GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION

• If this product is equipped with a polarized

alternating current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other), it will fit into the

outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If

you are unable to insert the plug fully into the

outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should

still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace

your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

• If this product is equipped with a three-wire

grounding type plug, a plug having a third

(grounding) pin, it will only fit into a grounding

type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you

are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,

contact your electrician to replace your obsolete

outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the

grounding type plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION — Power-supply

cords should be routed so that they are not likely

to be walked on or pinched by items placed

upon or against them, paying particular

attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from

the product.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING — If an

outside antenna or cable system is connected to

the product, be sure the antenna or cable

system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built-up

static charges. Article 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides

information with regard to proper grounding of

the mast and supporting structure, grounding of

the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,

size of grounding conductors, location of

antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode. See Figure A.

LIGHTNING — For added protection for this

product during a lightning storm, or when it is

left unattended and unused for long periods of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna or cable system. This

will prevent damage to the product due to

lightning and power-line surges.

POWER LINES — An outside antenna system

should not be located in the vicinity of overhead

power lines or other electric light or power

circuits, or where it can fall into such power

lines or circuits. When installing an outside

antenna system, extreme care should be taken

to keep from touching such power lines or

circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING — Do not overload wall outlets,

extension cords, or integral convenience

receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or

electric shock.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY — Never push

objects of any kind into this product through

openings as they may touch dangerous voltage

points or short-out parts that could result in a

fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any

kind on the product.

SERVICING — Do not attempt to service this

product yourself as opening or removing covers

may expose you to dangerous voltage or other

hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service

personnel.

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE — Unplug this

product from the wall outlet and refer servicing

to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:

• When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen

into the product.

• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the product does not operate normally by

following the operating instructions. Adjust only

those controls that are covered by the operating

instructions as an improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician

to restore the product to its normal operation.

• If the product has been dropped or damaged in

any way.

• When the product exhibits a distinct change in

performance — this indicates a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS — When replacement parts

are required, be sure the service technician has

used replacement parts specified by the

manufacturer or have the same characteristics

as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions

may result in fire, electric shock, or other

hazards.

SAFETY CHECK — Upon completion of any service

or repairs to this product, ask the service

technician to perform safety checks to

determine that the product is in proper

operating condition.

Features

• Advanced Direct Energy design

This receiver offers a new advancement in discrete

design unique to Pioneer for high-power drivability, low

distortion and stable imaging. Through symmetrical

placement of power amplification units, this receiver

generates equal amplifier power to all channels,

eliminating the possibility of one channel dominating a

particular sound field.

• Easy setup using Multichannel Acoustic

Calibration (MCACC)

Setting up for home theater sound is as easy as

connecting your speakers, a DVD player or other source,

and your TV. The Auto Surround Setup provides a quick

but accurate surround sound setup, while for complete

surround sound control you still have access to the full

range of surround sound settings.

• THX Select2 certified design

This receiver bears the THX Select2 logo, which means it

has passed a rigorous series of quality and performance

tests covering every aspect of the product. This includes

5 minute guide

Introduction to home theater

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 your speaker setup, but also on the

source and the sound settings of the receiver.

This receiver will automatically decode multichannel

Dolby Digital, DTS, or Dolby Surround sources 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 26.

Listening to Surround Sound

This receiver was designed with the easiest possible

setup in mind, so with the following quick setup guide,

you should have your system hooked up for surround

sound in no time at all. In most cases, you can simply

leave the receiver in the default settings.

• Be sure to complete all connections before

connecting this unit to an AC power source.

1 Connect your TV and DVD player.

See

Connecting your TV and DVD player

on page 13 to do

this. For surround sound, you’ll want to hook up using a

digital connection from the DVD player to the receiver.

2 Connect your speakers and place them for optimal

surround sound.

Connect your speakers as shown in

Installing your

speaker system

on page 17.

Where you place the speakers will have a big effect on the

sound. Place your speakers as shown below for the best

surround sound effect. Also see

Placing the speakers

page 18 for more on this.

3 Plug in the receiver and switch it on, followed by

your DVD player, your subwoofer and the TV.

Make sure you’ve set the video input on your TV to this

receiver. Check the manual that came with the TV if you

don’t know how to do this.

• Set the subwoofer volume to a comfortable level.

4Use the on-screen automatic MCACC setup to set up

your system.

See

Automatically setting up for surround sound

(MCACC)

below for more on this.

5 Play a DVD, and adjust the volume to your liking.

Make sure that

DVD/LD

is showing in the receiver’s

display, indicating that the DVD input is selected. If it

isn’t, press

DVD

on the remote control to set the receiver

to the DVD input.

In addition to the basic playback explained in

Playing a

source

on page 10, there are several other sound options

you can select. See

Listening to your system

on page 26

for more on this.

See also

Making receiver settings from the System Setup

on page 33 for more setup options.

Automatically setting up for surround

sound (MCACC)

The Auto MCACC Setup measures the acoustic

characteristics of your listening area, taking into account

ambient noise, speaker size and distance, and tests for

both channel delay and channel level. After you have set

up the microphone provided with your system, the

receiver uses the information from a series of test tones

to optimize the speaker settings and equalization for your

particular room.

Make sure you do this before moving on to

Playing a

source

on page 10.

Important

• Make sure the microphone and speakers are not

moved during the Auto MCACC Setup.

• Before using the Auto MCACC Setup the

headphones should be disconnected.

Caution

• The test tones used in the Auto MCACC Setup are

output at high volume.

8 Make sure ‘OK’ is selected, then press

ENTER

A progress report is displayed on-screen while the

receiver outputs more test tones to determine the

optimum receiver settings for channel level, speaker

distance, and Acoustic Calibration EQ.

Again, try to be as quiet as possible while this is

happening. It may take 3 to 8 minutes.

9 The Auto MCACC Setup has finished! Select

‘SKIP’ to go back to the System Setup menu.

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

System Setup menu (starting on page 33).

Note

1• If you cancel the Auto MCACC Setup, or leave an error message for over three minutes, the screen saver will appear.

• The OSD will not appear if you have connected using the HDMI output to your TV. Use component, S-video, or composite connections for system setup.

2 You can’t use the System Setup menu when the XM Radio input source is selected.

3• If you are planning on bi-amping your front speakers, or setting up a separate speaker system in another room, read through

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.

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

and subwoofer (if you

have one), then the receiver (press



RECEIVER

• Make sure the setup mic is disconnected.

2 Select the input source you want to play.

You can use the input source buttons on the remote

control,

INPUT SELECT

, or the front panel controls.

3 Press

AUTO SURR

to select ‘AUTO SURROUND’ and

start playback of the source.

If you’re 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 26 for

information on different ways of listening to sources.

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.

Better sound using Basic Phase Control

This receiver’s Basic 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 (see

illustration below).

Phase Control technology provides coherent sound

reproduction through the use of phase matching

for an

optimal sound image at your listening position. The

default setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase

Control switched on for all sound sources.

• Press

RECEIVER

then PHASE (

PHASE CONTROL

) to

switch on phase correction.

The

PHASE CONTROL

indicator on the front panel lights.

Note

1 Make sure that the TV’s video input is set to this receiver. (For example, if you connected this receiver to the

VIDEO 1

jacks on your TV, make sure that

the

VIDEO 1

input is now selected.)

2 If you need to manually switch the input signal type press

SIGNAL SEL

(page 29).

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 26 if you need to do this) if you want multichannel surround sound.

4 Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are 'in phase', they crest and trough together, re-

sulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough (as shown in the upper section of the diagram

above) then the sound will be 'out of phase' and an unreliable sound image will be produced.

Connecting your equipment

2Connect an optical-type

digital audio output from

your set-top box to the OPTICAL 2 (TV/SAT) input.

Use an optical cable for the connection.

Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR

and other video sources

This receiver has two sets of audio/video inputs and

outputs suitable for connecting analog or digital video

devices, including DVD/HDD recorders and VCRs.

1 Connect the audio/video outputs of the video

player/recorder to the DVR/VCR1 AUDIO and VIDEO

inputs.

Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the audio

connection and a video or S-video cable for the video

connection.

• For a second recorder, use the

DVR/

VCR2 IN

inputs.

2 If the device can record, connect the DVR/VCR1

AUDIO and VIDEO outputs to the recorder’s audio/

video inputs.

Use a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable for the audio

connection and a video or S-video cable for the video

connection.

• For a second recorder, use the

DVR/

VCR2

outputs.

3 If the device can output digital audio, connect an

optical-type

About the WMA9 Pro decoder

This unit has an on-board Windows Media

Audio 9

Professional

(WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to

playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using a coaxial or

optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9

Pro-compatible player. However, the connected PC, DVD

player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro

format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital

output.

Connecting analog audio sources

This receiver features two stereo audio-only inputs. One

of these inputs (

CD-R/TAPE/MD

) has corresponding

outputs for use with audio recorders.

• Connect the analog audio outputs of the source

component to one of the AUDIO inputs.

Connect using a stereo RCA/phono jack audio cable.

• If you’re connecting a tape deck, MD recorder, etc.,

connect the analog audio outputs (

OUT

) to the

analog audio inputs on the recorder.

Connecting a component to the front

panel inputs

The front panel inputs comprise a composite video jack

(

VIDEO

), an S-Video jack (

S-VIDEO

), stereo analog audio

inputs (

AUDIO L/R

) and an optical digital audio input

(

DIGITAL

). You can use these connections for any kind of

audio/video component, but they are especially

convenient for portable equipment such as camcorders,

video games and portable audio/video equipment.

Connecting your equipment 03

Installing your speaker system

To take full advantage of the receiver’s surround sound

capabilities connect front, center, surround and

surround back speakers, as well as a subwoofer.

Although this is ideal, other configurations with fewer

speakers—no subwoofer or no center speaker, or even

no surround speakers—will work. 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). You can use speakers with a

nominal impedance between 6

Ω

to 16

Ω

(please see

Switching the speaker impedance

on page 50 if you plan

to use speakers with an impedance of less than 8

Ω

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

• 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.

VSX-1016TXV_KU.book.fm 17 ページ２００６年３月２４日　金曜日　午後９時１９分

Connecting your equipment

Bare wire connections

Make sure that the speaker cable you’re going to use is

properly prepared with about

in. of insulator stripped

from each wire, and the exposed wire strands twisted

together (

fig. A

To connect a terminal, unscrew the terminal a few turns

until there is enough space to insert the exposed wire

(

fig. B

). Once the wire is in position, tighten the terminal

until the wire is firmly clamped (

fig. C

Banana plug connections

If you want to use speaker cables terminated with banana

plugs, screw the speaker terminal fully shut then plug the

banana plug into the end of the speaker terminal.

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.

•

Other connections

on page 40 provides greater detail

on alternate speaker setups, such as using speaker

system B (page 42), bi-amping (page 43) and bi-

wiring (page 44).

• If you are using a THX certified subwoofer use the

THX INPUT

jack on the subwoofer (if your subwoofer

has one) or switch the filter position to

THX

on your

subwoofer.

Placing the speakers

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

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

6 ft. to 9 ft. apart, at equal distance 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.

• 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 a foot-and-a-half to three feet higher than

your ears and titled 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.

• 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.

• To achieve the best possible surround sound, install

your speakers as shown below. Be sure all speakers

are installed securely to prevent accidents and

improve sound quality.

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.

Connecting your equipment 03

The diagrams below show suggested surround and

surround back speaker orientation. The first diagram (fig.

A) shows orientation with one surround back speaker (or

none) connected. The second (fig. B) shows orientation

with two surround back speakers connected.

• If you have two surround back speakers THX

recommends placing them together and the same

distance from your listening position (see below).

THX speaker system setup

If you have a complete THX speaker system, follow the

diagram below to place your speakers. Note that the

surround speakers ( indicates bi-polar radiating

speakers) should output at an angle parallel to the

listener.

• If you have two surround back speakers THX

recommends placing them together and the same

distance from your listening position for the following

THX modes: THX Select2 CINEMA, THX

MUSICMODE and THX GAMES MODE.

Connecting antennas

Connect the AM loop antenna and the FM wire antenna

as shown below. To improve reception and sound quality,

connect external antennas (see Connecting external

antennas below).

1 Pull off the protective shields of both AM antenna

wires.

2 Push open the tabs, then insert one wire fully into

each terminal, then release the tabs to secure the AM

antenna wires.

3 Fix the AM loop antenna to the attached stand.

To fix the stand to the antenna, bend in the direction

indicated by the arrow (fig. a) then clip the loop onto the

stand (fig. b).

•If you plan to mount the AM antenna to a wall or other

surface, secure the stand with screws (fig. c) before

clipping the loop to the stand. Make sure the

reception is clear.

4 Place the AM antenna on a flat surface and in a

direction giving the best reception.

5 Connect the FM wire antenna in the same way as

the AM loop antenna.

For best results, extend the FM antenna fully and fix to a

wall or door frame. Don’t drape loosely or leave coiled up.

disconnecting the supplied AM loop antenna.

For the best possible reception, suspend horizontally

outdoors.

Plugging in the

receiver

Only plug in after you have connected all your

components to this receiver, including the speakers.

Caution

• Handle the power cord by the plug part. 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 electric shock. Do not place

the unit, a piece of furniture, or other object on the

power cord or pinch the cord in any other way. Never

make a knot in the cord or tie it with other cables. The

power cords should be routed so that they are not

likely to be stepped on. A damaged power cord can

cause a fire or give you an electric shock. Check the

power cord once in a while. If you find it damaged,

ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent

service company for a replacement.

•The receiver should be disconnected by removing the

mains plug from the wall socket when not in regular

use, e.g., when on vacation.

•Make sure the blue



STANDBY/ON

light has gone

out before unplugging.

• Plug the power cord into a power outlet.

AC outlet

Power supplied through this outlet is turned on and off by

the receiver's power switch. Total electrical power

consumption of connected equipment should not exceed

100 W (0.8 A).

Caution

• Do not connect a TV set, monitor, heater, or similar

appliance to this unit's AC outlet.

• Do not connect appliances with high power

consumption to the AC outlet in order to avoid

overheating and fire risk. This can also cause the

receiver to malfunction.

•Since a subwoofer or power amplifier can exceed the

100 W maximum when playing sources at a high

volume, this type of equipment should not be

connected to the AC outlet.

Using the tuner 06

Chapter 6:

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. 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 later—see

Saving

station presets

on page 31 for more on how to do this.

1 Press the

TUNER

button to select the tuner.

2 Use the BAND button 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 stereo sound

If the

TUNED

STEREO

indicators don't light when

tuning to an 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.

Tuning directly to a station

Sometimes, you'll 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.

1 Press the

TUNER

button to select the tuner.

2 Use the BAND button to change the band (FM or

AM), if necessary.

Each press switches the band between FM and AM.

3 Press D.ACCESS (Direct Access).

4 Use the number buttons to enter the frequency of

the radio station.

For example, to tune to

106.00

(FM), press

If you make a mistake halfway through, press

D.ACCESS

twice to cancel the frequency and start over.

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 whenever you want to listen to that station.

This saves the effort of manually tuning in each time. This

receiver 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 page 31) is

also stored.

1 Tune to a station you want to memorize.

See

Listening to the radio

on page 31 for more on this.

2 Press T.EDIT (TUNER EDIT).

The display shows

STATION MEMORY

, then a blinking

memory class.

3 Press CLASS to select one of the three classes then

press ST

/

to select the station preset you want.

You can also use the number buttons to select a station

preset.

4 Press

ENTER

After pressing

ENTER

, the preset class and number stop

blinking and the receiver stores the station.

Fine Speaker Distance

• Default setting:

10.0 ft.

(all channels)

For proper sound depth and separation with your system,

it is necessary to add a slight bit of delay to some

speakers so that all sounds will arrive at the listening

position at the same time. The following setting can help

you make detailed adjustments that you may not achieve

using the

Manual speaker setup

below.

1Select ‘Fine SP Distance’ from the Manual MCACC

setup menu.

The volume increases to the reference level.

2 Adjust the distance of the left channel from the

listening position.

After pressing

ENTER

, test tones will be output.

3 Select each channel in turn and adjust the

distance as necessary.

Use

/

to adjust the delay of the speaker you selected

to match the reference speaker. The delay is measured in

terms of speaker distance from

0.5

45.0

feet.

Listen to the reference speaker and use it to measure the

target channel. From the listening position, face the two

speakers with your arms outstretched pointing at each

speaker. Try to make the two tones sound as if they are

arriving simultaneously at a position slightly in front of

you and between your arm span.

When it sounds like the delay settings are matched up,

press

ENTER

to confirm and continue to the next

channel.

•For comparison purposes, the reference speaker will

change depending on which speaker you select.

• If you want to go back and adjust a channel, simply

use

/

to select it.

4 When you're finished, press RETURN.

You return to the Manual MCACC setup menu.

Acoustic Calibration EQ

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. This provides a ‘flat’

equalization setting. If you’re not satisfied with the

automatic adjustment, you can also adjust these settings

manually to get a frequency balance that suits your tastes.

Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ automatically

If you have already completed

Automatically setting up for

surround sound (MCACC)

on page 8,

ALL CH ADJUST

and

FRONT ALIGN

(below) should already be set.

Therefore, if you want to adjust your settings manually,

you can skip to

Setting the Acoustic Calibration EQ

below.

1Select ‘EQ Auto Setting’ from the Manual MCACC

setup menu.

• Make sure the microphone is connected.

• See

Problems when using the Auto MCACC Setup

page 10 for notes regarding high background noise

levels and other possible interference.

2 Wait for the EQ Auto Setting to finish.

As the receiver outputs test tones, the frequency balance

is adjusted automatically for the following settings:

•

ALL CH ADJUST

– A ‘flat’ setting where all the

speakers are set individually so no special weighting

is given to any one channel.

Note

1 If you can’t seem to achieve this by adjusting the distance setting, you may need to change the angle of your speakers very slightly.

SUB W.

– LFE signals and bass frequencies of

channels set to

SMALL

are output from the subwoofer

when

YES

is selected (see notes below). Choose the

PLUS

setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass

sound continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass

and center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer).

If you did not connect a subwoofer choose

(the

bass frequencies are output from other speakers).

3 When you’re finished, press RETURN.

You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.

Tip

• 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.

Crossover Network

• Default setting:

80Hz

This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds

playing back from the speakers selected as

Using other functions

Making an audio or a video recording

You can make an audio or a video recording from the

built-in tuner, or from an audio or video source

connected to the receiver (such as a CD player or TV).

Keep in mind you can't make a digital recording from an

analog source or vice-versa, so make sure the

components you are recording to/from are hooked up in

the same way (see

Connecting your equipment

page 11 for more on connections).

Since the video converter is not available when making

recordings (from the video

OUT

jacks) make sure to use

the same type of video cable for connecting your recorder

as you used to connect your video source (the one you

want to record) to this receiver. For example, you must

connect your recorder using S-video if your source has

also been connected using S-video.

For more information about video connections, see

Connecting a DVD/HDD recorder, VCR and other video

sources

on page 14.

1 Select the source you want to record.

Use the input source buttons (or

Tune to the radio station, load the CD, video, DVD etc.

3 Prepare the recorder.

Insert a blank tape, MD, video etc. into the recording

device and set the recording levels.

Refer to the instructions that came with the recorder if

you are unsure how to do this. Most video recorders set

the audio recording level automatically—check the

component's instruction manual if you're unsure.

4 Start recording, then start playback of the source

component.

Reducing the level of an analog signal

The input attenuator lowers the input level of an analog

signal when it’s too strong. You can use this if you find

the that the

hear distortion in the sound.

• Press

RECEIVER

then press ANALOG ATT to switch

the input attenuator on or off.

Chapter 11:

Controlling the rest of your system

Setting the remote to control other

components

Most components can be assigned to one of the input

source buttons (such as

DVD/LD

) using the

component’s manufacturer preset code stored in the

remote.

However, 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.

If you can’t find a preset code that matches the

component you want to control, you can still teach the

remote individual commands from another remote

control (see

Programming signals from other remote

controls

below).

Note

• You can cancel or exit any of the steps by pressing

RECEIVER

. To go back a step, press

RETURN

• After one minute of inactivity, the remote

automatically exits the operation.

You can use the direct function feature to control one

component using the remote control while at the same

time, using your receiver to playback a different

component. This could let you, for example, use the

remote control to set up and listen to a CD on the receiver

and then use the remote control to rewind a tape in your

VCR while you continue to listen to your CD player.

When direct function is on, any component you select

(using the input source buttons) will be selected by both

the receiver and the remote control. When you turn direct

function off, you can operate the remote control without

affecting the receiver.1
