Positioning speakers

Speaker placement plays an important role in the reproduction of Surround sound. The placement of the speakers varies depending on the size of the room and the wall coverings used in the room. The illustration shows an example of a layout for standard speaker placement. Refer to this example when you position the speakers in order to experience the best of Surround sound.

Standard speaker placement

For ideal Surround effects, all speakers should be installed. If a center speaker or subwoofer is not connected, the sound from the unused channel is properly distributed to the connected speakers in order to produce the best Surround sound possible.

Front: The left, right, and center speakers should face the seated listener and be placed at ear level. The center speaker produces a richer sound image by enhancing the perception of the sound's source and movement.

Surround: Place the left and right Surround speakers 1 meter (3 feet) above the listener's ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers' dispersion angle. These speakers produce the feel of a moving sound while creating the sensation of being in the middle of the action.

Subwoofer: Install a subwoofer with a built-in power amplifier for powerful bass sounds. The placement of the subwoofer does not affect the final quality of the sound image too much, so you can install it with the room layout in mind.

Refer to the speaker's instruction manual for more details.

Notes on DTS

1. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the "ANALOG" setting is selected on the TX-DS575X, the DTS encoded signal will not be decoded and noise will be output. This noise could damage the amplifier and speakers. Therefore, be sure to select "DIGITAL" and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL/COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source. (Refer to "Assigning the digital input/Selecting the input signal format" on page 18.)
2. If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the "DIGITAL" setting is selected, you may hear a noise for a short while until the DTS decoder recognizes the DTS encoded signal and starts operating. This is not a malfunction.
3. If you press the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player while playing a DTS source, a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction.
4. The DTS indicator on the TX-DS575X lights up while it plays the DTS source. When playback concludes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the TX-DS575X remains in DTS mode and the DTS indicator remains lit. This prevents noise when you operate the PAUSE or SKIP button on the player. Therefore, if the source switches from the DTS signal to the PCM signal immediately, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the source on the player for about three seconds, then resume playback.
5. Some CD players and LD players may be unable to play DTS sources correctly even if you connect the player to the TX-DS575X digitally. This is because the digital signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, frequency response, etc.), and the TX-DS575X cannot recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore, you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the signal.
6. The Rec Out jacks of the TX-DS575X output analog audio. Do not record CDs or LDs that support DTS using these jacks. Otherwise, you will record a DTS encoded signal as noise.

Setting the Listening mode parameters

The following parameters are available for each Listening mode.

	Dolby Digital DTS Surround Dolby Pro Logic Orchestra, Unplugged, Studio-Mix, TV Logic
LATE NIGHT	○	—	—	—
FRONT EFFECT	—	—	—	○
Re-EQ	○	○	○	—
LFE level control	○	○	—	—

LATE NIGHT

If you play a movie at a low volume at night, set this parameter to "ON" to narrow the dynamic range of the sound to make it easier to hear.

The Late Night function works only with source material that contains necessary Dolby Digital information.

Note:

• The Late Night effect is determined by each Dolby Digital sound. Some sounds may produce no or little effect.
• The Late Night function is effective only on the Dolby Digital sound.

While the Dolby Digital sound is playing, press the LATE NIGHT/ FRONT EFFECT button. The current setting appears on the display. (LATE NIGHT=ON or OFF)

Pressing the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT button repeatedly will toggle between ON and OFF.

FRONT EFFECT

Some live recordings contain acoustic reverberation. When you play these sources, more reverberation will be applied by the DSP, creating too much reverb effects and the sound loses its frame or presence. In this case, set FRONT EFFECT to OFF. No reverberation from the DSP will be applied to the sound output from three front channels, and the sound source will be played as it is without any further reverberation.

Note:

The Front Effect function is effective only on the ORCHESTRA, UNPLUGGED, STUDIO-MIX, and TV LOGIC sound.

While ORCHESTRA, UNPLUGGED, STUDIO-MIX, or TV LOGIC is selected for Listening mode, press the LATE NIGHT/ FRONT EFFECT button. The current setting appears on the display. (FRT EFFECT=ON or OFF)

Pressing the LATE NIGHT/FRONT EFFECT button repeatedly will toggle between ON and OFF.

Re-EQ

Cinema Re-Equalization

Re-Equalization takes the edginess or “brightness” out of your home cinema sound, compensating for the fact that sound mixed for theaters will sound too bright when played back through speakers in the home environment.

To enable Re-Equalization, set the Re-EQ to ON.

While the Dolby ProLogic Surround, Dolby Digital Surround, or DTS Surround sound is playing, press the Re-EQ button. The current setting appears on the display. (RE-EQ=ON or OFF)

Pressing the Re-EQ button repeatedly will toggle between ON and OFF.

Note:

The Re-EQ function is effective on the Dolby ProLogic Surround, Dolby Digital Surround, and DTS Surround sound.

Programming the remote controller codes of other devices into the RC-392M

The RC-392M has two learning functions. One is a normal learning function that enables the RC-392M to learn other remote controllers' codes. The other is a macro learning function, which enables the RC-392M to learn a series of codes already memorized in the remote controller into one MACRO button.

Programming procedure

Program the codes for each mode (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV).

Light 1 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) 2 3 The button you wish to memorize RC-392M

1. Place the RC-392M and the remote controller for another device, with 5–15cm (2–6 inches) apart and the light-emitting parts facing each other.
2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE button on the RC-392M (AUDIO, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, or TV), press the ENT button, then release the buttons.

When you press and hold down one of the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights up. When you press the ENT button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights up again.

1. Press and release the desired operation button on the RC-392M.

You may select any button within the rectangle shown in the figure. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights up again.

1. Press and hold down the desired button on the remote controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN indicator on the RC-392M flashes twice.

The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly, then lights up.

1. Repeat Steps 3-4 to program other buttons in the same MODE.

Repeat Steps 2-4 to program other buttons in a different MODE.

1. Press the MODE button to complete programming.
2. Operate the programmed button to make sure the learning function works.

Note:

The remote controller codes for the Onkyo CD player, tape deck, DVD player, and MD recorder have already been programmed into the buttons on the RC-392M. You may program other remote controller codes into these buttons. If you wish to restore the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, erase the new codes. (See page 35.)

Note:

• The remote controller has 408 memory slots (51 buttons · 8 modes), although this number varies significantly depending on the manufacturers and types of the remote controller you wish to program into the RC-392M. It is recommended that you determine which button functions have priority for programming.
• If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during the procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 2.
• If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode.
• If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the RC-392M, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning function. Try programming in a button of other MODE.
• Follow the same procedure when you wish to program new codes into the already-programmed buttons.
• This remote controller uses infrared rays. Most remote controller codes can be memorized using the infrared system; however, depending on the degree to which the system differs, there may be some rare occasions when memorization is not possible.
• Some remote controllers use a single button to perform different functions, with the function code changing each time the button is pressed. If you are using this kind of controller, please perform the "learn" operations for each function individually to store each function to a button on the RC-392M.
• For instructions regarding the operation of "learned" units, please refer to the instruction manual for each product.
• Even after codes have been memorized, please keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If the memorized codes are lost when the batteries run down, it will be necessary to memorize them once again using the old remote controller.
• Make sure both the RC-392M and the product's own remote controller have fresh batteries. If either of them has batteries that are wearing down, it may be impossible to store the remote controller codes into the RC-392M or the product may not respond properly to the buttons on the RC-392M for which the remote controller codes were stored into memory.

• If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 1.
• If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 1.
• If have programmed many button operations to a single MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator may remain illuminated continuously in Step 2. This is not malfunction.

What is a Macro function?

A Macro function enables you to program a series of button operations on the remote controller into a single button. For example, you need to follow the steps below to play a CD player connected to the TX-DS575X without using the Macro function:

1: Press the MODE AUDIO button. → 2: Press the ON button. → 3: Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button. → 4: Press the MODE CD button. → 5: Use the numeric keys to select the desired song.

This operation will be two button presses away if you program these steps into a macro button.

Tip:

The codes programmed into a MACRO button will be transmitted with an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case, press one operation button, press the corresponding MODE button, then press another operation button to extend the interval between the two operations up to one second.

Programming Macro mode

You may program the desired steps into each of eight MODE buttons. The following example explains how to program Steps 1–5 (described above) into the MACRO MODE button under the MODE CD button (CD mode).

1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button you wish to program (in this case, MODE CD button), and press the MACRO MODE button. Then release the buttons.

When you press the MODE CD button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights up. When you press the MACRO MODE button, the indicator turns off.

When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes briefly, then lights up again.

1. Press the operation buttons in series you wish to program into the MACRO MODE button.

Press the MODE AUDIO, ON, CD (INPUT SELECTOR), MODE CD buttons, and a numeric key. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights up.

1. Press the MACRO MODE button to complete programming.

The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.

Repeat Steps 1–3 to program other series of button operations into another MODE button.

1. Check to see if the series of button operation has been correctly learned.

Point the remote controller toward the TX-DS575X, press the MODE CD button, and press the MACRO MODE button to see if the unit responds as programmed.

Transmitting the codes in Macro mode takes a while. During transmission, point the remote controller toward the device to be controlled.

Note:

• You may program up to 16 button operations into each MACRO button. If you try to program the 17th step, it will be ignored.
• If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during the procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 1.
• If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 1.
• If you erase one of the operation buttons already programmed in the MACRO MODE button, or if you program a different code into such a button, the operation button will no longer work. In this case, program the buttons again to avoid malfunction.
