Datasheet

Euro-SCART terminals make connecting a range of A/V components so simple. And
you can be sure of top quality data transmission at the same time. The VSX-C502-S and
VSX-C402-S/K A/V receivers each have 4 Euro-SCART terminals — 2 in/out and 2 in.
This allows for very easy, high-quality connections between the receiver and a range
of other devices, such as a DVD player, DVD recorder, VCR, TV, set-top box, game
console, etc., as shown in the accompanying illustration. It makes recording between
components a snap, such as from the set-top box to the DVD recorder or VCR.
For the best picture quality playback, the Euro-SCART terminals can handle RGB video
signals (3 in/1 out).

One interface and the whole home cinema system is at your fingertips. With the
latest SR+ interface you can integrate the A/V receiver with your new Pioneer
Plasma TV with minimum fuss. Everything you need to produce the ultimate
listening experience — receiver status and controls such as volume level,
surround mode, MCACC Setup and all initial setup features — are displayed on
the Plasma display. With SR+ interface, the Plasma TV’s Multimedia Receiver
automatically follows the input of the A/V receiver and the Plasma TV’s infrared
receptor also accepts remote commands via Pioneer A/V products using the
SR+ interface.

EASY ROOM AND SEAT SETUP
(VSX-D814, VSX-D714, VSX-D514, VSX-C402)
Now you can select your room size and seat position for maximum sound impact.
By using the Room Setup button, you can select the size of your room (large,
medium, small) and the sound will be adjusted accordingly. You’re also able to
indicate your listening position (forward, middle, back) so that the sound (delay)
can be matched to where you’re sitting.
PIONEER ORIGINAL SURROUND MODES & LISTENING MODES (MOST A/V RECEIVERS)
Pioneer A/V receivers offer a wide range of pre-defined easy-to-use Original Surround modes and listening modes to enhance the sound for
specific listening conditions and sources. 5/6/7-Channel Stereo uses all the speakers in the system to simulate a stereo feeling and create rich
original surround sound modes. 6/7-Channel Stereo mode is in effect when one or two Surround Back speakers are used; if not, 5-Channel
Stereo mode takes effect. TV Surround produces surround sound from mono or stereo TV sources, Game mode enhances video game sound,
Sports mode gives the impression of being in the middle of a sports stadium, and Phones Surround reproduces overall surround sound for
headphone listening. Advanced Movie reproduces a mid-size movie theatre environment, while Advanced Music duplicates the acoustics of a
large concert hall. Virtual Surround Back creates a highly convincing ‘phantom’ surround back sound behind the listener. Expanded Theatre
mode adds more sound depth to Dolby Surround sources, while allowing faithful reproduction of 5-channel speaker sound. Midnight Listening
mode adjusts subwoofer, rear and centre speaker levels, while enhancing delay and compressing the dynamic range, for better cinema-like
sound at a low volume.
See the charts on pages 89 — 91 for availability of modes for each receiver.
