Setting Up For Surround Sound - Pioneer Elite VSX-47TX Operating Instructions Manual

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 Quick Start Guide, so consider if the ones you
made at that time were adequate. If you feel they were, move on to the next setting here. You only need to
make these settings once (unless you change the placement of your current speaker system or add new
speakers, etc.). 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 remote control, with its built in 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 remote control hookup see page 13.

In each mode, the current settings are displayed. W e
suggest you adjust all these settings when you first hook
up the receiver. That gets them out of the way and you
won't need to return to this setting mode unless you
change your home set up by adding new speakers (etc.).
SPEAKER SYSTEMS (See p.36-37)
Use to specify the type and number of speakers you
connected.
CHANNEL DELAY (See p.38)
You must add distance settings to all your speakers for the
most realistic surround sound. Adding a slight delay to
some speakers enhances sound separation and is particu-
larly important for achieving a surround sound effect. You
need to figure out the distance from your listening position
to your speakers to add the proper delay.
CHANNEL LEVEL (See p.39-40)
Use to balance the volumes of your different speakers.
ACOUSTIC CALIBRATION (See p.41)
This setting is a kind of room equalizer for your speakers.
