You can use the Quick Setup to get your 
system up and running with just a few button 
presses. The receiver automatically makes 
the necessary settings after you have 
selected your room size and listening 
position. 
If you want to make more specific settings, 
refer to The System Setup menu. 
Use the front panel controls for the steps 
below.
1 Press 

2 Press QUICK SETUP.
3 Use the MULTI JOG dial to choose your 
room size.
Depending on the distance of your speakers 
from the listening position, choose between 
small, medium, or large (

S, 

M or L), M being 

an average-sized room.
4 Press ENTER.
5 Use the MULTI JOG dial to choose your 
listening position.
You can cycle between the following choices:

• FWD — If you are nearer to the front 
speakers than the surround speakers
• MID — If you are equal distance from the 
front and surround speakers
• BACK — If you are nearer to the surround 
speakers than the front speakers

6 Press ENTER to confirm your setup.
The display shows the room size and listening 
position that you have selected.

 Important
• Certain features explained in this section will 
not be possible depending on the source (for 
example, PCM 88.2 kHz / 96 kHz, DTS 96 kHz  
(24 bit) or WMA9 Pro sources).

The simplest, most direct listening option is the 
Auto Surround feature. With this, the receiver 
automatically detects what kind of source you're 
playing and selects multichannel or stereo 
playback as necessary.
• While listening to a source, press STEREO 
for auto playback of a source.
Press repeatedly until 

AUTO SURR. shows briefly 

in the display (it will then show the decoding or 
playback format). Check the digital format 
indicators in the display to see how the source is 
being processed. 

• Stereo surround (matrix) formats are decoded 

accordingly using 

2 Pro Logic II MOVIE.

•  The Auto Surround feature is canceled if you 

connect headphones or select the multichannel analog 

inputs.

Using this receiver, you can listen to any source 
in surround sound. However, the options 
available will depend on the type of source you're 
listening to.

Try different settings with various soundtracks to see 
which you like.
• Press ADV.SURR.(ADVANCED SURROUND) 
repeatedly to select a listening mode.

• ADV. MOVIE — Suitable for movie sources.
• ADV. MUSIC — Suitable for music sources.
• TV SURR. — Provides surround sound for both 
mono and stereo TV sources.
• SPORTS — Suitable for sports programs.
• ADV. GAME — Suitable for video games.
• EXPANDED — Simulates multichannel surround 
sound for two-channel sources.
• EX. POWER (Extra Power) — Gives multichannel 
sound to a stereo source, using all of your speakers.
• VIR. SURR — A virtual surround effect using just 
the subwoofer and front speakers.
• PHONESUR. (Phones Surround) — Creates the 
effect of overall surround with headphones.
Note

• 

Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround 

effect (stereo field is wider than Standard modes 
with Dolby Digital sources).

When using surround effects, there are a number of 
settings you can adjust. 
1 Press EFFECT/CH SEL repeatedly to select the 
setting you want to adjust.
Depending on the current status / mode of the 
receiver, certain options may not appear. Check the 
table below for notes on this.
2 Use the LEVEL+/– buttons to set it as necessary.
See the table below for the options available for each 
setting. The defaults, if not stated, are listed in bold.
3 Press EFFECT/CH SEL again to adjust other 
settings.

Selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual 
surround back channel through your surround 
speakers. For example, you can choose to listen to 
sources with no surround back channel information 
(for example, 5.1 encoded material) with emulated 6.1 
encoding (

VSB ON). Sometimes the material may 

sound better in the 5.1 format for which it was 
originally encoded. In this case you can simply switch 
it off (

VSB OFF).

• Press VSB MODE (front panel) to select a virtual 
surround back channel option.
Each press cycles through the options as follows:

• VSB ON — Virtual Surround Back is always used 
(for example, on 5.1 encoded material) 
• VSB OFF — Virtual Surround Back mode is 
switched off
Note

• You can't use the Virtual Surround Back mode with 

headphones or with the 

STEREO / DIRECT mode. 

When you select 

STEREO or DIRECT, you will hear the 

source through just the front left and right speakers 
(and subwoofer). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel 
sources are downmixed to stereo.
• While listening to a source, press STEREO for 
stereo playback.
Press repeatedly to switch between:

• STEREO — The audio is heard with your surround 
settings and you can still use the Midnight, 
Loudness, and tone functions.

• DIRECT — Bypass all effects and surround 
settings so that the audio remains as close to the 
source audio signal as possible.
• AUTO SURR. — See Auto playback above.
Note

• 

DIRECT switches to STEREO when using Midnight, 

Loudness, Dialog Enhancement, or the tone controls.

When audio data is removed during the 
compression process, sound quality often suffers 
from an uneven sound image. The Sound Retriever 
feature employs new DSP technology that helps 
bring CD quality sound back to compressed  
2-channel audio by restoring sound pressure and 
smoothing jagged artifacts left over after 
compression.
• While listening to a source, press S.RETRIEVER.
Press repeatedly to switch between:

• RTRV1 ON — This option is engineered 
especially for portable digital audio players.
• RTRV2 ON — This option is engineered 
especially for portable digital radio devices (only 
applicable when using the 

FRONT AUDIO INPUT).

• OFF — Switches the Sound Retriever off.

Incorrect operations are often mistaken for trouble and malfunctions. If you think that there is something wrong with this component, check 
the points below. Take a look at the other components and electrical appliances being used, because sometimes the problem may lie there. If 
the trouble isn’t sorted out even after going through the checks below, ask your nearest Pioneer authorized independent service company to 
carry out repair work.
Note
If the unit does not operate normally due to external effects such as static electricity, disconnect the power plug from the outlet and insert 
again to return to normal operating conditions.

The following section shows you how to make

mono encoded Dolby Digital soundtracks 
should be played (dual mono is sometimes 
used when two languages need to be sent to 
separate channels).
LFE ATT — 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.
