Easy Setup Guide Part1
Home Theater: The Basics
PREPARATION
1) Your Home System
The heart of your system is the VSX-D2011 receiver and it is very flexible in getting you theater-like surround sound.
You can use this receiver with anywhere from two to seven speakers (front left, front right, center, surround left and
right, and surround back left and right) and a subwoofer to get home theater surround sound. We recommend you use
seven speakers and a subwoofer. If this is not possible follow the instructions in "Auto Surround Setup" in the "Easy
Setup Guide Part 2" and you will still be able to get good surround sound. Also, a DVD player is essential for home
theater and you can also hook up satellite or cable TV tuner to this receiver and get a more home theater-like sound
from these sources.
To listen to music in stereo simply choose the STEREO listening mode. Other possibilities (like listening to a stereo CD
with all seven speakers or taking a stereo source and getting multichannel home theater-like sound) are explained in
listening modes (pages 46–48).
Conclusion
These are the three basic factors that contribute to your home theater sound. The easiest thing is to hook up seven
speakers and a subwoofer and simply play your DVDs with PRO LOGIC II MOVIE listening mode. This will give you
realistic and enjoyable home theater sound. First hook up your equipment, like your DVD player, TV and speakers. Then
follow the Easy Setup Guide instructions to set up your system for surround sound. It is very important you do one of
the surround sound setups to get optimal sound from your receiver.
For more details on any of the information presented here check the main section of the manual.

En
Easy Setup Guide Part1
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.
Digital Connections
Some DVD players have both coaxial and optical terminals, but there is no need to connect both. If your DVD
player has a coaxial terminal (not a PCM-only output) for the audio out hook it up using this terminal. Follow the
diagram below. This is the best scenario, as you will be able to follow the default settings of this receiver and
won't need to assign the digital inputs (you should use DIGITAL IN 3).
If your DVD player only has an optical terminal for the audio output you can hook it up using one of the DIGITAL
IN terminals between 1-2 (for example, DIGITAL IN 2). In this case, you will need to assign the digital input
(which means tell the receiver which input you used for your DVD digital audio). See page 12 for this.

memo • We recommend speakers with a nominal impedance rated 8 Ω-16 Ω, but you can change the
speaker impedance setting of the receiver (see page 26).
• If you only have one surround back speaker hook it up to the left surround back terminal.
• If you use 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.
• When you attached your speaker wire to the speaker terminal make sure that not even one strand
of wire touches the back of the receiver. If this happens it could short out the receiver.

1 Make sure the receiver, your TV, your subwoofer and your DVD player
are switched ON.
2 Press the DVD/LD button on the remote control.
You should see DVD/LD in the display on the receiver.
3 Play a DVD then adjust the MASTER VOLUME.
memo To get a more refined sound, make the sound settings in "Expert setup" (see page 95).
If you're having trouble getting surround sound playback look at this Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ) guide:
Q1: Even though I'm playing a DVD I'm not getting 5.1 channel playback.
A1: Either the DVD is not set for digital output, or the Dolby Digital/DTS output settings are not
correct.
Set the DVD player to output a digital signal and set the Dolby Digital and DTS output properly. If you are
unsure how to do this check the DVD initial setup in the manual that came with your DVD player.
Q2: There is no sound from the subwoofer or it is very low.
A2: There is a good possibility you haven't reached a part of the DVD that has an LFE channel
(which feeds the subwoofer) yet. The LFE channel only appears in selected parts of the
soundtrack. Continue playing and listen for the subwoofer.
If you want to hear more sound from the subwoofer set it to PLUS (see page 40 for more information and
consult the memo on page 41).

Connecting Your Equipment
Connecting your TV
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.
Connect your TV to the jacks as shown below. Hook up with either component video, S video, or compos-
ite video cords (the quality descends in this order) but you must use the same type of video cords to
hook up your DVD player (and all other video components) as you use to hook up your TV. If you
plan to hook up your DVD player with component video cords hook up your TV with them as well but in
this case you must also hook up your TV with composite video or S video cords because you won't be
able to see the receiver's on-screen displays with a component video hook up. Composite video cords,
which look just like regular RCA audio cords (see page 20) but have only one cable are the most common.

Composite Video
Composite video cords are the most common or standard video cord but also
the lowest quality. The color on the connector is yellow to distinguish it from
regular RCA audio cords which have white and red connectors (see page 20).
It is important to use a true composite video cord and not an audio cord
(though they look exactly the same) because the impedance is different and
this will affect the picture quality.

quality descends in this order) but you must use the same type of cord as you used to hook up
your TV.
For the audio signal, in order to use digital soundtracks like Dolby Digital or DTS you must hook up a digital
input, with either a coaxial or optical cord (see pages 22 & 23). It is also a good idea to hook up your
components with analog audio connections as well.
If you want to record from your DVD player composite (or S video) cord connections and analog audio
connections are necessary.
PREPARATION
Connecting a DVD player
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from
the AC outlet.
Hook up your audio signal with either a coaxial or optical digital cords (you don't need to do both). If you
hook up your DVD/LD player using component video cable connections you might need to setup your
DVD player for component video output as well. See your DVD manual for details. If you have a DVD-
Audio or Super Audio CD (SACD) compatible player, see "Connecting to the Multi Channel Analog Inputs"
on page 21.
You need to hook up your audio with analog connections as well.

Be sure to insert completely and in the case of
the optical cable, right-side up. If it is inserted
improperly it can break the shutter on the

connection or insertion of an optical cable).
PREPARATION
Digital Input Default Settings
Unlike analog connections, the jacks for digital connections are not dedicated to one type of component,
they can be used freely. Thus you must tell the receiver what digital component is connected to which
jack so your components will be in sync with the names on the remote control buttons and the like. To
avoid having to assign the digital inputs you can hook up your equipment in accordance with the receiver's
default settings.
The default settings are:
DIGITAL IN 1 (optical): TV/SAT
DIGITAL IN 2 (optical): CD-R/TAPE1
DIGITAL IN 3 (coaxial): DVD/LD
DIGITAL IN 4 (coaxial): CD
See "Assigning the Digital Inputs" on page 91 if the way you hook up your equipment is different from the
default settings listed here.

everyone's home setup will vary. Simply connect the speakers you have in the manner described below.
One of the latest features of home theater is the use of surround back speakers. These speakers add
even greater realism in movie sound effects and some new discs with soundtracks in Dolby Digital or DTS
incorporate these channels. See page 27 for speaker placement.
In general, make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the R terminal and the speaker on the left
to the L terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/–) terminals on the receiver match those on
the speakers.
• We recommend speakers with a nominal impedance rated 8 Ω-16 Ω, but you can change the

• If you only have one surround back speaker hook it up to the left surround back
terminal.
• If you use 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.

Setting Up for Surround Sound
To ensure the best possible surround sound, complete the following setup operations. Some of these are the
same (and take precedence over) the settings you made in the Easy Setup Guide, so consider if the ones you
made at that time were adequate. If you feel they were, move on to the next setting in this section.
These setup operations use on-screen displays (OSDs) on your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure
your TV and receiver are properly hooked up and that your TV is set to this receiver. You need to connect the
setup mic to the front panel of the receiver so that it can measure the sound and ensure the proper settings. For
more information on the mic hookup see page 13. Use the arrow buttons (5∞) and the ENTER button on the
remote control to navigate the OSDs on your TV. Conversely, you can use the MULTI JOG dial and ENTER
button, and look at the display, on the Front Panel.

• When DIGITAL signal is selected, 2 DIGITAL lights when a Dolby Digital signal is input; DTS lights when a
DTS signal is input.
• If no digital inputs are assigned (see page 91) you can only choose ANALOG in the SIGNAL SELECT.
• Because the audio signal from a karaoke microphone and LDs are recorded with analog audio only, they are
not output from the digital outputs. Set SIGNAL SELECT to ANALOG to listen to these formats.
BASIC
• When an LD with DTS is played back with the SIGNAL SELECT set in ANALOG, digital noise caused by
playing back the DTS signal directly (with no decoding) is output. To prevent noise, you need to make digital
connections (See pages 22 & 23) and set SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO or DIGITAL.
• Some DVD players don’t output DTS signals. For more details, refer to the instruction manual supplied with
your DVD player.
• This receiver can only play back Dolby Digital, PCM (32kHz, 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz and 96kHz sampling
frequency), and DTS digital signal formats. If your source is not one of these select ANALOG for playback.
45
En
Basic Operation
Listening Modes
The three listening mode types on the receiver are explained here (to select listening modes see page 44).
The kind of playback you can get in the three modes depends on what kind of a source (DVD, etc.) you are
using. The basic distinction is between 2 channel sources and multichannel sources. The MOVIE and MUSIC
modes that are available to you will also differ according to your source and which SB CH MODE you choose.
This is explained below as well.
For home theater the MOVIE and MUSIC listening modes are designed to deliver realistic and powerful
multichannel surround sound that recreates the movie theater or concert experience. The first four MOVIE
modes (THX CINEMA, 2PRO LOGIC II (MOVIE), 2PRO LOGIC, NEO:6 CINEMA) and first two MUSIC modes
(2PRO LOGIC II MUSIC, NEO:6 MUSIC) incorporate pure decoding of the signal. That is they present it as it
was recorded in the sound studio. The other modes are DSP modes. They add some type of effect to the signal.
You may need to experiment with these modes to see which suit your home system and personal tastes.
The MUSIC and STEREO modes are designed to be used with music sources but some MUSIC modes are also
suitable for film soundtracks. Again, try different modes with various soundtracks to see which you like but you
must choose one of the MOVIE and MUSIC listening modes in order to get surround sound.
Depending on your setup, in STEREO mode only the front two speakers, and sometimes the subwoofer (if you
have one), are used.
STEREO modes
When a source is played in this mode, it plays 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.
STEREO
In STEREO mode the audio plays according to the surround setup settings and you can still use ACOUSTIC
CALIBRATION EQ, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, HI-BIT HI-SAMPLING mode, and TONE Control
functions.
DIRECT
In DIRECT mode, the audio bypasses all types of signal processing to remain as close to the source audio
quality as possible.
memo If you switch on ACOUSTIC CALIBRATION EQ, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS, HI-BIT HI-
SAMPLING mode, and TONE Control when DIRECT is selected, the receiver automatically
switches to STEREO.

Recording from Audio/Video Components
The following explanations show you how make a recording from one component to another connected to this receiver.
Note that an analog recorder (such as a VCR) cannot record from a source that is connected using only a digital
connection. Likewise, a digital recorder (such as a CD-R) cannot record digitally from a component that is connected using
only analog connections. In both of these cases, make sure that the digital component also has analog connections to the
receiver, and that the SIGNAL SELECT is set to ANALOG.
When recording from one digital component to another, bear in mind that the digital signal output from this receiver
mirrors the input from the source. So if the input is, say, Dolby Digital, the output will also be Dolby Digital. Before
recording, make sure that the recorder is compatible with the source digital audio format.
See page 20 for more on analog audio connections and pages 22–23 for digital audio connections.
• The receiver's volume, channel level, balance, TONE, DIGITAL NR, MIDNIGHT, LOUDNESS,
memo ACOUSTIC EQ and surround effects have no effect on the recorded signal, except in PHONO. Thus
when recording in PHONO function DIRECT is best used.
• In some cases, digital recordings have copy guard protections and making a digital copy is not pos-
sible. In this case you can only copy them in an analog manner.
• Some video recordings are copy-protected; these sources cannot be recorded.
• When recording video, the source must be connected to the receiver using the same type of video
cord (composite, or S video) as you used to connect the recorder to the receiver.

Multi Operations
Multi operations allow you to tell the receiver and your other components to do a number of things with the
push of only two buttons on the remote control (see "Performing Multi Operations" on the next page). For
example, you can program the unit to turn on your TV, turn on your DVD player and start playing the loaded
DVD. This allows you to freely decide which operations you want performed as well as the order in which you
want them performed. The steps below show you how to program a string of up to 5 different operations for
each MULTI CONTROL button. You don't need to program the power of this receiver (or any PIONEER
component used) to go on, it (or they) will do so automatically when multi operations are performed.

These settings are more advanced. Some could add depth or listenability to your sound (like the THX CINEMA
setup) and others are for your convenience (like the FUNCTION RENAME). You can decide if you want to make
these settings or not. They are not crucial to good surround sound. You only need to make these settings once
(unless you change the placement of your current speaker system, add new speakers or components to your
system, etc.). These setup operations use your TV to display the settings and choices so be sure your TV and
receiver are properly hooked up. Use the arrow buttons (5∞) and the ENTER button on the remote control
to navigate the OSDs on your TV. Conversely, you can use the MULTI JOG dial and ENTER button, and

The settings here can only be done if you've performed the more basic preliminary setups. Thus, before doing
these settings do either AUTO setup (page 13–15), QUICK setup (page 38) or NORMAL setup (page 39-43).
These settings are to further heighten your surround sound. They are not absolutely necessary but may give
more defined and enjoyable surround sound. You can decide if you want to make these settings or not. You only
need to make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system, add new
speakers or components to your system, etc.). These setup operations use your TV to display the settings and

Crossover frequency is the point where the receiver divides the high and low sounds (the frequencies) between
the speakers. Certain bass sounds will play back from the subwoofer if you selected it as YES (or PLUS) or from
the front speakers if you selected them as LARGE. This setting decides where the cutoff will be between those
bass sounds playing back from the speaker selected as above and the bass sounds for the entire soundtrack,
which play back from all speakers used.
If all speakers are set to LARGE (see pages 40–41) this setup is unnecessary.

ACOUSTIC CAL EQ
This setting is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers and is set automatically if you did the AUTO
SURROUND SOUND SETUP (see pages 13–15), which we strongly recommend. It balances the frequency
response between your speakers. In order to follow the instructions in this section you should have done AUTO
SURROUND SOUND SETUP on pages 13–15.
This receiver lets you choose between two types of ACOUSTIC CAL EQ equalizer curves: ALL CH ADJUST and
FRONT ALIGN, with the former equalizing the speakers individually and the latter equalizing the speakers in
accordance with the front speakers. Features here allow you to put in your own equalizer preferences. To do
this use the DATA COPY feature to copy the settings in ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN modes and paste
them into CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2. You then choose between the ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN types
of curves and increase the amount of a certain frequency in each speaker in accordance with your preferences.
When you playback a source you can choose CUSTOM 1 or CUSTOM 2 to apply your preferences to playback.
When setting up using the ALL CH ADJUST mode you can adjust each speaker individually. With the FRONT
ALIGN mode the front speakers will serve as the reference so you cannot adjust them.
The DATA CHECK feature allows you to see how the settings in ALL CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN currently
stand.
When you use ACOUSTIC CAL EQ function (see page 50) you can toggle between the two basic settings, ALL
CH ADJUST and FRONT ALIGN, and the variations you set yourself, CUSTOM 1 and CUSTOM 2.

Dolby Digital
Dolby Digital is a discrete digital surround format used for multichannel surround sound. It was developed after
the Dolby Surround system and Dolby Pro Logic Surround system. Dolby Digital is a high quality digital sound
format that is used by many theatrical film releases.
Soundtracks using linear PCM audio generate too much
5.1 channel 4 channel analog data for multichannel use. Dolby Digital technology was
developed in response to the need for efficient
multichannel digital sound. It uses masking technology and
Adaptive Transform Coding, resulting in no audible loss of
sound quality. In the present age of digital sound Dolby
Digital is a standard audio format for DVD and has been
adopted by HDTV broadcasts throughout the USA.
Other features include:
1) Downmixing on playback for compatibility with mono,
stereo, Dolby Pro Logic and 5.1 channel audio.
Dolby 2) A wide range of bitrates and channels.
Digital 3) Decoding dynamic range information and adjusting the
dialog level in the soundtrack (called Dialog Normalization,
Dolby Digital for movie
see below for more information).

This unit has a three Dolby Pro Logic II functions. The first is "MOVIE Mode" (suitable for film soundtracks);
"MUSIC Mode" (suitable for music); "Pro Logic Mode" (this mode is less sensitive to the quality of the source
material, so may be useful when MOVIE Mode or MUSIC Mode do not give good results). One can select one
of them depending on your soundtrack of choice.

DTS
DTS
DTS has been adopted as a sound recording format in the movie theaters since the release of “JURASSIC
PARK” in 1993, and has a good reputation for high quality sound and dynamic surround effects.
In this system, 6 channels of digital sound are recorded on CD-ROM. DTS adopts a simultaneous playback
format. With a low rate of compression of sound signals and a high rate of transmittance, a higher sound quality
format is produced. For this reason, the format is being introduced in more and more movie theaters, and is
being adopted for home use as DTS Digital Surround. When used with movies it's called DTS-LD DVD and for
music software (5.1 channel CD) as DTS-CD .
DTS-ES
DTS launched a new surround format in November 2000. This has come to be known as DTS Extended
Surround or simply DTS-ES. The technology has been advanced to include two new home formats DTS-ES
Discrete 6.1 format, and DTS-ES Matrix 6.1 ch format, both are able to playback discrete, 6.1-channel content
from DVDs and CDs. Both of these formats are compatible with a conventional DTS 5.1 ch decoder. In this
system each channel is encoded and decoded individually, adding to the separation of the channels. Since DTS
adds a third surround channel, the surround back channel, the realism and all-encompassing nature of the sound
reaches levels not seen before in home theater. This unit is equipped with a DTS-ES decoder.
DTS Neo:6
This is a matrix decoding technology that transforms two-channel sources into 6.0 channel surround sound.
There are two modes, CINEMA MODE and MUSIC MODE.
DTS 96/24
This high-quality format will be used for software which will be available from November, 2001. For compatibility
with equipment that was produced before this format was made, DVD players can play this software using a
conventional DTS 5.1ch decoder. This unit is equipped with a DTS 96 kHz/24 bit decoder to take advantage of
the higher sound quality available.

THX
THX is a Lucasfilm, Ltd. program dedicated to maximum accuracy in movie presentation. Movie sound tracks are
recorded in large movie dubbing stages using movie theater equipment. For a sound track to be presented
accurately in your home, special technologies are required. In your home the room is much smaller and has a
bright sound, the speakers are very different and there are only six-eight of them, plus, you sit much closer to
each one of those speakers. Because of these differences we often miss the power and emotion that thrills us
in a good movie. Now Pioneer and THX have teamed up to bring the full glory of accurate cinema sound to the
comfort and convenience of your home.
Re-Equalization™ : In a theater the room is very large and dead sounding, you sit a long way back from the
speakers and the speakers themselves are very specialized. Because a sound track recorded in this dead
sounding space when it is played at home it sounds overbright. THX Re-Equalization adjusts for this difference in
a very precise way.
Adaptive Decorrelation™ : When a sound track sends mono sound to the surround speakers it often seems to
be coming come from one side instead of from all around you as it would in a theater. Adaptive Decorrelation
helps to correct this inaccuracy.
Timbre Matching™ : When recording a sound track it is very important that the surround sounds move
smoothly and seamlessly around the theater. It is very distracting when sounds seem to jump from speaker to
speaker. Timbre Matching helps to smooth the movement of the surround sounds even though you are using
only two speakers.
Bass Peak Level Manager™ : Some Dolby Digital sound tracks can produce bass peaks that are undesirable in
a home theater environment. The Bass Peak Level Manager allows you to set the maximum peak levels
appropriate to your system. (Set this function according to the Bass Peak Level instructions on page 102.)
Loudspeaker Position Time Synchronization™ : This feature allows you to adjust for the difference in the
distance from each individual loudspeaker to the listening position. Doing this ensures that all the speakers
operate in precise synchronization improving the seamless nature of the soundfield. (Set this function according
to the Channel Delay or Fine Channel Delay instructions on pages 43 and 98, respectively.)
THX Surround EX™ : THX Surround EX–Dolby Digital Surround EX is a joint development of Dolby Laboratories
and the THX division of Lucasfilm 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.
When released to the home consumer market, movies that were created using the Dolby Digital Surround EX
technology, may have a note to that effect on the packaging. A list of movies created using this technology can
be found on the Dolby web site at http://www.dolby.com.
Only receiver 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.
