5 minute guide

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 multi-channel surround sound) are explained in Playing sources on page 35.

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 48 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.

3 Connect your speakers.

A complete setup of speakers is shown here (six speakers for the VSX-D712, and eight for the VSX-D812/D912), 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.

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.

Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.

If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 44) to large.

Automatically calibrating your listening area (MCACC)

The Multi-Channel Acoustic Calibration (MCACC) system 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.

Connecting up

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-D712 has three digital inputs on the rear panel (two coaxial inputs and an optical input) and both the VSX-D812 and VSX-D912 have four (two coaxial inputs and two optical inputs). Connect your digital components to the rear panel as shown below.

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.

04 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 17 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 17). It is also a good idea to hook up your digital components with analog audio connections (see page 18).

For better quality video, you can hook up using the S-video jacks 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-D712)

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 44) 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.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

• Use speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 Ω to 16 Ω.

Connecting up

Connecting the speakers (VSX-D812/D912)

A complete setup of eight 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 for surround sound. If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 44) 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.

Be sure to complete all connections before connecting this unit to the AC power source.

04 Connecting up

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 45 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

10mm

1Twist exposed wire strands together.

2Loosen 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.

3Tighten terminal.

24

A and B speaker systems

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 multi-channel 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.

En

Connecting up

Place the center speaker above or below the TV so that the sound of the center 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.

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.

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.

Connecting up

To hear sound only from the pre-outs, disconnect any speakers that are connected directly to the receiver.

If you’re not using a subwoofer, change the front speaker setting (see Speaker setting on page 44) to large.

VSX-D712 only – If you connect to a surround back speaker, make sure the

Surround back speaker setting on page 45 is switched on and set to the proper speaker size.

These speaker terminals are hazardous when live. To prevent the risk of electric shock when connecting or disconnecting the speaker cables, disconnect the power cord.

Power cord caution

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.

Playing sources

Chapter 6:

Playing sources

Introduction to Sound Modes

There are three basic sound options: Stereo/ Direct (STEREO/DIRECT), Standard (STANDARD) or Advanced Surround (ADVANCED SURROUND).

Stereo/Direct

When you select STEREO or DIRECT, you will hear the source through just the front left and right speakers (and possibly your subwoofer depending on your speaker settings). Dolby Digital and DTS multichannel sources are downmixed to stereo.

In STEREO, you’ll hear the audio with your surround settings and you can still use the Midnight, Loudness, and Tone control functions.

With DIRECT, you will bypass all effects and surround settings so that the audio remains as close to the source audio signal as possible.

If you switch on Midnight listening, Loudness, or the Tone controls when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically switches to STEREO.

Standard mode

The Standard mode can be used to decode Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby Surround sources.

The other surround sound options (next column) can add multi-channel sound to regular stereo sources.

You can identify Dolby Digital software by the

1 or marks. Most Dolby Surround software is marked 3, but unmarked software may also incorporate Dolby Surround. Depending on the source and the sound mode you have selected, you may not get sound from the surround back speakers in your setup. For more on this, refer to Using the Virtual Surround Back mode (VSB) on page 40 and Using the Surround Back Channel (SB CH) on page 39.

Choose one of the following to add depth to a 2 channel source:

Pro Logic II Movie (MOVIE)

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound. It is suitable for movies, especially those recorded in Dolby Surround. The channel separation and movement of surround effects is comparable to Dolby Digital 5.1.

Pro Logic II Music (MUSIC)

This mode gives 5.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The surround effect is more enveloping than Pro Logic II Movie.

Pro Logic (PROLOGIC)

This mode gives 4.1 channel surround sound. It is less sensitive to the quality of the source material, so may be useful when Pro Logic II Movie/ Music modes don’t give good results.

Neo:6 Cinema (CINEMA)

This mode gives 6.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for movies. The Neo:6 Cinema mode delivers good channel separation for movie soundtracks.

06

Español Nederlands Deutsch Français Italiano English

35

En

06 Playing sources

Neo:6 Music (MUSIC)

This mode gives 6.1 channel surround sound and is suitable for music. The Neo:6 Music mode plays the stereo source as is through the front left/right speakers, and generates a natural, ambient surround and center sound.

Advanced Surround modes

These are designed to be used with multichannel surround sound audio/visual sources (like DVDs and LDs). Most Advanced Surround modes are designed to be used with film soundtracks, but some modes are also suited for music sources. Try different settings with various soundtracks to see which you like.

Sports (SPORTS)

This is designed for sports programs with alot of action, adding to the excitement by bringing background action to the forefront.

Game (GAME)

Useful when playing video games. It works especially well with sound moving from left to right in game software with alot of movement.

Expanded (EXPANDED)

This mode is especially designed to give sound depth to stereo sources, and lets you hear two-channel (stereo) signals as simulated multi-channel surround sound. Use with Dolby Pro Logic for a stereo surround effect. You can also use with Dolby Digital sources for a wider stereo field than the STANDARD modes.

Depending on the source and the sound mode you have selected, you may not get sound from the surround back speakers in your setup. For more on this, refer to

Using the Virtual Surround Back mode (VSB) on page 40 and Using the Surround Back Channel (SB CH) on page 39.

Advanced Movie (ADV. MOVIE)

Simulates the relaxed environment of a movie theater, and is suitable for watching movies.

Advanced Music (ADV. MUSIC)

Simulates the acoustic environment of a large concert hall and is suitable for music or musical sources.

6-Channel Stereo (6-STEREO)

This can be selected to give multi-channel sound to a stereo source, using all of the speakers in your setup.

The AUTO setting automatically switches to DIGITAL if a digital source is detected, otherwise the signal select will be ANALOG.

DVD 5.1ch (VSX-D712) and DVD 7.1ch (VSXD812/D912) will only appear when DVD/LD is selected.

When set to DIGITAL or AUTO, 2 DIGITAL lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input, and DTS lights when a DTS signal is input.

This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz–96 kHz) and DTS digital signal formats (however, only the VSX-D812 and VSX-D912 can decode DTS 96kHz/24 bit signal formats). With other digital signal formats, set to ANALOG.

You may get digital noise when a LD or CD player compatible with DTS is playing an analog signal. To prevent noise, make the proper digital connections (page 17) 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.

Using the Virtual Surround Back mode (VSB)

Selecting this mode allows you to hear a virtual 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 have the receiver only apply this effect to 6.1 encoded sources like Dolby Digital EX or DTSES (VSB AUTO), or you can simply switch it off (VSB OFF).

The table indicates when you will hear the virtual surround back channel.

• Press SB CH MODE (front panel) repeatedly to cycle the virtual surround back channel options.

Each press cycles through the options as follows:

VSB ON

Speaker setting

Default setting: FL-CS-SS (If a subwoofer is detected when you turn the receiver on, the default is FS-CS-SS.)

You must let the receiver know how many speakers you have, and how big they are. The size you choose (large or small) determines how much bass is sent from the receiver to the speakers.

In the display, F, C, and S refer to front, center, and surround speakers respectively. Speaker size is denoted as L for large speakers, S for small speakers, and (asterisk) if no speaker is connected.

If the cone size (diameter) of the speaker is larger than 15 cm, set the speaker size to L.

If you’re not using a subwoofer, we recommend setting the front speakers to

L.

Cycle through the available choices using or and choose a configuration that matches your speaker setup.

Surround back speaker setting

Default setting: S (VSX-D812/D912), (VSX-D712)

You must let the receiver know if surround back speaker(s) have been connected, and how big they are. The size you choose (large or small) determines how much bass is sent from the receiver to the speakers. If you have connected a surround back subwoofer (VSXD812/D912), you should select the surround back subwoofer setting (SB SW) from the options. Choose (asterisk) if no speaker is connected.

• Use or to select SB S, SB , SB SW or SB L.

* VSX-D812/D912 only

If you chose the small front speaker setting, SW YES is automatically set and locked.

When you select the PLUS setting, you will get the bass sounds from the subwoofer even if the front speakers are set to L.

Crossover frequency setting

• Default setting: 100 Hz

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 speakers).

07

07 Setting up

We recommend setting this to 200Hz if your S speakers are smaller bookshelf-type speakers.

• Use or to specify the crossover frequency for your small speakers (100 Hz, 150 Hz or 200 Hz).

100Hz 150Hz

200Hz

100Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 100 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

150Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 150 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

200Hz

Sends bass frequencies below 200 Hz to the subwoofer (or L speakers).

• Use or to set the attenuation level (0 dB, 10 dB or dB()).

(displays )

When is selected ( appears in the display), LFE cannot be heard.

Front left speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 2 m

Sets the distance from the front left speaker to the listening position.

• Use or to set the distance of the front left speaker from the main listening position (within the range of 0.1 m to 9.0 m).

If all speakers (front, center, and surround) are set to L, the crossover frequency can’t be set because there are

no S speakers ( appears in the display).

LFE attenuator setting

• Default setting: 0 dB

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.

Center speaker distance setting

• Default setting: 2 m

The center speaker is normally placed directly in the front of the listening room and closer to the listening position than the front speakers. This means that the sound from the center speaker will be heard before the front speakers. To prevent this, set the center speaker distance setting to delay the sound from the center speaker so that the sound from the front and center speakers will be heard at the same time.
