Pioneer VSX-819H-S manual Connecting an IR receiver, Switching the speaker system, Español Deutsch

Connecting up 03

•If the surround speakers cannot be set directly to the side of the listening position with a 7.1-channel system, the surround effect can be enhanced by turning off the UP Mix function (see Setting the Up Mix function on page 38).

•Try not to place the surround speakers farther away from the listening position than the front and center speakers. Doing so can weaken the surround sound effect.

Caution

•Make sure that all speakers are securely installed. This not only improves sound quality, but also reduces the risk of damage or injury resulting from speakers being knocked over or falling in the event of external shocks such as earthquakes.

Switching the speaker system

Three speaker system settings are possible using the SPEAKERS button.

•Use the SPEAKERS button on the front panel to select a speaker system setting.1

•SPB – Sound is output from the two speakers connected to speaker system B (only stereo playback is possible).

•SPAB – Sound is output from speaker system A, the two speakers in speaker system B, and the subwoofer.

Multichannel sources are downmixed only when the STEREO or A.L.C mode is selected for stereo output from speaker systems A and B.2

•SP – No sound is output from the speakers but from the headphone jack.

Connecting an IR receiver

If you keep your stereo components in a closed cabinet or shelving unit, or you wish to use the sub zone remote control in another zone, you can use an optional IR receiver (such as a Niles or Xantech unit) to control your system instead of the remote sensor on

the front panel of this receiver.3

1 Connect the IR receiver sensor to the

IR IN jack on the rear of this receiver.

Note

1The subwoofer output depends on the settings you made in Speaker Setting on page 43. However, if SPB is selected above, no sound is heard from the subwoofer (the LFE channel is not downmixed).

2You can use speakers with a normal impedance between 6 Ω and 16 Ω. However, be aware that only the front speakers and the speaker system B are set to a value between 12 Ω and 16 Ω when you select SPAB.

3• Remote operation may not be possible if direct light from a strong fluorescent lamp is shining on the IR receiver remote sensor window.

•Note that other manufacturers may not use the IR terminology. Refer to the manual that came with your component to check for IR compatibility.

•If using two remote controls (at the same time), the IR receiver’s remote sensor takes priority over the remote sensor on the front panel.
