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.

AM antenna push terminals [= FM antenna jack

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.

Connecting the Indoor FM Antenna

The supplied indoor FM antenna is for indoor use only.

1 Attach the FM antenna, as shown.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

Insert the plug fully into the jack.

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

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 out- door FM antenna instead (see page 19).

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’Il 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 à commer- cially available outdoor AM antenna (see page 19).

SP TX-SREOL En.book Page 19 Thursday, February 2, 2006 3:46 PM Connecting Antennas—Continued

Connecting an Outdoor FM Antenna

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

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 possi- ble 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 haz- ards.

ΠUsing a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

ICS best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir- cumstances 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 horizon- tally outside, 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.

Using RDS (European Models Only)

RDS only works with European models and only in areas where RDS broadcasts are available.

When tuned into an RDS station, the RDS indicator appears.

RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail- able in most European countries. Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to displaying text information, RDS can also help you find radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).

The AV receiver supports four types of RDS informa- tion:

PS (Program Service) ‘When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting PS information, the station’s name will be displayed. P: ing the [DISPLAY] button will display the frequency for 3 seconds.

‘When tuned to an RDS station that's broadcasting text information, the text will be shown on the display (see page 41).

PTY (Program Type) This allows you to search for RDS radio stations by type (see page 41).

TP (Traffic Program)

This allows you to search for RDS radio stations that broadcast traffic information (see page 41).

In some cases, the text characters displayed on the AV receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be dis- played when unsupported characters are received. This is not a malfunction.

If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

DIGITAL Neural Surround

(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 sur- round 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 from 5.1 to 7.1 multichannel surround playback.

Onkyo Original DSP Modes

Mono Movie E RE 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.

= 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 Æ 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 musie, listening to music in this mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous- tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.

TVLogie RAR This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro- duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire sound, and clarity to voices.

AllCh Stereo "EE Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis- tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround, and surround back 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.

4 Press the [SETUP] button.

The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.

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

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.

PLII and PLIIx Music Mode Settings

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

H Panorama With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic Ix Music listening mode.

On: Panorama function on.

Off: Panorama function off (default).

With this setting, you can move the sound field forward or backward when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic Ix Music listening mode. The default value is 3. It can be adjusted from 0 to 6. 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.

With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound from the center speaker when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx Music listening mode. Normally, 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

adjusts the front left, right, and center mix, allowing you 10 adjust the weight of the center channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7 (default value is 3).

DTS Neo:6 Music Mode Setting

The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-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 value is 2). This setting has no effect if no center speaker is connected.

When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is attenuated by half (6 dB), 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 attenu- ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.

Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting

H Dolby EX This setting determines how Dolby Digital EX signals are handled. This setting is unavailable if no surround back speakers are connected or speaker set B is on. Auto: If the source signal contains a Dolby Digital EX flag, the Dolby Digital EX listening mode is used (default). Manual: You can select Pro Logic IIx Movie, Pro Logic IIx Music, Dolby Digital, or Dolby Digital EX.

Multichannel Subwoofer Setting

On some DVD players, the signal from the multichannel subwoofer output is 15 dB higher than normal. You can change the subwoofer sensitivity to match your DVD player. Note that this setting only affects signals con- nected to the SUBWOOFER input jack of the multichan- nel DVD input.

You can select 0 dB (default), +5 dB, +10 dB, or +15 dB. If you find that your subwoofer is 100 loud, try the

+10 dB or +15 dB setting.

SP TX-SREOL En.book Page 54 Thursday, February 2, 2006 3:46 PM Recording

This section explains how to record the selected input source to a component with recording capability, and how to record audio and video from different sources.

Recording the Input Source

You can only record to a component that's connected to the TAPE OUT or VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

See pages 20-31 for information on connecting your AV components.

1 Use the input selector buttons to select the component that you

want to record. © © ©)

Audio signals from the selected input

source are output by the TAPE OUT and VIDEO 1 OUT jacks.

You can listen to the source while recording. The AV receiver’s VOL-

Q UME control has no effect on record- ing.

On your recorder, start record- ing.

Start playback on the source component.

You cannot record from a component that's connected to a digital input. Only analog inputs can be recorded. The surround sound effects provided by the listening

modes cannot be recorded.

You cannot record from a component that's connected 10 the multichannel DVD input.

If you select another input source while recording, that input source will be recorded instead.

While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the

VIDEO 1 OUT V and $ jacks don’t output video sig- nals, so select another mode when recording.

Recording Audio and Video from Separate Sources

You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep- arate sources. This is possible because only the audio source is switched when an audio-only input source,

such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD), is selected, the video source remains the same.

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

Prepare the camcorder and CD player for playback.

Prepare the VCR for recording.

Press the [VIDEO 3] input selector but- ton.

Press the [CD] input selector button. This selects the CD player as the audio source, but leaves the camcorder as the video source.

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

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

+ Check the multichannel DVD input connections (page 24).

+ To select the multichannel DVD input, press the [MULTI CH] input selector button.

+ Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.

About DTS signals + 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 mal- function.

When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit- stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen- ing 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 3 seconds, and then resume playback. With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback DTS material properly even though your player is con- nected 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 recog- nie it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you may hear noise.

+ Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 20).

Make sure that each video component is properly con- nected.

The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so if a video source component is connected to a compo- nent video input, your TV must be connected to the component video output (page 21).

On your TV, make sure that the video input to which the AV receiver is connected is selected.

While the Pure Audio listening mode (not North American model) is selected, the video circuits are turned off and the AV receiver outputs no video sig- nals.

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 com- puter.

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.

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 11).

Make sure you've selected the correct remote control- ler mode (page 12).

Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control code (page 59).

Can't control other components

+ Make sure you've selected the correct remote control- ler mode (page 12).

If you’ve connected an R1-capable Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-com- patible component to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or a DS-AI Remote Interactive Dock to the VIDEO 2 IN jacks, for the remote controller to work properly, you must set the Input Display to MD, CDR, or HDD (see page 33).

The entered remote control code may not be correct. If more than one code is listed, try each one.

With some AV components, certain buttons may not work as expected, and some may not work at all.

To control an Onkyo component that's connected via RL point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 60).

To control an Onkyo component that's not connected via fRI, or another manufacturer’s component, point the remote controller at the component. Be sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first (see page 59).

+ 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).

When the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, recording is not possible because no video signals are output. Select another listening mode.

The sound changes when | connect my head-

+ 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 model).

The display doesn't work + The display is turned off when the Pure Audio (not North American model) listening mode is selected.

How do | change the language of a multiplex

+ Use the “Multiplex” setting on the “4. Audio Adjust” menu to select Main or Sub (page 53).

+ Touse RI, you must make an FI connection and an analog audio connection (RCA) between the compo- nent and AV receiver, even if they are connected digi- tally (page 31).

The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal pro- cessing 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 units malfunction. Before you record important data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor- recty.

Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out- let, set the AV receiver to Standby.

The AV receiver uses a battery-less memory backup system in order to retain radio presets and other set- tings when its unplugged or in the case of a power fail- ure. 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.

The following settings can be made for the

S-Video and composite video inputs

You must use the buttons on the unit to make these set-

1. While holding down the input selector button for the input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP] button.

2. Use the Up and Down [A J/LW] buttons to select a setting (see below).

3. Use the Left and Right [J/1B>] buttons to change the setting:

4. Press the [SETUP] button when you've finished.

+ Video Attenuation This setting can be made for the DVD, VIDEO 1, VIDEO 2, or VIDEO 3 input. If you have a games console connected to an S-Video or composite video input, and the picture isn't very clear, you can attenuate the gain.

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

Outputting S-Video Sources from the Composite Video Outputs This setting can be made for the DVD, VIDEO 1, or VIDEO 2 input. With this setting, you can output S-Video input sources from the composite video outputs, useful if your TV doesn't have any S-Video inputs. Y/C Mix:Off: S-Video input signals are output by only S-Video outputs (default). Y/C Mix:On: S-Video input signals are output by S-Video outputs and composite video outputs.
