Thank you for buying this Pioneer product.
Please read through these operating instructions
so you will know how to operate your model prop-
erly. After you have finished reading the instruc-
tions, put them away in a safe place for future
reference.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
THE OFF/ON BUTTON IS SECONDARY CONNECTED
AND THEREFORE DOES NOT SEPARATE THE UNIT
FROM MAINS POWER IN STANDBY POSITION.
If the socket outlets on the associated equipment
are not suitable for the plug supplied with the
product the plug must be removed and
appropriate one fitted.
The cut-off plug must be disposed of as an
electrical shock hazard could exist if connected to
a socket outlet.
TWO VOLTAGE SELECTOR SWITCHES (Except Singaporean model)
Only multi-voltage model is provided with this switch. Mains
voltages in Saudi Arabia are 127 V and 220 V only. Never use
this model with the 110 V setting in Saudi Arabia.
The line voltage selector switches are on the rear panel. Check that they
are set properly before plugging the power cord into the household wall
socket. If the voltage is not properly set or if you move to an area where
the voltage requirements differ, adjust the selector switches as follows.
1. Use a medium-size screwdriver.
2. First, insert the screwdriver in the groove of the voltage
selector upper, and adjust so that the tip of the groove
points to the voltage value of your area.
3. Next, insert the screwdriver in the groove of the voltage
selector lower and adjust until the voltage is the same
as at the right.

Quick Start Guide
(not a PCM-only output)
This is a quick guide to setting up your new receiver so you can get home theater surround sound. For
more details on any of the information presented here check the main section of the manual.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord
from the AC wall outlet.

1 Hooking Up Your DVD Player & TV
In order to use Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG soundtracks which are at the heart of home theater you need to
hook up your DVD player with digital audio connections. You can do this by either a coaxial or an optical
connection, you don't need to do both. The quality of these two types of connections is the same but
since some digital components only have one type of digital terminal you need to figure out which yours
has and hook it up to the appropriate terminal on the receiver. In order to do this you will need the proper
cable. For coaxial connections you can use a regular RCA stereo cord or the specially-made coaxial cords,
they have the same type of plugs. For optical connections you will need a special optical cord which you
can buy at your local stereo store. Also hook up the video connection of your DVD player, the analog audio
(for recording the audio on DVDs, use regular RCA stereo cords), and your TV (it's easiest to use regular
composite RCA video cords) as shown below. It is important that you hook up your TV (or monitor) in
order to see a video image as well as the on screen displays (OSDs) shown by the VSX-D859TX/D859TXG
(for more on p.16). We also recommend hooking up all your digital components to analog audio jacks as
well. For this you can use regular RCA stereo cords.
Digital Connection
If your DVD player has a coaxial terminal (not a PCM-only output) for the audio out hook up the receiver
using that terminal. This is the best scenario, as you will be able to follow the default settings of this
receiver and won't need to assign the digital inputs. If your DVD player has an optical terminal (not a PCM-
only output) for the audio out you can hook up the receiver using that terminal. You will need to assign the digital
input (tell the receiver which input you put your DVD digital audio into). See p. 5 for this.
For either optical or
coaxial connections follow the diagram below to make a digital connection between your DVD player and
this receiver.

2 Speaker Connections
Home theater is designed to be set up with five, or seven speakers (front left & right; center; surround left &
right; and, optimally, surround back left & right) and a subwoofer but you can use this receiver with fewer
speakers.
Hook up the speakers you have to the SPEAKERS A terminals on the back of the receiver. If you only have two
speakers hook them up as FRONT. If you have three, hook up the single speaker as CENTER. Follow the
diagram below in order to hook up all your speakers. A center speaker is very important for watching films
because the dialog comes from the center speaker in digital soundtracks. If you do not have a CENTER
speaker you must tell the receiver the CENTER channel is OFF or when you listen to digital soundtracks
you won't hear any dialog. Use the instructions on p. 33 ­ 34 in order to do this.
Follow the diagram below to hook up an additional amplifier in order to use surround back speakers. These
speakers are important to hear all the sound channels on new, eight channel home theater DVDs. The diagram
below also explains how to hook up a subwoofer which provides realistic bass sounds.
Make sure you connect the speaker on the right to the right terminal and the speaker on the left to the left
terminal. Also make sure the positive and negative (+/­) terminals on the amplifier match those on the speakers.
