The Safety of Your Ears is in Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a
safe level – a level that lets the sound come through
clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most
importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.
Sound can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so
what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and
harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting
your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it
comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable sound
level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t
hear what’s around you.
• Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in
potentially hazardous situations.
• Do not use headphones while operating a motorized
vehicle; the use of headphones may create a traffic
hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Our philosophy
Pioneer is dedicated to making your home theater listening experience as close as possible to the vision of the
moviemakers and mastering engineer when they created the original soundtrack. We do this by focusing on three
important steps:
1 Achieving the highest possible sound quality
2 Allowing for customized acoustic calibration according to any listening area
3 Fine-tuning the receiver with the help of world-class studio engineers
With the cooperation of AIR Studios, this receiver has been designated AIR Studios Monitor:
Features
Audio
%AIR Studios Sound Tuning
The SC-89 and SC-87 have received the AIR Studios Monitor certification. Pioneer has a proven track record
of applying its audio expertise to the creation of multi-channel sound environments. Established in 1969 in
London, AIR Studios is now an acclaimed recording complex, favoured by many of the world’s most popular and
renowned musical talents.
%Class D Amplifier
This unit is an AV receiver developed based on the latest high performance Class D amplifier and integrating
the essence of Pioneer’s high sound quality designs. This new generation reference amplifier offers outstanding
performance with high sound quality and reproduces the latest in multi-channel digital contents.
%ESS-32bit-DAC-equipped
All channels are equipped with ESS SABRE 32 Ultra Audio DACs. The Jitter Eliminators achieve clearer sound.
%Audio Scaler
The combined effect of Hi-bit 32 Audio Processing, the digital filter and the up-sampling function can be used
to convert the signals of music files or CDs to up to 192 kHz/32 bits to achieve even clearer sound with higher
definition.
%Hi-Bit 32 Audio Processing
Creates a wider dynamic range with digital sources like CDs, DVDs or BDs. 16-, 20- and 24-bit PCM as well as
compressed audio is requantized to 32 bits, and the high frequency component is interpolated upon data pro-
cessing to enable smoother, more subtle musical expression.
%Easy setup using MCACC PRO
The Auto MCACC Setup provides a quick but accurate surround sound setup, which includes the advanced fea-
tures of Professional Acoustic Calibration EQ.
%Auto Phase Control Plus
For discs created with standards other than Phase Control, the LFE channel is delayed upon recording in the first
place. This function automatically corrects phase shifting on such discs and broadcasts. This function is particu-
larly effective when playing multi-channel music containing low frequency effects (LFE).
%Full Band Phase Control (compatible with FRONT ALIGN)
The further advanced Full Band Phase Control technology focuses on the group delay in the speaker network
filter, and compensates with special digital signal processing (DSP), to adjust the phase of each unit as well as
the group delay for each speaker. Full Band Phase Control gives multi-range speakers the sound coherence of
full-range speakers, while retaining the wide frequency range advantage.
This is compatible with the FRONT ALIGN function for matching the characteristics of the speakers other than
the front speakers with those of the front speakers.
%PQLS Bit-stream
Jitterless high quality playback is possible by connecting a PQLS-compatible player with HDMI connections. This
feature is only available when the connected Pioneer Blu-ray Disc Player supports the PQLS function.
%Independent dual subwoofer output
The output for two subwoofers can be adjusted and set independently. When using two subwoofers, more ideal
low-frequency playback can be realized by properly adjusting the output to each woofer.
%Subwoofer EQ
The EQ for subwoofer output can be corrected. In addition to the results of MCACC automatic adjustment, the
subwoofer output can be adjusted to match the viewing environment or your taste by manual correction.
Video
%Ultra HD (with 4K/60p video support) - Pass-through and upscaling -
Up to 4K/60p resolution images can be passed through and displayed as such, and the HD (High Definition) or
Full HD images of DVDs, Blu-ray discs and HD broadcasts can be upscaled to a resolution of up to 4K/60p and
displayed. A separate monitor supporting Ultra HD (4K video) is required.
%HDMI (4K60p, 3D, Audio Return Channel)
!SC-89: 9in/4out (Dual out + HDBaseT and HDZONE out)
!SC-87: 9in/3out (Dual out + HDZONE out)
A compatible component is required to use the above function.

Playback/Processing
%Dolby Atmos
This AV receiver supports the latest Dolby Atmos surround sound system. Dolby Atmos is a new technology in
which, through real time calculation of audio data and meta data (position and time information) included in the
audio signal, a surround sound space is achieved irrespective of the speaker layout and number of speakers.
In order to enjoy Dolby Atmos, Dolby Atmos-compatible content is required. Dolby Atmos content on Dolby
Atmos-compatible Blu-ray Discs can be played back on most conventional Blu-ray players by sending the Dolby
Atmos bitstream to the AVR.
%Multi-channel Music File playback
This receiver enables multi-channel music file playback with a resolution of up to 96 kHz/24 bit. Playback of WAV
and FLAC files via the front USB port and network is supported.
%DSD File Music playback (via Network, Front USB and HDMI)
Playback of high sound quality DSD music (DSD files and DSD discs (SACDs)) is supported.
%High Resolution Music Playback
High resolution music files with resolutions of 96 kHz/24 bit to 192 kHz/24 bit can be played. Playback of AIFF,
Apple Lossless, WAV and FLAC files via the front USB port and network is supported.
%Gapless Playback
The silent section between tracks is skipped when playing music files, eliminating the interruptions that usually
occur when playing live or concert contents.
This receiver plays back AAC or MP3 format files with a minimum gap even though it is fundamentally impossible
to play back without a gap.
%Virtual Speakers
By turning on the ‘Virtual Surround Back’, ‘Virtual Height’, and ‘Virtual Wide’ modes, it is possible to realize a
maximum of 11.1 channels combining the speakers that are actually installed and the virtual speakers. This
makes for a smoother connection between the sounds and an improved 3D feel.
%dts Neo:X compatible
This receiver supports the latest DTS processing format. The quality of Neo:X, originally designed for 9 channels
or more, can be enjoyed in a 7-channel environment.
Installation
%Built-in AVNavigator
When accessing the receiver from the browser of your smartphone, tablet, Windows PC or Mac, you can use
Wiring Navi, which explains how to connect or Interactive Operation Guide, which visually and intelligibly
explains the operation method.
%iControlAV5 Remote Application
This is an application that allows intuitive operation of many of the receiver’s functions. This application is avail-
able on the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. You can also get it on Google Play for Android smart-
phones. The application can be downloaded free of charge.
%HDZONE output
This receiver supports output of the HDMI output to a subzone room. Powerful images can be enjoyed simply by
connecting this receiver to a TV supporting 4K/Full-HD/3D. In addition, a multi-channel environment can be cre-
ated by connecting this receiver to another AV receiver in the subzone room.
%ZONE Ready
This receiver is equipped with HDZONE and ZONE 2. HDZONE supports HD audio/video streaming to a separate
room via HDMI. Multi-Zone enables music and movie playback from different sources in three zones at the same
time.
With HDZONE, you can select not only HDMI input but also INTERNET RADIO or iPod/USB and the like.
%HDBaseTTM output terminal
SC-89 only
The SC-89 is equipped with HDBaseT output terminals supporting 4K/3D/Full-HD video and multi-channel audio.
The HDMI video output signals are converted for LAN cable transmission, so they can be output to sub-zone
rooms up to 100 meters away.
%Energy Saving Design
This AV receiver has an ecological design. In addition to even lower power consumption in standby, the receiver
is equipped with an ‘eco mode’ for low power consumption when playing contents as well. Furthermore, the eco
mode can easily be set with a dedicated button on the remote control of using iControlAV5.
