4. Power

WARNING

BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY.

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the unit's rear panel (e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).

Some models have a voltage selector switch for compatibility with power systems around the world. Before you plug in such a model, make sure that the voltage selector is set to the correct voltage for your area.

Setting the [STANDBY/ON] switch to STANDBY does not fully shutdown the unit. If you do not intend to use the unit for an extended period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.

1. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never handle this unit or its power cord while your hands are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo dealer.

6. Handling Notes

• If you need to transport this unit, use the original packaging to pack it how it was when you originally bought it.
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit for a long time, because they may leave marks on the case.
• This unit's top and rear panels may get warm after prolonged use. This is normal.
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may not work properly the next time you turn it on, so be sure to use it occasionally.

Memory Backup

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. Once it has been charged, the AV receiver will retain the settings for several weeks, although this depends on the environment and will be shorter in humid climates.

For British models

Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power supply cord of this unit should be performed only by qualified service personnel.

IMPORTANT

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

IMPORTANT

The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse. If the power cord's plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, cut if off and fit a suitable plug.

Modèle canadien

REMARQUE: CET APPAREIL NUMÉRIQUE DE LA CLASSE B EST CONFORME À LA NORME NMB-003 DU CANADA.

• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air conditioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers. If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units may be damaged.
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause damage, will affect the sound quality.
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright vertical position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or tilted position.
• If the unit is used near a turntable or CD player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable or CD player otherwise lower the unit's output level.

Using Close to a TV or Computer

TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or picture distortion when conventional speakers are placed nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-330F and SKC-330C feature internal magnetic shielding. In some situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue, in which case you should 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. If discoloration problems persist, try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor. Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet or demagnetizing tool that's too close to your TV or monitor.

Do not place SKM-330 close to TV or a computer monitor because they have no magnetic shield.

Input Signal Warning

The speakers can handle the specified input power when used for normal music reproduction. If any of the following signals are fed to them, even if the input power is within the specified rating, excessive current may flow in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:

1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator, electronic musical instrument, and so on.
4. Amplifier oscillation.
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or disconnecting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier before connecting or disconnecting cables.)
7. Microphone feedback.

Connecting Your Speakers

Enjoying Home Theater

You can use two sets of speakers with the AV receiver: speaker set A and speaker set B.

Speaker set A should be installed in your main listening room and can be used with Dolby Digital and DTS surround material. Each speaker must be positioned at a specific location in your listening room to get the best from surround sound material. The following illustration shows the best positions for your surround-sound speakers. If the multichannel DVD input is selected, and speaker set B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced to 2-channel playback.

Speaker set B can be installed in another room. Speakers can be positioned in the standard position for stereo speakers or however you like.

Front left and right speakers (SKF-330F L/R)

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 (SKC-330C)

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 (preferably on top) facing forward at about ear level, or at the same height as the front left and right speakers.

Subwoofer (SKW-330)

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.

Surround left and right speakers (SKM-330S L/R)

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.

To get the very best from your surround-sound system, you should also specify the distance between the listener and each individual speaker so that the sound from each speaker arrives at the listener's ears at the same time (see page 51). In addition, you should set the level of each individual speaker to achieve an equal balance (see page 51.)

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• You can connect speakers with an impedance of 8 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.
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. In other words, connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (-) terminals to only 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.
• 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 Speaker

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
Subwoofer	Purple

1 Strip 3 / 8'' (10 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables.

2 While pressing the lever, insert the wire into the hole, and then release the lever.

Make sure that the terminals are gripping the bare wires, not the insulation.

Note:

When speaker set B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.

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

Connecting Your Speakers—Continued

Wall Mounting

The speakers can easily be wall mounted by using the keyhole slots. To prevent the speaker from vibrating against the wall, attach four of the supplied spacers to the keyhole fins on the rear of each speaker.

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

Front speaker (SKF-330F) Surround speaker (SKM-330S)

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

Center speaker (SKC-330C)

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 5 / 16'' (7 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.)

Using Speaker Mounts/Brackets

Threaded inserts for machine screws are provided on the rear of each speaker for wall-mounting with commercially available speaker mounts or brackets. North American models require 1/4-inch screws. Other models require M5 (5 mm) screws. Refer to the manual supplied with your mounts or brackets for installation details.

Note:

The portion of the screw that goes into the speaker's threaded insert should be between 1/4'' - 5/16'' (5 mm - 8 mm) long.

Using Rubber Stoppers with the Speakers

We recommend using the provided rubber stopers to achieve the best possibe sound from your speakers. The rubber stoppers prevent the spekars from moving, providing a more stable setup.

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.

American Model

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 Fully extend the antenna and point it in various directions to find the best reception. Secure it in that position with thumbtacks or something similar.

If you cannot achieve good reception with the supplied indoor FM antenna, try a commercially available outdoor FM antenna instead (see page 21).

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 21).

Connecting Antenna—Continued

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 Your Components

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 jack has shutter-type cover 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.

Connecting Your Components—Continued

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.

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, such as a DVD player, you must make two connections—one for audio, one for video.

Audio Connection Formats

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

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn't convert between formats.

For example, audio signals connected to an OPTICAL or COAXIAL digital input are not output by the analog TAPE OUT, so if you want to record from, for example, your CD player, in addition to connecting it to a digital input, you must also connect it to the analog CD IN.

Connecting Onkyo R1 Components

Step 1: Be sure that the Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).

Step 2: Make the RI connection.

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

Auto Power On/Standby

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

Direct Change

When playback is started on a component connected via RI, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as the input source. If the DVD player is connected to the AV receiver's multichannel input, you must press the [MULTI CH] button (see page 37) to listen to all channels because the Direct Change RI function selects only the DVD IN FRONT jacks.

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 is for connecting additional RI-compatible components.
• Connect the AV receiver's RI jack to only Onkyo components. Connecting to other manufacturer's components may cause them to malfunction.
• Some components may not support all R functions. Refer to the manuals supplied with your components.

Connecting the Power Cord

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.

About the Listening Modes

With its built-in surround-sound decoders and DSP programs, the AV receiver can transform your home listening room into a movie theater or concert hall.

The AV receiver's surround indicators show which speakers are active in each listening mode.

Front left

Center

Front right

Surround left

Surround

right

Direct

The selected input source is output directly with minimal processing for a pure sound.

Stereo

The selected input source is processed as a stereo signal and output by the front left and right speakers and the subwoofer.

Mono

Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono soundtrack, or to select multilingual soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of some movies. It can also be used when playing a DVD or other source with multiplexed audio, such as a karaoke DVD.

Dolby Pro Logic II Movie

Use this mode with DVDs and videos that bear the Dolby Surround

logo or TV shows that feature Dolby Surround. You can also use this mode with stereo movies or TV shows and the AV receiver will create a 5.1 surround mix from the 2-channel stereo.

Dolby Pro Logic II Music

Use this mode to add 5.1 surround to stereo sources such as music CDs and DVDs.

Dolby Digital

DOLBY

With this format you can experience the same superb sound that you get at a movie theater or concert hall. Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital logo.

DTS

This digital surround format offers a surround sound experience with exceptional fidelity. It uses compressed digital audio data, with six discrete channels (5.1), and the ability to handle large amounts of audio data while remaining faithful to the original. DTS provides very high-quality sound. You'll need a DTS compatible DVD player in order to enjoy DTS material. Use this mode with DVDs and CDs that bear the DTS logo.

Neo:6

This mode provides 5.1-channel playback from 2-channel sources. It offers five full-bandwidth channels with excellent separation. There are two modes of operation: Cinema mode for movies, and Music mode for listening to music.

Cinema mode simulates the realistic sense of movement that you get with 5.1-channel surround sound sources. Use this mode with videos, DVDs, and TV shows that feature stereo sound.

Music mode uses the surround channels to simulate a natural sound field that cannot be produced with conventional stereo. Use this mode with stereo material such as music CDs.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie

This mode is suitable for use with old movies and other mono sound 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. The surround channels are emphasized in order to widen the stereo image. In addition, it simulates the natural reverberation of a large hall.

Unplugged

Suitable for acoustic instrument sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it simulates the stage-front experience.

Studio-Mix

Suitable for rock and 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

• Adds realistic acoustics to TV shows produced in a TV studio. In addition, it adds surround effects to the entire sound and adds clarity to voices.

All Ch Stereo

Ideal for background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that fills the entire listening area.

Full Mono

In this mode, all speakers output mono audio, so the music sounds the same regardless of where you are.

Adjusting the Listening Modes

Using the Audio Adjust Functions

These functions only work with speaker set A.

Audio Adjust provides various functions for adjusting the sound.

Press the [RECEIVER] button followed by the [SETUP] button.

Use the Up and Down [ ] / [ ] buttons to select "4. Audio Adjust," and then press the [ENTER] button.

Main: The main channel is output (default).

Sub: The sub channel is output.

M/S: Both the main and sub channels are output.

Mono (2ch)

This setting determines which channel is output when the Mono listening mode is used with a stereo source.

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

L: Only the left channel is output.
R: Only the right channel is output.

Adjusting the Listening Modes—Continued

PL II Music Mode Settings

These settings apply to only 2-channel (stereo) sources.

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. The default setting is 3. Higher settings move the sound field forward. Lower settings move it backward. If the stereo image feels too wide, or there's too much surround sound, move the sound field forward to improve the balance. Conversely, if the stereo image feels like it's in mono, or there's 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're using a center speaker, the center channel sound is output by only the center speaker. (If you're 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).

DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting

Center Image

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 5-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 3). 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.

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] button, and then press the [L NIGHT] button repeatedly to select:

Off: Late Night function off.

Low: Small reduction in dynamic range.

High: Big reduction in dynamic range.

Notes:

• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the Dolby Digital material that you are playing, and with some material there will be little or no effect.
• The Late Night function is set to Off when the AV receiver is set to Standby.

Using the CinemaFILTER

With the CinemaFILTER, you can soften overly bright movie soundtracks, which are typically mixed for reproduction in a movie theater.

CinemaFILTER can be used with the following listening modes: Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic II Movie, DTS, and DTS Neo:6 Cinema.

Press the [RECEIVER] button, and then press the [CINE FLTR] button repeatedly to select:

On: CinemaFILTER on.

Off: CinemaFILTER off.

Recording

This chapter explains how to record the selected input source to an AV component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from two different sources.

Recording the Input Source

You can record only to AV components that are connected to the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

See pages 22-31 for information on connecting your AV components to the AV receiver.

1 DVD VIDEO 1 VCR VIDEO 2 VIDEO 3 TAPE TUNER CD Remote controller V1 V2 V3 DVD TAPE TUNER CD	Use the input selector buttons to select the AV component that you want to record. Audio signals from the selected input source are output by the VIDEO 1 OUT and TAPE OUT jacks. You can listen to the source while recording. The AV receiver's VOL-UME control has no effect on recording.
2	Start recording on the AV component connected to the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.
3	Start playback on the source AV component.

Notes:

• You cannot record from AV components that are connected to the digital inputs. You must use analog connections.
• The surround effects produced by the surround and DSP listening modes cannot be recorded.
• You cannot record from an AV component that is connected to the multichannel input.
• If you select another input source while recording, that input source will be recorded instead.

Recording from Different AV Sources

With this function, you can record audio and video from different 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. For example, if you first select the VIDEO 3 input source, followed by the CD input source, you can watch the video from the VIDEO 3 input and listen to the audio from the CD input.

In the following example, audio from the CD player connected to the CD IN jacks, and video from the camcorder connected to the VIDEO 3 IN jack are recorded by the VCR, which is connected to the VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

1. Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.
2. Prepare the VCR for recording.
3. Press the [VIDEO 3] 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.

1. Start recording on the VCR and start playback on the camcorder and CD player.

The video from the camcorder and the audio from the CD player are recorded by the VCR.

Advanced Setup

Advanced Speaker Settings

The advanced speaker settings cannot be changed while headphones are connected, Speaker set B is on, or the multichannel input is being used.

Crossover Frequency

To get the best bass performance from your speaker system, you need to set the crossover frequency according to the size and frequency response of your subwoofer and other speakers (front, center, and surround).

If you're not using a subwoofer, use the diameter of the first speaker that you specified as Small in steps 4 through 7 in the "Speaker configuration" setting (see page 34).

Speaker cone diameter	Crossover frequency
Over 8 in. (20 cm)	60Hz
6-1/2 to 8 in. (16–20 cm)	80Hz
5-1/4 to 6-1/2 in. (13–16 cm)	100Hz
3-1/2 to 5-1/4 in. (9–13 cm)	120Hz
Under 3-1/2 in. (9 cm)	150Hz

Continue with step 4 of the "Double Bass" setting.

Note:

• For a more accurate setting, look up the frequency response in the manuals supplied with your speakers and set accordingly. In addition, listen to some music that you know well and choose a higher crossover frequency if you think there's not enough sound coming from the subwoofer; a lower setting if you think there's too much.

Double Bass

With the Double Bass function, you can boost bass output by feeding bass sounds from the front left and right channels to the subwoofer. This function can be set only if the Subwoofer setting (step 3) is set to Yes, and the Front setting (step 4) is set to Large in the Speaker Configuration on page 34.

Use the Down [▼] button to select "Double Bass," and then use the Left and Right [▲]/[▶] buttons to select:

Troubleshooting

If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a solution in this section. If you can't resolve the issue yourself, contact your Onkyo dealer.

Power

Can't turn on the AV receiver?

• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the wall outlet.
• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait five seconds or more, then plug it in again.

The AV receiver turns off as soon as it's turned on?

• The amp protection circuit has been activated. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet immediately. Disconnect all speaker cables and input sources, and leave the AV receiver with its power cord disconnected for one hour. After that, reconnect the power cord, and then set the volume to maximum. If the AV receiver stays on, set the volume to minimum, disconnect the power cord, and reconnect your speakers and input sources properly. If the AV receiver turns off when you set the volume to maximum, disconnect the power cord, and contact your Onkyo dealer.

Audio

There's no sound or it's very quiet?

• Make sure that the digital input source is selected properly (page 33). Press the [DIGITAL INPUT] button repeatedly.
• Make sure that all audio connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 22).
• Make sure that the polarity of the speaker cables is correct, and that the bare wires are in contact with metal part of each speaker terminal (page 18)
• Make sure that the speaker cables are not shorting.
• Check the volume. It can be set to MIN, 1 through 79, or MAX (page 36). The AV receiver is designed for home theater enjoyment and has a wide volume range for precise adjustment.
• If the MUTING indicator is shown on the display, press the remote controller's [MUTING] button to unmute the AV receiver (page 42).
• While a pair of headphones is connected to the PHONES jack, no sound is output by the speakers (page 43).
• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some games consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio format from a menu.
• If your turntable doesn't have a phono preamp built-in, 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 a phono preamp.

• Specify the speaker distances and adjust the individual speaker levels (pages 51, 52).
• The input signal format is set to PCM or DTS. Set it to Auto (page 52).

Only the front speakers produce sound?

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, only the front speakers and subwoofer produce sound.
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 34).

Only the center speaker produces sound?

• If you use the Pro Logic II Movie or Pro Logic II Music 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 34).

The surround speakers produce no sound?

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the surround speakers produce no sound (page 44).
• 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 34).

The center speaker produces no sound?

• When the Stereo or Mono listening mode is selected, the center speaker produces no sound (page 44).
• Make sure the speakers are configured correctly (page 34).

The subwoofer produces no sound?

• The subwoofer outputs no sound while only speaker set B is on. Turn on speaker set A.
• 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 34).
• If the multichannel DVD input is selected and speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 2-channel playback, so the subwoofer outputs no sound.
• On the AV receiver, the subwoofer setting in the speaker configuration is set to No. Set the subwoofer setting to Yes.

Troubleshooting—Continued

There's no sound with a certain signal format?

• Check the digital audio output setting on the connected device. On some games consoles, such as those that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an audio output format from a menu.

Can't get 5.1-channel playback?

• When speaker B is turned on, speaker set A is reduced to 2.1-channel playback.

The volume cannot be set to 79?

• When the levels of all speakers have been calibrated (page 51), 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 48).

The DVD analog multichannel input doesn't work?

• Check the DVD analog multichannel input connections (page 25).
• 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 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.

Video

There's no picture?

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 22).
• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.

Tuner

Reception is noisy, stereo FM reception suffers from hiss, 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 38).
• 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.

Troubleshooting—Continued

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn't work?

• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 7).
• 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 7).
• Make sure you've selected the correct remote controller mode (page 12).
• Make sure you've entered the correct remote control code.

Can't control other components?

• Make sure you've selected the correct remote controller mode (page 12).
• To control cassette tape deck, point the remote controller at the AV receiver.
• To control Onkyo CD player or MD/CD recorder, point the remote controller at that component.

Recording

Can't record?

• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is selected.
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs with the same name (e.g., TAPE IN to TAPE OUT, or VIDEO 1 IN to VIDEO 1 OUT).

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.

How do I change the language of a multiplex source?

• Use the "Multiplex" setting on the "4. Audio Adjust" menu to select Main or Sub (page 47).

The 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 31).

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.

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults, turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1/VCR] button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. "Clear" will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter Standby mode.
