Chapter 2:

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 the speakers you have set up in your room, but
also on the source and the sound settings of the receiver.

Deutsch

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 36.

Français

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’.

Italiano

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.

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 the AC power source.
1 Hook up your DVD player.
For surround sound, you’ll want to hook up using a digital connection from the DVD player to
the receiver. You can do this with either a coaxial, or an optical connection (you don’t need to
connect both). If you hook up using an optical cable, you should refer to Digital input settings
on page 50 to assign the optical input to DVD.
Use a video cord to connect the video output on your DVD player to the receiver using the jacks
shown below.
2 Hook up your TV.

Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left
to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative ( +/–) terminals on the receiver
match those on the speakers. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16 Ω
(please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use speakers with an
impedance of less than 8Ω).

English

3 Connect your speakers.
A complete setup of speakers is shown here (six speakers for the VSX-D514/D714, and eight for
the VSX-D814), but different home setups may vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in
the manner shown below. 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.

• Before making or changing any
connections, switch off the power and
disconnect the power cord from the AC
outlet.

Audio/Video cords
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to
connect the audio/video components and a
video cord to connect the monitor TV.

Use component video cords to get the best
possible color reproduction of your video
source. The color signal of the TV is divided
into the luminance (Y) signal and the color
(PB and PR) signals and then output. In this
way, interference between the signals is
avoided. Connect from the component video
jacks on the rear of the receiver to the component video jacks on the video component you
are hooking up.

Connect red plugs to R (right), white plugs to
L (left), and the yellow plugs to VIDEO.

Connecting up

The easiest way to hook up this receiver for surround sound is to use a digital input. You can do
this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not need to do both). The quality of these
two types of connections is the same but since some digital components only have one type of
digital terminal, it is a matter of matching like with like (for example, the coaxial output from the
component to coaxial input on the receiver).

• VSX-D714/D814 only – There is one digital output jack which is marked DIGITAL OUT. If you
connect this to the optical input on a digital recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and
CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.

• The arrows indicate the direction of the digital audio signal.

Connecting up

• If you have an LD player, you need to make special connections to ensure you can play 2
RF format LDs on your system. If this is the case, hook up your DVD or LD player directly to
an RF demodulator using both the 2 RF output and either a coaxial or optical digital
connection. We also recommend hooking up your digital components to analog audio jacks
as well. Make sure the RF demodulator digital in switch is set correctly (optical or coaxial
depending on the connection). See the component's instruction manual if you are unsure
about its input and output jacks.

Connecting audio components
To begin set up, connect your analog audio components (such as a cassette deck) to the jacks.
For components you want to record with, you need to hook up four plugs to the receiver (a set
of stereo inputs and a set of stereo outputs), but for components that only play, you only need
to hook up one set of stereo plugs. You must also hook up your digital components to analog
audio jacks if you want to record to/from digital components (like an MD) to/from analog
components. See page 15 for more on digital connections.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord
is disconnected from the AC outlet.
• The arrows indicate the direction of the audio signal.

Connecting up

Connecting video components
Connect your video components to the jacks as shown below. With digital video components
(like a DVD player), you must use the connections shown on this page for the video signal, but
in order to hear a digital source (like a DVD) you should hook up the audio to a digital input (see
page 15). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio
connections (see page 16).
For better quality video, you can hook up using the component video jacks or the S-video jacks
(quality descends in this order) on the rear of the receiver instead of the regular video jacks.
Make sure they are connected to the video component using the same kind of connection.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord
is disconnected from the AC outlet.

Connecting the speakers (VSX-D514/D714)
A complete setup of six speakers (including the subwoofer) is shown below, but everyone’s
home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner shown below. 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. If you’re not using a
subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 46) to large.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left
to the left terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative ( +/–) terminals on the receiver
match those on the speakers. You can use speakers with a nominal impedance between 6–16 Ω
(please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use speakers with an
impedance of less than 8Ω).

Connecting up

A and B speaker systems
VSX-D714/D814 only
• When using the speaker on your TV as the
center speaker (C), connect the CENTER
PREOUT jack on this unit to the audio
input jack on your TV. In this case the
center speaker shown is unnecessary.
• If you are using only one surround back
speaker, connect the positive wire to the
right channel (+) terminal, and the
negative wire to the left channel (–)
terminal (see illustration on page 11).
• If you select subwoofer (SB SW) in the
Surround back speaker setting on page 46
you can hook up a subwoofer instead of
speakers to the surround back speaker
terminals. Connect the positive wire to the
right channel (+) terminal, and the
negative wire to the left channel (–)
terminal (see illustration on page 11).

Speaker terminals

Twist exposed wire strands together.

2 Loosen speaker terminal and insert
exposed wire.
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 is touching the back panel when you
switch the unit on, the power may cut off as a
safety measure. Use good quality speaker
wire to connect the speakers to the receiver.

En

Tighten terminal.

The receiver has two speaker systems: A and
B. A is the main system supporting the full
speaker setup. If you switch on both A and B
speaker systems, only the front speakers and
the (active) subwoofer will be audible. No
sound will come from the center, surround, or
surround back speakers, but multichannel
sources will be down-mixed to the active
speakers so no sound will be lost. Similarly, if
you choose just the B system you‘ll only hear
the front speakers connected to the B system
and multi channel sources will be downmixed to these two speakers.
• Press the SPEAKERS button on the
front panel to switch between speaker
systems (A, B or both).

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.

VSX_514-814.fm 23 ページ ２００４年３月２日 火曜日 午後８時３５分

• If possible, place the surround speakers
slightly above ear level.

• To achieve the best possible surround

• 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.

Italiano

• 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.

• VSX-D714 only – If you connect to a
surround back speaker, make sure the
Surround back speaker setting on page 46
is switched on and set to the proper
speaker size.

By connecting a control cord (optional), you
can point the remote controls of other Pioneer

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.

Crossover frequency is the point where the
receiver divides the high and low sounds (the
frequencies) between the speakers. Since
most smaller speakers can’t handle deep
bass tones, you can send these sounds to the
subwoofer (or if you don’t have a subwoofer,
the large (L) speakers in your system) instead
of the speakers set to small (S) in your setup.
Choose the point at which you want the
frequency routed to the subwoofer (or L

Dolby Digital and DTS audio sources include
ultra-low bass tones. Set the LFE attenuator

You can use the Multichannel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system to fine tune your
speaker levels and channel delay. These are
calibrated according to the distance from
your left front speaker to the listening position. You will hear a series of test tones that
will allow you to set the speaker levels and
channel delay to your liking. The advantage of
doing this is that you can achieve an overall
balance defined by the front speakers (the
main speakers for home theater).

• These test tones can be loud, so take care
that there is no one in the room who will
be startled by the noise.

Chapter 7:

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 57 for more on how 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.

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 unit 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 56) is also stored. Use
