Dear Customer:

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you've just purchased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it's time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound come through loud and clear 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.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

- Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association's Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel

Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

Hints on speaker placement

Speakers are usually designed with a particular placement in mind. Some are designed to be floorstanding, while others should be placed on stands to sound their best. Some should be placed near a wall; others should be placed away from walls. We have provided a few tips on getting the best sound from your speakers (following), but you should also follow the guidelines on placement that the speaker manufacturer provided with your particular speakers to get the most out of them.

- Place the front left and right speakers at equal distances from the TV.

• When placing speakers near the TV, we recommend using 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.
• Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center channel is localized at the TV screen.
• If possible, place the surround speakers slightly above ear level.

- Try not to place the surround speakers further away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

Caution

• If you choose to install the center speaker on top of the TV, be sure to secure it with putty, or by other suitable means, to reduce the risk of damage or injury resulting from the speaker falling from the TV in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.
• Make sure no exposed speaker wire is touching the rear panel, this may cause the receiver to turn off automatically.
  • These speaker terminals are hazardous when live. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cable.

About the wireless speaker outputs

To the right of the main speaker terminals there is a pair of WIRELESS OUT jacks for use with the Pioneer XW-HTP550 wireless speaker system. Please do not connect any other component to these jacks.

For more information on using a wireless speaker with this receiver, please see the operating instructions that come with the wireless speaker system.

Plugging in

After making sure that everything is connected properly, connect the attached power cable to a wall outlet.

Power cord caution

Handle the power cord by the plug. 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 an electric shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can cause a fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for a replacement.

Surround sound setup

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.

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.

DVD-Video has become the basic source material for home theater due to its size, quality, and ease of use. Depending on the DVD, you can have up to seven different audio tracks coming from one disc, all of them being sent to different speakers in your system. This is what creates a surround sound effect and gives you the feeling of 'being there'.

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, but other possibilities (like listening to a CD with multichannel surround sound) are explained in Listening to your system on page 19.

Switching on

Use the ⏻ STANDBY/ON button on the front panel or the remote control to switch the receiver on or into standby.

Remember that when the receiver is in standby it still uses a small amount of power (0.45 W). Unplug from the wall outlet to completely disconnect the power. The receiver will retain its settings for about four weeks when unplugged.

Quick setup using the Room Setup

The Room Setup feature gives you a very simple way to set up your receiver for good surround sound by setting the room size and your seating position in the room.

You can make more detailed settings for surround sound later if you want, setting individual channel levels and speaker distances. See below for more details.

Listening to your system

Selecting a source

You can use either the front panel buttons or the remote control to select what you want to listen to; your DVD player, the sound from your TV, the built-in radio tuner, and so on.

INPUT SELECTOR DIGITAL 5TB DVD/DVR FM/AM TAPE/VCR TV VOLUME

1 Use one of the INPUT SELECTOR buttons to select an input source.

• DVD/DVR – Coaxial digital input for a DVD player or recorder.
• STB – Coaxial digital input for a set-top box such as a satellite receiver or cable box.
  • DIGITAL – Optical digital input for any kind of digital audio component (CD, DVD, MD player, etc.).
• TV – Analog inputs for your TV's stereo audio output.
• TAPE/VCR – Analog inputs for a tape deck or VCR.
• FM/AM – The built-in radio tuner. See the following chapter for how to use this.

2 Use the front panel MASTER VOLUME knob or the VOLUME +/- buttons on the remote to adjust the volume.

Note

- The input level for TAPE/VCR can be adjusted if it is too high. See Input attenuator setting on page 26.

- If the channel level has been raised using the channel level settings (see page 17), it's possible that the volume level will not go all the way up to MAX with a sound mode on. This is indicated by a blinking volume indicator in the display.

Using the Auto listening mode

The simplest way to listen to any source is using the Auto listening mode. This lets the receiver choose a default setting depending on the kind of source playing.

AUTO

- While listening to a source, press AUTO (front panel or remote) to select Auto listening mode.

Depending on the kind of source you're listening to, 2 ch, Multich or 1 ch is automatically selected:

• 2 ch – Sound plays through the front left and right speakers only (used for two-channel Dolby Digital, DTS, PCM or analog sources).
• Multi ch – Sound plays through all the speakers used in the multichannel source (used for multichannel Dolby Digital or DTS sources).
• 1 ch – Sound plays through the center speaker only (used for dual mono Dolby Digital or single channel DTS sources).

Listening in surround sound

Using the SURROUND button you can listen to any source in surround sound.

SURROUND

- While listening to a source, press SURROUND.

If the source is Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround encoded, the proper decoding format will automatically be selected and shows in the display.

With two channel sources, press SURROUND repeatedly to select from:

• MOVIE – Up to 5.1 channel sound using Dolby Pro Logic II, especially suited to movie sources
• MUSIC – Up to 5.1 channel sound using Dolby Pro Logic II, especially suited to music sources
• DOLBY PL – 5.1 channel surround sound using Dolby Pro Logic
• 5 – STEREO – Stereo sound but using all the speakers (for single channel sources, the one channel is output from all the speakers)

Note

- You can't use the surround mode with 96/88.2 kHz PCM.

Listening in stereo

Just as you can listen to any source in surround sound, you can also choose to listen to sources in stereo. In this case, all sound will be played through the front left and right speakers and the subwoofer.

Multichannel sources are mixed down to stereo so that you still hear the full soundtrack.

Note that single channel sources are played through the center speaker and subwoofer only in this mode.

STEREO

- While listening to a source, press STEREO for stereo playback.

Using the Sound modes

In addition to the above listening modes, you can also select a Sound mode.

OFF SOUND Pioneer RECEIVER

- While listening to a source, press SOUND to select a Sound mode.

Press repeatedly to select one of the following:

• F.SURR. – Front surround, recommended when the surround speakers are placed at the front, giving the impression of surround sound.
  • GAME – Surround sound designed for video game sources
  • S. BASS – Enhanced bass
• QUIET – Use when listening at low volume to hear the sound more clearly.

- To switch off the Sound mode, press OFF on the remote or SOUND MODE OFF on the front panel.

Using the tone controls

OFF TONE BASS TREBLE Pioneer RECEIVER

The tone controls include separate adjustments for bass and treble.

• When Sound mode is off, you can start to adjust the tone directly from the BASS +/- and TREBLE +/- buttons (without pressing TONE first).
• If a Sound mode is active and you press BASS +/- or TREBLE +/- then TONE OFF is displayed.

Listening through headphones

When you connect a pair of headphones for private listening the front panel display shows PHONES IN and sound from the speakers is muted.

Sound through the headphones is always stereo; multichannel sources are mixed down as necessary.

When headphones are connected, the AUTO,

SURROUND, STEREO and SOUND buttons are all inoperative.

Dynamic Range Control setting

- Default setting: DRC: OFF

Using this setting, you can compress the dynamic range of Dolby Digital or DTS sources so that low level sounds can be heard more easily (sounding relatively louder) yet louder sounds won't be too overbearing.

Chapter 06:

Using the tuner

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.

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.

INPUT SELECTOR FM/AM TUKING MPX Pioneer RECEIVER

1 Press the FM/AM INPUT SELECTOR button to select the tuner.

The front panel display shows the band (FM or AM) and the frequency. If you want to change the band, press FM/AM again.

2 Tune to a station.

There are three ways to do this:

- Manual (step) tuning

To change the frequency one step at a time, press TUNING +/-

- Automatic tuning

To search for stations in the currently selected band, press and hold TUNING +/- 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.

• High speed tuning

Press and hold TUNING +/- for high speed tuning. Release the button at the frequency you want.

Improving FM stereo sound

If the tuning ( ) or FM stereo () indicators don't light when tuning to a stereo FM station because the signal is weak, press the MPX button to switch the receiver into mono reception mode. This should improve the sound quality and allow you to enjoy the broadcast.

Saving station presets

If you often listen to a particular radio station, it's convenient to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall. This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time.

You can memorize up to 30 stations, stored in three banks, or classes, (A, B and C) of 10 stations each. When saving an FM frequency, the MPX setting (see above) is also stored.

INPUT SELECTOR TUNER 80F FM/AM CLASS TUNING STATION - + - + ENTER
