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 3 feet (1 meter) above the listener’s ear level and facing toward the sides of the room, making sure that the listener is within the speakers’ dis- persion 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 speakers instruction manual for more details.

Listening to RDS broadcasts (European models only) Listening to RDS broadcasts PTY program types in Europe RDS reception is available only on the European model and only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available. What is RDS? RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a type of FM broadcasting. RDS was developed within the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is available in most European countries. Many FM broadcasting stations now transmit the RDS signals, which provide the additional information required. RDS provides you with various services so that you can choose a station that broadcasts your favorite categories of music, news, or other information. There are three main classifications of RDS broadcasts. Though they can be tuned into by using the Tuning buttons as normal stations, RDS broadcasts allow you to scan for stations of the type and classification for which you are looking. This makes it much easier for you to find the station you want (see “Performing a PTY scan” and “Performing a TP scan” on page 24). The three main classifications are explained below. RT: Radio Text ‘When an RDS station broadcasting RT information is selected, the text information received from the station is displayed. PTY: Program Type ‘When an RDS station broadcasting PTY information is selected, the Station type (classification) is displayed. TP: Traffic Program When an RDS station broadcasting TP information is selected, traffic information will be broadcasted periodically. Notes: +_In some cases, the characters displayed on the display of the TX- DS595 may not be exactly the same as the ones broadcast by the radio station. Also, unusual characters may appear on the display if the TX-DS595 receives characters that cannot be displayed correctly. This is not a malfunction. + When an RDS station broadcasting PS information is selected, the name of the station is displayed instead of the frequency. The text given in parenthesis is what is actually displayed on the TX- DS595. None (NONE): No program type. News reports (NEWS): Reports on current events and happenings. Current affairs (AFFAIRS): Topical reporting of current affairs, often with a wider range of topics than news reports. Information (INFO): General information such as weather forecasts, consumer affairs, medical help, etc. Sport (SPORT): Live sports action, sports news, and interviews. Education (EDUCATE): Formal educational programs. Drama (DRAMA): Radio plays and serials. Culture (CULTURE): Cultural programs (including religious affairs). Science and technology (SCIENCE): Programs about the natural sciences and technology. Varied (VARIED): Speech-based programs not covered by the above categories (e.g., quizzes, panel games, and comedy). Pop music (POP M): Popular commercial music, usually from past or present sales charts (e.g., Top 40). Rock music (ROCK M): Popular music with an alternative appeal, often not appearing on sales charts. Middle of the road music (M.O.R. M): Easy listening music (as opposed to Pop, Rock, or Classical). Light classics (LIGHT M): Classical music for general rather than specialist appreciation. Serious classics (CLASSICS): Performances of major orchestral works, symphoni musie, etc. (including the Grand Opera). , chamber Other music (OTHER M): Music styles not covered by the above categories (e.g., Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Folk, Country, and Reggae). + Alarm (ALARM): When an RDS station is making an emergency broadcast, this ALARM will flash on the display.

Using listening mode The TX-DS595’s surround sound enables you to enjoy the presence of a movie theater or concert hall in your room. The configuration of the speakers are very important for the surround sound. Refer to “Connecting speakers” on page 15. Before using a listening mode, make sure the Speaker Setup parameters have been set (refer to page 19) . Once the parameters have been set, it is not necessary to set them again. Refer to page 25 for information regarding how to select the listening mode. Listening modes Stereo This mode has all input sounds output from the left and right front speakers. Direct This mode delivers pure sound with minimum sound quality adjustment and filtration. The sound recorded for the right and left front channels is output to the right and left front speakers only and not output to the subwoofer. Surround modes With this mode, decoding is performed automatically to match the input signal. This original mode adds no sound processing to the input signal. + Dolby D (Dolby Digital) Digital data with AC-3 compression and a maximum of 5.1- channel* surround sound. This source signal comes from DVDs and LDs that have the mark and therefore recorded for 5.1- channel output. This source also comes from digital satellite broadcasts that support dolby Digital. + DTS DTS (Digital Theater System) is compressed digital data with a maximum 5.1-channel* surround output that allows for an extremely high-quality sound. This source signal requires a DVD player that supports DTS output and comes from compact dises, DVDs, and LDs that have the ## mark. Notes on DTS: +_If you play a CD or LD that supports DTS when the “ANALOG” setting is selected on the TX-DS595, 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 selected “AUTO” and use the digital input jacks (OPTICAL or COAXIAL) to connect the DTS source. + The DTS indicator on the TX-DS59$ lights while a DTS source is played. When playback finishes and the DTS signal transmission stops, the TX-DS595 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 is immediately switched from DTS to PCM, the PCM signal may not be played. In this case, stop the playback of the source on the player for about three seconds and then resume playback. +_If you press the pause or skip button on the player while playing a DTS source, on rare occasions a short noise may be heard. This is not a malfunction. + You may not be able to play some DTS source signals from certain CD players and LD players even if you connect the player to the TX-DS595 digitally. This is because the digital Signal has been processed (such as the output level, sampling frequency, or frequency response) and the TX-DS595 cannot recognize the signal as DTS data. Therefore you may hear noise when you play a DTS source while processing the

signal. + The outputs for the VIDEO 1 OUT and TAPE OUT output analog audio signals. Do not record from CDs or LDs that support DTS using these outputs. If you do, the DTS-encoded signal will be recorded as noise.

• The 5.1-channel digital surround format has a variety of versions including Dolby Digital and DTS. The 5.1- channel digital surround format enables you to individually record and play five full-range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) channels (left and right front, center, and two surround channels) plus an LFE channel (Low Frequency Effect) for the low-range effect sound. It will create a realistic sound that can be heard in the theaters and concert halls. + DOLBY PRO LOGIC II Surround This mode is a new generation 5-channel surround system that provides performance between the 4-channel (left front, right front, center, and monaural surround) Pro Logic Surround and the 5.1-channel Dolby Digital Surround. This mode can be set to the Movie mode designed for playing movies and the Music mode designed for listening to music. The Movie mode is monaural except for a stereo narrow band for the surround channels. The result is movie viewing with a realistic feel of movement. The Music mode uses the surround channels to provide a natural sound space that cannot be provided with normal stereo output. This mode can be used with VHS and DVD videos with the Dose) mark and certain television programs. The Music mode can be used with music compact discs and other stereo sources. You can press the SURR button on the remote controller to switch between MOVIE and MUSIC. The initial setting is MOVIE. This setting can be made for each input source. If no surround speakers are connected, then the surround sound is divided and output from the front left and right channels (3 stereo). Re-EQ function You can use the Cinema Re-Equalization function when playing back sources in the Dolby Digital Surround and Dolby Pro Logic II Surround modes (see page 9). LATE NIGHT When using Dolby Digital, you can use the LATE NIGHT function (see page 32). Orchestra This mode is appropriate for classical and opera music. The center channel is cut and the surround channels are emphasized to widen the stereo image. It will simulate the natural reverberation that is created in large halls. TV Logic This mode gives realistic acoustics to TV programs that are aired from TV studios. It enhances the entire surround sound and clarity of the conversation. Unplugged This mode is suitable for acoustical instrumental sounds, vocals, and jazz music. By emphasizing the front stereo image, it will simulate the acoustics that you would experience in front of the stage. Studio-Mix This mode is for rock and popular music. The lively sounds are enhanced for a powerful acoustic image that simulates the feeling of being in a club or rock concert. AII Ch Stereo This mode is designed for playing background music. The front, surround, and surround back channels create a stereo image that encompasses the entire area.

These settings can be set differently for each input source. Audio Setup Digital Input (D. INPUT): This setting tells the TX-DS595 which input source button on the front panel is connected with which digital input jack on the rear panel. If you have connected your components in accordance with the default settings (given in the table below), then there is no need to change this setting. Multichannel (MULTICH): This setting will not appear if AM or FM is selected at the front panel for the input source. The initial settings are “Yes” for the DVD input source and “No” for all other input sources. This setting is normally set to “NO,” and only needs to be changed to “YES” if a DVD player, MPEG decoder, or other component that has a multi channel port is connected to the MULTI CHANNEL INPUT port for 5.1-channel audio.

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote controller 5to15cm (2 to 6 inches) SEND/LEARN indicator buttons

Programming procedure When programming the commands of another remote controller to the RC-447M remote controller, you must first decide under which MODE button you want the commands to be linked. In general, you will select the MODE button that corresponds to the component you are programming. For example, if you are programming the functions from a remote controller for a compact disc player, you would choose the CD MODE button. Then, by pressing the CD MODE button, the buttons on the RC-447M remote controller will change to the commands you program here to operate the compact disc player. After programming which MODE button to use, you will then transfer the separate commands from the other remote controller over to the RC-447M remote controller one at a time. Each command is then programmed to a different button on the RC-447M remote controller, Any button is programmable for thi: p except for the eight MODE buttons (RCVR, CD, DVD, MD, SAT, CABLE, VCR, and TV) and the two MACRO buttons (DIRECT and MODE). Even after the commands have been memorized, keep your old remote controller in a safe place. If for some reason the commands are lost (e.8., when the batteries run down), it will be necessary to memorize them once again.

1. Place the remote controller and the remote controller

for the other device facing each other at a distance of 5 to 15 cm (2 to 6 inches) apart.

2. While pressing and holding down the desired MODE

button on the remote controller, press the ENTER button and then release both buttons. When you press and hold down the MODE button, the SEND/ LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again.

3. Press and release the button on the remote controller

to which you want to transfer the next command. You may select any button but the ten ones indicated in the figure below. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights again. If you press the wrong button by mistake, press that same button again. The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote controller

4. Press and hold down the button (that corresponds to Notes:

the command you are programming) on the remote controller of the other device until the SEND/LEARN lamp on the remote controller flashes twice. After flashing twice, the SEND/LEARN indicator will light again. . Repeat Steps 3 and 4 to transfer all the commands you desire from the other remote controller and program them to buttons on the remote controller under the same MODE. Repeat Steps 2 through 4 to program commands to a different MODE (e.g., when programming from a different remote controller). . Press the MODE button that you pressed in step 2 to complete the programming. . Operate the newly programmed buttons to make sure the learning function was performed properly. he remote controller codes for Onkyo compact disc players, cassette tape decks, DVD players, and mini disc recorder have already been programmed into buttons on the remote controller. You may, however, use these buttons to program the codes for other remote controllers. If you wish to restore the Onkyo preset codes after you program new codes, you must first erase the new codes (see page 44). The remote controller has 408 memory slots (8 modes x 51 buttons). Some remote controllers may have more commands that can be remembered by the remote controller. In such cases, it will be necessary for you to determine which commands are more important than others. If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, or if you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 2. If a failure occurs during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3. If a failure occurs five times in row during programming, the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 3. If you try to program beyond the learning capacity of the remote controller, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes six times quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Try programming under a different MODE button. When you want to program a command to a button to which you have already programmed a command, simply follow the same procedure given and programming for that button will be overwritten. The remote controller uses infrared rays to send its commands, as do most other remote controllers. Though most remote controller codes can be memorized by the remote controller, be aware that some remote controllers use a system that is quite different from the remote controller and therefore may not be able to be programmed. Some remote controllers have a single button that performs multiple functions (for example, the function may change each time the button is pressed). If this is the case, each function must be programmed to a separate button on the remote controller. Once you have transferred the commands from the other remote controller, refer to the instruction manual that came with that product for instructions on how to operate that product. Make sure both the remote controller and the other remote controller have new batteries. If either of them has batteries that are low, you may not be able to program the commands of the other remote controller properly into the remote controller. See page 48 for how to erase the memorized commands from all buttons.

Programming the commands of remote controllers for other devices into the remote controller SEND/LEARN indicator — MODE buttons Erasing the programmed command from one button You can only erase memorized commands and not preset ones.

Press and hold down the desired MODE button for the command, press the ENTER button, and then release both buttons. When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp lights again. Press and release the button for the command you wish to erase. When you press the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the lamp lights again. Press and release the same button again. The SEND/LEARN lamp flashes twice slowly. The memorized command is erased. Note: If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the erasing

rocedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step

When you press the ENTER button, the lamp turns off. When you release the buttons, the lamp flashes twice slowly and then lights again. Press and release the same MODE button again. When you release the button, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly. This erases all the commands memorized to the MODE button. Notes: +_If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the erasing procedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1. +_If you perform an invalid operation during erasing, the SEND/ LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the remote controller exits the erasing mode. Resume from Step 1. +_If many commands have been programmed to the MODE button, then the SEND/LEARN indicator may remain lit for up to 20 seconds during Step 2. This is not a malfunction.

Using a Macro function What is a Macro function? A Macro function enables you to program a series of button operations (up to 16) on the remote controller into a single button. For example, to play a compact disc player connected to the TX- DS595 normally, you must perform the following steps:

By using the macro function, you can perform the above five operations by only pressing two buttons.

INPUT SELECTOR) Tips: +_If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in a macro, that operation of that button will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram the macro in order to avoid incorrect operation. + The codes programmed into a macro will be transmitted at 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, after pressing one operation button, you can press the same MODE button again before pressing the next operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two operations. Programming a Macro function You can program a different macro into the MODE MACRO button for each of the eight MODE buttons. The macro is then executed by pressing the appropriate MODE button and then pressing the MODE MACRO button. For example, to program the macro described above into the CD MODE button, perform the steps given below.

1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button (in

this case, the CD MODE button), press the MODE MACRO button, and then release both buttons. When you press the CD MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights and the CD MODE button lights green.
