Frequently Asked Questions - HT-S5500 ONKYO

How do I connect my TV to the HT-S5500 system?

Use an HDMI cable to connect the HDMI ARC output of your TV to the HDMI OUT (ARC) input of the receiver. If your TV does not support ARC, use an optical or coaxial connection.

What should I do if the sound is distorted or crackling?

Check the speaker connections: ensure the wires are properly inserted and the impedance is correct (6 ohms). Reduce the volume and check the tone settings on the receiver.

How do I configure the system for 5.1 surround sound?

Place the front speakers at ear level, the center speaker below or above the TV, the surround speakers on the sides or slightly behind. Use the provided microphone for automatic calibration via the AccuEQ function.

The subwoofer is not working, what should I check?

Make sure the subwoofer is powered on and the connection cable is properly plugged into the SUBWOOFER output of the receiver. Check the subwoofer level in the audio settings.

Can I listen to music from my smartphone?

Yes, enable Bluetooth on your smartphone and select 'HT-S5500' from the device list. You can also play audio files via the front USB port.

How do I reset the receiver to factory settings?

Turn off the unit, then hold down the 'VCR/DVR' button while turning it back on. Release when 'CLEAR' appears. All settings will be erased.

What does the flashing red light on the receiver mean?

A flashing red light indicates that protection has been activated (short circuit or overheating). Turn off, check the speaker connections, and let it cool down before turning back on.

How do I program the universal remote control?

The included remote is already paired with the receiver. To control other devices, follow the programming codes in the manual: hold down the appropriate button and enter the code.

Can I add additional speakers?

The HT-S5500 system is designed for a fixed 5.1 configuration. Adding additional speakers requires an external amplifier and is not natively supported.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:
- You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp protection circuit may be activated.
- Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before making any connections.
- Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.
- Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals only to positive (+) terminals, and negative (−) terminals only to negative (−) terminals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.
- Unnecessarily long, or very thin speaker cables may affect the sound quality and should be avoided.
- Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
- Make sure the metal core of the wire does not have contact with the AV receiver's rear panel. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.

Connections

• Don't connect more than one cable to each speaker terminal. Doing so may damage the AV receiver.
• Don't connect one speaker to several terminals.

Note

* When USB input is selected, you can input video signals from the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack. Video signals input from AUX INPUT VIDEO will be output from the MONITOR OUT jack.
^2 Do not connect the AV receiver's USB port to a USB port on your computer. Music on your computer cannot be played through the AV receiver in this way.
*3 Connect a turntable (MM) that has a phono preamp built-in. If your turntable (MM) doesn't have it, you'll need a commercially available phono preamp. If your turntable has a moving coil (MC) type cartridge, you'll need a commercially available MC head amp or MC transformer as well as a phono preamp. See your turntable's manual for details.
- With connection 4, you can enjoy Dolby Digital and DTS.
- With connection 6, if your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player has both the main stereo and multichannel outputs, be sure to connect to the main stereo.

How to record a video source

With the connections described above, you cannot record the videos through the AV receiver. See "Recording" about connections for video recording (→ page 38).

En-16

Connecting Onkyo RI Components

1 Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected with an analog audio cable (connection 6 in the hookup examples) (→ page 16).
2 Make the RI connection (see the illustration).
3 If you're using an RI Dock or cassette tape deck, change the Input Display (→ page 36).

With RI (Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:

■System On/Auto Power On

When you start playback on a component connected via RI while the AV receiver is on standby, the AV receiver will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source.

■Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via RI, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source.

Remote Control

You can use the AV receiver's remote controller to control your other RI-capable Onkyo components, pointing the remote controller at the AV receiver's remote control sensor instead of the component. You must enter the appropriate remote control code first (→page 55).

Using Basic Functions

Using the Automatic Speaker Setup

With the supplied calibrated microphone, Audyssey 2EQ® automatically determines the number of speakers connected, their size for purposes of bass management, optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if present), and distances from the primary listening position. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical problems over the listening area in both the frequency and time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for everyone. Audyssey 2EQ can be used with Audyssey Dynamic EQ® and Audyssey Dynamic Volume® (→ pages 46, 47). Before using this function, connect and position all of your speakers.

Audyssey 2EQ offers two ways of measuring: the "Audyssey Quick Start" and "Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration".

• “Audyssey Quick Start” uses the measurement from one position to perform the speaker setting only.
• “Audyssey 2EQ Full Calibration” uses the measurement from three positions to correct room response in addition to the speaker setting.

The more positions are used in measuring, the better the listening environment will become. We recommend using a measurement from three positions to create the best listening environment.

The Quick Start takes 2 minutes and Full Calibration takes about 10 minutes.

Total measurement time varies depending on the number of speakers.

Measurement procedure

To create a listening environment in your home theater that all listeners will enjoy, Audyssey 2EQ takes measurements at up to three positions within the listening area. Position the microphone at ear height of a seated listener with the microphone tip pointed directly at the ceiling using a tripod. Do not hold the microphone in your hand during measurements as this will produce inaccurate results.

① First measurement position

Also referred to as the Main Listening Position, this refers to the most central position where one would normally sit within the listening environment.

Audyssey 2EQ uses the measurements from this position to calculate speaker distance, level, polarity, and the optimum crossover value for the subwoofer.

② Second measurement position

The right side of the listening area.

③ Third measurement position

The left side of the listening area.

The distances from position ① to ② and ① to ③ must be at least 1 meter (3.3 ft.).

○: Listening area
① to ③: Listening position

Turning On & Basic Operations

Note

• Make the room as quiet as possible. Background noise and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) can disrupt the room measurements. Close windows, televisions, radios, air conditioners, fluorescent lights, home appliances, light dimmers, or other devices.

With Audyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound even when listening at low volume levels.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. It does so by selecting the correct frequency response and surround volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content sounds the way it was created at any volume level — not just at reference level.

■Reference Level

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset

▶ 0 dB :

This should be selected for movie contents.

5dB

Select this setting for content that has a very wide dynamic range, such as classical music.

10 dB:

Select this setting for jazz or other music that has a wider dynamic range. This setting should also be selected for TV content as that is usually mixed at 10 dB below film reference.

15 dB:

Select this setting for pop/rock music or other program material that is mixed at very high listening levels and has a compressed dynamic range.

Movies are mixed in rooms calibrated for film reference. To achieve the same reference level in a home theater system each speaker level must be adjusted so that -30 dBF'S band-limited (500 Hz to 2000 Hz) pink noise produces 75 dB sound pressure level at the listening position. A home theater system automatically calibrated by Audyssey 2EQ will play at reference level when the master volume control is set to the 0 dB position. At that level you can hear the mix as the mixers heard it. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the standard film mix level. It makes adjustments to maintain the reference response and surround envelopment when the volume is turned down from 0 dB. However, film reference level is not always used in music or other non-film content. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Reference Level Offset provides three offsets from the film level reference (5 dB, 10 dB, and 15 dB) that can be selected when the mix level of the content is not within the standard.

Note

- If "Dynamic EQ" setting is set to "Off", this technology cannot be used.

About Audyssey Dynamic EQ®

Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics. Dynamic EQ selects the correct frequency response and surround levels moment-by-moment at any user-selected volume setting. The result is bass response, tonal balance and surround impression that remain constant despite changes in volume.

Dynamic EQ combines information from incoming source levels with actual output sound levels in the room, a prerequisite for delivering a loudness correction solution. Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey 2EQ® to provide well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

About Audyssey Dynamic Volume®

Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages of movies. Dynamic Volume looks at the preferred volume setting by the user and then monitors how the volume of program material is being perceived by listeners in real time to decide whether an adjustment is needed. Whenever necessary, Dynamic Volume makes the necessary rapid or gradual adjustments to maintain the desired playback volume level while optimizing the dynamic range. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal balance, surround impression and dialog clarity remain the same whether watching movies, flipping between television channels or changing from stereo to surround sound content.

Appendix

The Late Night function doesn't work

Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital. Dolby Digital Plus. or Dolby TrucHD.

51

■About DTS signals

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bitstream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listening mode and the dts indicator remains on. This is to prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your player from DTS to PCM, you may not hear any sound because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately. In such case, you should stop your player for about three seconds and then resume playback.

With some CD and LD players, you won't be able to — playback DTS material properly even though your player is connected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed (e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency response changed) and the AV receiver doesn't recognize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

Playing DTS program material, using the pause, fast — forward, or fast reverse function on your player may produce a short audible noise. This is not a malfunction.

The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN can't be heard

Since it takes longer to identify the format of an HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio signals, audio output may not start immediately.

About HDMI

Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, Blu-ray Disc/DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now, several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital audio, and multichannel PCM).

The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and displays, resulting in no picture.)

The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) ^2 , so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture.

The AV receiver's HDMI interface is based on the following:

Audio Return Channel, 3D, x.v.Color, DeepColor, Lip Sync, DTS-HD Master Audio, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus, DSD and Multichannel PCM.

Supported Audio Formats About Copyright

• 2-channel linear PCM (32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
- Multichannel linear PCM (up to 7.1 ch, 32–192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
- Bitstream (DSD, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-HD High Resolution Audio, DTS-HD Master Audio)

Your Blu-ray Disc/DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

Appendix

tection

The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) ^2 , a copy-protection system for digital video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.

^1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG ^3 in 1999.
^2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It's designed to protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.
^*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Lead by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open industry group's objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and digital displays.

Note

• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you'll need to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the picture is poor or there's no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected component's instruction manual for details.

USB Features

USB Device Requirements

• USB mass storage device class (but not always guaranteed).
  • FAT16 or FAT32 file system format.
• Up to 255 folders can be displayed, and folders may be nested up to 8 levels deep.

Note

- The Auto Standby function turns the subwoofer on when the input signal exceeds a certain level. If the Auto Standby function does not work reliably, try slightly increasing or decreasing the subwoofer output level on your receiver.

Before Using the Home Theater Speaker Package

Using the Rubber Stoppers for a More Stable Platform

We recommend using the supplied rubber stoppers to achieve the best possible sound from your speakers. The rubber stoppers prevent the speakers from moving, providing a more stable platform. Use rubber stoppers for the center speaker.

Using the Floor Pads for Subwoofer

If the subwoofer is placed on a hard floor (wood, vinyl, tile, etc.) and playback is very loud, the subwoofer's feet may damage the flooring. To prevent this, place the supplied pads underneath the subwoofer's feet. The pads also provide a stable base for the subwoofer.

En-2

Setting the Subwoofer Level

To set the level of the subwoofer, use the OUTPUT LEVEL control. Set it so that bass sounds are evenly balanced with the treble sounds from the other speakers. Because our ears are less sensitive to very low bass sounds, there's a tempta set the level of the subwoofer too high. As a rule o set the subwoofer level to what you think is the op level, and then back it off slightly.

Wall Mounting

To mount the front/surround/surround back speakers vertically, use the keyhole slot shown to hang each speaker on a screw that's securely screwed into the wall.

To mount the center speaker horizontally, use the two keyhole slots shown to hang the speaker on two screws that are securely screwed into the wall.

Keyhole slots for wall mounting

Tip

- If the center speaker is tilted, loosen the screw on the declined side to move upward so that the speaker could be adjusted vertically.

Caution

- A mounting screw's ability to support a speaker depends on how well it's anchored to the wall. If you have hollow walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors. Use screws with a head

diameter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less and a shank diameter of 1/8" (4 mm) or less. With hollow walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power cables or water pipes before making any holes.

- Leave a gap of between 3/16" (5 mm) and 7/16" (10 mm) between the wall and the base of the screw head, as shown (We recommend that you consult a home installation professional).

Enjoying Home Theater

The Home Theater means that you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your own home — just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

① Front left and right speakers (SKF-591)

They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.

② Center speaker (SKC-591N/SKC-591)

Position it close to your TV (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

③ Surround left and right speakers (SKR-590)

Position them at the sides of the listener, or slightly behind, about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level. Ideally they should be equally spaced from the listener.

④ Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-590)

These speakers further enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener.

Position them behind the listener about 2 to 3 feet (60 to 100 cm) above ear level.

⑤ Subwoofer (SKW-591)

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel and bass from the satellite speakers when a crossover is specified. The volume and quality of the bass output from your subwoofer will depend on its position, the shape of your listening room, and your listening position. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the front wall, as shown.

Connecting the Speakers

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

- Turn off your receiver before making any connections.

- Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity.

Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (−) terminals to only negative (−) terminals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will phase and will sound unnatural.

- Be careful not to short the positive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your amp.

Note

- When you connect the front high left and right speakers, prepare for it separately, or use the surround back left and right speakers.

Note

For non-magnetic shielded speakers:

Try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. If discoloration should occur, turn off your TV or monitor, wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again. This normally activates the degaussing function, which neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any discoloration effects.
