Important

control mode in order to operate the receiver
subwoofer (make sure that the LCD displays the

Effective Sound (for optimum sound)
With the uniquely shaped high-quality speakers supplied
with this unit, the Effective Sound mode enables the
following Pioneer exclusive audio technologies designed
to maximize the real experience of sound originally
inherent in movies and music.
Turn on the Effective Sound mode under normal
circumstances to maximize the capabilities of this unit.
• Dialogue Enhancement
Clarifies dialogue in movies to make it stand out from
other background sounds.
• Dynamic Range Compression
Resuscitates detailed sound susceptible to ambient
noise to create an acoustic environment where you
feel as if you are right in the action.
• Original Channel Balance & Channel Mix
Since the orientation of the supplied speaker units is
uniquely designed, channels are mixed down and
balanced in a special manner. Also, the optimum
balance is automatically achieved according to the
contents being played back.
• Frequency Characteristic Correction
Realizes the playback characteristic optimized for
long hours of listening in addition to the added
features of the supplied speaker units.
• Stereo Playback in Surround
Outputs audio from the surround speakers while
directing vocal sound to the front channels. You can
play back stereo sources like CDs in seamless,
comfortable surround sound.
This effect is available when you play back stereo
sources in the Auto listening mode (see below).
The Effective sound mode can be turned off (activating
Direct mode) by doing the following:
• Press to switch to Direct Sound.
Press this button to switch between Effective Sound and
Direct Sound.
• When Direct Sound is selected, the DIRECT indicator
lights.
Auto listening mode
The Auto listening mode is the simplest way to listen to
any source as it was mastered: the output from the
speakers mirrors the channels in the source material.
If you set up the system for Front surround (page 6), the
Front Stage Surround modes will give the best results
(see page 26).
• Press to select the Auto listening mode.
Listening in surround sound
You can listen to stereo or multichannel sources in
surround sound. Surround sound is generated from
stereo sources using one of the Dolby Pro Logic or DTS
Neo:6 decoding modes. 1
If you set up the system for Front surround (page 6), the
Front Stage Surround modes will give the best results
(see page 26).
• Press repeatedly to select a listening mode.
The choices that appear in the display will vary according
to the type of source that’s playing. 2

Note
1 After the surround back signals of the 6.1/7.1-channel audio represented by DTS-ES are properly decoded, the original virtual surround back
function outputs the surround back signals in combination with surround signals.
2 You cannot select a mode other than Auto and Stereo while playing back DTS-HD, DTS-Express, or Dolby TrueHD (176.4 kHz/192 kHz). Also,
you cannot select DTS Neo:6 for Dolby Digital Plus or Dolby TrueHD (below 96 kHz).
