	Off	A	Set A: 7.1 channels
Off	On	B	Set B: 2 channels
	Off		No sound

Speaker Set A: Main Room

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 equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward.

Center speaker

This speaker enhances the front left and right speakers, making sound movements distinct and providing a full sound image. For 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. In general, a good bass sound can be obtained by installing the subwoofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way along the wall, as shown.

Surround back left and right speakers

These speakers further enhance the realism of surround sound and improve sound localization behind the listener. Position them behind the listener about 2-3 feet (60-100 cm) above ear level.

• While speaker set B is on, these speakers output no sound.

Speaker Set B: Sub Room

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 equally spaced from the listener.

Speaker Configuration

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

The following table shows which channels you should use based on the number of speakers that you have.

Number of speakers:	2	3	4	5	6	7
Front left	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Front right	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Center		✓		✓	✓	✓
Surround left			✓	✓	✓	✓
Surround right			✓	✓	✓	✓
Surround back*					✓
Surround back left						✓
Surround back right						✓

*If you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

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

Before using the AV receiver, you must specify which speakers are connected and their sizes (see page 34).

To get the very best from your surround-sound system, you should also set the advanced speaker settings (see page 55.)

Attaching the Speaker Labels

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
Surround back left	Brown
Surround back right	Tan

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. All you need to do then is to match the color of each label to the corresponding speaker terminal.

Speaker Connection Precautions

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

• North American models: You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 6 and 16 ohms. 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 amp protection circuit may be activated.
• Other models: You can connect speakers with an impedance of between 4 and 16 ohms. If the impedance of any of the connected speakers is 4 ohms or more, but less than 6 ohms, be sure to set the minimum speaker impedance to "4 ohms" (see page 34). 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 amp 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 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 a speaker to several terminals.

Connecting Speaker Set A

1 Strip 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. Fully insert the bare wire, making sure that it's touching the threaded shaft in the center. Screw the terminal tight.

Connecting a Powered Subwoofer

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

Note:

Make sure the plugs are pushed in all the way.

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

If you're using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the left (L) SURROUND BACK SPEAKERS terminals.

Connecting Speaker Set B

1 Strip 3 / 8'' (10 mm) of insulation from the ends of the speaker cables, and twist the bare wires tightly, as shown.

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:

While speaker set B is on, speaker set A is reduced to 5.1-channel playback.

Speaker Set A

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

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 19).

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 19).

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 horizontally 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.

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 and Jacks

Multichannel analog audio cable (RCA)		FRONT SURROUND CENTER SUR BACK DVD	This cable carries multichannel analog audio and is typically used to connect DVD players with a 7.1-channel analog audio output. Several standard analog audio cables can be used instead of a multichannel cable.

Note: The AV receiver does not support SCART connections.

Connecting Audio and Video Signals to the AV Receiver

By connecting both the audio and video outputs of your DVD player and other AV components to the AV receiver, you can switch the audio and video signals simultaneously simply by changing the 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 an audio connection and a video connection.

Video Connection Formats

When choosing a connection format, bear in mind that the AV receiver doesn't convert between formats, so only outputs of the same format as the input will output the signal.

Video Signal Flow Chart

Audio Connection Formats

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 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 connected via R1 should be connected directly to a wall outlet, not the AV receiver's AC OUTLET.
• The socket type and capacity depends on the country in which you purchased the AV receiver.

Connecting Onkyo R1 Components

Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (connection in the hookup examples) (see pages 22 to 30).

Step 2: Make the RI connection.

Step 3: If you're using an MD, CDR, or HDD component, change the input Display (see page 33).

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 37), 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 (page 60).

Notes:

• Use only RI cables for RI connections. RI 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

• 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.

TP (Traffic Program)

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

Notes:

• 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 displayed 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.

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 7.1 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, no video signals are output in this mode.)

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.

Stereo

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

Mono 1

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 IIx expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-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. If you're not using any surround back speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of Dolby Pro Logic IIx.

PLlIx Movie

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

PLlIx Music

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 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 from 5.1 to 7.1 multichannel 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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

PLII and PLIIx Music Mode Settings

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

Panorama

With this setting, you can broaden the width of the front stereo image when using the Pro Logic II Music or Pro Logic IIx 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 or Pro Logic IIx 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.

Center Width

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 to 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

Center Image

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 (-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.

Dolby Digital EX Input Signal Setting

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

SW Sens

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 connected to the SUBWOOFER input jack of the multichannel DVD input.

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

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 DVD VIDEO 1 VCR VIDEO 2 TAPE TUNER CD Remote controller 1 V1 2 V2 3 V3 DVD 7 TAPE 8 TUNER 9 CD	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-UME control has no effect on recording.
2	On your recorder, start recording.
3	Start playback on the source component.

Notes:

• 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 to 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 S jacks don't output video signals, 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 separate 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 connected 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.

: video signal
:audio signal

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, then start playback on the camcorder and CD player.

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

Advanced Speaker Settings

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 malfunction.

• 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 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 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.

Video

There's no picture

• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed in all the way (page 20).
• Make sure that each video component is properly connected.
• The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so if a video source component is connected to a component 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 signals.

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.

Remote Controller

The remote controller doesn't work

• Make sure that the batteries are installed with the correct polarity (page 11).
• 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 controller 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 controller mode (page 12).
• If you've connected an RI-capable Onkyo MD recorder, CD recorder, or next generation HDD-compatible component to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks, or a DS-A1 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 RI, 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 RI, 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).

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).
• When the Pure Audio listening mode 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 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 I change the language of a multiplex source

• Use the "Multiplex" setting on the "4. Audio Adjust" menu to select Main or Sub (page 53).

The R 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.

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

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.

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 settings.

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 [] / [] buttons to select a setting (see below).
3. Use the Left and Right [] / [] 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, orVIDEO 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:0: (default).

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, orVIDEO 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.
