Enjoying Home Theater

Thanks to the AV receiver's superb capabilities, 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. With DVDs you can enjoy DTS and Dolby Digital. With analog and digital TV you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic II or Onkyo's own DSP surround listening modes.

Front left and right speakers

These output the overall sound. Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at about ear level, and equidistant from the TV. Angle them inward so as to create a triangle,

with the listener at the apex.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. In movies it's used mainly for dialog.

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

Subwoofer

The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel. 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 width of the wall, as shown.

Tip: To find the best position for your subwoofer, while playing a movie or some music with good bass, experiment by placing your subwoofer at various positions within the room, and choose the one that provides the most satisfying results.

Surround left and right speakers

These speakers are used for precise sound positioning and to add realistic ambience.

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

About AV Connections

• Before making any AV connections, read the manuals supplied with your other AV components.
• Don't connect the power cord until you've completed and double-checked all AV connections.

Optical Digital Jacks

The AV receiver's optical digital jacks have shutter-type covers that open when an optical plug is inserted and close when it's removed. Push plugs in all the way.

Caution: To prevent shutter damage, hold the optical plug straight when inserting and removing.

AV Connection Color Coding

RCA-type AV connections are usually color-coded: red, white, and yellow. Use red plugs to connect right-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "R"). Use white plugs to connect left-channel audio inputs and outputs (typically labeled "L"). And use yellow plugs to connect composite video inputs and outputs.

• Push plugs in all the way to make good connections (loose connections can cause noise or malfunctions).
• To prevent interference, keep audio and video cables away from power cords and speaker cables.

AV Cables & Jacks

Video

Cable		Jack	Description
Component video cable		Y Pr Pr	Component video separates the luminance (Y) and color difference signals (PR, PB), providing the best picture quality (some TV manufacturers label their component video sockets slightly differently).
S-Video cable		S	S-Video separates the luminance and color signals and provides better picture quality than composite video.
Composite video cable		V	Composite video is commonly used on TVs, VCRs, and other video equipment. Use only dedicated composite video cables.

Audio

Cable		Jack	Description
Optical digital audio cable		OPTICAL	Offers the best sound quality and allows you to enjoy surround sound (e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS). The audio quality is the same as for coaxial.
Coaxial digital audio cable		COAXIAL	Offers the best sound quality and allows you to enjoy surround sound (e.g., Dolby Digital, DTS). The audio quality is the same as for optical.
Analog audio cable (RCA)		L R	This cable carries analog audio. It's the most common connection format for analog audio, and can be found on virtually all AV components.
Multichannel analog audio cable (RCA)		FRONT SURFACE CENTER DVD	This cable carries multichannel analog audio and it's typically used to connect DVD players with a 5.1-channel analog audio output. Several standard analog audio cables can be used instead of a multi-channel cable.

Note: The AV receiver does not support SCART plugs.

Connecting Your Speakers

Speaker Configuration

For the best surround sound experience, you should connect five speakers and a powered subwoofer.

The following table indicates the channels you should use depending on the number of speakers that you have.

Number of speakers:	2	3	4	5
Front left	✓	✓	✓	✓
Front right	✓	✓	✓	✓
Center		✓		✓
Surround left			✓	✓
Surround right			✓	✓

No matter how many speakers you use, a powered subwoofer is recommended for a really powerful and solid bass.

Using Dipole Speakers

You can use dipole speakers for the surround left and right speakers. Dipole speakers output the same sound in two directions.

Dipole speakers typically have an arrow printed on them to indicate how they should be positioned. The surround left and right dipole speakers should be positioned so that their arrows point toward the TV/screen, as shown.

Dipole speakers

Normal speakers

1. Subwoofer
2. Front left speaker

3. Center speaker

4. Front right speaker

5. Surround left speaker
6. Surround right speaker

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

Using a suitable cable, connect the AV receiver's PRE OUT SUBWOOFER to an input on your powered subwoofer, as shown. If your subwoofer is unpowered and you're using an external amplifier, connect the PRE OUT SUBWOOFER to an input on the amp.

Attaching the Speaker Labels (Not North American models)

The AV receiver's positive (+) speaker terminals are color-coded for ease of identification (the negative (-) speaker terminals are all black).

Speaker terminal	Color
Front left	White
Front right	Red
Center	Green
Surround left	Blue
Surround right	Gray

The supplied speaker labels are also color-coded and you should attach them to the positive (+) side of each speaker cable in accordance with the above table. Then all you need to do is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• Only connect speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or higher. 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 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.
• 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.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

1 Strip about 5 / 8'' (15 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

2 Unscrew the terminal.

3 Fully insert the bare wires.

4 Screw the terminal tight.

The following illustration shows which speaker should be connected to each pair of terminals.

Connecting Antenna

This section explains how to connect the supplied indoor FM antenna and AM loop antenna, and how to connect commercially available outdoor FM and AM antennas. The AV receiver won't pick up any radio signals without any antenna connected, so you must connect the antenna to use the tuner.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

North American models

Other models

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into an FM radio station and adjust the position of the FM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

2 Use thumbtacks or something similar to fix the FM antenna into position.

Caution: Be careful that you don't injure yourself when using thumbtacks.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 22).

Connecting the AM Loop Antenna

The supplied indoor AM loop antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Assemble the AM loop antenna, inserting the tabs into the base, as shown.

2 Connect both wires of the AM loop antenna to the AM push terminals, as shown.

(The antenna's wires are not polarity sensitive, so they can be connected either way around.)

Make sure that the wires are attached securely and that the push terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Once your AV receiver is ready for use, you'll need to tune into an AM radio station and adjust the position of the AM antenna to achieve the best possible reception.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from your AV receiver, TV, speaker cables, and power cords.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor AM loop antenna, try using it with a commercially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 22).

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead.

Notes:

• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an attic or loft.
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line of sight to your local FM transmitter.
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possible noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated well away from power lines and other high-voltage equipment.
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

It's best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If circumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.

Connecting an Outdoor AM Antenna

If good reception cannot be achieved using the supplied AM loop antenna, an outdoor AM antenna can be used in addition to the loop antenna, as shown.

Outdoor AM antennas work best when installed outside horizontally, but good results can sometimes be obtained indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.

Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.

Connecting Both Audio & Video

By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you can select both the audio and video simultaneously simply by selecting the appropriate input source on the AV receiver.

Signal Flow

Which Connections Should I Use?

The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide. For video components, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.

Video Connection Formats

Video equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any one of the following video connection formats: composite video, S-Video, or component video, the latter offering the best picture quality.

A video signal connected to a V or S IN jack will be converted—composite video to S-Video or S-Video to composite video—but only for the MONITOR OUT jacks, not the VIDEO 1 and VIDEO 2 OUT V and S jacks.

Notes:

• The AV receiver can be set to upconvert composite video and S-Video input signals and output them from the COMPONENT VIDEO OUT (see page 41).
• For details on the HDMI jacks, see page 32.

Audio Connection Formats

Audio equipment can be connected to the AV receiver by using any of the following audio connection formats: analog, optical, coaxial, or multichannel.

Connecting Components with HDMI

About HDMI

Designed to meet the demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, 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) ^1 , 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), so only HDCP-compatible components can display the picture.

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

High-Definition Multimedia Interface Specification Informational Version 1.1

Supported Audio Formats

2-channel linear PCM (32-192 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
- Multichannel linear PCM (5.1 ch, 32–96 kHz, 16/20/24 bit)
- Bitstream (Dolby Digital, DTS)

Your DVD player must also support HDMI output of the above audio formats.

About Copyright Protection

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.

Commercially available HDMI cables (supplied with some components) should be used to connect the AV receiver's HDMI OUT to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.

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.

Making HDMI Connections

Step 1: Use HDMI cables to connect the AV receiver's HDMI jacks to your HDMI-compatible DVD player, TV, projector, and so on.

Step 2: Assign each HDMI IN to an input selector in the HDMI Video setup (see page 40).

Video Signal Flow Chart

Digital video signals received at HDMI IN 1 and 2 are only output by the HDMI OUT and sent to your TV. Composite video, S-Video, and component video input signals are not output by the HDMI OUT.

Note:

The onscreen setup menus are not output by the HDMI OUT, so you'll also need to make a composite video, S-Video, or component video connection to your TV (see page 24).

Audio Signal Flow Chart

Digital audio signals received at HDMI IN 1 or 2 are output by the speakers and headphones connected to the AV receiver. They're also output by the OPTICAL OUT and can be output by the HDMI OUT by setting the HDMI Audio Out setting to On (see page 69).

• To listen to audio received at HDMI IN 1 and 2 through your TV speakers, set the HDMI Audio Out setting to On (see page 69) and your DVD player's output setting to PCM.

Connecting a CD Player or Turntable

CD Player or Turntable (MM) with Built-in Phono Preamp

Step 1:

Choose a connection that matches your CD player (a, b, or c). Use connection a for a turntable with a built-in phono preamp.

• With connection a, you can listen to and record audio from the CD player.
• To connect the CD player digitally, use connection b or c. (For recording, use a and b, or a and c.)

Connection	AV receiver	Signal flow	CD or turntable
a	CD IN L/R	←	Analog audio L/R output
b	DIGITAL COAXIAL IN 2	←	Digital coaxial output
c	DIGITAL OPTICAL IN 3	←	Digital optical output

Turntable (MM) with no Phono Preamp Built-in

A phono preamp is necessary to connect a turntable that doesn't have a phono preamp built-in.

Turntable with an MC (Moving Coil) Cartridge

An MC head amp and phono preamp are necessary to connect a turntable with an MC (Moving Coil) cartridge.

Connecting a HDD-compatible Component

As of this printing, the Onkyo Remote Interactive Dock is the only HDD-compatible component available.

For HDD-compatible components that support video

Connect your HDD-compatible component's analog audio output jacks and video output jack to the AV receiver's VIDEO 3 IN L/R jacks and VIDEO 3 IN (V or S) jack. (The example shown below is for connection with the DS-A1.)

For HDD-compatible components that don't support video

Connect your HDD-compatible component's analog audio output jacks to the AV receiver's TAPE IN L/R jacks.

Notes:

• Connect the Remote Interactive Dock with an R1 cable (see page 36).
• Set the Remote Interactive Dock's RI MODE switch to HDD.
• Set the AV receiver's input display to HDD (see page 44).
  Refer to the Remote Interactive Dock's instruction manual.

Connecting a Cassette, CDR, MiniDisc, or DAT Recorder

Step 1:

Choose a connection that matches the recorder (a, b, c, or d), and then make the connection.

• With connection a, you can play and record.
• To connect the recorder digitally for playback, use connections a and b, or a and c.
• To connect the recorder digitally for recording, use connection d.

Connection	AV receiver	Signal flow	Cassette, CDR, MD, or DAT recorder
a	TAPE IN L/R	←	Analog audio L/R output
	TAPE OUT L/R	→	Analog audio L/R input
b	DIGITAL COAXIAL IN 2	←	Digital coaxial output
c	DIGITAL OPTICAL IN 3	←	Digital optical output
d	DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT	→	Digital optical input

Connecting Onkyo RI Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (connection a in the hookup examples) (see pages 24 to 35).
Step 2: Make the RI connection.
Step 3: If you're using an MD, CDR, or HDD component, change the input display (see page 44).

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

Auto Power On/Standby

When you start playback on a component connected via RI, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically turn on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components connected via RI will also go on Standby. This function will not work on components connected to an AC OUTLET on the AV receiver.

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via RI, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver's multichannel DVD input, you'll need to press the [MULTI CH] button to hear all channels (see page 46), as the Direct Change RI function only selects the FRONT DVD IN jacks.

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 (see page 73).

Notes:

• Use only RL cables for RL connections. RL cables are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).
• Some components have two RI jacks. You can connect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is for connecting additional RI-capable components.
• Connect only Onkyo components to RI jacks. Connecting other manufacturer's components may cause a malfunction.
• Some components may not support all RI functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your other Onkyo components.

Connecting the Power Cord of Another Component

The AV receiver has an AC outlet on its rear panel for connecting the power cord of another AV component. The other component's power switch can then be left in the ON position so that it turns on or off when the AV receiver is set to On or Standby.

Caution:

Make sure that the capacity of the component that you connect to the AC OUTLET does not exceed the stated capacity (e.g., 100W).

Notes:

• Onkyo components with R1 jacks should be connected directly to wall outlets, not the AV receiver's AC OUTLET.
• The socket type and capacity will depend on the country in which you purchased the AV receiver.

Connecting the Power Cord

• Connect the AV receiver's power cord to a suitable wall outlet.

Notes:

• Before connecting the power cord, connect all of your speakers and AV components.
• Turning on the AV receiver may cause a momentary power surge that might interfere with other electrical equipment on the same circuit. If this is a problem, plug the AV receiver into a different branch circuit.

Turning On and Standby

Press the [STANDBY/ON] button.

Alternatively, press the remote controller's [RECEIVER] or [AMP] button, followed by the [ON/STANDBY] button.

The AV receiver comes on, the display lights up, and the STANDBY indicator goes off.

To turn the AV receiver off, press the [STANDBY/ON] button, or press the remote controller's [ON/STANDBY] button. The AV receiver will enter Standby mode. To prevent any loud surprises when you turn on the AV receiver, always turn down the volume before you turn it off.

Smooth Operation in a Few Easy Steps

To ensure smooth operation, here's a few easy steps to help you configure the AV receiver before you use it for the very first time. These settings only need to be made once.

Have you connected a component to an HDMI input, component video input, or digital audio input?

If you have, see "HDMI Video Setup" on page 40, "Component Video Setup" on page 41, or "Digital Input" on page 39 respectively.

Have you connected an Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-compatible component?

If you have, see "Changing the Input Display" on page 44.

■ Do the speaker configuration—this is essential!

See "Speaker Configuration" on page 42.

CD recorder, MD recorder, RI Dock, etc.

About the Onscreen Setup Menus

The onscreen setup menus are displayed on the connected TV and provide a convenient way to change the AV receiver's settings (The onscreen menus do not appear on a TV that's connected to the HDMI OUT).

Digital Input

If you connect a component to a digital input jack, you must assign that jack to an input selector. For example, if you connect your CD player to the OPTICAL IN2 jack, you should assign that jack to the CD input selector. By default, the COAXIAL IN1 jack is assigned to the DVD input selector, although this can be changed.

Here are the default assignments.

Input selector	Default assignment
DVD	HDMI1
VIDEO 1	OPT1
VIDEO 2	----
VIDEO 3	OPT2
TAPE	----
CD	OPT3

• There are no assignments for TUNER.
  VIDEO 4 is used only for digital input from the front panel terminals.

Examples:

If you connect your DVD player to the OPTICAL IN 2 jack, set "DVD" to "OPT2."

If you want to listen to audio from the component connected to the OPTICAL IN 3 jack when the VIDEO 1 input selector is selected, set "VIDEO1" to "OPT3."

If you want to listen to audio from the component connected to the COAX-IAL IN 1 jack when the VIDEO 2 input selector is selected, set "VIDEO2" to "COAX1."

For input selectors that you don't want to assign a digital input jack, set to "---- (analog)."

About the Listening Modes

The AV receiver's listening modes can transform your listening room into a movie theater or concert hall, with high fidelity and stunning surround sound.

The illustration shows which speakers are active in each listening mode with 5.1 channel speaker system.

Pure Audio (not North American models)

In this mode, the display and video circuitry are turned off, minimizing possible noise sources for the ultimate in high-fidelity reproduction. (As the video circuitry is turned off, only video signals input through HDMI IN can be output.)

Direct

In this mode, audio from the input source is output directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidelity reproduction. All of the source's audio channels are output as they are.

Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and subwoofer.

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke DVDs.

Dolby Pro Logic II expands any 2-channel source for 5.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops the listener. As well as music and movies, video games can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and vivid imaging.

- PLII Movie

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

PLII Music

Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).

- PLII Game

Use this mode with video games, especially those that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Dolby Digital

Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most common dig

ital surround-sound format, and it'll put you right in the middle of the action, just like being in a movie theater or concert hall.

The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to 5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is high-resolution DTS with a 96kHz sampling rate and 24-bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.

This mode expands any 2-channel source for 5.1-channel playback. It uses five full-bandwidth channels of matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing a very natural and seamless surround sound experience that fully envelops the listener.

Neo:6 Cinema

Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).

Neo:6 Music

Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).

(North American models only)

Neural Surround represents the latest advancement in surround technology developed for music and is adopted by XM Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcast of surround recordings and live events in surround sound. Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic frequency-domain processing, which allows delivery of a more detailed sound stage, with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements. System playback is scalable 5.1-channel surround playback.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is, while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other speakers, giving presence to even mono material.

Orchestra

Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the stereo image, and simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the impression of being right in front of the stage.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acoustic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TV Logic

This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire listening area with stereo sound from the front and surround speakers.

Full Mono

In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of where you are within the listening room.

T-D (Theater-Dimensional) or

With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround sound even with only two or three speakers. This works by controlling how sounds reach the listener's left and right ears. Good results may not be possible if there's too much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

This section explains how to record the current input source and how to dub audio onto your video recordings.

Notes:

• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.
• You cannot record from the DVD analog multichannel input.
• Various restrictions apply to digital recording. Refer to the manuals supplied with your digital recording equipment for more details.
• Digital signals received at COAXIAL IN/OPTICAL IN or HDMI IN 1/2 are only output by OPTICAL OUT. However, certain types of digital signal such as DVD-Audio signal input from HDMI IN will not be output. Analog input signals are output by only the analog outputs. There is no internal conversion from digital to analog or vice versa.
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don't attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.
• While the listening mode is set to Pure Audio, no image is provided because the power is turned off for the video circuit. If you want to make recordings, select other listening mode.

AV Recording

Audio sources can be recorded to a recorder (e.g., cassette deck, CDR, MD) connected to the TAPE OUT or DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT jacks. Video sources can be recorded to a video recorder (e.g., VCR, DVD recorder) connected to the to VIDEO 1 OUT or VIDEO 2 OUT jacks. See pages 23 to 36 for hookup information.

1 DVD VIDEO 3 TUNER VIDEO 4 CD	Use the input selector buttons to select the source that you want to record. You can watch the source while recording. The AV receiver's VOLUME control has no effect on recording.
2	On your recorder, start recording.
3	On the source component, start playback. If you select another input source during recording, that input source will be recorded.

Recording Separate AV Sources

Here you can record audio and video from completely separate sources, allowing you to overdub audio onto your video recordings. This function takes advantage of the fact that when an audio-only input source (i.e., TAPE, TUNER, or CD) is selected, the video input source remains unchanged.

In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN, and video from the camcorder connected to the VIDEO 4 INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by the VCR connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

: video signal
:audio signal

1	Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.
2	Prepare the VCR for recording.
3	Press the [VIDEO 4] input selector button.
4	Press the [CD] input selector button. This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.
5	Start recording on the VCR and start play-back on the camcorder and CD player. The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

Using the Late Night Function (Dolby Digital only)

With the Late Night function, you can reduce the dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you don't want to disturb anyone.

Press the [RECEIVER] or [AMP] button, and then press the [L NIGHT] button repeatedly to select:

Off: Late Night function off.

Low: Small reduction in dynamic range.

Input Channel Settings

Multiplex

This setting determines which channel is output from a stereo multiplex source. Use it to select audio channels or languages with multiplex sources, multilingual TV broadcasts, and so on.

Main: The main channel is output (default).

Sub: The sub channel is output.

Main/Sub: Both the main and sub channels are output.

Mono Input Ch

This setting specifies the channel to be used for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM source in the Mono listening mode.

L + R : Both the left and right channels are output (default).

Left: Only the left channel is output.

Right: Only the right channel is output.

PL II Music Mode Settings

These settings provide for playing any 2-channel digital source such as Dolby Digital, or 2-channel analog/PCM source in the PLII Music listening mode.

Panorama

With this function, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music listening mode.

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

Dimension

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music listening mode. It can be adjusted from -3 to +3 (default is 0). Lower settings move the sound field forward. Higher settings move it backward.

If the stereo image feels too wide, or there is too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it is in mono, or there is not enough surround sound, move it backward.

Center Width

With this function, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II Music listening mode. Normally if you are using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you are not using a center speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to the front left and right speakers to create a phantom center.) This setting controls the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default is 3).

Neo:6 Music Mode Setting

Center Image

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 5.1-channel surround sound from 2-channel (stereo) sources.

With this setting, you can specify by how much the front left and right channel output is attenuated in order to create the center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5 (default is 2). This setting is unavailable if no surround speakers are connected.

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (-6dB) , giving the impression that the sound is located centrally. This setting works well when the listening position is considerably off center. When set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenuated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

T-D Listening Setting

■ Listening Angle

With this setting, you can specify the angle of the front left and right speakers relative to the listening position. Processing for the Theater-Dimensional listening mode is based on this setting. Ideally, the front left and right speakers should be equidistant from the listening position and at an angle close to one of the two available settings.

Narrow: Select if the listening angle is 20 degrees.

Wide: Select if the listening angle is 40 degrees (default).

Assigning Listening Modes to Input Sources

You can assign a default listening mode to each input source that will be selected automatically when you select each input source. For example, you can set the default listening mode to be used with Dolby Digital input signals. You can select other listening modes during playback, but the mode specified here will be resumed once the AV receiver has been set to Standby.

• Make sure that the input source is properly selected (page 45).
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.
• Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 99, or MAX (page 45). The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment. It has a wide volume range, allowing precise adjustment.
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display, press the remote controller's [MUTING] button to unmute the AV receiver (page 47).

While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 47).
- If there's no sound from a DVD player connected to an HDMI IN, check the DVD player's output settings, and be sure to select a supported audio format.
- Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.
- With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
- If your turntable doesn't have a built-in phono preamp, you must connect one between it and the AV receiver. If your turntable uses an MC cartridge, you must connect an MC head amp, or an MC transformer and phono equalizer.
- Make sure that none of the connecting cables are bent, twisted, or damaged.
- Not all listening modes use all speakers (page 59).
- Specify the speaker distances (page 63) and adjust the individual speaker levels (page 64).
- Make sure that the speaker setup microphone is not still connected.
- The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto (page 70).

Only the center speaker produces sound

• If you use the Pro Logic II Movie, Pro Logic II Music, or Pro Logic II Game listening mode with a mono source, such as an AM radio station or mono TV program, the sound is concentrated in the center speaker.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 42).

The surround speakers produce no sound

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound (page 59).
• Depending on the source and current listening mode, not much sound may be produced by the surround speakers. Try selecting another listening mode.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 42).

The center speaker produces no sound

• When the Mono or Stereo listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound (page 59).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 42).

The subwoofer produces no sound

• When you play source material that contains no information in the LFE channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 42).

There's no sound with a certain signal format

• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some game consoles, such as those that support DVD, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.
  Depending on the input signal, some listening modes cannot be selected (page 58).

The volume cannot be set to 99

• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated (page 64), the maximum volume setting may change.

Noise can be heard

• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power cords, speaker cables, and so on may degrade the audio performance, so don't do it.
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try repositioning your cables.

The Late Night function doesn't work

• Make sure the source material is Dolby Digital (page 62).

The DVD analog multichannel input doesn't work

• Check the DVD analog multichannel input connections (page 26).
• To select the DVD analog multichannel input, press the [MULTI CH] input selector button.
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.

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, because the AV receiver does not switch formats immediately, you may not hear any sound, in which 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.
- When 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.

Video

There's no picture

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 18).
• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.
• If your video component is connected to a component video input, your TV must be connected to the component video output (page 23).
• If a video component is connected to an HDMI input, your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT.
• While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North American models) is selected, the video circuitry is turned off and only video signals input through HDMI IN can be output.
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.

There's no picture from a source connected to an HDMI IN

• If the message "Resolution Error" appears on the AV receiver's display, this indicates that the TV or display does not support the current video resolution and you need to select another resolution on your DVD player.

The onscreen menus don't appear

• The onscreen menus do not appear on a TV that's connected to the HDMI OUT.
• Make sure that the video settings are correct (page 40).
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.

The immediate display does not appear

• The immediate display appears on a device connected to the COMPONENT Video OUT, when the Component Video Setup (page 41) is set to "---".
• The immediate display does not appear on a device connected to the HDMI OUT.

Tuner

Reception is noisy, FM stereo reception is noisy, or the FM STEREO indicator doesn't appear

• Relocate your antenna.
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or computer.
• Listen to the station in mono (page 48).
• When listening to an AM station, operating the remote controller may cause noise.
  Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.
  Concrete walls weaken radio signals.
• If nothing improves the reception, install an outdoor antenna.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn't work

• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 12).
• Install new batteries. Don't mix different types of batteries, or old and new batteries (page 12).
• Make sure that the remote controller is not too far away from the AV receiver, and that there's no obstruction between the remote controller and the AV receiver's remote control sensor (page 12).
• Make sure that the AV receiver is not subjected to direct sunshine or inverter-type fluorescent lights. Relocate if necessary.
• If the AV receiver is installed in a rack or cabinet with colored-glass doors, the remote controller may not work reliably when the doors are closed.
• Make sure you've selected the correct remote controller mode (pages 13-16).
• When using the remote controller to control other manufacturers' AV components, some buttons may not work as expected.
• Make sure you've entered the correct remote control code.
• Make sure to set the same ID on both the AV receiver and remote controller (pages 69 and 71).

Can't record

• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected (e.g., digital or analog).
• When the Pure Audio listening mode (not North American models) is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Select another listening mode.

Others

The sound changes when I connect my headphones

• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening mode is set to Stereo, unless it's already set to Stereo, Mono, Direct, or Pure Audio (not North American models).

The speaker distance cannot be set as required

• In some cases, corrected values suitable for home theater use may be set automatically.

The display doesn't work

• The display is turned off when the Pure Audio (not North American models) listening mode is selected.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source

• Use the "a. Multiplex" setting on the "Audio Adjust" menu to select Main or Sub (page 66).

The RI functions don't work

• To use RI, you must make an RI connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the component and AV receiver, even if they are connected digitally (page 36).

The following settings can be made for the component video, S-Video, and composite video inputs

You must use the buttons on the unit to make these settings.

If you have a games console connected to a component video, S-Video or composite video input, and the picture isn't very clear, you can attenuate the gain.

Video ATT:0: (default).

Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lockup. In the unlikely event that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds, and then plug it back in again.

Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by the unit's malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded correctly.

The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other settings when it's unplugged or in the case of a power failure. Although no batteries are required, the AV receiver must be plugged into an AC outlet in order to charge the backup system.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, set the AV receiver to Standby.
