DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION
IMPORTANT 1
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO
NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-
SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO
QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in
the literature accompanying the appliance.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the
product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude
to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
IMPORTANT 2
Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal of a
three - pin plug.
NOTE
After replacing or changing a fuse, the fuse cover in the
plug must be replaced with a fuse cover which corre-
sponds to the colour of the insert in the base of the plug
or the word that is embossed on the base of the plug, and
the appliance must not be used without a fuse cover. If
lost replacement fuse covers can be obtained from:
your dealer.
Only 5 A fuses approved by B.S.I. or A.S.T.A. to B.S.
1362 should be used.
The cut-off plug should be disposed of and must not be
inserted into any 13 amp socket as this can result in electric
shock. The plug or adaptor or the distribution panel should
be provided with 5 amp fuse. As the colours of the wires in
the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with
coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug,
proceed as follows :
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected
to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured
red.
FOR USE IN THE UNITED
KINGDOM
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code :
Blue
: Neutral
Brown
: Live
If the plug provided is unsuitable for your socket
outlets, the plug must be cut off and a suitable plug
fitted.
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 ref-
erence.
In some countries or regions, the shape of the
power plug and power outlet may sometimes dif-
fer from that shown in the explanatory drawings.
However, the method of connecting and operating
the unit is the same.
Power cord CAUTION!
Handle the power cord by the plug. Do not pull
out the plug by tugging the cord and never
touch the power cord when your hands are wet
as this could cause a short circuit or electric
shock. Do not place the unit, a piece of
furniture, etc., on the power cord, or pinch the
cord. Never make a knot in the cord or tie it with
other cords. The power cords should be routed
such that they are not likely to be stepped on. A
damaged power cord can cause a fire or give
you an electrical shock. Check the power cord
once in a while. When you find it damaged, ask
your nearest PIONEER authorized service center
or your dealer for a replacement.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.

Please check that you've received the following supplied
accessories:
· AM loop antenna
· FM wire antenna
· Dry cell batteries (AA Size / IEC R6P) x2
· Remote control unit
· Operating instructions
Using this Manual
This manual is for the VSX-D710S/D810S audio/video
multi-channel receivers.
It is divided into two main sections:
Set up
This section covers installing your receiver and connect-
ing up all the other components in your home theater
system to it. It also describes how to set up a multi-
channel speaker system to take full advantage of the
great surround sound features of your receiver.
Operation
This section shows you how to use every feature of the
receiver and its remote control unit. It also covers using
the supplied remote control to operate your other home
theater components. To find out more about a specific
button, control or indicator, see Displays & Controls
starting on page 21. This will point you to the relevant
chapter in the manual.
In the Additional Information section (p.50-51) you'll
find a troubleshooting section and specifications.
Installing the Receiver
Ventilation
· When installing this unit, make sure to leave space
around the unit for ventilation to improve heat
radiation (at least 60 cm at the top, 10 cm at the rear,
and 30 cm at each side). If not enough space is
provided between the unit and walls or other
equipment, heat will build up inside, interfering with
performance or causing malfunctions.
· Do not place on a thick carpet, bed, sofa or fabric
having a thick pile. Do not cover with fabric or
othercovering.Anything that blocks ventilation will
cause the internal temperature to rise, which may
lead to breakdown or fire hazard.
When Making Cable
Connections
Be careful not to arrange cables in a manner that bends
the cables over the top of this unit. If the cables are laid
on top of the unit, the magnetic field produced by the
transformers in this unit may cause a humming noise to
come from the speakers.
Loading the Batteries
Dry Cell Batteries
(AA Size / IEC R6P)
× 2
CAUTION:
Incorrect use of batteries may result in such hazards as
leakage and bursting. Observe the following precautions:
· Never use new and old batteries together.
· Insert the plus and minus sides of the batteries
properly according to the marks in the battery case.
· Batteries of the same shape may have different
voltages. Do not use different batteries together.
· When disposing of used batteries, please comply
with governmental regulations or environmental
public institution's rules that apply in your country or
area.
Operating Range of the
Remote Control Unit
The remote control may not work properly if:
· There are obstacles between the remote control and
the receiver's remote sensor.
· Direct sunlight or fluorescent light is shining onto the
remote sensor.
· The receiver is located near a device that is emitting
infrared rays.
· The receiver is operated simultaneously with another
infrared remote control unit.

Digital Audio Cords/Optical
Cables
Commercially available digital audio coaxial cords
(standard video cords can also be used) or optical cables
(not supplied) are used to connect digital components to
this receiver.
When you use optical digital input or output terminals,
pull off the caps and insert the plugs. Be sure to insert
completely.
Digital audio cord
(or standard video cord)
Optical cable
Audio/Video Cords
Use audio/video cords (not supplied) to make analog
audio and video connections.
Connect red plugs to R (right), white plugs to L (left),
and the yellow plugs to VIDEO.
Be sure to insert completely.
Connecting Digital Components
In order to use PCM/2

2
2
2 Digital/DTS soundtracks, you need to make digital audio connections.
You can do this by either coaxial or optical connections (you do not 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, it is a matter of
matching like with like (for example, the coaxial out from the component to coaxial in on the receiver). The VSX-
D710S has a coaxial input and two optical inputs for a total of three digital inputs. The VSX-D810S has a coaxial
input and three optical inputs for a total of four digital inputs. Connect your digital components as shown below.
There is one digital out jack which is marked DIGITAL OUT. If you connect this to the optical input on a digital
recorder (currently these include MD, DAT and CD-R) you can make direct digital recordings with this unit.
When connecting your equipment, always make sure the power is turned off and the power cord is disconnected
from the wall outlet.
Before making or changing the connections, switch off the power and disconnect the power cord from the AC wall
outlet.
