Frequently Asked Questions - HTP-LX70 PIONEER

How do I set up the speakers for optimal surround sound?

You can choose between Standard surround setup (rear speakers behind) or Front surround setup (speakers in front). Attach the supplied speaker bases and non-skid pads. Connect the speakers using the color-coded cables to the receiver subwoofer. After placement, run the Auto MCACC setup to calibrate.

How do I run the Auto MCACC setup?

1. Connect the supplied microphone to the MCACC SETUP MIC jack on the display unit. 2. Place the microphone at your listening position (ear height). 3. Press MCACC on the remote. The system outputs test tones and automatically adjusts speaker levels, distances, and equalization. Keep quiet during the process. Once complete, MCACC Effect is activated.

How can I connect my iPod to this system?

Connect your iPod using the supplied iPod cable to the iPod input on the display unit. The input automatically switches to iPod. You can control playback via the iPod itself or the remote control.

What should I do if there is no sound?

Check that the correct input is selected. Ensure the volume is not muted (press MUTE). Verify speaker connections are secure. If using HDMI, set HDMI Mode to AMP Mode (not Through Mode). For external components, confirm they are powered on and the audio cable is connected properly.

How do I use the HDMI Control function?

Connect the system to an HDMI Control-compatible Pioneer plasma TV via HDMI. In the setup menu, set HDMI Control to On. You can then control the system from the TV remote, and the TV will automatically switch inputs when you select a source on the receiver.

How can I improve poor FM or AM reception?

For FM, fully extend the supplied wire antenna or connect an outdoor FM antenna. You can also switch to mono mode (press SETUP > Tuner Setup > FM Auto/Mono > FM Mono). For AM, adjust the position and direction of the loop antenna, keep it away from other electronics, and try changing the Noise Cut mode (1, 2, or 3).

What does the Sound Retriever feature do?

The Sound Retriever restores CD-quality sound to compressed audio sources like MP3 or WMA. It uses DSP to smooth artifacts and restore sound pressure. Press SOUND RTRV on the remote while listening to a stereo source to toggle it on or off.

How do I reset the system to factory defaults?

Press the SETUP button, select System Setup, then choose Reset. Confirm with ENTER. The system will reset all settings to factory defaults. Alternatively, you can unplug the power cord, wait a minute, then plug it back in.

Can I use the remote control to operate other Pioneer components?

Yes, the remote can control Pioneer plasma TVs, DVD players, Blu-ray disc players, and HDD/DVD recorders. Press the appropriate input button (e.g., TV, BD, DVD) and the LCD touch screen will show relevant controls. You may need to set up the TV preset codes first (see manual).

How do I clean the speakers and receiver subwoofer?

Use the provided cleaning cloth to wipe the cabinet. Do not use alcohol, thinner, benzene, or insecticides as they may discolor the finish. For the speaker grilles, gently dust with a soft cloth. Avoid touching the grille forcibly as it cannot be removed.

Speaker Setup Guide

Safety precautions when setting up

When assembling the speakers, lay them down flat on their side to avoid accidents or injury. Make sure to use a stable surface when assembling, setting up, and placing the speakers.

Home theater sound setup

Depending on the size and characteristics of your room, you can place your speakers in one of two ways using this system.

Standard surround setup

This is a standard multichannel surround sound speaker setup for optimal 5.1 channel home theater sound.

Front surround setup

This setup is ideal when rear surround speaker placement isn't possible or you want to avoid running long speaker cables in your listening area. Use this setup together with the Front Stage Surround Advance modes in page 26.

Preparing the speakers

This unit comes with speaker bases that can be used to adjust the speakers to the design of the room in which they are placed.

Using the supplied speaker bases

1 Attach the non-skid pads to the speaker bases, as shown below.

Use the adhesive side of the pads to attach them to the base of each speaker base.

2 Attach the speaker bases.

Place the speaker atop a supplied speaker base, and fix the base in place by using one of the supplied screws.

- The supplied speaker bases come in two different shapes. 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.

Front/center and surround speakers

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 23) 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 1.5 m 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.

Important

- RCV 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. ¹

Important

• 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.

RECEIVER

3 If the receiver subwoofer is off, press ⏻ RECEIVER to turn the power on.

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 ² , 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 ³ .

When the MCACC setup is complete, the volume level returns to normal, Complete ⁴ shows in the display, and MCACC Effect is activated. ⁵

- 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).
2 • If the room environment is not optimal for the Auto MCACC setup (too much ambient 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.
- 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.
4 If Complete doesn't appear, it is likely an error occurred during the setup. Please check all connections and try again.

The test tone is output from each speaker in turn. *Adjust the volume level below 50.

3

Select a setting.

Select one of the following:

• Vir.SB On – Virtual Surround Back is always used (for example, on 5.1 encoded material)
• Vir.SB Auto – Virtual Surround Back is automatically applied to 6.1 encoded sources (for example, Dolby Digital EX or DTS-ES), DTS Neo:6 or Advanced Surround mode
• Vir.SB Off – Virtual Surround Back mode is switched off

4

Press to exit.

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 30.

LFE Attenuate

Some Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include ultra-low bass tones.

Set the LFE attenuator as necessary to prevent the ultralow 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.

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.

Master Audio

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.

Sometimes the trouble may lie in another component. Investigate the other components and electrical appliances being used. If the trouble cannot be rectified even after exercising the checks listed below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer to carry out repair work.

• If the system does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity disconnect the plug from the outlet and insert again to return to normal operating conditions.
• For audio-related problems, please also check the settings of the audio playback device. See the operating instructions for the device for detailed information.

General

Problem	Remedy
The power does not turn on, or switches off suddenly (an error message may be displayed at startup). Or, the display disappears suddenly and no sound is output (with the POWER ON indicator (Blue) and the HDMI indicator (Red) lit up).	Leave the unit plugged in, wait for one minute, then switch back on.Make sure there are no loose strands of wire touching the unit. This could cause the system to shut off automatically.Check that the speakers are connected correctly.Make sure there is enough space for ventilation around the receiver subwoofer.Make sure the voltage of the mains power source is correct for the model.Try reducing the volume level.If the problem persists, take it to your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or your dealer for servicing.Do not block the air intake opening on the bottom as well as the air exhaust opening on the back of this unit.
No sound is output when an input function is selected.	If you're using the line input, make sure the component is connected correctly and the volume level of your external component (i.e. a portable player, etc.) is adjusted (see Connecting auxiliary components on page 33).Turn up the volume.No audio is output from the speakers connected to this unit if HDMI Mode is set to Through Mode(page 36).No audio is output if a DVI component is connected via HDMI.Press MUTEon the remote control to turn muting off.
No sound from surround speaker.	Refer to Channel level setting on page 30 to check the speaker levels.Check that you haven't selected the Stereo mode (see Listening in surround sound on page 24).Connect the speakers properly (refer to Connecting up on page 8).Verify the audio output and HDMI settings of your external component when connecting an external component via an optical digital cable or HDMI cable.
Can't operate using the remote control.	Replace the batteries (Putting the batteries in the remote control on page 21).Operate within 7 m, 30° of the remote sensor (Using the remote control on page 22).Remove any obstacles or operate from another position.Avoid exposing the remote sensor on the front panel to direct light.For operating the other Pioneer component connected to the CONTROL OUTjack of this receiver subwoofer, make sure that the control cable and either an HDMI or analog audio cable are connected (page 35).

Tuner

Problem	Remedy
Considerable noise in radio broadcasts.	Connect the AM antenna (refer to Connecting up on page 8) and adjust the direction and position for best reception. You may also connect an additional internal or external AM antenna (refer to Connecting external antennas on page 35).Fully extend the FM wire antenna, position for best reception, and secure to a wall. You may also connect an outdoor FM antenna (see Connecting external antennas on page 35).Turn off other equipment that may be causing the noise or move it further away.The tuning interval is incorrect for your country or region. See Changing the frequency step on page 29 to switch the tuning interval.
Auto tuning does not pick up some stations.	The radio signal is weak. Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a good signal. For more sensitive tuning, connect an outdoor antenna.

HDMI

Symptom	Remedy
No picture or sound. • This receiver is HDCP-compatible. Check that the components you are connecting are also HDCP-compatible.• Depending on the connected source component, it's possible that it will not work with this receiver (even if it is HDCP-compatible).• If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your monitor, please consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for support.
No sound, or sound suddenly ceases.	• Check that the HDMI Mode setting is set to AMP Mode/Through Mode.• If the component is a DVI device, use a separate connection for the audio.• Check the audio output settings of the source component.
