Chapter 2: Connecting your equipment

Placing the speakers

By connecting the left and right front speakers (L/R), the center speaker (C), the left and right surround speakers (SL/SR), and the subwoofer (SW), a 5.1 ch surround system can be enjoyed. Further, by using an external amplifier, you can connect the left and right surround back speakers (SBL/SBR) or the left and right front height speaker (FHL/FHR) to boost your system up to a 7.1 ch surround system.

  • You can also connect one surround back speaker (SB) and enjoy a 6.1 ch surround system. To achieve the best possible surround sound, install your speakers as shown below.

a. This layout is available only when the additional amplifier is connected to the unit and the surround back or front height speakers are connected to the amplifier. For details, see Connect the surround back or front height speakers on page 11.

Hints on the speaker placement

Where you put your speakers in the room has a big effect on the quality of the sound. The following guidencies 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 2m to 3m (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 sufficient distance from your CRT TV.
  • 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.
  • 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 (2 ft. to 3 ft.) higher than your ears and filled 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.
  • 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 31).
  • 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.
  • Place the left and right front height speakers at least one meter directly above the left and right front speakers.

PIONEER VSX821K - Hints on the speaker placement - 1

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.

PIONEER VSX821K - CAUTION - 1

Important

  • To connect the surround back or front height speakers, an additional amplifier is required. Connect the additional amplifier to the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of this unit and connect the surround back or front height speakers to the additional amplifier (see Connect the surround back or front height speakers on page 11).

Connecting your equipment

Connecting the speakers

The receiver will work with just two stereo speakers (the front speakers in the diagram) but using at least three speakers is recommended, and a complete setup is best for surround sound.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right (R) terminal and the speaker on the left to the left (L) terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/-) terminals on the receiver match those on the speakers.

You can use the speakers connected to the B speaker terminals to listen to stereo playback in another room. See Switching the speaker system on page 12 for the listening options with this setup.

You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6Ω and 16Ω.

However, note that only the front speakers are set to a value between 12Ω and 16Ω if you select SP▶AB in Switching the speaker system on page 12.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

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.

Connect the surround back or front height speakers

Connect the PRE OUT SURR BACK/FRONT HEIGHT outputs of the unit and additional amplifier to add a surround back or front height speaker.

The Pre Out setting must be set if the above connections are performed. Select SURR.Back if the surround back speaker is connected and HEIGHT if the front height speaker is connected (if neither the surround back speaker nor the front height speaker is connected, either setting will suffice) (see The Pre Out Selling on page 37).
- You can use the additional amplifier on the surround back channel pre-outs for a single speaker as well. In this case plug the amplifier into the left (L (Single)) terminal only.

PIONEER VSX821K - Connect the surround back or front height speakers - 1

  • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with one sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Speaker Setting on page 34.
    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.

Other 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.

DIRECT Sources are heard according to the settings made in the Manual SP Setup (speaker setting, channel level, speaker distance), as well as with dual mono settings. You will hear sources according to the number of channels in the signal. Phase Control, Acoustic Calibration EQ, Sound Delay, Auto Delay, LFE Attenuate and Center image functions are available.

PURE DIRECT Analog and PCV sources are heard without any digital processing.

Using the Sound Retriever

When audio data is removed during the compression process, sound quality often suffers from an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever feature employs new DSP technology that helps bring CD quality sound back to compressed 2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure and smoothing jagged artifacts left over after compression.

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 optimal sound image at your listening position. The default selling is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control switched on for all sound sources.

PIONEER VSX821K - Better sound using Phase Control - 1

PIONEER VSX821K - Better sound using Phase Control - 2

Press Reriewpress PHASE to switch the P.CTL (Phase Control) ON or OFF.

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.
  • 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 headphones are connected.

Using surround back channel processing

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).

With a 7.1 channel surround system, audio signals that have undergone matrix decoding processing through surround back channel processing to which the Up Mix function is added are output from the surround back speakers.

PIONEER VSX821K - Using surround back channel processing - 1

PIONEER VSX821K - Using surround back channel processing - 2

Press SB/press SB CH repeatedly to cycle the surround back channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

  • SB ON - Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is turned on.
  • SB AUTO - Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is switched automatically. Matrix decoding processing is only performed when surround back channel signals are detected in the input signals.
  • SB OFF - Matrix decoding processing for generating the surround back component from the surround component is turned off.

Setting the Up Mix function

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 recommended in the example on page 10.
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 OFF.

PIONEER VSX821K - Setting the Up Mix function - 1

1 Switch the receiver into standby.

2 While holding down PRESET on the front panel, and hold the STANDBY/ONfor about two seconds.

  • 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 frontal 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.
  • You can only adjust the Front Height setting when Pre Out Setting is set to Height.
  • Surr - Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of the surround channels is sent to the other speakers).
  • Surr. Back - Select the number of surround back speakers you have (one, two or none). Select LARGE if your surround back speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you didn't connect surround back speakers choose NO.
  • You can only adjust the Surr. Back setting when Pre Out Setting is set to Surr. Back.
    If you select one surround back speaker only, make sure that additional amplifier is hooked up to the PRE OUT L (Single) terminal.
  • Subwoofer - LFE signals and bass frequencies of channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose Inc PLUS setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass frequencies that would normally come out the front and center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies are output from other speakers).
    4 When you're finished, press RETURN.
    You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

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.

Chapter 7: Control with HDMI function

Synchronized operations below with a Control with HDMI-compatible Pioneer TV or Blu-ray Dsc player or with a component of another make that supports the Control with HDMI functions are possible when the component is connected to the receiver using an HDMI cable.

Synchronized amp mode

The receiver's volume can be set and the sound can be muted using the TV's remote control.

Power synchronization with TV

Automatic switching of inputs

The receiver's input switches over automatically when the TV's input is changed or a Control with HDMI-compatible component is played.

Important

  • With Pioneer devices, the Control with HDMI functions are referred to as "KURO LINK".
  • You cannot use this function with components that do not support Control with HDMI.
    We only guarantee this receiver will work with Pioneer made Control with HDMI-compatible components and components of other makes that support the Control with HDMI function. However, we do not guarantee that all synchronized operations will work with components of other makes that support the Control with HDMI function.
  • Use a High Speed HDMI® cable when you want to use the Control with HDMI function. The Control with HDMI function may not work properly if a different type of HDMI cable is used.
  • For details about concrete operations, settings, etc., refer to also the operating instructions for each component.

Making Control with HDMI connections

You can use synchronized operation for a connected TV and up to four other components.

  • Be sure to connect the TV's audio cable to the audio input of this unit. When the TV and receiver are connected by HDMI connections, if the TV supports the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, the sound of the TV is input to the receiver via the HDMI terminal, so there is no need to connect an audio cable. In this case, see ARC at HDMI Setup to ON (see HDMI Setup below).

For details, see Connecting using HDMI on page 14.

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 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.
  • While the receiver is equipped with four HDMI inputs, the Control with HDMI function can only be used with up to three DVD or Blu-ray Disc players or up to three DVD or Blu-ray Disc recorders.

HDMI Setup

You must adjust the settings of this receiver as well as the connected Control with HDMI-compatible components in order to make use of the Control with HDMI function. For more information see the operating instructions for each component.

Control with HDMI function

6 Select the 'ARC' setting you want.

When a TV supporting the HDMI Audio Return Channel function is connected to the receiver, the sound of the TV can be input via the HDMI terminal.

  • ON - The TV's sound is input via the HDMI terminal. This can only be selected when Control is set to ON.
  • OFF - The TV's sound is input from the audio input terminals other than HDMI inputs.

7 When you're finished, press RETURN.

You return to the System Setup menu.

Before using synchronization

Once you have finished all connections and settings, you must:

1 Put all components into standby mode.

2 Turn the power on for all components, with the power for the TV being turned on last.
3 Choose the HDMI input to which the TV is connected to this receiver, and see if video output from connected components displays properly on the screen or not.
4 Check whether the components connected to all HDMI inputs are properly displayed.

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.
- When in the synchronized amp mode, the synchronized amp mode is canceled when the receiver's power is turned off. To turn the synchronized amp mode back on, set audio to be played through the receiver from the TV's menu screen, etc. This receiver will power up and switch to the synchronized amp mode.

  • 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 synchronized amp mode is canceled, the receiver's power turns off if you were viewing an HDMI input or a TV program on the TV.

Power synchronization with TV

  • 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.)

Automatic switching of inputs

  • The receiver's input switches automatically when the Control with HDMI-compatible component is played.
  • The receiver's input switches automatically when the TV's input is switched.
    The synchronized amp mode remains in effect even if the receiver's input is switched to a component other than one connected by HDMI.

About connections with a product of a different brand that supports the Control with HDMI function

The synchronized operations below can be used when the receiver's Control with HDMI function is connected to a TV of a brand other than Pioneer that supports the Control with HDMI function. (Depending on the TV, however, some of the Control with HDMI functions may not work.)

  • 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 sound of TV programs or an external input connected to the TV can also be output from the speakers connected to the receiver. (If the TV does not support the HDMI Audio Return Channel function, this requires connection of an optical digital cable, etc., in addition to the HDMI cable.)

The synchronized operations below can be used when the receiver's Control with HDMI function is connected to a player or recorder of a brand other than Pioneer that supports the Control with HDMI function.

  • When playback starts on the player or recorder, the receiver's input switches to the HDMI input to which that component is connected.

See the Pioneer website for the latest information on the models of non-Pioneer brands and products that support the Control with H DMI function.

Cautions on the Control with HDMI function

  • Connect the TV and components (Bi-ray Disc player, etc.) directly to this receiver. Interrupting a direct connection with other amps or an AV converter (such as an HDMI switch) can cause operational errors.
  • 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.

Chapter 8: Controlling the rest of your system

Setting the remote to control other components

Most components can be assigned to one of the input function buttons using the component's manufacturer preset code stored in the remote.

However, please note that 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.

Troubleshooting

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check the points below. Take a look at the other components and electrical appliances being used because sometimes the problem may lie there. If the trouble isn't sorted out even after going through the checks below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service company to carry out repair work.

If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect the power plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.

General

The power does not turn on.

Disconnect the power plug from the outlet, and insert again. Make sure there are no loose strands of speaker wire touching the rear panel. This could cause the receiver to shut off automatically.

The receiver suddenly switches off.

When the Auto Power Down function is working, the power will automatically turn off if the receiver has not operated for several hours. Check the setting for the Auto Power Down function (see The Auto Power Down menu on page 37).
After about a minute (you won't be able to switch the unit on during this time), switch the receiver back on. If the message persists, call a Pioneer authorized independent service company.

The power suddenly turns on or off, or the input suddenly changes (When the Control with HDMI is ON).

This happens because of the synchronized operation due to the Control with HDMI function. If synchronized operations are not needed, set the Control with HDMI to OFF (see HOMI Setup on page 38).

OVERHEAT shows in the display and the power turns off. The temperature within the unit has exceeded the allowable value. Try moving the unit for better ventilation (see page 2) Lower the volume level. TEMP shows in the display and the volume level drops.

- Use the same type of video cables for the source component and TV to connect to this receiver (see About video outputs connection on page 13).
Check The Input Assign menu on page 36 to make sure you're assigned the correct input.
The video input selected on the TV monitor is incorrect. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the TV.

No sound from subwoofer.

Make sure the subwoofer is switched on.
If the subwoofer has a volume knob, make sure it's turned up.
The Doble Digital or DTs source you are listening to may not have an LFE channel.
Switch the subwoofer setting in Speaker Setting on page 34 to YES or PLUS.
Switch the LFE ATT (LFE Attenuate) on page 32 to LFEATT0 or LFEATT5

No sound from surround or center speakers.

Connect the speakers properly (refer to page 11).
Refer to Speaker Settings on page 34 to check the speaker settings.
Refer to Channel Level on page 35 to check the speaker levels.

The Phase Control feature doesn't seem to have an audible effect.

If applicable, check that the lowpass filter switch on your subwoofer is off, or the owpass cutoff is set to the highest frequency setting. If there is a PHASE setting on your subwoofer, set it to 0^ for 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 36).

Considerable noise in radio broadcasts.

Connect the antenna (page 18) and adjust the position for best reception.
- Route any loose cables away from the antenna terminals and wires.

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. Overtime, 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.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:

  • Set your volume control at a low setting.
  • Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
    Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:

Do not turn up the volume so high that you can't hear what's around you.
Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
- Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.
