Determining the speakers
application
Surround sound with a strong sense of
presence can be enjoyed by connecting 7
speakers and 1 subwoofer. It is also possible to
achieve high sound quality using bi-amp
connections and to enjoy music in other rooms
using the MULTI-ZONE feature. High sound
quality can be achieved with a minimum of two
speakers.
Be sure to connect speakers to the front
left and right channels ( and ).
The Surr Back System setting must be
made if you use any of the connections
shown below other than [1] (see Selecting
the Surr Back system on page 21).
[1] 7.1ch surround connection
(Simple connection & Best surround)
*Default setting
These connections prioritize surround sound
with a speaker layout like that in a movie theater.
Surr Back System setting: Normal
(default)
If you have six speakers, either only
connect one surround back speaker (6.1 ch
surround), or connect for the 7.1-channel
setting as shown on the diagram below but
without the center speaker.
[2] 5.1ch surround & Front Bi-amping
connection (High quality surround)
Bi-amping connection of the front speakers for
high sound quality with 5.1-channel surround
sound.
Surr Back System setting: Front Bi-Amp
*Bi-amp compatible speaker
[3] 5.1ch surround & ZONE 2 connection
(Multi Zone)
With these connections you can simultaneously
enjoy 5.1-channel surround sound in the main
zone with stereo playback on another
component in ZONE 2. (The selection of input
devices is limited.)

Placing the speakers
To achieve the best possible surround sound,
install your speakers as shown below.
5.1 channel surround system:
Some tips for improving sound quality
Where you put your speakers in the room has a
big effect on the quality of the sound. The
following guidelines should help you to get the
best sound from your system.
The subwoofer can be placed on the floor.
Ideally, the other speakers should be at
about ear-level when youre listening to
them. Putting the speakers on the floor
(except the subwoofer), or mounting them
very high on a wall is not recommended.
For the best stereo effect, place the front
speakers 2 m to 3 m apart, at equal
distance from the TV.
If youre using a center speaker, place the
front speakers at a wider angle. If not, place
them at a narrower angle.
Place the center speaker above or below
the TV so that the sound of the center
channel is localized at the TV screen. Also,
make sure the center speaker does not
cross the line formed by the leading edge
of the front left and right speakers.
It is best to angle the speakers towards the
listening position. The angle depends on
the size of the room. Use less of an angle
for bigger rooms.
Surround and surround back speakers
should be positioned 60 cm to 90 cm higher
than your ears and tilted slight downward.
Make sure the speakers dont face each
other. For DVD-Audio, the speakers should
be more directly behind the listener than for
home theater playback.
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 56).
Try not to place the surround speakers
farther away from the listening position
than the front and center speakers. Doing
so can weaken the surround sound effect.

Connecting the speakers
Each speaker connection on the receiver
comprises a positive (+) and negative ()
terminal. Make sure to match these up with the
terminals on the speakers themselves.
CAUTION
These speaker terminals carry
HAZARDOUS LIVE voltage. To prevent
the risk of electric shock when connecting
or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching
any uninsulated parts.
Make sure that all the bare speaker wire is
twisted together and inserted fully into the
speaker terminal. If any of the bare speaker
wire touches the back panel it may cause
the power to cut off as a safety measure.
Bare wire connections
1 Twist exposed wire strands together.
(fig. A)
2 Loosen terminal and insert exposed wire.
(fig. B)
3 Tighten terminal. (fig. C)
Important
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.
CAUTION
Make sure that all speakers are securely
installed. This not only improves sound
quality, but also reduces the risk of
damage or injury resulting from speakers
being knocked over or falling in the event of
external shocks such as earthquakes.

Installing your speaker system
At the very least, front left and right speakers only are necessary. Note that your main surround
speakers should always be connected as a pair, but you can connect just one surround back
speaker if you like (it must be connected to the left surround back terminal).

Bi-amping your speakers
Bi-amping is when you connect the high
frequency driver and low frequency driver of
your speakers to different amplifiers for better
crossover performance. Your speakers must be
bi-ampable to do this (having separate
terminals for high and low) and the sound
improvement will depend on the kind of
speakers youre using.
CAUTION
Most speakers with both High and Low
terminals have two metal plates that
connect the High to the Low terminals.
These must be removed when you are bi-
amping the speakers or you could severely
damage the amplifier. See your speaker
manual for more information.
If your speakers have a removable
crossover network, make sure you do not
remove it for bi-amping. Doing so may
damage your speakers.
Bi-wiring your speakers
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they
support bi-amping.
With these connections, the Surr Back
System setting makes no difference.
To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker
cords to the speaker terminal on the receiver.

CAUTION
Dont connect different speakers from the
same terminal in this way.
When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions
for bi-amping shown at the left.

About the audio connection
There are several types of audio input and
output terminals on this receiver. The receiver
selects the first available signal in the following
order:
With an HDMI cable, video and audio
signals can be transferred in high quality
over a single cable.
CAUTION
When connecting optical cables, be careful
when inserting the plug not to damage the
shutter protecting the optical socket.
When storing optical cable, coil loosely.
The cable may be damaged if bent around
sharp corners.
About the video converter
The video converter ensures that all video
sources are output through all of the
MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks. The only
exception is HDMI: since this resolution
cannot be downsampled, you must connect
your monitor/TV to the receivers HDMI video
outputs when connecting this video source.
1
If several video components are assigned to
the same input function (see The Input Setup
menu on page 39), the converter gives priority
to HDMI, component, then composite (in that
order).

1
The HDMI connection transfers
uncompressed digital video, as well as almost
every kind of digital audio that the connected
component is compatible with, including DVD-
Video, DVD-Audio, SACD, Dolby Digital Plus,
Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio (see
below for limitations), Video CD/Super VCD
and CD. See About the video converter on
page 22 for more on HDMI compatibility.
This receiver incorporates High-Definition
Multimedia Interface (HDMI) technology.
This receiver supports the functions described
below through HDMI connections.

Note
1 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 (DVIHDMI) to do so. A DVI connection, however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio
dealer for more information.
If you connect a component that is not compatible with HDCP, an HDCP ERROR message is displayed on the front
panel display. Some components that are compatible with HDCP still cause this message to be displayed, but so long
as there is no problem with displaying video this is not a malfunction.
Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. To take advantage of these
formats, however, make sure that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding format.
2 Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component.

Connecting your DVD player with no HDMI output
This diagram shows connections of a TV (with HDMI input) and DVD player (or other playback
component with no HDMI output) to the receiver.
If you want to listen to the sound of the TV
over the receiver, connect the receiver and
TV with audio cables.
Component video should give superior
picture quality when compared to
composite. You can also take advantage of
progressive scan video (if your source and
TV are both compatible), which delivers a
very stable, flicker-free picture. See the
manuals that came with your TV and
source component to check whether they
are compatible with progressive-scan
video.

MULTI-ZONE setup
This receiver can power up to two independent
systems in separate rooms after you have
made the proper MULTI-ZONE connections.
Different sources can be playing in two zones
at the same time or, depending on your needs,
the same source can also be used. The main
and sub zone have independent power (the
main zone power can be off while sub zone is
on) and the sub zone can be controlled by the
remote or front panel controls. However, you
may need to specify the volume settings in
ZONE Audio Setup on page 98.
Making MULTI-ZONE connections
It is possible to make these connections if you
have a separate TV and speakers for the sub
zone (ZONE 2). You will also need a separate
amplifier if you are not using the MULTI-ZONE
setup using speaker terminals (ZONE 2) below
for the sub zone.
MULTI-ZONE listening options
The following table shows the signals that can
be output to ZONE 2:
Basic MULTI-ZONE setup (ZONE 2)

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.
1

1 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the IR IN
jack on the rear of this receiver.
2 Connect the IR IN jack of another
component to the IR OUT jack on the rear of
this receiver to link it to the IR receiver.
Please see the manual supplied with your IR
receiver for the type of cable necessary for the
connection.
If you want to link a Pioneer component to
the IR receiver, see Operating other Pioneer
components with this units sensor below
to connect to the CONTROL jacks instead
of the IR OUT jack.
Operating other Pioneer
components with this units
sensor
Many Pioneer components have SR CONTROL
jacks which can be used to link components
together so that you can use just the remote
sensor of one component. When you use a
remote control, the control signal is passed
along the chain to the appropriate component.
2
Important
Note that if you use this feature, make sure
that you also have at least one set of analog
audio, video or HDMI jacks connected to
another component for grounding purposes.
1 Decide which component you want to use
the remote sensor of.
When you want to control any component in
the chain, this is the remote sensor at which
youll point the corresponding remote control.
Note
1 Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver
remote sensor window.
Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your component
to check for IR compatibility.
If using two remote controls (at the same time), the IR receivers remote sensor takes priority over the remote sensor
on the front panel.

System setting according to connections to
the surround back speaker terminals.
4 Follow the instructions on-screen.
Make sure the microphone is connected, and if
youre using a subwoofer, make sure it is switched
on and set to a comfortable volume level.
5 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 its doing this.

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 dont
need to select OK and press ENTER in step 6.
With error messages (such as Too much
ambient noise! or Check microphone.)
select RETRY after checking for ambient
noise (see Problems when using the Auto
MCACC Setup below) and verifying the mic
connection. If there doesnt seem to be a
problem, you can simply select GO NEXT
and continue.
The configuration shown on-screen should
reflect the actual speakers you have.
If you see an ERR message (or the speaker
configuration displayed isnt correct), there
may be a problem with the speaker
connection.
If selecting RETRY doesnt work, turn off
the power and check the speaker
connections. If there doesnt seem to be a
problem, you can simply use / to select
the speaker and / to change the
setting and continue.
If Reverse Phase is displayed, the
speakers 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.

ENTER.
the receiver outputs more test tones to
determine the optimum receiver settings for
Channel Level, Speaker Distance, Standing
Wave and Acoustic Cal EQ.
Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this
is happening. It may take 3 to 10 minutes.

7 The 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 Auto
MCACC Setup.
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 Advanced
MCACC menu on page 76 or The system and
the other setup on page 92.
2
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.
The Input Setup menu
You only need to make settings in the Input
Setup menu if you didnt hook up your digital
equipment according to the default settings
(see Input function default and possible
settings on page 40). In this case, you need to
tell the receiver what equipment is hooked up
to which terminal so the buttons on the remote
control correspond to the components youve
connected.
Use C RECEIVER to switch on.
select menu items. Press RETURN to confirm
and exit the current menu.
MENU.
4 Select Input Setup from the System
Setup menu.
5 Select the input function that you want to
set up.
The default names correspond with the names
next to the terminals on the rear panel (such as
DVD or VIDEO) which, in turn, correspond
with the names on the remote control.
Note
1 You can also choose to view the settings from the MCACC Data Check screen. See Checking MCACC Data on page 88
for more on this.
2 Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm will
end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 93.
The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting
should be accurate (taking delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
If Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing
environment, we recommend adjusting the settings manually.

Basic playback
Playing a source
Here are the basic instructions for playing a
source (such as a DVD disc) with your home
theater system.
1 Switch on your system components and
receiver.
Start by switching on the playback component
(for example a DVD player), your TV
1
and
subwoofer (if you have one), then the receiver
(press C RECEIVER).
Make sure the setup microphone is
disconnected.
2 Select the input function you want to
play.
You can use the input function buttons on the
remote control, INPUT SELECT, or the front
panel INPUT SELECTOR dial.
2
3 Press , then press AUTO/ALC/
DIRECT (AUTO SURR/ALC/STREAM DIRECT) to
select AUTO SURROUND and start playback
of the source.
3
If youre playing a Dolby Digital or DTS surround
sound DVD disc, you should hear surround
sound. If you are playing a stereo source, you
will only hear sound from the front left/right
speakers in the default listening mode.
See also Listening to your system on
page 52 for information on different ways
of listening to sources.
It is possible to check on the front panel display
whether or not multi-channel playback is being
performed properly.
When using a surround back speaker,
2D+PLIIx MOVIE is displayed when playing
Dolby Digital signals, and DTS+Neo:6 is
displayed when playing DTS 5.1-channel signals.
When not using a surround back speaker,
DOLBY DIGITAL is displayed when playing
Dolby Digital signals.
If the display does not correspond to the input
signal and listening mode, check the
connections and settings.
4 Use the volume control to adjust the
volume level.
Turn down the volume of your TV so that all
sound is coming from the speakers connected
to this receiver.
Note
1 Make sure that the TVs video input is set to this receiver (for example, if you connected this receiver to the VIDEO
jacks on your TV, make sure that the VIDEO input is now selected).
2 If you need to manually switch the input signal type press SIGNAL SEL (page 57).
3 You may need to check the digital audio output settings on your DVD player or digital satellite receiver. It should be
set to output Dolby Digital, DTS and 88.2 kHz / 96 kHz PCM (2 channel) audio, and if there is an MPEG audio option,
set this to convert the MPEG audio to PCM.
Depending on your DVD player or source discs, you may only get digital 2 channel stereo and analog sound. In this
case, the receiver must be set to a multichannel listening mode (see Listening in surround sound on page 52 if you
need to do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.

If the video signal does not appear on your
TV or flat screen 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, use an
analog video connection.

Listening to the radio
The following steps show you how to tune in to
FM and AM radio broadcasts using the
automatic (search) and manual (step) tuning
functions. If you already know the frequency of
the station you want, see Tuning directly to a
station below. Once you are tuned to a station
you can memorize the frequency for recall
latersee Saving station presets on page 50
for more on how to do this.
1 Press TUNER to select the tuner.
2 Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM),
if necessary.
Each press switches the band between FM and
AM.
3 Tune to a station.
There are three ways to do this:
Automatic tuning To search for stations
in the currently selected band, press and
hold TUNE / for about a second. The
receiver will start searching for the next
station, stopping when it has found one.
Repeat to search for other stations.
Manual tuning To change the frequency
one step at a time, press TUNE /.
High speed tuning Press and hold
TUNE / for high speed tuning. Release
the button at the frequency you want.
Improving FM sound
If the TUNED or STEREO indicator doesnt light
when tuning to an FM station because the
signal is weak, press MPX to switch the
receiver into mono reception mode. This
should improve the sound quality and allow
you to enjoy the broadcast.
Using Neural THX
This feature uses Neural Surround, THX

technologies to achieve optimal surround
sound from FM radio.
While listening to FM radio, press AUTO/
ALC/DIRECT for Neural THX listening.
See About Neural THX Surround on page 113
for more on this.
The Neural THX mode can be selected also
with STANDARD.
Tuning directly to a station
Sometimes, youll already know the frequency of
the station you want to listen to. In this case, you
can simply enter the frequency directly using
the number buttons on the remote control.
2 Use BAND to change the band (FM or AM),
if necessary.

Better sound using Phase
Control
This receivers 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
1
for an optimal sound image. The
default setting is on and we recommend
leaving Phase Control switched on for all
sound sources.
Press , then press PHASE CTRL
(PHASE CONTROL) to switch on phase
correction.
The PHASE CONTROL indicator on the front
panel lights.
Note
1 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.
The PHASE CONTROL feature is available even when the headphones are plugged in.
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.
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 the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on.
When the MULTI CH IN input is selected.
When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH in Setting the Audio options on page 63.

using the KURO LINK 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.
This function is activated when KURO LINK is
set to ON.
1 Press , then press PQLS to
select PQLS setting.
The setting is displayed on the front panel
display.
PQLS AUTO PQLS is enabled. A
precision quartz controller in this receiver
eliminates distortion caused by timing
errors (jitter), giving you the best possible
digital-to-analog conversion from audio CD
sources when you use the HDMI interface.
This is valid as an HDMI function for PQLS-
compatible players.
PQLS OFF PQLS is disabled.

Chapter 10:
The Advanced MCACC menu
the Advanced MCACC menu
The Advanced MCACC (Multi Channel
ACoustic Calibration) system was developed in
Pioneers laboratories with the aim of making it
possible for home users to perform
adjustments of the same level as in a studio
easily and with high precision. The acoustic
characteristics of the listening environment
are measured and the frequency response is
calibrated accordingly to allow high precision,
automatic analysis and optimal calibration of
the sound field to bring it closer to a studio
environment than ever before. Furthermore,
while it was previously difficult to eliminate
standing waves, this receiver is equipped with
a standing wave control function using a
unique process to perform acoustic analysis
and reduce their influence.
This section describes how to calibrate the
sound field automatically and fine-adjust the
sound field data manually.
Use C RECEIVER to switch on.
1
If headphones are connected to the
receiver, disconnect them.
2
Press HOME MENU at any time to exit the
HOME MENU.
3 Select Advanced MCACC from the
HOME MENU, then press ENTER.
4 Select the setting you want to adjust.
Full Auto MCACC See Automatically
setting up for surround sound (Auto
MCACC) on page 37 for a quick and
effective automatic surround setup.

/ATT 0.0dB (all filters)
Acoustic standing waves occur when, under
certain conditions, sound waves from your
speaker system resonate mutually with sound
waves reflected off the walls in your listening
area. This can have a negative effect on the
overall sound, especially at certain lower
frequencies. Depending on speaker placement,
your listening position, and ultimately the
shape of your room, it results in an overly
resonant (boomy) sound. The Standing Wave
Control uses filters to reduce the effect of overly
resonant sounds in your listening area. During
playback of a source, you can customize the
filters used for Standing Wave Control for each
of your MCACC presets.

1 Select Standing Wave from the Manual
MCACC setup menu.
2 Adjust the parameters for the Standing
Wave Control.
Filter Channel Select the channel to
which you will apply the filter(s): MAIN (all
except center channel and subwoofer),
Center or SW (subwoofer).
TRIM (only available when the filter channel
above is SW) Adjust the subwoofer
channel level (to compensate for the
difference in output post-filter).
Freq / Q / ATT These are the filter
parameters where Freq represents the
frequency you will be targeting and Q is the
bandwidth (the higher the Q, the narrower
the bandwidth, or range) of the attenuation

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 youre
not satisfied with the adjustment provided in
(Auto MCACC) on page 37 or Automatic
MCACC (Expert) on page 77, you can also
adjust these settings manually to get a
frequency balance that suits your tastes.
Note
1 You can switch on or off the Standing Wave and Acoustic Calibration EQ feature in the AUDIO PARAMETER menu.
See Setting the Audio options on page 63 for more on this.
2 Since they will be overwritten, you may want to save the standing wave settings made with the Auto MCACC Setup
to another MCACC preset.

Using Acoustic Calibration EQ Professional
1 Select EQ Professional, then press ENTER.
2 Select an option and press ENTER.
Reverb Measurement Use this to
measure the reverb characteristics of your
room.
Reverb View You can check the reverb
measurements made for specified
frequency ranges in each channel.
1
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 calibration using this setup will
alter the settings you made in
Automatically setting up for surround
sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37 or
Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 77 and
is not necessary if youre satisfied with
these settings.
3 If you selected Reverb Measurement,
select EQ ON or OFF, and then START.
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).
2
Note that the EQ
response may not appear entirely flat due
to adjustments necessary for your listening
area.
3
When the reverb measurement is finished, you
can select Reverb View to see the results on-
screen. See Professional Calibration EQ
graphical output on page 107 for
troubleshooting information.
Note
1 If the Reverb View procedure is performed after the Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on
page 37 or Reverb Measurement operation, depending on the standing wave control setting, differences may
appear on the reverb graph. With the Auto MCACC function, the reverberations are measured with the standing waves
controlled, so the reverb characteristics graph shows the characteristics with the effect of the standing waves
eliminated. By contrast, the Reverb Measurement function measures the reverberations without controlling the
standing waves, so the graph indicates the reverb characteristics including the effect of the standing waves. If you
wish to check the reverb characteristics of the room itself (with the standing waves as such), we recommend using
the Reverb Measurement function.

the MCACC memory to be stored, then enter
the desired time setting for calibration, and
then select START.
Based on the reverb measurement above, you
can choose the time period that will be used for
the final frequency adjustment and calibration.
Even though you can make this setting without
reverb measurement, it is best to use the
measurement results as a reference for your
time setting. For an optimal system calibration
based on the direct sound coming from the
speakers, we recommend using the 30-50ms
setting.
Use / to select the setting. Use / to
switch between them.
Select the setting from the following time
periods (in milliseconds): 0-20ms, 10-30ms,
20-40ms, 30-50ms, 40-60ms, 50-70ms and
60-80ms. This setting will be applied to all
channels during calibration.
When youre finished, select START. It will take
about 2 to 4 minutes for the calibration to finish.
After the Acoustic Calibration Equalization is
set, you are given the option to check the
settings on-screen.
Note
1 The After display when measurements have been made using the Full Auto MCACC or Auto MCACC (ALL) function
shows the graph for the inferred reverb characteristics after EQ Type : SYMMETRY calibration.
2 The reverb characteristics graph is overwritten each time the reverberations are measured. No Data is displayed if
there is no reverb characteristic data, for example before measurements have been taken.

tone moves from speaker to speaker
automatically.
Note
1 If you selected Speaker B, ZONE 2 or Front Bi-Amp (in Surround back speaker setting on page 93) you cant adjust
the surround back settings.
If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.
If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that speaker is hooked up to the left surround back
terminal.
2 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 cant 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 youre having problems, the easiest option is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting SMALL for
the front speakers.
3 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.
If youre using a THX speaker setup, confirm that the crossover frequency is set to 80Hz.

Other audio problems
Symptom Remedy
Broadcast stations cannot be
selected automatically, or
there is considerable noise in
radio broadcasts.
For FM broadcasts
Fully extend the FM wire antenna, adjust the position for best reception and
secure to a wall, etc.
Use an outdoor antenna for better reception (see page 30).
For AM broadcasts
Adjust the position and direction of the AM antenna.
Use an outdoor antenna for better reception (see page 30).
Noise may be caused by interference from other equipment, such as a
fluorescent light, motor, etc. Switch off or move the other equipment, or move
the AM antenna.
A multichannel DVD source
appears to be downmixed to
2 channels during playback.
Make sure that the multichannel analog inputs are selected (see Selecting the
multichannel analog inputs on page 42).
Noise is output when
scanning a DTS CD.
This is not a malfunction of the receiver. The scan function of your player
alters the digital information, making it unreadable, resulting in noise being
output. Lower the volume when scanning.
When playing a DTS format
LD there is audible noise on
the soundtrack.
Make sure that the input signal type is set to DIGITAL (see Choosing the input
signal on page 57).
Cant record audio. You can only make a digital recording from a digital source, and an analog
recording from an analog source.
For digital sources, make sure that what youre recording isnt copy protected.

(see Connecting other audio components on page 29).
Subwoofer output is very low. To route more signal to the subwoofer, set it to PLUS or set the front speakers
to SMALL (see Speaker Setting on page 94).
Everything seems to be set up
correctly, but the playback
sound is odd.
The speakers may be out of phase. Check that the positive/negative speaker
terminals on the receiver are matched with the corresponding terminals on the
speakers (see Connecting the speakers on page 18).
The PHASE CONTROL
feature doesnt seem to have
an audible effect.
If applicable, check that the lowpass filter switch on your subwoofer is off, or
the lowpass cutoff is set to the highest frequency setting. If there is a PHASE
setting on your subwoofer, set it to 0 (or depending on the subwoofer, the
setting where you think it has the best overall effect on the sound).
Make sure the speaker distance setting is correct for all speakers (see Speaker
Distance on page 96).
Noise or hum can be heard
even when there is no sound
being input.
Check that personal computers or other digital components connected to the
same power source are not causing interference.
There seems to be a time lag
between the speakers and
the output of the subwoofer.
See Automatically setting up for surround sound (Auto MCACC) on page 37 to
set up your system again using MCACC (this will automatically compensate for
a delay in the subwoofer output).
The maximum volume
available (shown in the front
panel display) is lower than
the +12dB maximum.
Check that the Volume Limit is set to OFF (see Volume Limit Setup on
page 99).

display doesnt work, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in Setting the Video
options on page 66) OFF.
Cant record video. Check that the source is not copy-protected.
The video converter is not available when making recordings. Check that the
same type of video cable is used for connecting both the recorder and the video
source (the one you want to record) to this receiver.
Noisy, intermittent, or
distorted picture.
Sometimes a video deck may output a noisy video signal (during scanning,
for example), or the video quality may just be poor (with some video game units,
for example). The picture quality may also depend on the settings, etc. of your
display device. Switch off the video converter and reconnect the source and
display device using the same type of connection (component or composite),
then start playback again.
Video signals are not output
from the component
terminal.
When a monitor only compatible with resolutions of 480i is connected to the
component terminal and another monitor is connected to the HDMI terminal,
the video signals may not be output to the monitor connected to the component
terminal. If this happens, do the following:
Turn off the power of the monitor connected to the HDMI terminal.

happens, select GO NEXT and continue.
If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when
using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective speakers, etc.),
it may not be possible to properly identify the polarity.
After using the Auto MCACC
Setup, the speaker size
setting is incorrect.
There may have been some low frequency noise in the room from an air-
conditioner, motor, etc. Switch off all other appliances in the room and use
Auto MCACC Setup again.
Depending on a number of factors (room size, speaker placement, etc.) this
may occur in some cases. Change the speaker setting manually in Speaker
Setting on page 94, and use the ALL (Keep SP System) option for the Auto
MCACC menu in Automatic MCACC (Expert) on page 77 if this is a recurring
problem.

Display
Symptom Remedy
The EQ response displayed in
the graphical output
following calibration does not
appear entirely flat.
There are cases where the graph does not appear flat (even when selecting
ALL CH ADJ in the Auto MCACC Setup) due to adjustments made to
compensate for room characteristics to achieve optimal sound.
Areas of the graph may appear identical (before and after) when there is little
or no adjustment needed.
The graph may appear to have shifted vertically when comparing before and
after measurements.
EQ adjustments made using
the Manual MCACC setup on
page 81 do not appear to
change the graphical output.
Despite level adjustments being made, the filters used for analysis may not
display these adjustments in the graphical output. However, these adjustments
are taken this into account by the filters dedicated to overall system calibration.
Lower frequency response
curves do not seem to have
been calibrated for SMALL
speakers.
Low frequencies used in bass management (the subwoofer channel) will not

Configuration A
Use component video cables to connect the
video output of your HDMI-equipped
component to the receivers component video
input. The receiver can then convert the analog
component video signal to a digital HDMI
signal for transmission to the display. For this
configuration, use the most convenient
connection (digital is recommended) for
sending audio to the receiver. See the
operating instructions for more on audio
connections.
Note
The picture quality will change slightly
during conversion.
Configuration B
Connect your HDMI-equipped component
directly to the display using an HDMI cable.
Then use the most convenient connection
(digital is recommended) for sending audio 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,
youll 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.
Amp-linked operation not
possible using KURO LINK
function.
Check the HDMI connections.
The cable may be damaged.
Select ON for the KURO LINK setting (see KURO LINK Setup on page 61).
Turn the TVs power on before turning on this receivers power.
Set the TV side KURO LINK setting to ON.
