[. . . ] If the plug contains a removable fuse cover, you must ensure that it is refitted when the fuse is replaced. If you lose the fuse cover the plug must not be used until a replacement cover is obtained. A replacement fuse cover can be obtained from your local dealer. If the fitted moulded plug is unsuitable for your socket outlet, then the fuse shall be removed and the plug cut off and disposed of safely. [. . . ] SLEEP Press to change the amount of time before the receiver switches into standby (30 min ­ 60 min ­ 90 min ­ Off). You can check the remaining sleep time at any time by pressing SLEEP once. 12 SOURCE Turns on or off the power of the Pioneer DVD/ DVR units when BD DVD or DVR is selected using the MULTI CONTROL buttons. 13 TV CONTROL buttons These buttons can control only be used with Pioneer flat screen TVs. The input name, listening mode or sound volume can be checked by selecting an input source. 17 SHIFT Press to access the `boxed' commands (above the buttons) on the remote. These buttons are marked with an asterisk (* ) in this section. This button is also used for operating ZONE 2 (page 38). Listening to your system Listening to your system important · The listening modes and many features described in this section may not be available depending on the current source, settings and status of the receiver. Listening in surround sound Using this receiver, you can listen to any source in surround sound. However, the options available will depend on your speaker setup and the type of source you're listening to. Use the Stream Direct modes when you want to hear the truest possible reproduction of a source. 2 There are cases where a brief noise is heard before playback of sources other than PCM. Listening to your system This receiver's Phase Control feature uses phase correction measures to make sure your sound source arrives at the listening position in phase, preventing unwanted distortion and/or coloring of the sound (see illustration below). During multichannel playback, LFE (LowFrequency Effects) signals as well as lowfrequency signals in each channel are assigned to the subwoofer or other the subwoofer and the most appropriate speaker. At least in theory, however, this type of processing involves a group delay that varies with frequency, resulting in phase distortion where the low-frequency sound is delayed or muffled by the conflict with other channels. With the Phase Control mode switched on, this receiver can reproduce powerful bass sound without deteriorating the quality of the original sound (see illustration below). Phase Control technology provides coherent sound reproduction through the use of phase matching1 for an optimal sound image at your listening position. The default setting is on and we recommend leaving Phase Control switched on for all sound sources. 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 (as shown in the upper section of the diagram above) then the sound will be `out of phase' and an unreliable sound image will be produced. [. . . ] Check that the positive/negative speaker terminals on the receiver are matched with the corresponding terminals on the speakers (see correctly, but the playback Connecting the speakers on page 17). Operate within 7 m, 30° of the remote sensor on the front panel (refer to page 6). If the problem still persists when connecting your HDMI component directly to your monitor, please consult the component or monitor manual or contact the manufacturer for support. ⷠDepending in the output settings of the source component, it may be outputting a video format that can't be displayed.
