					Introduction to home theater   
					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.   
					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.   
					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’.   
					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.

					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.

					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.   
					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 6–16Ω   
					(please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use speakers with an   
					impedance of less than 8Ω).

					Connecting digital components   
					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).   
					The VSX-D514/D714 has three digital inputs on the rear panel (two coaxial inputs and an optical   
					input) and the VSX-D814 has four (two coaxial inputs and two optical inputs). Connect your   
					digital components to the rear panel as shown below.   
					• 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.   
					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 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 2RF 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.

					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 6–16Ω   
					(please see Switching the speaker impedance on page 72 if you plan to use speakers with an   
					impedance of less than 8Ω).   
					Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

					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.   
					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 down-   
					mixed to these two speakers.   
					• 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   
					• 
					Press the SPEAKERS button on the   
					front panel to switch between speaker   
					systems (A, B or both).   
					negative wire to the left channel (–)   
					terminal (see illustration on page 11).   
					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   
					Speaker terminals   
					1 
					2 
					3 
					10mm   
					placement that the speaker manufacturer   
					provided with your particular speakers to get   
					the most out of them.   
					1 
					2 
					Twist exposed wire strands together.   
					Loosen speaker terminal and insert   
					exposed wire.   
					• Place the front left and right speakers at   
					equal distances from the TV.   
					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.   
					• 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.

					channel is localized at the TV screen.

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

					• 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.

					To make the most of the SR+ features, you   
					should connect your source components   
					(DVD player, etc.) in a slightly different way to   
					that described in this chapter. For each   
					component, connect the video output directly   
					to the plasma display, and just connect the   
					audio (analog and/or digital) to this receiver.   
					R 
					AUDIO

					* The illustration shows the VSX-D814, but   
					connections for the VSX-D714 are the same.   
					• If you connect to a Pioneer plasma display   
					using an SR+ cable, you will need to point   
					the remote control at the plasma display   
					remote sensor to control the receiver. In   
					this case, you won’t be able to control the   
					receiver using the remote control if you   
					switch the plasma display off.   
					• The 3-ringed miniplug SR+ cable from   
					Pioneer is commercially available under the   
					part number ADE7095. Contact the Pioneer   
					Customer Support division for more infor-   
					mation on obtaining an SR+ cable.

					for other stations.   
					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.
