Listening to the radio

The following steps show you how to tune in to FM and AM
radio broadcasts using the automatic (search) and manual
(step) tuning functions. Once you are tuned to a station you
can memorize the frequency for recall later—see Saving
station presets below for more on how to do this.

Press

2
Use

press and hold

/.
High speed tuning
Press and hold

/ for high speed tuning.
Improving FM sound
If the TUNE or ST indicators don’t light when tuning to an FM
station because the signal is weak, set the receiver to the
mono reception mode.
Press
BAND
to select FM MONO.
This should improve the sound quality and allow you to
enjoy the broadcast.
Saving station presets
If you often listen to a particular radio station, it’s convenient
to have the receiver store the frequency for easy recall
whenever you want to listen to that station. This saves the
effort of manually tuning in each time. This unit can
memorize up to 30 stations.

Can't find the answer to your question in the manual? You may find the answer to your question in the FAQs about the Pioneer VSX-524-K below.

When is my volume too loud?

A volume above 80 decibels can be harmful to hearing. When the volume exceeds 120 decibels, direct damage can even occur. The chance of hearing damage depends on the listening frequency and duration.

Can bluetooth devices of different brands be connected to each other?

Yes, bluetooth is a universal method that allows different devices equipped with bluetooth to connect to each other.

What is bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a way of exchanging data wirelessly between electronic devices via radio waves. The distance between the two devices that exchange data can in most cases be no more than ten metres.

What is HDMI?

HDMI stands for High-Definition Multimedia Interface. An HDMI cable is used to transport audio and video signals between devices.

How can I best clean my receiver?

A slightly damp cleaning cloth or soft, dust-free cloth works best to remove fingerprints. Dust in hard-to-reach places is best removed with compressed air.

Wat is Dolby Atmos?

Dolby Atmos is a technology that ensures that the sound is reflected from the ceiling to where you are listening. This makes it possible to create a 5.1 effect with only 1 speaker.

Why is the sound distorted or too quiet when playing audio through the receiver?

Ensure that the speaker cables are properly connected to the receiver and speakers, as loose connections can cause sound issues. Additionally, check the audio settings on the receiver to ensure proper levels are set and that any audio enhancements or effects are disabled.

How can I set up the receiver to work with my TV and other devices?

Connect the HDMI output of your TV or cable/satellite box to the HDMI input on the receiver. Then, connect your speakers to the receiver. Use the receiver's input selector to choose the appropriate HDMI input for your desired device. Adjust the volume levels as needed.

My remote control is not working with the receiver. What should I do?

First, make sure the batteries in the remote control are fresh and properly inserted. If that doesn't solve the issue, try pointing the remote directly at the receiver's sensor and ensure that there are no obstructions between them. Additionally, check the receiver's settings to ensure that the remote control function is enabled.

How do I calibrate the speakers for optimal audio performance?

The receiver has an automatic speaker calibration feature. Locate the "Auto MCACC" button on the receiver or remote control and press it to initiate the calibration process.
