS sources) is to use a digital input. You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both).
Connecting up 03 17 En Connecting analog audio components To begin set up, connect your analog audio components (such as a cassette deck) to the jacks.
Connecting up 03 18 En Connecting video components Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below.
