Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.
2
Select ‘Speaker Setting’ from the Manual SP Setup
menu.
3
Choose the set of speakers that you want to set then
select a speaker size.
Use
/
to select the size (and number) of each of the
following speakers:
Front – Select LARGE if your front speakers reproduce bass
frequencies effectively, or if you didn’t connect a
subwoofer. Select SMALL to send the bass frequencies to
the subwoofer.
Center – Select LARGE if your center speaker reproduces
bass frequencies effectively, or select SMALL to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you
didn’t connect a center speaker, choose NO (the center
channel is sent to the other speakers).
Front Height – Select LARGE if your front height speakers
reproduce bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to
send bass frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer.
If you didn’t connect front height speakers choose NO.
-
You can only adjust the Front Height setting when Pre
Out Setting is set to Height.
Surr – Select LARGE if your surround speakers reproduce
bass frequencies effectively. Select SMALL to send bass
frequencies to the other speakers or subwoofer. If you
didn’t connect surround speakers choose NO (the sound of
the surround channels is sent to the other speakers).
Surr. Back – Select the number of surround back speakers
you have (one, two or none). Select LARGE if your surround
back speakers reproduce bass frequencies effectively.
Select SMALL to send bass frequencies to the other
speakers or subwoofer. If you didn’t connect surround back
speakers choose NO.
-
VSX-822 only: You can only adjust the Surr. Back setting
when Pre Out Setting is set to Surr. Back.
-
VSX-822 only: If you select one surround back speaker
only, make sure that additional amplifier is hooked up to
the PRE OUT L (Single) terminal.
-
VSX-1022 only: When using only one surround back
speaker, connect it to the SURROUND BACK L (Single)
terminals.
Subwoofer – LFE signals and bass frequencies of
channels set to SMALL are output from the subwoofer
when YES is selected (see notes below). Choose the PLUS
setting if you want the subwoofer to output bass sound
continuously or you want deeper bass (the bass
frequencies that would normally come out the front and
center speakers are also routed to the subwoofer). If you did
not connect a subwoofer choose NO (the bass frequencies
are output from other speakers).
4
When you’re finished, press
RETURN
.
You return to the Manual SP Setup menu.
Note
If you select SMALL for the front speakers, the subwoofer
will automatically be fixed to YES. Also, the center,
surround, surround back and front height speakers can’t
be set to LARGE if the front speakers are set to SMALL. In
this case, all bass frequencies are sent to the subwoofer.
If the surround speakers are set to NO, the surround back
speakers will automatically be set to NO.
If you have a subwoofer and like lots of bass, it may seem
logical to select LARGE for your front speakers and PLUS
for the subwoofer. This may not, however, yield the best
bass results. Depending on the speaker placement of your
room you may actually experience a decrease in the
amount of bass due to low frequency cancellations. In this
case, try changing the position or direction of speakers. If
you can’t get good results, listen to the bass response with
it set to PLUS and YES or the front speakers set to LARGE
and SMALL alternatively and let your ears judge which
sounds best. If you’re having problems, the easiest option
is to route all the bass sounds to the subwoofer by selecting
SMALL for the front speakers.
X.Over
Default setting: 100Hz
This setting decides the cutoff between bass sounds playing
back from the speakers selected as LARGE, or the subwoofer,
and bass sounds playing back from those selected as SMALL.
It also decides where the cutoff will be for bass sounds in the
LFE channel.
For more on selecting the speaker sizes, see Speaker Setting
on page 46.
1
Select ‘Manual SP Setup’ from the Home Menu.
2
Select ‘X.Over’ from the Manual SP Setup menu.

Choose the frequency cutoff point.
Frequencies below the cutoff point will be sent to the
subwoofer (or LARGE speakers).

Yes, there is a way to configure the Pioneer VSX-1022 receiver to automatically select a specific input signal when it is turned on. Here are the steps to configure this setting: 1. Press the "Home Menu" button on the receiver. 2. Navigate to the "HDMI Setup" option using the arrow keys. 3. Select the "Control" option and set it to "ON". 4. Choose the "ARC" setting and set it to "ON" if you want the TV's sound to be input via the HDMI terminal. If you prefer the TV's sound to be input from the audio input terminals other than HDMI, set the "ARC" setting to "OFF". 5. Select the "Standby Through" setting and choose the HDMI input signal that you want to be output to the TV when the receiver is in standby mode. If you want the receiver to remember the last selected HDMI input signal, choose the "LAST" option. This can only be selected when the "Control" setting is set to "OFF".

The unit might not be getting enough power. It’s a 1000 watt receiver. I had one for years, but my old wiring started having problems. The receiver would click on and off. I had to switch to a low powered (100 watt) sound bar.

The receiver is connected to the eARC input, a firestick is in HDMI 1 and a Tivo is in HDMI 2. everything works well and the tv remote controls the receiver. I cannot, however get into the home menu to set up my speakers, therefore I do not have surround sound. I have 4 6.5" ceiling speakers, a front speaker on the wall over the TV and a woofer. I get sound, just not surround sound. I need help getting into the menu as the TV reports no signal when I choose the eARC input that the receiver is connected to.
