D36-P4_A_En Wash hands after handling HTS-LX70_En.book Page 4 Wednesday, August 8, 2007 4:44 PMS001_En 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

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

You can determine the correct base for a speaker by checking if the screw’s location lines up correctly when the speaker is placed atop the base. (There are specific bases for the front/center (L) and surround speaker (R), and for the front/center (R) and surround speaker (L), with two of each type included.) When not using the supplied speaker bases

• Attach the non-skid pads to the base of each of the front/center and surround speakers (as shown).Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the base of each speaker. Connect the speaker system Refer to Connecting up to connect the speakers properly. After connecting everything, place the speakers as shown in the diagram above for optimal surround sound. After placing the speakers, run the Auto MCACC setup (page 28) to complete your surround sound setup. Additional notes on speaker placement
• Install the main front left and right speakers at an equal distance from the TV.• When using the Standard surround setup, install the surround speakers slightly above ear level for optimum effect. • When using the Front surround setup, separate the left and right speakers by about 4.5 feet for optimum effect.Precautions:• Do not place the speaker on an unstable surface, as doing so may cause the speaker to fall and cause damage or bodily injury.• All speakers supplied with this system are magnetically shielded. However, depending on the installation location, color distortion may occur if a speaker is installed extremely close to the screen of a television set. If this happens, turn the power switch of the television set OFF, and turn it ON after 15 min to 30 min. If the problem persists, place the speaker system away from the television set.• For safety, make sure that there is no exposed bare speaker wire outside of the speaker terminals.• Do not connect the supplied speakers with any other amplifier. This may result in malfunction or fire.• Do not connect any speakers other than those supplied to this system.• The speaker system grill cannot be removed. Do not try to forcibly remove it since doing so may damage the grille.• When cleaning the cabinet, use the provided cleaning cloth.Do not allow alcohol, thinner, benzene, or insecticides to come into contact with the surface, since finish discoloration may occur.Also, when using chemically impregnated cleaning cloths, follow their precautions carefully.

Getting started Important

• Press to set the remote control to receiver control mode in order to operate the receiver subwoofer (make sure that the LCD displays the RECEIVER screen, as shown below). Using the Auto MCACC setup for optimal surround sound The Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system measures the acoustic characteristics of your listening area, taking into account ambient noise, and testing for channel delay and channel level. After you have set up the microphone provided, the system uses the information from a series of test tones to measure standing wave and reverb, optimizing the speaker settings and equalization (MCACC Effect) for your particular room.

• The test tones used for Auto MCACC setup are loud; however, do not turn the volume down during setup as this may result in a sub-optimal setup.

• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not moved during the MCACC setup. 1 Connect the microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on back of the display unit. 2 Place the microphone at your normal listening position. Place it about ear height, and make sure it is level by using a table or chair. Make sure there are no obstacles between the speakers and the microphone.

If the receiver subwoofer is off, press

RECEIVER to turn the power on. 4 Press MCACC. Try to be as quiet as possible after pressing MCACC. The volume increases automatically and the system outputs a series of test tones.

• To cancel Auto MCACC setup before it has finished, press MCACC. The unit will continue to use the previous settings.

• If the ambient noise level is too high, Noisy! blinks in the display for five seconds. To exit and check the noise levels

, press MCACC, or to try again, press ENTER when Retry shows in the display.

• If you see an Error MIC! or Error Speaker! message in the display, there may be a problem with your mic or the speaker connections. To try again, press ENTER

When the MCACC setup is complete, the volume level returns to normal, Complete

shows in the display, and MCACC Effect is activated.

• Be sure to disconnect the microphone from this unit upon completion of the Auto MCACC setup. Note 1 You only need to use the Auto MCACC setup once (unless you change the placement of your speakers or your room layout). RCV RECEIVER SURR ADV SURR F.S. SURR 2 • If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient noise, echo off the walls, obstacles blocking the speak- ers 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.
• Some older TVs may interfere with the operation of the mic. If this seems to be happening, switch off the TV during Auto MCACC setup. 3 If this doesn’t work, press MCACC, turn off the power, and check the problem indicated by the Error message, then try the Auto MCACC setup again. 4If Complete doesn’t appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again. 5 See Listening with MCACC Effect on page 32 to switch on/off MCACC Effect. RECEIVER

• Vir.SB Off – Virtual Surround Back mode is switched off 4 Press to exit. LFE Attenuate Some Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra- low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultra- low bass tones from distorting the sound from the speakers. The LFE is not limited when set to 0dB, which is the recommended value. When set to -5dB, -10dB, -15dB or -20dB, the LFE is limited by the respective degree. When Off is selected, no sound is output from the LFE channel. 1 Open the ‘Sound Setup’ menu. 2 Select ‘LFE ATT’, then press ENTER. 3 Adjust the setting then press ENTER to confirm. Adjusting the channel levels using the test tone If you prefer, you can set the channel levels using a test tone as a reference, rather than playing a source (see Channel level setting on page 35). A test tone is played through each speaker in turn, allowing you to adjust the level as it plays. You can also adjust the channel levels for surround sound using test tone. 1 Carry out tone testing. The test tone is output from each speaker in turn. Adjust the volume level below 50. 2 Adjust the channel level of a tune while it is playing. The aim is to adjust the levels so that you hear the test tone at the same volume from each speaker. You can adjust the level of each channel by ±10 dB.

• You can adjust the overall volume of test tone output using the VOL +/– buttons (this does not affect the channel level settings).

• Because of the ultra low frequencies the subwoofer produces, it may sound quieter than it really is. We suggest adjusting the subwoofer level while listening to a source. See the method described in Channel level setting on page 35. 3 Press to exit test tone setup once you have finished.

• If you use the Auto MCACC feature again, it will overwrite the settings you have made here. Note 1 Depending on the input signal and the listening mode, the Virtual Surround Back mode may not be effective.

Don’t... Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near radiators and other heat-generating appliances. Place on a window sill or other place where the system will be exposed to direct sunlight. Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment. Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo system that becomes hot in use. Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference — especially if the television uses an indoor antenna. Use in a kitchen or other room where the system may be exposed to smoke or steam. Use on a thick rug or carpet, or cover with cloth — this may prevent proper cooling of the system unit. Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all four of the system unit’s feet.Manufacturer Code(s)Admiral 003, 004, 005AOC 012Bell&Howell 013, 014Brocsonic 020, 021Craig 024, 025, 026, 027Croslex 028Curtis Mathis 029, 030, 031Daewoo 032, 033, 034Daytron 038Emerson 041, 042, 043, 044, 045, 046, 047Fisher 052Funai 058, 059GE 061, 062, 063, 064, 065Goldstar 066, 067, 068, 069Hitachi 077, 078, 079, 080JC Penny 088, 089, 090, 091JVC 092, 096KTV 099, 100, 101LXI 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111Magnavox 112, 113, 114, 115Mitsubishi 120, 121, 122NEC 128, 129Panasonic 143, 144, 145Philco 151, 152, 153Philips 154Portland 158, 159Proscan 160Quasar 161, 162Radio Shack 164, 165, 166, 167RCA 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175Samsung 181, 182, 183, 184, 187Sanyo 189, 191, 192, 193, 194Scott 203, 204Sharp 205, 206, 207, 209Signature 213, 214Sony 215Sylvania 217, 218, 219Symphonic 220Toshiba 229, 230Videch 236, 237, 238Wards 240, 241, 242, 243Yamaha 245, 246, 247, 248, 249Zenith 250, 251PIONEER 001, 002 HTS-LX70_En.book Page 50 Wednesday, August 8, 2007 4:44 PMAdditional information

English Surround sound formats Below is a brief description of the main surround sound formats you’ll find on DVDs, satellite, cable and terrestrial broadcasts, and video cassettes. Dolby The Dolby technologies are explained below. See www.dolby.com for more detailed information. Dolby Digital Dolby Digital is a multichannel digital audio coding system widely used in cinemas, and in the home for DVD and digital broadcast soundtracks. It can deliver up to six discrete audio channels, comprising five full range channels and a special LFE (low frequency effects) channel used mainly for deep, rumbling sound effects; hence the term “5.1-channel” Dolby Digital. In addition to the format features above, Dolby Digital decoders offer downmixing for compatibility with mono, stereo and Dolby Pro Logic audio from a number of bit rates and channels. Another feature, called Dialog Normalization, attenuates programs based on the average level of dialog in a program relative to its peak level (also known as Dialnorm) in order to achieve uniform playback level. Dolby Pro Logic II and Dolby Surround Dolby Pro Logic IIx is an improved version of the Dolby Pro Logic II (and Dolby Pro Logic) decoding system. Using the innovative “steering logic” circuit, this system extracts surround sound from sources as follows:

• Dolby Pro Logic – 4.1 channel sound (mono surround) from any stereo source

• Dolby Pro Logic II – 5.1 channel sound (stereo surround) from any stereo source With two channel sources, the “.1” subwoofer channel is generated by bass management in the receiver. Dolby Surround is an encoding system which embeds surround sound information within a stereo soundtrack, which a Dolby Pro Logic decoder can then use for enhanced surround listening with greater sound detail. Dolby Digital Plus Dolby Digital Plus is the next-generation audio technology for all high-definition programming and media. It combines the efficiency to meet future broadcast demands with the power and flexibility to realize the full audio potential expected in the upcoming high-definition era. Built on Dolby Digital, the multi-channel audio standard for DVD and HD broadcasts worldwide, Dolby Digital Plus was designed for the next-generation A/V receivers but remains fully compatible with all current A/V receivers. Dolby Digital Plus delivers multi-channel audio programs of up to 7.1 channels (*) and supports multiple programs in a single encoded bitstream with the maximum bit rate potential of up to 6 Mbps and the maximum bit rate performance of up to 3 Mbps on HD DVD and 1.7 Mbps on Blu-ray Disc, and it outputs Dolby Digital bitstreams for playback on existing Dolby Digital systems. Dolby Digital Plus can accurately reproduce the sound originally intended by directors and producers. It also features multi-channel sound with discrete channel output, interactive mixing and streaming capability in advanced systems. Supported by High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI), a single-cable digital connection is possible for high-definition audio and video. Dolby TrueHD Dolby TrueHD is the next-generation lossless encoding technology developed for high-definition optical discs in the upcoming era. Dolby TrueHD delivers tantalizing sound that is bit-for-bit identical to the studio master, unlocking the true high-definition entertainment experience on high-definition optical discs in the next generation. When coupled with high-definition video, Dolby TrueHD offers an unprecedented home theater experience with stunning sound and high- definition picture. It supports bit rates of up to 18 Mbps and records up to 8 full- range channels (*) individually with 24-bit/96 kHz audio. It also features extensive metadata including dialogue normalization and dynamic range control. Supported by High-Definition Media Interface (HDMI), a single-cable digital connection is possible for high-definition audio and video.

• HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc standards currently limit their maximum number of audio channels to eight, whereas Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby TrueHD support more than eight audio channels.

DTS Digital Surround DTS Digital Surround is a 5.1-channel audio coding system from DTS Inc. now widely used for DVD-Video, DVD-Audio,

5.1 music discs, digital broadcasts, and video games. It can

deliver up to six discrete audio channels, comprising five full range channels, including an LFE channel. Higher sound quality is achieved through the use of a low compression rate, and high rates of transmittance during playback. DTS-ES DTS-ES (the ES stands for Extended Surround) is a decoder that is capable of decoding both DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 encoded sources. DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 gives ‘true’ 6.1 channel sound, with a completely separate (discrete) surround back channel. DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 has a surround back channel matrixed into the surround left/right channels. Both sources are also compatible with a conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder. DTS Neo:6 DTS Neo:6 can generate 6.1 channel surround sound from any matrixed stereo source (such as video or TV) and from 5.1 channel sources. It uses both the channel information already encoded into the source, as well as its own processing to determine channel localization (with two channel sources, the “.1” subwoofer channel is generated by bass management in the receiver). Two modes (Cinema and Music) are available using DTS Neo:6 with two channel sources. DTS 96/24 DTS 96/24 is an extension of the original DTS Digital Surround which offers high quality 96 kHz/24-bit audio using a DTS 96/24 decoder. This format is also fully backward compatible with all existing decoders. This means that DVD players can play this software using a conventional DTS 5.1 channel decoder. DTS-EXPRESS DTS-EXPRESS is a low-bitrate encoding technology supporting up to 5.1 channels with fixed data transfer rates. This format is incorporated with sub audio on HD DVD and secondary audio on Blu-ray Disc while boasting the potential applicability to upcoming broadcasts and memory audio contents. DTS-HD Master Audio DTS-HD Master Audio is a technology that delivers master audio sources recorded in a professional studio to listeners without any loss of data, preserving audio quality. DTS-HD Master Audio adopts variable data transfer rates, facilitating data transfer to the maximum rate of 24.5 Mbps in the Blu-ray disc format, 18.0 Mbps in the HD-DVD format, which by far exceeds that of a standard DVD. These high data transfer rates enable lossless transmission of 96 kHz/24-bit 7.1-channel audio sources without deteriorating the quality of the original sound. DTS-HD Master Audio is an irreplaceable technology that can reproduce sound faithfully as intended by the creator of music or movies. “DTS” is a registered trademark of DTS, Inc. and “DTS-HD Master Audio” is a trademark of DTS, Inc.
