Additional information
Professional Calibration EQ graphical output
Symptom
Remedy
The reverb characteristics
graph after EQ calibration does
not appear entirely flat.
There are cases where the graph does not appear flat (even when selecting
ALL CH ADJ in the Auto MCACC Setup) due to adjustments made to compen-
sate for room characteristics to achieve optimal sound.
Areas of the graph may appear identical (before and after) when there is little
or no adjustment needed.
The graph may appear to have shifted vertically when comparing before and
after measurements.
EQ adjustments made using
the Manual MCACC setup
do not appear to change the
reverb characteristics graph
after EQ calibration.
Despite level adjustments being made, the filters used for analysis may not
display these adjustments in the reverb characteristics graph after EQ calibra-
tion. However, these adjustments are taken into account by the filters dedi-
cated to overall system calibration.
Lower frequency response
curves do not seem to have
been calibrated for SMALL
speakers.
Low frequencies used in bass management (the subwoofer channel) will not
change for speakers that have been specified as SMALL in the configuration,
or do not output these frequencies.
Calibration is performed, but due to your speakers’ low frequency limitations,
no measurable sound is output for display.
Display
Symptom
Remedy
The display is dark or off.
Press DIMMER repeatedly to select a different brightness.
You can’t get DIGITAL to dis-
play when using SIGNAL SEL.
Check the digital connections and make sure that the digital inputs are
assigned correctly (see The Input Setup menu on page 36).

DIGITAL or DTS does not
light when playing Dolby/DTS
software.
These indicators do not light if playback is paused.
Check the playback (especially the digital output) settings of the source com-
ponent.
When playing Dolby Digital
or DTS sources, the receiver’s
format indicators do not light.
Check that the player is connected using a digital connection.
Make sure that the receiver is set to AUTO or DIGITAL (see Choosing the input
signal on page 47).
Check that the player isn’t set up so that Dolby Digital and DTS sources are
converted to PCM.
Ensure that if there are several audio tracks on the disc, the Dolby Digital or
DTS is selected.
When playing certain discs,
none of the receiver’s format
indicators light.
The disc may not contain 5.1/6.1 channel material. Check the disc packaging
for more on what audio tracks are recorded on the disc.
Symptom
Remedy
SC-LX85 only: Gauge (value)
does not increase with the
Precision Distance adjustment.
Check that the speakers are all in phase (make sure the positive (+) and nega-
tive (–) terminals are matched up properly).
Perform the Full Auto MCACC procedure before the Precision Distance
adjustment (see Automatically conducting optimum sound tuning (Full Auto
MCACC) on page 34).
Place the microphone accurately in the same position as when the
Full Auto MCACC procedure was performed.
Do not move the speaker used as the reference point. Also, adjust in order,
starting from the front right speaker.
When adjusting the speaker positions, do not move the speakers much; only
move them about 1 cm towards or away from the microphone.
If you forget exactly where the microphone should be positioned or if there
are problems after the procedure has been performed repeatedly, re-calibrate
the distance using the Full Auto MCACC procedure, then without moving the
microphone redo the Precision Distance adjustment.
The display shows KEY LOCK
ON when you try to make
settings.
With the receiver in standby, press u STANDBY/ON for about 10 seconds
while holding down SPEAKERS to disable the key lock.
Most recent settings have been
erased.
The power cord was disconnected from the wall while adjusting this setting.
Settings are only stored if all the zones are turned off. Turn off all the zones
before unplugging the power cord.
The various system settings
are not stored.
Do not pull out the power cord while conducting the settings. (The settings
will be stored when both the main zone and sub zone turn off. Turn off all
zones before pulling out the power cord.)
Certain listening modes or
HOME MENU items cannot be
selected.
When Operation Mode is set to Basic, the Pioneer-recommended settings
are made and not all of the functions can be used. To use all of the functions
without restrictions, set Operation Mode to Expert (see Operation Mode
Setup on page 36).
