PQLS1
Jitterless high quality playback is possible by connecting
a PQLS-compatible player with HDMI connections.
Our philosophy
Pioneer is dedicated to making your home theater
listening experience as close as possible to the vision of
the moviemakers and mastering engineer when they
created the original soundtrack. We do this by focusing
on three important steps:
•
Dolby Pro Logic llz compatible
Adding a pair of speakers above the front left and right
speakers adds expressiveness in the vertical direction to the
previous horizontally-oriented sound field. The height
channel strengthens the sound field’s sense of three-
dimensionality and air, producing presence and expansion.
1
Achieving the highest possible sound quality
2
Allowing for customized acoustic calibration
•
Internet Radio
according to any listening area
By connecting this receiver to the network via the LAN
terminal, you can listen to Internet radio stations.
3
Fine-tuning the receiver with the help of world-
class studio engineers*
•
HOME MEDIA GALLERY2
* With the cooperation of AIR Studios, this receiver has
been designated AIR Studios Monitor:
This receiver can play back contents stored on your
computer when your computer is connected to the LAN
terminal of this receiver.
•
XM and SIRIUS Ready
With the XM and SIRIUS Radio terminals, you’ll be up
and running in no time.
•
Bluetooth compatible
Using the Bluetooth ADAPTER (Pioneer Model No. AS-
3
BT100) lets you enjoy music files on an iPhone or other
Bluetooth wireless technology device wirelessly.
Features
•
Direct Energy HD Amplifier
•
Sound Retriever and Sound Retriever Air
Through a collaboration, Pioneer and ICEpower have
jointly development a unique class D amplifier called a
“Direct Energy HD (High Fidelity Class D) amplifier”. This
new generation reference amplifier offers outstanding
performance with high sound quality and reproduces the
latest in multi-channel digital contents.
The Sound Retriever feature employs DSP technology to
restore sound pressure and smooth jagged artifacts left
over after compression. Sound Retriever Air
compensates for reduced sound quality due to
compression when sending Bluetooth signals.
•
Easy setup using Advanced MCACC
•
HDMI (Ver.1.4 with 3D, Audio Return Channel)
The Auto MCACC Setup provides a quick but accurate
surround sound setup, which includes the advanced
features of Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ.
A compatible component is required to use the above
function.
•
Remote operation on an iPhone/iPod touch
•
Web control
Operation via LAN is possible from an iPhone or iPod
touch by downloading a Pioneer original application
(iControlAV) from the iTunes Store.
The receiver can be operated using a browser from a
computer connected on the same LAN as the receiver.

• If you intend to connect only one surround back
speaker, place it directly behind you.
• Place the left and right front height speakers at least
one meter (3.3 ft.) directly above the left and right

Important
• The Speaker System setting must be made if you
use any of the connections shown above other than
[A] (see Speaker system setting on page 115).
THX speaker system setup
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.
• Sound does not come through simultaneously from
the front height, front wide, speaker B and surround
back speakers. Output speakers are different
See also THX Audio Setting on page 117 to make the
settings that will give you the best sound experience
when using the Home THX modes (page 60).
depending on the input signal or listening mode.
Other speaker connections
Some tips for improving sound quality
• Your favorite speaker connections can be selected
even if you have fewer than 5.1 speakers (except front
left/right 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.
• When not connecting a subwoofer, connect speakers
with low frequency reproduction capabilities to the
front channel. (The subwoofer’s low frequency
component is played from the front speakers, so the
speakers could be damaged.)
• 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.
•
After connecting, be sure to conduct the Full Auto
MCACC (speaker environment setting) procedure.
See Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning
(Full Auto MCACC) on page 43.
• For the best stereo effect, place the front speakers 2
m to 3 m (6 ft. to 9 ft.) apart, at equal distance from
the TV.
• If you’re going to place speakers around your CRT TV,
use shielded speakers or place the speakers at a
sufficient distance from your CRT TV.
• If you’re using a center speaker, place the front
speakers at a wider angle. If not, place them at a
narrower angle.

Connecting your equipment
03
• 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.
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.
• 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.
CAUTION
• Surround and surround back speakers should be
positioned 60 cm to 90 cm (2 ft. to 3 ft.) higher than
your ears and tilted slightly 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.
• These speaker terminals carry HAZARDOUS LIVE
voltage. To prevent the risk of electric shock when
connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables,
disconnect the power cord before touching any
uninsulated parts.
• 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.
• 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.

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.
• Use an RCA cable to connect the subwoofer. It is not
possible to connect using speaker cables.
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.

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).

The front height terminals can also be used
for the front wide and Speaker B speakers.

Bi-amping is when you connect the high frequency driver
and low frequency driver of your speakers to different
amplifiers for better crossover performance. Your
speakers must be bi-ampable to do this (having separate
terminals for high and low) and the sound improvement
will depend on the kind of speakers you’re using.
Bi-wiring your speakers
Your speakers can also be bi-wired if they support bi-
amping.
• With these connections, the Speaker System setting
makes no difference.
•
To bi-wire a speaker, connect two speaker cords to
the speaker terminal on the receiver.
Using a banana plug for the second connection is
recommended.
CAUTION
• Most speakers with both High and Low terminals
have two metal plates that connect the High to the
Low terminals. These must be removed when you are
bi-amping the speakers or you could severely
damage the amplifier. See your speaker manual for
more information.
• If your speakers have a removable crossover network,
make sure you do not remove it for bi-amping. Doing
so may damage your speakers.
CAUTION
• Don’t connect different speakers from the same
terminal in this way.
• When bi-wiring as well, heed the cautions for bi-
amping shown at the left.

Connect bi-amp compatible speakers to the front
The video converter ensures that all video sources are
output through all of the MONITOR VIDEO OUT jacks.
The only exception is HDMI: since this resolution cannot
be downsampled, you must connect your monitor/TV to
the receiver’s HDMI video outputs when connecting this
and surround back speaker terminals.

Note
1 • If the video signal does not appear on your TV, try adjusting the resolution settings on your component or display. Note that some
components (such as video game units) have resolutions that may not be converted. In this case, try switching Digital Video Conversion (in
Setting the Video options on page 78) OFF.
• The signal input resolutions that can be converted from the component video input for the HDMI output are 480i/576i, 480p/576p, 720p and
1080i. 1080p signals cannot be converted.
• Only signals with an input resolution of 480i/576i can be converted from the component video input for the composite MONITOR OUT
terminals.

Note
1 • An HDMI connection can only be made with DVI-equipped components compatible with both DVI and High Bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP). If you choose to connect to a DVI connector, you will need a separate adaptor (DVIHDMI) to do so. A DVI connection,
however, does not support audio signals. Consult your local audio dealer for more information.
• If you connect a component that is not compatible with HDCP, an HDCP ERROR message is displayed on the front panel display. Some
components that are compatible with HDCP still cause this message to be displayed, but so long as there is no problem with displaying video
this is not a malfunction.
• Depending on the component you have connected, using a DVI connection may result in unreliable signal transfers.
• This receiver supports SACD, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio. To take advantage of these formats, however,
make sure that the component connected to this receiver also supports the corresponding format.
®
®
2 • Use a High Speed HDMI cable. If an HDMI cable other than a High Speed HDMI cable is used, it may not work properly.
• When an HDMI cable with a built-in equalizer is connected, it may not operate properly.
3 Signal transfer is only possible when connected to a compatible component.
4 • HDMI format digital audio transmissions require a longer time to be recognized. Due to this, interruption in the audio may occur when
switching between audio formats or beginning playback.
• Turning on/off the device connected to this unit's HDMI OUT terminal during playback, or disconnecting/connecting the HDMI cable during
playback, may cause noise or interrupted audio.

About the WMA9 Pro decoder
This unit has an on-board Windows Media™ Audio 9
1
Professional (WMA9 Pro) decoder, so it is possible to
playback WMA9 Pro-encoded audio using HDMI, coaxial
or optical digital connection when connected to a WMA9
Pro-compatible player. However, the connected DVD
player, set-top box, etc. must be able to output WMA9 Pro
format audio signals through a coaxial or optical digital
output.
• You can’t hear HDMI audio through this receiver’s
digital out jack.
Turntables only:
• If your turntable has a grounding wire, secure it to the
ground terminal on this receiver.
• If your turntable has line-level outputs (i.e., it has a
built-in phono pre-amp), connect it to the CD inputs
instead.
Note
1 • Windows Media and the Windows logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the United States and/or other
countries.
• With WMA9 Pro, sound problems may occur depending on your computer system. Note that WMA9 Pro 96 kHz sources will be
downsampled to 48 kHz.

Plug the supplied power cord into the AC IN socket
on the back of the receiver.
2
Plug the other end into a power outlet.1
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.

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.
For example, if your DVD player only has an optical
output, you will need to change the DVD input function’s
Digital In setting from COAX-1 (default) to the optical
input you’ve connected it to. The numbering (OPT-1 to 3)
corresponds with the numbers beside the inputs on the
back of the receiver.
6
When you’re finished, proceed to the settings for
other inputs.
There are optional settings in addition to the assignment
of the input jacks:
• 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.
• Input Name – You can choose to rename the input
function for easier identification. Select Rename to
do so, or Default to return to the system default.
Note
1 If the speaker is not pointed to the microphone (listening position) or when using speakers that affect the phase (dipole speakers, reflective
speakers, etc.), Reverse Phase may be displayed even if the speakers are properly connected.
2 • Depending on the characteristics of your room, sometimes identical speakers with cone sizes of around 12 cm (5 inches) will end up with
different size settings. You can correct the setting manually using the Manual speaker setup on page 114.
• The subwoofer distance setting may be farther than the actual distance from the listening position. This setting should be accurate (taking
delay and room characteristics into account) and generally does not need to be changed.
• If Full Auto MCACC Setup measurement results are incorrect due to the interaction of the speakers and viewing environment, we
recommend adjusting the settings manually.

Tune to a station.
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 63 stations, stored in seven
banks, or classes (A to G) of 9 stations each.
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.

transmitted via the Internet. There are a large number of
Internet radio stations broadcasting a variety of services
from every corner of the world. Some are hosted,
managed, and broadcast by private individuals while
others are by the corresponding traditional terrestrial
radio stations or radio networks. Whereas terrestrial, or
OTA (over-the-air), radio stations are geographically
restricted on the range of radio waves broadcast from a
transmitter through the air, Internet radio stations are
accessible from anywhere in the world, as long as there
is a connection to the Internet, as services are not
transmitted through the air but are delivered over the
World Wide Web. On this receiver you can select Internet
radio stations by genre as well as by region.
There are two methods of programming: one lets you use
the GUI screen on this receiver; the other lets you
connect your computer and use that screen.

arrives at the listening position in phase, preventing
unwanted distortion and/or coloring of the sound.
Selecting MCACC presets
• Default setting: MEMORY 1
If you have calibrated your system for different listening
positions, you can switch between settings to suit the
kind of source you’re listening to and where you’re sitting
(for example, watching movies from a sofa, or playing a
video game close to the TV).
Note
1 • These settings have no effect when headphones are connected.
• You can also press / to select the MCACC preset.
2 • This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz), DTS (including DTS 96/24) and WMA9 Pro digital signal formats.
The compatible signals via the HDMI terminals are: Dolby Digital, DTS, WMA9 Pro, PCM (32 kHz to 192 kHz), Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus,
DTS-EXPRESS, DTS-HD Master Audio and SACD.
• You may get digital noise when an LD, CD, DVD or BD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the
proper digital connections (page 34) and set the signal input to DIGITAL.
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with your DVD player.
3 When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH, the sound will be heard through your TV, not from this receiver.
4 • This is useful if you find there is a slight delay before AUTO recognizes the PCM signal on a CD, for instance.
• When PCM is selected, noise may be output during playback of non-PCM sources. Please select another input signal if this is a problem.

This receiver is equipped with the two types of functions

Standard speakers designed exclusively for audio use
generally reproduce sound with the divided frequency
bands output from a speaker system consisting of
multiple speakers (in case of typical 3-way speakers, for
instance, the tweeter, the squawker (midrange), and the
woofer output sound in the high-, middle-, and low-
frequency ranges, respectively). Though these speakers
are designed to flatten the frequency-amplitude
characteristics across wide ranges, there are cases
Note
1 • Phase matching is a very important factor in achieving proper sound reproduction. If two waveforms are ‘in phase’, they crest and trough
together, resulting in increased amplitude, clarity and presence of the sound signal. If a crest of a wave meets a trough, then the sound will
be ‘out of phase’ and an unreliable sound image will be produced.
• The PHASE CONTROL feature is available even when the headphones are plugged in.
• If your subwoofer has a phase control switch, set it to the plus (+) sign (or 0°). However, the effect you can actually feel when
PHASE CONTROL is set to ON on this receiver depends on the type of your subwoofer. Set your subwoofer to maximize the effect. It is also
recommended you try changing the orientation or the place of your subwoofer.
• Set the built-in lowpass filter switch of your subwoofer to off. If this cannot be done on your subwoofer, set the cutoff frequency to a higher
value.
• If the speaker distance is not properly set, you may not have a maximized PHASE CONTROL effect.
• The PHASE CONTROL mode cannot be set to ON in the following cases:
– When the PURE DIRECT mode is switched on.
– When MULTI CH IN input is selected.
– When the HDMI audio output parameter is set to THROUGH in Setting the Audio options on page 76.
2 To calibrate and analyze the frequency-phase characteristics of the speakers, either follow the Full Auto MCACC procedure under Advanced
MCACC (see Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 43), or set Auto MCACC menu under Auto MCACC
under Advanced MCACC to Full Band Phase Ctrl. Select ALL when you perform the Auto MCACC with Auto MCACC menu. Upon
calibration of the frequency-phase characteristics of the speakers, the Full Band Phase Ctrl feature is automatically switched on.
3 The original characteristics of group delay of the speakers calibrated and the targeted characteristics after correction can be displayed
graphically in the GUI screen (see Group Delay (SC-37 only) on page 111). Also, by transferring the measurement data to the computer using
a USB device, the original characteristics of group delay of the speakers calibrated and the corrected characteristics of group delay can be
displayed in 3-dimension on your PC (see Output MCACC data on page 112).
4 The Full Band Phase Ctrl mode cannot be set to ON in the following cases:

About connections with a product of a
different brand that supports the Control
with HDMI function
The synchronized operations below can be used when
the receiver’s Control with HDMI function is connected
to a TV of a brand other than Pioneer that supports the
Control with HDMI function. (Depending on the TV,
however, some of the Control with HDMI functions may
not work.)
About synchronized operations
The Control with HDMI-compatible component
connected to the receiver operates in sync as described
below.
• From the menu screen of the Control with HDMI-
compatible TV, set audio to be played through this
receiver, and the receiver will switch to the
synchronized amp mode.
• When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s
power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for
a component connected to the receiver by HDMI
connection is selected or when watching the TV)
• When in the synchronized amp mode, you can adjust
the receiver’s volume or mute the sound using the
TV’s remote control.
• When in the synchronized amp mode, the
synchronized amp mode is canceled when the
receiver’s power is turned off. To turn the
synchronized amp mode back on, set audio to be
played through the receiver from the TV’s menu
screen, etc. This receiver will power up and switch to
the synchronized amp mode.
• The sound of TV programs or an external input
connected to the TV can also be output from the
speakers connected to the receiver. (If the TV does
not support the HDMI Audio Return Channel
function, this requires connection of an optical
digital cable, etc., in addition to the HDMI cable.)
The synchronized operations below can be used when
the receiver’s Control with HDMI function is connected
to a player or recorder of a brand other than Pioneer that
supports the Control with HDMI function.
• When the synchronized amp mode is canceled, the
receiver’s power turns off if you were viewing an
HDMI input or a TV program on the TV.
• When in the synchronized amp mode, the
synchronized amp mode is canceled if an operation
that produces sound from the TV is performed from
the TV’s menu screen, etc.
• When playback starts on the player or recorder, the
receiver’s input switches to the HDMI input to which
that component is connected.
See the Pioneer website for the latest information on the
models of non-Pioneer brands and products that support
the Control with HDMI function.
• When the TV’s power is set to standby, the receiver’s
power is also set to standby. (Only when the input for
a component connected to the receiver by HDMI
connection is selected or when watching the TV.)
• The receiver’s input switches automatically when the
Control with HDMI-compatible component is played.
• The receiver’s input switches automatically when the
TV’s channel is switched.
• The synchronized amp mode remains in effect even if
the receiver’s input is switched to a component other
than one connected by HDMI.
The operations below can also be used on Pioneer
Control with HDMI-compatible TVs.
• When the receiver’s volume is adjusted or the sound
is muted, the volume status is displayed on the TV’s
screen.
• When the OSD language is switched on the TV, the
receiver’s language setting also switches
accordingly.

Control with HDMI function
Setting the PQLS function
08
Cautions on the Control with HDMI
function
PQLS (Precision Quartz Lock System) is a digital audio
signal transfer control technology using the Control with
HDMI function. It offers higher-quality audio playback by
controlling audio signals from the receiver to a PQLS
compatible player, etc. This enables removing jitter that
has a negative effect on the quality of the sound and is
generated upon transmission.
• Connect the TV directly to this receiver. Interrupting a
direct connection with other amps or an AV converter
(such as an HDMI switch) can cause operational
errors.
• Only connect components (Blu-ray disc player, etc.)
you intend to use as a source to the HDMI input of
this receiver. Interrupting a direct connection with
other amps or an AV converter (such as an HDMI
switch) can cause operational errors.
• SC-37 only: On players compatible with PQLS Bit-
stream, PQLS always works for all sources.
• On players compatible with PQLS Multi Surround,
PQLS works for all sources. Set the player’s audio
output to Linear PCM.
• When Control is set to ON, HDMI Input in The Input
Setup menu on page 45 is automatically set to OFF.
• On players compatible with PQLS 2 ch Audio, PQLS
only works when playing CDs.
• When the receiver’s Control is turned ON, even if the
receiver’s power is in the standby mode, it is possible
to output the audio and video signals from a player
via HDMI to the TV without producing sound from the
receiver, but only when a Control with HDMI-
compatible component (Blu-ray disc player, etc.) and
compatible TV are connected. In this case, the
receiver’s power turns on and the power and HDMI
indicators light.
Please refer to the operating instructions supplied with
your player for more information.
1
This function is activated when Control is set to ON.
•
Set the remote control to the receiver operation
mode, then press PQLS to select the PQLS setting.
The setting is displayed on the front panel display.
• PQLS AUTO – PQLS is enabled. A precision quartz
controller in this receiver eliminates distortion
caused by timing errors (jitter), giving you the best
possible digital-to-analog conversion when you use
the HDMI interface. This is valid as an HDMI function
for PQLS-compatible players.
• PQLS OFF – PQLS is disabled.
Note
1 • If a listening mode other than AUTO SURROUND, ALC, DIRECT, PURE DIRECT, OPTIMUM SURR (SC-37 only) or STEREO is selected while
the PQLS effect is enabled, the PQLS effect is disabled.
• When this receiver is connected by HDMI cable to a Pioneer player that is compatible with the PQLS function via HDMI connection and
HDMI reauthentication is performed (the HDMI indicator blinks), the PQLS effect is enabled and the listening mode is set to AUTO
SURROUND if a listening mode other than AUTO SURROUND, ALC, DIRECT, PURE DIRECT, OPTIMUM SURR (SC-37 only) or STEREO is
selected.

4
Press and hold MULTI OPERATION for a couple of
seconds to exit and store the operation(s).
Do not use this remote control in the following locations,
since transmission interruption may result:
Precautions when using the Omni-
Directional RF Remote Control
• Locations where another device using the same 2.4
GHz frequency is being used, such as a Bluetooth
wireless technology device or wireless LAN, or in the
vicinity where the magnetic field, static electricity, or
radio wave interference from another device may
occur (depending on the environment, radio waves
may not transmit effectively).
Precautions regarding wavelength
• This remote control is designed to prevent other
persons from eavesdropping on the transmitted
signals, but precautions should nonetheless be
taken against the chance that other persons’ could
intercept and listen to the signals transmitted. Given
that this remote control produces radio wave
transmissions, another person could deliberately use
a receiver to attempt to intercept such transmissions.
As a result, this device should not be used to play
important transmissions demanding privacy.
• Move the radio farther away.
• If visual noise appears on the television screen, it is
possible that this remote control is producing
adverse influence on the antenna input of the
television, video device, BS tuner, or CS tuner. Move
this remote control farther away from the antenna
input of the affected device.
This remote control utilizes the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
This band is also used by a variety of other devices as
noted below. In particular, devices not often cognizant to
the user are listed in item 2.
Note
1 • When the remote control’s input is switched, the receiver’s input also switches, but for functions for which the remote control direct function
(page 86) is set to off, when the remote control’s input is switched, the receiver’s input does not switch and only the remote control unit’s
operating screen switches.
• The remote control operation mode is only valid when the remote control operation selector switch is set to SOURCE.

• When signal transmission is blocked by a wall or floor
constructed of ferro-concrete or metal.
• Nearby large metal furniture objects
• In large crowds of people, or near obstructive
buildings.
• Locations where another device using the same 2.4
GHz frequency is being used, such as a Bluetooth
wireless technology device or wireless LAN, or in the
vicinity where the magnetic field, static electricity, or
radio wave interference from another device may
occur.
• When living in a housing complex (apartment,
condominium, etc.) where the next-door unit has a
microwave oven located near to this remote control.
Note that even a microwave oven will not interfere
with this remote control when not in use.
• When using multiple Omni-Directional RF Remote
Control in the same location.
Signal reflection
• The signals reaching the remote control include
those transmitted in a straight line from the main unit
(direct waves), and those that are received after being
bounced off of walls, furniture, and other buildings
(reflected waves).
As a result, reflected waves can be generated by
obstacles and other reflective objects, causing
variations in the signal quality. In such cases, try
slightly changing the position of the remote control.
CAUTION
• With the exception of cases determined by law to be
the subject of legal liability, Pioneer refuses all
responsibility for any harm resulting to the customer
or other person as a result of the use of this remote
control.
For safe use
• Do not use near electronic devices utilizing high-
precision or very delicate radio waves, since the other
device may operate incorrectly, resulting in
malfunction.
Examples of devices requiring particular caution:
• Hearing aids, pacemakers and other medical or
therapeutic electronic devices, fire/smoke detectors,
automatic door openers, other automatic devices.

Setting the remote to control other
components
When the preset code is fully input, the LED flashes three
times to indicate that the setting has failed. If this
happens, enter the 4-digit preset code again.
Most components can be assigned to one of the input
function buttons (such as DVD or CD) using the
component’s manufacturer preset code stored in the
remote.
4
Repeat steps 2 through 3 for the other components
you want to control.
To try out the remote control, switch the component on or
off (into standby) by pressing SOURCE. If it doesn’t
seem to work, select the next code from the list (if there
is one).
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.
5
Press R.SETUP to exit the preset setup mode.
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 on page 97).
Programming signals from other
remote controls
• For greater convenience, assign the TV connected to
the MONITOR OUT terminal to the TV CTRL button,
and assign your satellite/cable receiver or set-top box
connected to the TV input terminal to the TV input
button. If a single device is connected to both
terminals, that device should be assigned to both the
TV CTRL and TV input buttons.
If the preset code for your component is not available, or
the available preset codes do not operate correctly, you
can program signals from the remote control of another
component. This can also be used to program additional
operations (buttons not covered in the presets) after

assigning a preset code.
Certain buttons represent operations that cannot be
learned from other remote controls. The buttons
available are shown below:

Automatic MCACC (Expert)
If your setup requires more detailed settings than those
provided in Automatically conducting optimum sound
tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 43, you can customize
your setup options below. You can calibrate your system
differently for up to six different MCACC presets, which
are useful if you have different listening positions
depending on the type of source (for example, watching
movies from a sofa, or playing a video game close to the
TV).
The Advanced MCACC (Multi Channel ACoustic
Calibration) system was developed in Pioneer’s
laboratories with the aim of making it possible for home
users to perform adjustments of the same level as in a
studio easily and with high precision. The acoustic
characteristics of the listening environment are
measured and the frequency response is calibrated
accordingly to allow high precision, automatic analysis
and optimal calibration of the sound field to bring it
closer to a studio environment than ever before.
Furthermore, while it was previously difficult to eliminate
standing waves, this receiver is equipped with a standing
wave control function using a unique process to perform
acoustic analysis and reduce their influence.
Important
• Make sure the microphone/speakers are not moved
during the Auto MCACC Setup.
• The screen saver will automatically appear after five
minutes of inactivity.
This section describes how to calibrate the sound field
automatically and fine-adjust the sound field data
manually.
CAUTION

1 If the Reverb View procedure is performed after the Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto MCACC) on page 43 or
Reverb Measurement operation, depending on the standing wave control setting, differences may appear on the reverb graph. With the Auto
MCACC function, the reverberations are measured with the standing waves controlled, so the reverb characteristics graph shows the
characteristics with the effect of the standing waves eliminated. By contrast, the Reverb Measurement function measures the reverberations
without controlling the standing waves, so the graph indicates the reverb characteristics including the effect of the standing waves. If you wish
to check the reverb characteristics of the room itself (with the standing waves as such), we recommend using the Reverb Measurement
function.

adjustment described here without moving the microphone.
• The adjustment here is for adjusting for an error of 1/2 inch or less (not adjustable with the Auto MCACC Setup). 0.0 may be displayed after distance
correction with the Auto MCACC Setup, but even in this case this adjustment allows you to optimize the correction. Note that if the Auto MCACC Setup is
performed after completing the fine-adjustment here, the correction precision will drop to about 1/2 inch.
• Like with the Auto MCACC Setup, perform this adjustment in as quiet an environment as possible. 0.0 will be displayed if abrupt noise is input during the
adjustment.
• The distance for all the channels can only be made uniform even if the R (front right) channel is adjusted in the proper order.
• Be very careful not to tip the speakers over when moving them.
• The result of the adjustment performed here can be checked by listening to the test pulses output at the Precision Distance (SC-37 only) (the test pulses
will be more centrally positioned between the speakers than before the adjustment was performed). Be careful not to change the distance values at this

• MANUAL – Move the test tone manually from
speaker to speaker and adjust individual channel
levels.
Note
1 • If you selected ZONE 2 or Front Bi-Amp (in Speaker system setting on page 115) you can’t adjust the surround back settings.
• If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back speakers will automatically be set to NO.
2 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 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.
3 • This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or the subwoofer, and bass sounds
playing back from those selected as SMALL. It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the LFE channel.
• With Full Auto MCACC Setup or Auto MCACC Setup (ALL or Speaker Setting), the setting here will not apply and the crossover frequency
will be automatically set. Crossover frequency is a frequency aimed at achieving the optimal sound field taking into account the bass capacity
of all connected speakers and human aural characteristics.
• If you’re using THX speakers, confirm that the crossover frequency is set to 80Hz.
4 If you are using a Sound Pressure Level (SPL) meter, take the readings from your main listening position and adjust the level of each speaker
to 75 dB SPL (C-weighting/slow reading).

Speaker Setting Guide
In order to achieve an even better surround effect, it is
important to accurately position the speakers and make
their volume and tone characteristics uniform so as to
finely focus the multi-channel sound.
Step 3: Adjusting the speaker orientation
If the left and right speakers are not pointing in the same
direction, the tone will not be the same on the right and
left, and as a result the sound field will not be reproduced
properly. However, if all the speakers are pointed towards
the listening position, the sound field will seem cramped.
Testing by the Pioneer Multi-channel Research Group
has shown that a good sense of sound positioning can be
achieved by pointing all the speakers towards an area
30 cm to 80 cm (12 inches to 31 inches) behind the
listening position (between the surround speakers and
the listening position).
The three major elements in positioning the speakers are
distance, angle and orientation (the direction in which
the speakers are pointing).
Distance: The distance of all the speakers should be
equal.
Angle: The speakers should be horizontally symmetrical.
Orientation: The orientation should be horizontally
symmetrical.
However, the sense of sound positioning can differ
according to the conditions in the room and the speakers
being used. In smaller environments in particular (when
the front speakers are close to the listening position),
with this method the speakers will be pointed too inward.
We suggest you use this example of installation as
reference when trying out different installation methods.
In most homes, however, it is not possible to achieve this
environment. For the distance, on this receiver it is
possible to automatically correct the speaker distance

electrically to a precision of /2 inch using the Full Auto
MCACC Setup function (page 43).
SC-37 only: For the volume and sound quality as well,
accurate sound field correction using the equalizer and
speaker phase characteristic correction using the Full
Band Phase Control function (page 63) together make it
possible to achieve the ideal listening environment.
Step 4: Positioning and adjusting the subwoofer
Placing the subwoofer between the center and front
speakers makes even music sources sound more natural
(if there is only one subwoofer, it doesn’t matter if it is
placed on the left or right side). The low bass sound
output from the subwoofer is not directional and there is
no need to adjust the height. Normally the subwoofer is
placed on the floor. Put it in a position at which it will not
cancel out the bass sound output from the other
speakers. Also note that placing it near a wall may result
in sympathetic vibrations with the building that could
excessively amplify the bass sound.
Step 1: Speaker layout and distance adjustment
Use speaker stands or the like to make sure the speakers
are steady, and leave at least 10 cm (4 inches) from the
surrounding walls. Position the speakers attentively so
that the speakers on the left and right are at equal angles
from the listening position (center of the adjustments).
(We recommend using cords, etc., when adjusting the
layout.) Ideally all the speakers should be equidistant
from the listening position.
If the subwoofer must be installed near a wall, place it at
an angle so that it is not parallel to the wall surface. This
can help reduce any sympathetic vibrations, but
depending on the shape of the room this could result in
standing waves. However, even if standing waves are
generated, their influence on the sound quality can be
prevented using the Auto MCACC’s standing wave
control function (page 111).
Tip
• If the speakers cannot be set at equal distances (on a
circle), use the Auto MCACC Setup speaker distance
correction and Fine Speaker Distance (or Precision
Distance – SC-37 only) functions to make them
equalize the distance artificially.
Step 5: Default settings with the Auto MCACC
Setup (auto sound field correction) function
It is more effective to perform the Full Auto MCACC Setup
(page 43) and Precision Distance (SC-37 only) (page 110)
procedure once the adjustments described above have
been completed.
Step 2: Adjusting the speaker height
Adjust the heights (angles) of the different speakers.
Adjust so that the front speaker units reproducing mid-
and high frequencies is roughly at the height of the ears.
If the center speaker cannot be set at the same height as
the front speakers, adjust its angle of elevation to point it
to the listening position.

Position of center speaker and monitor
Tip
Since mostly dialogs are output from the center speaker,
keeping the center speaker as close as possible to the
screen makes the overall sound more natural. For TVs
using Braun tubes, however, when installing the center
speaker on the floor, adjust its angle of elevation to point
it towards the listening position.
• The distance to the subwoofer may be slightly larger
than the distance actually measured with a tape
measure, etc. This is because this distance is
corrected for electric delay, and is not a problem.

Important information regarding the HDMI connection
There are cases where you may not be able to route HDMI signals through this receiver (this depends on the HDMI-
equipped component you are connecting–check with the manufacturer for HDMI compatibility information).
If you aren’t receiving HDMI signals properly through this receiver (from your component), please try one of the
following configurations when connecting up.
Configuration A
Configuration B
Use component video cables to connect the video output
of your HDMI-equipped component to the receiver’s
component video input. The receiver can then convert the
analog component video signal to a digital HDMI signal
for transmission to the display. For this configuration,
use the most convenient connection (digital is
recommended) for sending audio to the receiver. See the
operating instructions for more on audio connections.
Connect your HDMI-equipped component directly to the
display using an HDMI cable. Then use the most
convenient connection (digital is recommended) for
sending audio to the receiver. See the operating
instructions for more on audio connections. Set the
display volume to minimum when using this
configuration.
Note
Note
• If your display only has one HDMI terminal, you can
only receive HDMI video from the connected
component.
• The picture quality will change slightly during
conversion.
• Depending on the component, audio output may be
limited to the number of channels available from the
connected display unit (for example audio output is
reduced to 2 channels for a monitor with stereo audio
limitations).
• If you want to switch the input function, you’ll have to
switch functions on both the receiver and your
display unit.
• Since the sound is muted on the display when using
the HDMI connection, you must adjust the volume on
the display every time you switch input functions.

THX Cinema processing
THX is an exclusive set of standards and technologies established by
THX Ltd. THX grew from George Lucas’ personal desire to make your
experience of the film soundtrack, in both movie theatres and in your
home theatre, as faithful as possible to what the director intended.
Movie soundtracks are mixed in special movie theatres called
dubbing stages and are designed to be played back in movie theatres
with similar equipment and conditions. This same soundtrack is then
transferred directly onto Laserdisc, VHS tape, DVD, etc., and is not
changed for playback in a small home theatre environment. THX
engineers developed patented technologies to accurately translate
the sound from the movie theatre environment into the home,

correcting the tonal and spatial errors that occur. On this product,
when the THX indicator is on, THX features are automatically added
in Cinema modes (e.g. THX Cinema, THX Surround EX).
•
Boundary Gain Compensation™
Depending on the listener’s and the subwoofer’s position, the listener
may experience an excessive bass effect. This feature compensates
for excessive bass resulting from a boundary gain effect. This feature
is designed to operate when used with a subwoofer certified to THX
Ultra2/Select2™ specifications.
•
Re-Equalization
The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be excessively bright and
harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home because
film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie
theaters using very different professional equipment. Re-Equalization
restores the correct tonal balance for watching a movie soundtrack in
a small home environment.
•
THX Loudness Plus Description
THX Loudness Plus is a new volume control technology featured in
THX Ultra2 Plus™ and THX Select2 Plus™ Certified amplifiers. With
THX Loudness Plus, home theater audiences can now experience the
rich details in a surround mix at any volume level. A consequence of
turning the volume below Reference Level is that certain sound
elements can be lost or perceived differently by the listener. THX
Loudness Plus compensates for the tonal and spatial shifts that occur
when the volume is reduced by intelligently adjusting ambient
surround channel levels and frequency response. This enables users
to experience the true impact of soundtracks regardless of the volume
setting. THX Loudness Plus is automatically applied when listening in
any THX listening mode. The new THX Cinema, THX Music, and THX
Games modes are tailored to apply the proper THX Loudness Plus
settings for each type of content.
•
Timbre Matching
The human ear changes our perception of a sound depending on the
direction from which the sound is coming. In a movie theatre, there is
an array of surround speakers so that the surround information is all
around you. In a home theatre, you use only two speakers located to the
side of your head. The Timbre Matching feature filters the information
going to the surround speakers so that they more closely match the
tonal characteristics of the sound coming from the front speakers. This
ensures seamless panning between the front and surround speakers.
•
Adaptive Decorrelation
In a movie theatre, a large number of surround speakers help create
an enveloping surround sound experience, but in a home theatre
there are usually only two speakers. This can make the surround
speakers sound like headphones that lack spaciousness and
envelopment. The surround sounds will also collapse into the closest
speaker as you move away from the middle seating position. Adaptive
Decorrelation slightly changes one surround channel’s time and
phase relationship with respect to the other surround channel. This
expands the listening position and creates—with only two speakers—
the same spacious surround experience as in a movie theatre.
•
ASA Description
ASA is a proprietary THX technology which processes the sound fed
to 2 side and 2 back surround speakers to provide the optimal
surround sound experience. When you set up your home theater
system using all eight speaker outputs (Left, Center, Right, Surround
Right, Surround Back Right, Surround Back Left, Surround Left and
Subwoofer), be sure to go to the THX Audio Set-up screen and choose
the setting that most closely corresponds to the speaker spacing,
which will re-optimize the surround sound-field. ASA is used in three
modes; THX Ultra2 Cinema, THX Ultra2 Music and THX Ultra2 Games.
•
THX Ultra2/Select2 Plus
•
THX Ultra2/Select2 Cinema
Before any home theatre component can be THX Ultra2/Select2 Plus
certified, it must incorporate all the features above and also pass a
rigorous series of quality and performance tests. Only then can a
product feature the THX Ultra2/Select2 Plus logo, which is your
guarantee that the Home Theatre products you purchase will give you
superb performance for many years to come. THX Ultra2/Select2 Plus
requirements cover every aspect of the product including pre-
amplifier and power amplifier performance and operation, and
hundreds of other parameters in both the digital and analog domain.
THX Ultra2/Select2 Cinema mode plays 5.1 movies using all 8
speakers giving you the best possible movie watching experience. In
this mode, ASA processing blends the side surround speakers and
back surround speakers providing the optimal mix of ambient and
directional surround sounds.
DTS-ES (Matrix and 6.1 Discrete) and Dolby Digital Surround EX
encoded soundtracks will be automatically detected in Ultra2/Select2
Cinema mode if the appropriate flag has been encoded.
Some Dolby Digital Surround EX soundtracks are missing the digital
flag that allows automatic switching. If you know that the movie that
you are watching is encoded in Surround EX, you can manually select
the THX Surround EX playback mode, otherwise THX Ultra2/Select2
Cinema mode will apply ASA processing to provide optimum replay.
•
THX Surround EX
THX Surround EX - Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development
of Dolby Laboratories and the THX Ltd. In a movie theater, film
soundtracks that have been encoded with Dolby Digital Surround EX
technology are able to reproduce an extra channel which has been
added during the mixing of the program. This channel, called
Surround Back, places sounds behind the listener in addition to the
currently available front left, front center, front right, surround right,
surround left and subwoofer channels. This additional channel
provides the opportunity for more detailed imaging behind the
listener and brings more depth, spacious ambience and sound
localization than ever before. Movies that were created using the
Dolby Digital Surround EX technology, when released into the home
consumer market may exhibit wording to that effect on the
packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can be
found on the Dolby web site at www.dolby.com.
•
THX Ultra2/Select2 Music
For the playback of multi-channel music the THX Ultra2/Select2
Music mode should be selected. In this mode THX ASA processing is
applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 encoded music sources
such as DTS, Dolby Digital and DVD-Audio to provide a wide stable
rear soundstage.
•
THX Ultra2/Select2 Games
For the playback of stereo and multi-channel game audio the THX
Ultra2/Select2 Games mode should be selected. In this mode THX
ASA processing is applied to the surround channels of all 5.1 and 2.0
encoded game sources such as analog, PCM, DTS and Dolby Digital.
This accurately places all game audio surround information,
providing a full 360 degree playback environment. THX Ultra2/Select2
Games mode is unique as it gives you a smooth transition of audio in
all points of the surround field.
Only amplifier and controller products bearing the THX Surround EX
logo, when in the THX Surround EX mode, faithfully reproduce this
new technology in the home.
This product may also engage the “THX Surround EX” mode during
the playback of 5.1 channel material that is not Dolby Digital
Surround EX encoded. In such case the information delivered to the
Surround Back channel will be program dependent and may or may
not be very pleasing depending on the particular soundtrack and the
tastes of the individual listener.

Preset code list (SC-35 only)
You should have no problem controlling a component if you find the manufacturer in this list, but please note that there
are cases where codes for the manufacturer in the list will not work for the model that you are using. There are also
cases where only certain functions may be controllable after assigning the proper preset code.
Important
• We do not guarantee the operations of all the manufacturers and devices listed. Operation may not be possible
even if a preset code is entered.
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 on
page 97).

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.
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.
Decibel
Level Example
30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 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
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock
at two feet.
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.
THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS
UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE
90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers,
thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad
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.
Information courtesy of the Deafness Research Foundation.
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.
