information.
These operating instructions include the information for using PC Setup, from making
network connections between the AV receiver and the computer to launching and
operating PC Setup, as well as measures to be taken in case of problems.

About Pioneer PC Setup
To use PC Setup, you must first execute the PC Setup installer on the personal
computer (PC) and install the software.
PC Setup allows you to acquire all the AV receiver’s setting information and change
the acquired settings, reflecting the changes on the AV receiver. The settings can
be stored as files, allowing you to save the setting environment as management
information.
“.NET framework Version 4” must be installed on the computer before operating
PC Setup. (When using Windows 8, the operating system already includes “.NET
framework Version 4.5”, so there is no need to reinstall Version 4.)
Refer to the download item at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/ and
install .NET framework Version 4.

receiver’s maintenance mode, the computer and AV receiver must be connectable over the Internet
using a specific TCP port.
• Even when using an router that is not UPnP-compatible, when the router’s port forwarding function is
being operated manually, the computer and AV receiver must be connectable over the Internet via a
specific TCP port.

nWhat can be done with Pioneer PC Setup
1. Data can be input and output freely.
The data that can be input and output is shown below.
• AV receiver’s 1st backup data (the normal setup data)
• 2nd backup data (data for retaining the status upon installation)
• Data files on computers
2. The setup data can be edited on the screen.
3. There is a detect difference function.
• The difference between the edited data and the receiver’s two backups (AVR 1st
backup and AVR 2nd backup)
• The difference between the edited data and a file stored on a computer (Stored file)
4. As a contingency, the receiver’s backup can be made redundant.
• This can be instructed from PC Setup.
5. The setup data can be stored as a le on a computer.
6. A le in CSV format displayable with Microsoft Excel can be output.
The output file cannot be loaded.

Launching the application
1 Local LAN (Auto Detect)
Connect through auto detection of the receiver by UPnP.
2 Local LAN
Connect to the receiver using a specific IP address/port.
3 Internet
Connect via the Internet.
The router must be set to allow use of a specific port with port forwarding
function to the receiver.
The IP address to be specified is the router’s WAN side IP address of the client’s home.
Connection to the AV receiver is made via the router using the specific IP
address and port.
• Port forwarding operation is set automatically when the AV receiver is set to the
maintenance mode. For details, see “Using in a WAN environment” on page 13.
• The TCP port opened with port forwarding is Port 4 at HOME MENU dSystem Setup
dNetwork Setup dPort Number Setup on the AV receiver’s GUI. By factory default,
this is set to 23.
• Communications cannot be conducted properly if Port 4 at Port Number Setup on the
AV receiver is occupied by another device. Stop using the other device and release the
connection.
4 COM port
Make RS232C connections to the receiver using a specific COM port.
• With RS232C connections, lump file uploading and downloading is not possible.
Uploading and downloading is performed by individual data editing screens.
• With RS232C connections, for only the first time the data editing screen is launched,
the data for the individual items is downloaded automatically from the AV receiver
each time the screen is switched.
5 Storedle
